Kalafina new single"Alleluia"

[Yurika-Chan]

I found this on Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alleluia_(chant)

Should be "Alleluia"

 

[george1234]

you forgot to link the link on that page, it says

The word "Alleluia" or "Hallelujah" (from Hebrew הללו יה),

Re:

I'm a bit confused by what you meant here though:

I don't know what games did you talk about but the popularity of Madoka's OSTs and KnK's OSTs (and also the animations.. I guess..) among non-Kajiura fans are completely different...

Are you saying Madoka is a lot more popular than KnK? I won't dispute that... for the animations... but I got the sense that KnK's soundtrack was hailed as one of Yuki's best while Madoka's was just considered "very good."

You're right about the animation. I meant PMMM looks more popular. But for the OSTs, I mean the 'popularity', not the 'quality', and mainly, among anime fans who are not Yuki's fans.

For non Yuki's fans who watched Madoka, the OSTs had been discussing a lot in many anime online communities throughout the broadcasting period and many OST tracks, both vocal and instrumental, got various versions of fancovers. I think it means that PMMM OSTs catched so much attention from public who aren't Yuki's fans but just anime fans. While I didn't see that it happened that much with KnK. (But well.., you can say that the popularities of the animations also played partial role here as well. I strongly believe that quality do not directly implies popularity. There are more issues other than the songs' quality that affects popularity. Otherwise, RHH OSTs must be extremely popular....)

^ totally agree with you :)

.... OH MAI GAWD they're coming with the xmas recordings?! wow are they sure making this hard on the wallet...

 

[Lorde-Kowz]

「seventh heaven ～2012 Christmas LIVE ver.～」
「snow falling ～2012 Christmas LIVE ver.～」
「fairytale ～2012 Christmas LIVE ver.～」
「君が光に変えて行く ～2012 Christmas LIVE ver.～」　

Oh yes! This pleases Kowz.

 

[george1234]

did anyone noticed that there wont be instrumentals of the title song/b-side this time ?

I would prefer if they were including the Lives in Video inside the LE BD instead of releasing only the audio and sacrificing the instrumentals

I suspect that "dolce" might be the ED theme for the KnK "extra chorus" movie http://www.karanokyoukai.com/miraifukuin/extra.html

 

[Hatouchan]

Will have to double dip to get all songs? How evil! I'll take one of each, please.
And yes, unfortunate that we won't get the instrumentals.
Almost makes me hope that Alleluia/dolce isn't too nice. Almost.

They better not do anything funny with the Madoka single... I'm not sure my wallet can take much more abuse.

Edit: Abandon all hope. I just saw that they will have 4 editions. Guess I'm likely to be double dipping there as well. lol

OMG

Looks like Sony finally figured out how to make us even poorer

 

[chrisgarci]

NO instrumentals?!
But those Xmas recordings are tempting, lol.

And here I was thinking that these songs will be included in a Christmas-themed album by Kalafina...

Re:

*cries
The day that that happens will be the day they release the complete box set of Yuki Kajiura lives from vol. 1 - 10

But we can always dream, huh...

 

[Hatouchan]

^Ugh. The pain. You have no idea how much I want to listen to the epic Point Zero and Tsubasa Chronicle medley from #10 again. Not to mention REMI... and the once in a lifetime all star rendition of open your heart... and.. and...

Why.. Kajiura... Why... It was your 20th anniversary. It's just that the 5 hour live takes a longer time to edit, right? That's why it hasn't been announced yet...right? *mumblemumble*

And here I was thinking that these songs will be included in a Christmas-themed album by Kalafina...

Oh.. this does reduce the chances of such an album now...
This chrismas live version refers to the ones from the Kalafina string lives they do close to christmas, yes?

 

[chrisgarci]

In this case particularly, the songs may be taken from the Xmas lives last year...

Wait a second, if I recall correctly, nimsaj was able to attend one of those, and here is his review of the live (which includes the recordings in the upcoming single as well)

Perhaps this one contains spoilers?

 

[Hime_Wakana]

finally the Christmas versions!

 

[grunty]

Uh. Dolce? 4 ballad lives? No instrumentals?

I guess I should abandon all hope indeed. All hope that any of the new songs (including the madoka one) are not ballads that is.

 

[george1234]

^ unless dolce is the same case as adore

 

[casarina26]

Hmm...

I don't exactly want the KnK CM...
But I want to hear Kimi ga Hikari...
Like someone said, Sony found a way to make us all poorer...

Will wait. Alleluia and Dolce both sounds like Ballads...me approves.

 

[Yurika-Chan]

No PV for Alleluia????

 

[george1234]

^ Yes there will be no PV as indicated by the product code of the LE which has only 1 number instead of 2 (like all the other times was happening) which means no DVD/BD with it, also see here http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=SECL-1391

Looks like they thought that a PV for a ballad song like this (probably without bridge, since Kajiura called it "simple") will be boring
