That PV was really amateurishly shot, why did they have to stand between lamps to sing (they are just in the way of the camera) and one would wonder what made that door behind them open at that exact point. No plot at all, almost like a studio live inside who knows what (churches don't have these kinds of lamps inside them) and the lights are visible (!), they dont come from the sky (like they should, "hikari furu") but from the floor, seriously those Sony guys have no imagination. :uh..:

But the song is really nice! :dote: :dote:
 
I suppose most of their videos do have a bit more semblance of a plot than this... Churches vary, I guess, if that's what this was supposed to be, but good point about the lights. But about the door, it's a PV, an artistic vision, there doesn't have to be a reason for the door opening. I remember them fading away in a few PVs, and you could ask the same thing; it's all just to add drama to it.

I think if I get an LE, it'll be the DVD, I don't really want to pay extra for a Blu-ray of this one... :rain:

Well, I don't think the lives were absolutely terrible, but Hiakri Furu was the best. I think it was the one closest to the recording. Magia was okay, they had issues with the chanting-chorus mostly, and Hikaru staying deep enough. Okay, Mirai was pretty bad, Wakana shouldn't have gone that high, and I think some harmonies were off... :uh..:
 
thank you to grunty and nimsaj :sohappy:

I'll be talking about the live for now, since that was the only time I got in the stream :uh..:

Magia: It was great! I dont know what were the exact changes in it but it was more dramatic that the original. I like it :sparkleguy: The live is great as well, even if Hikaru was trying so hard to stay in her low vocals. Keiko was perfect! And Wakana was fine (I guess XD). :XD:

Mirai: One word: FUN!! it's like they are having fun while singing. Didn't notice anything wrong in it. IMO, it is the one closest to the recording. They should make a PV for this one using the recording in the stream :ohoho:

Hikari Furu: I didn't like it. Maybe because the live seemed like a disaster to me. It's like everyone is straining especially Wakana. On one part I thought Hikaru missed her cue, but I'm not really sure since I haven't listened to the recording. (missed the PV :rain: )

Overall: 15 minutes in heaven :sohappy: I love it. Gotta buy the single soon.

BTW, that one part that Hikaru looked in the camera, I was like :fwa: then she smiled :shy: :shy: :nosebleed:
 
^ LOL I also noticed the part where Hikaru looked at the camera side-wise and it was really cute :shy:
the PV can be found on the previous page.
 
So that's ひかりふる。　I found it pretty... plain? It's too formulaic and sticks to well trodden territory. Also, while I hate to say this, was I the only one who thought Wakana's tone, during the beginning and end, painfully honky?

I'm not a big fan.

^ Do you mean the studio live or the recording?

basically Hikari Furu is in the style of seventh heaven.

The recording.

Yeh, basically, as in both of them are slow ballads... That's where the similarity ends for me... : P
 
still cant :blood: I have vlc and it works with other videos. Maybe my download is corrupted or something. It keeps repeating the first second of the video. :uh..:

I have the same problem as her... Anyone kind enough to upload the PV to vimeo, please?
 
I think that WAKANA sounds great in the MIRAI live, am I the only one that thinks that?

And I can't tell whether or not it's KEIKO autoharmonising herself or was that lower harmony at the beginnning of HIKARIFURU HIKARU? I really like this song btw haha It's simple but blissful.
 
^ please :plz: and thank you.

PS: Hikari Furu is growing on me. I keep repeating the live. I'll be taking back what I said soon. :ohoho:
