Most boring PV ever.

And Kajiura should persuade SMEJ, no matter how, to let the girls (and herself) to take a long long rest. They're not idol who needs to release this much in a year. :TdT:
 
:plot: :plot: :plot:
:plot: :sohappy: :plot:
:plot: :plot: :plot:

I don't even know how to comment on the single. It's what I expected (Quattro), what I hoped for (Hikari Furu) and what I hadn't even expected before the trailer sample (Mirai). Label me a hopeless fanboy, but I couldn't complain about the tracklist if my life depended on it. :nosebleed: :XD:

And Hikari Furu really sounds like a successor to Seventh Heaven. The juicy part for me is at the beginning of the third minute. :dote: :dote: :dote: Those who didn't like Sagitta Luminis may fall asleep, but as the original already got me mesmerized, it's just awesome. I think I even like it more than Mirai for now. :sohappy:

Of course, there is still a chance of falling asleep... yeah. I think I'll be giving up on Kalafina PVs. :uh..: The lighting and the girls themselves... it's all nice; overall, however, it could be an animated single cover :desksweat:
 
^well sometimes i do fall asleep listening to fj/kalafina's song but it's because of the harmony not because it's boring :ohoho:

the pv...honestly i agree with a friend of mine that when hikaru stand still without any movement at the beginning makes her look like a ghost :plot:

and keiko keep pointing up during studio live :psst:
 
It's worthless that you upload them on soundcloud because it doesn't let you download them, so,...:-(
 
so after listening to Mirai full

awesome ! i really like it. :sohappy:

it gives me the feeling i like from CJ and now its Kalafina song with japanese lyrics :TdT: :hero:


One more Epic from Yuki, thank you Yuki and Kalafina :TdT:
 
If you guys have firefox and download and install skipity you can download the pv from niconico
 
Haven't heard Hikari Furu due to slow internet. :uh..: As for Mirai, it's pretty disappointing since it's somewhat recycled from Credens Justitiam. I think it would be nicer if Keiko sang Hikaru's part. :ohoho: Wakana lacked her high-pitch voice.

Overall, the song gives off a positive aura. The song is filled with hope and light which suits the title "Mirai" itself. A future filled with hope and light. :plz:

If you look at the live on niconico douga, I can tell you that something is wrong. She is way too tense when singing, which is hard on your vocal chords. There are places where I can see the veins in her neck pop up when she's singing. I have also noticed that her voice has changed, and I'm worried that it might be due to improper singing technique based on what I saw in the most recent live. She could also barely hit the lower notes. She always struggles with those, but they were worse than usual.

Keiko in Hikari Furu is AMAZING in that live, though. Keiko is just <3.

She has been sweating since 2009 because she is fitter now, thinner to some. Seeing the veins is not an uncommon thing since she had more flesh back in the days.

It is pointless to make assumptions, at the end of the day as long as the entire song sounds nice to us, it doesn't really matter. You like it you buy the CD, you don't too bad for you. One can't expect any singer to be perfect all the time. Kalafina wasn't that famous during 2008 thus more time to prepare and not overworked.

I find her part to be most taxing in the group. That said, I find her not only okay but she is stronger and fitter since she can put up with having two FJ lives a year and two Kalafina ablums a year with 12x2 songs in it at least, excluding live events... talk about stamina :glasses:

That sounds a lot like a straw man argument, my friend... : p

It is exactly the opposite, anymore of my opinion that she is okay and fit will only results in a longer debate since you have made up your mind from the very beginning.

I will only give anyone that likes to debate/gossip what so ever with two words about Wakana.
Consistency and Over-Commiting. :tea:

I really like "Hikari Furu". It's very beautiful. And I don'rt know why, but I don't like "Mirai". It's weird... it's the first time I don't like a song of kalafina, I think... I began to like a little bit this song after few time, but... I don't know... :uh..: And for "Magia[Quattro] I like it too. And the for the PV of Hikari Furu... it's special.... very calm but interresting at the same time.

Have to agree with you. I definitely don't like the idea of recyclying both old and new songs.
 
I dunno about you guys, but I'm diggin' "Mirai" and can't stop listening to it. I loved that it still kept the spirit of "Credens Justitiam" and glad the melody wasn't messed around too much. Even though the flute parts are gone replaced with violins, I still enjoy it a lot. So what if it was repetitive, there was some new stuff in there, and what did you expect? It's Mami's theme for crying out loud, haha. I would be weirded out if it went all over the place. In this case, less is more, and it was kept simple.

I find nothing wrong with the music. The music is splendid and beautiful. But I have to say Credens Justitiam sounds more energetic compared to Mirai. I think Mirai would be energetic if only Keiko had sing Hikaru's parts. Just my opinion.

Yeah, it is more energetic originally. For this music, tempo doesn't really matter. I also enjoyed the "slowed down" version that was heard in the episode 1 broadcast. I guess that would put Mirai somewhere in the middle, haha.
 
I love Mirai, the studio live was pretty nice, but the clearer version will certainly sound much better. I don't think it's a ballad, I think it's rather upbeat compared to other Kalafina songs :ohoho: And I think Hikaru's voice is perfect for it, can't wait to hear more lives!
