At this point, I just prefer it if Kalafina just stop singing Kajiura songs and just have their own songs made my Takebe

Haha!

I think it’s always fun to hear different interpretations of songs we enjoy, but they have to be done to a very high degree to be accepted as worthy variations on the original.

One of her favorite covers of a song is still KZ Tandingan’s cover of Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep”, up to the point that I prefer it to the original! She’s a different artist though so that was a genre change, with multiple musical styles and vocal techniques brought in.

When you have a vocal-forward acoustic cover - like rito’s cover of “Gloria” - then it’s a matter of the vocalist, their skill, and expressive power.

The issue for me is I don’t think that the ladies have the full vocal powers necessary to carry acoustic interpretations and to make them memorable enough to stand alongside the original songs.

Refusing to use what Kajiura (and FBM) has provided in terms of the vast and intricate sonic landscape (a fantasy forest) they were supposed to walk in freely, makes their voices more exposed, and and seem to float in a vacuum (ina desert) when they sing minimal of their popular songs.
