Who is Kei-chan ?

^ Oh they asked Kaori about Keiko even if she left FJ ?
No it's a screenshot from the KajiFes Day 1, during the concert.

Kaori was asked a question by Kajiura like everyone afterwards. I think the question was about something that has changed, so Kaori seemed to be saying that Keiko told her that her voice and way of singing (including producing vibrato) was still the same. Kaori was saying even though her style of singing is the same her voice is improving.

I used Chrome's built-in Live Translate feature while watching the live, and took a screenshot of the paused screen, that's why it looks like Kaori is speaking in 3rd person about herself. 😁

Any Japanese speakers could correct this if they recall the Q&A section. :bow:

Kaori and Jessie J

Notice their heads (jaws, chins, ears) though Jessie J has a wider jaw/overall.

As I've watched videos about the voice, I have come to see how the shape and dimensions of a person's face/head (the resonance spaces) determine the vocal tone and voice type - in conjunction with the vocal cord length/size. A video I watched spoke about how singers with larger jawlines/heads tended to have bigger voices - e.g. powerhouse singers of different traditions like Jennifer Hudson, Jessie J, Joan Sutherland, Birgit Nilsson - due in part to their the natural endowments. Add to that lung capacity and lots of training to maximize breath, move resonance, and use vibrato and you have a standout voice.

In FJ, Kaori's more pronounced jaw, the larger forehead, jaw, (basically larger head size compared with Keiko and others) gives her a lot more naturally reverberant space for her voice, The position of her eyes, nose, etc., and how she moves her air when singing helps shape the tone.

Kaori has a bigger voice and is able to belt powerfully using less effort than a, say, Wakana, or Hikaru, or even Joelle. She probably has a larger lung capacity as well with her larger frame.

The great thing about developing singing technique is that, even with smaller facial features and voice (smaller natural resonance) you can use advanced techniques to still project your voice powerfully using other ways of resonating - e.g. Yuriko's masterful use of the mask and her unique vibrato to take space and stand out often without opening her mouth so wide - without resorting to yelling for power / loudness or overdoing the use of nasality.

Maybe this post should be in the https://forum.canta-per-me.net/thre...olo-work-hikaru-kaori-keiko-wakana-etc.12655/ thread. I don't know.
 
I thought is was just a solo vlog at home until she rode her bike to Kajiura's house for the rehearsal!

Really cool/chill vibe with the video and background music which I appreciated. Just a normal day.
Also appreciated that Emiko made sure that she captured all the vocalists and Kajiura herself, even if briefly (Yuriko made sure to come over more than once - she likes the attention 😁).

I specifically noticed that her speaking voice is both low and a bit husky which immediately made me think that she could lead a Kajiura rock song easily. Saiki of BAND-MAID is a low-voice frontwoman for a rock band, and Emiko's even deeper-voiced (and has a wider range too).

Since I look strongly after appearance, I am going to ask you a question. Are there only a few members (Keiko, Joelle, Emiko) that looked prettier than Kaori in all stage appearances or are there more?

Prettier than Koari? 🙄 Seriously though, 🤣 all of the ladies are pretty, especially when they're excited and expressive on stage - very much so in this last YKL!

Of course, Kaori is a favorite but apart from looks, appeal is also about charisma, crowd engagement, and playing to the camera during lives. Kaori is good at that.
