Keiko's solo debut (after 2020)

The music is bleh. More drama of course because some people prioritize music over the performers and vice versa. Careful not to question the holiness and sanctity of YK singers otherwise you'll be unpersoned by one of these fanatics. Expressing criticism = negativity in 2020.
 
omg why didn't i monitor this thread before wow much drama

people should know that it pains me to trashtalk about Keiko's debut but it's really really mediocre. I listened to tsubasa from Wakana's debut single a lot, and i found myself humming to altern-ate every now and then. I haven't listened to Keiko's songs ever since i listened to them for the first time - they're just that boring. My love for Keiko's voice can't beat how I don't like both songs.

Anyway puts please let cpm be cpm :(
 
I mean... it's just a screenshot of the protools session (and without drums - unless those FX tracks are supposed to be drums but I'd guess some pre-processed effects) but seems pretty generic structure-wise, lol.

Quieter intro with piano+minimal a.guitar and synths, then everything kicks in on chorus (bass, a.guitar, e.guitar, busier piano), violins I+II(possibly frantic) on refrain only, harmonies on refrain only. Buildup to the second refrain (first too probably just not as busy) - or just heavier 2nd half for verses. Silence or drums/effects (?FX) right before refrains.
Compression on vocals seems pretty heavy... so... Uh...?

My dumb prediction: Be Yourself part Deux with a quieter intro/first verse, lol. Watch it be a ballad instead, lol. (Assuming we even get a confirmation/or figure out that a track was from this screenshot.)

Sorry for being a party pooper already, lol.

I might get banned from certain religious Kalafina groups out there for saying this but — do you think Keiko has gotten plastics done to her face?

Don't think so. She sometimes looks better or worse but never like an entirely different person. This isn't Tomi Lahren we're talking about.

Omg we do almost always think alike. I definitely have tweeted something about this on my (now deactivated) twitter acc. Idk what but her face just looked kinda different to me now, esp on her solo debut photoshoot. Maybe she's done a face-lift or smth earlier this year as on Pripri event she still looked like 2018 preKaladisbandment Keiko. I wouldn't use the term plastic, though as I think it's kinda offensive. I have no problem with it, though. She's free to do what she wants to do with her body.
 
Please note. Keiko is now 35. There is a general thinning of the face when people are in their 30s. That's probably what you are looking at. I see no radical change in her appearance. Besides, photos can change a persona's appearance due to many factors.
 
Doubt I'll like it but I'll wait for the vocals. The verse part I was like "Oh okay, so we're going for some rnb vibe that's interesting" but then the chorus part happened and it seems shite. What are those synth strings? (And if they aren't synth, then they weren't worth spending money on.)

Seems that's what the protools screenshot was from.
