^ Lets not forget Wakana's parts in Kalafina too. Poor Kaori has to record a Kajiura song since distance. Although I bet that one of the other songs will contain Wakana in it. We just have to wait for the rest of the radio episodes.

I'm thiking the same, we have yet to listen storytelling or storm.

I'm really loving "Elemental", at first i was like "Ah?" but everything is awesome, like everyone is saying the tribal feeling is nice~ I can't wait to listen the other songs.
 
a little correction for everybody, the type of music that open "elemental" is India's Raga, not tribal, the percussion at the beginning is Tabla and followed by guitar liked instrument Oud. so i think "elemental" is somewhat similar to "Lotus" from Fiction-II & kalafina's "serenato". it got a heavy middle eastern feel to it, followed by rock rifts. this type of music widely performed by ethno-rock inspired artist like Peter Gabriel.

:uh..: :uh..: :uh..:
sorry... i'm such an a-hole right now..

overall, i love "elemental" and i expect the girls dressed in India's traditional dress "sari" or middle eastern inspired costume.. well, they might be since the music is sounds like this..

Not at all. It's good to know the actual genre and instruments used in the song.
 
elemental is awesome :shy: .
I think I heard Wakana's voice at 1:18 when she sing "kono kanshou no subete..." :confu:
 
@George: I meant in FJ songs only, since that's what grunty was talking about I think. *still really likes Wakana though*

Well, I am going to start getting an "allowance" now, so I'm thinking of buying it after all. (still have to pay parents back though heh)
 
^ I know what you mean, but since Wa-chan has a big part of Kalafina already I think its time for Kaori Yuriko Asuka and Yuuka to shine a bit in her place.

so to sort out things a bit:

elemental > Kaori with FJ chorus
storytelling
Hitorigoto > Kaori with FJ bridge
Toki no Mukou Maboroshi no Sora > Kaori, Wakana main, Yuriko/Keiko chorus
Hitomi no Chikara > Yuuka, FJ chorus
storm *
eternal blue > Kaori, Wakana main, Yuriko/Keiko
stone cold > Kaori, Wakana main, Yuriko/Keiko
Nohara 「野原」Keiko, FJ chorus
Parallel Hearts > Kaori, Wakana main, Yuriko/Keiko
gaika 「凱歌」
Yakusoku 「約束」> Yuuka, Yuriko chorus
Distance > Kaori, Wakana main, Yuriko/Keiko

So we have got 5 upbeast songs where Kaori and Wakana share the vocal, and Yuriko does chorus, 2 Yuuka songs + 1 upbeat (which doesnt really count as new), 1 ballad , and 1 Keiko, and 1 Kaori ballad. eternal also turned to be with main vocal Kaori but the chorus is spread acros the song and isnt limited only to the transitions and bridge.

So what's really missing here is a Yuriko (since she has only gotten kajiurago so far), an Asuka (because her last FJ song is "everlasting songs" and the Madoka one is going to be in the OST) and a 2nd Keiko song. The remaining songs are probably gonna be balleds since we have 7 upbet songs while only 3 ballads, and storm is a half ballad so XD
 
Asuka's no longer in FJ.

I only hope storytelling and/or gaika is Yuriko. Plz plz plz plz plz. :cry:

This sort doesn't sort out anything lol.
 
I would hope for a Yuriko song... ...

And some Keiko wouldn't hurt either...

I need a few more listens to elemental and the full version before I can really say whether I like it... :ayashii:
 
Wasn't there some Kaori in Nohara as well? I would have to listen to it again.

Really looking forward to gaika, since elemental is so awesome! heh
 
^ yes there was but was so little that I dont really count it and included it as "FJ" since it wasnt only kaori in nohara's bridge.
 
OMG....that sounds so different but I like it!!! Thanks for sharing!! The intro is something really interesting, but I didn't expect to see them in Sari singing this since I think Kalafina has tons of Arabian-like songs but they've never worn anything close to Arabian style..lol. (Unless you count their veil in Oblivious single...:P.)

I like when Kaori&Keiko sang together in the verse. The violin in this rockish song sounds a bit out of place. Even I love violin sound, I think I prefer it without violin. (I mean the one during the hook. Not sure whether it's the real violin or not. Sounds more like synthetic string sound.)

I feel that Kaori still sounds a bit awkward in the fast part in the hook, but she may be the one in FJ who can handle with that part. (Definitely not for Wakana or Yuriko, and I'm not sure about Keiko... In fact, I can't recall the song that these present FJ members sing so fast... may be Kaori in Stone Cold, but still not this fast. Hikaru's part in Consolation may be closer, but she wouldn't be in FJ songs..anyway.)

And....erh... I'd like to say that.... The feeling of the title song Elemental is extremely different from the album cover...lol.
 
Just listened to elemental and my opinion about this song is pretty much the same with grunty's for obbligato, which is I'm not sure what the track wants to be, except elemental falls on the bad side now for me. It's still not on "I'm gonna put the track on repeat" list now but I'm still curious about how Kajiura will drive the song (since it's almost 6 minute long - guessing a super long kajiurago bridge or instrumental bridge here). Waiting for the full version.
