That's almost 6 minute, right? :XD:

That's as long as symphonia and only slightly shorter than Eden. Judging by the tempo of the song, then the song must have some very long bridge, be it instrumental, kajiurago, or with actual lyrics but with slower pace (like signal) or a long instrumental interlude.

9 days left! I'm waiting for Kowzie's post then. You guys must know what I mean :XD:
 
@ritardando: Awe, obbligato is still my fave song by Kalafina. heh Yeah, it is a little chaotic, but not as much as Yami no Uta.

I am so looking forward to gaika and storytelling, I hope one of them is upbeat as well, a song like adore maybe? Since that Kala song sounded more FJ to me.
 
^ like I said in my previous big post that rita called useless, this album alread y has 7 upbeat songs (ph, toki no, stone cold, eternal blue, distance, Yakusoku, elemental) so the chances are that the remaining new songs are ballads.
 
@Liana : About obbligato, I actually really like it. It's my 2nd favourite from consolation album. Actually I said that what I feel about elemental is pretty much the same with grunty's opinion about obbligato, and elemental is the one that falls on the bad side for me, and not obbligato. :XD:

@George : Actually your post wasn't useless, I'm sorry for my...rude behaviour. Although I really hope for more new Keiko solos, I somehow doubt it because : She already had Nohara, got to sing the bridge for eternal blue and Toki no Mukou, and sang the opening and closing stanza for Hitorigoto - George didn't point out this before, because according to George, Hitorigoto is Kaori with FJ bridge because I think that Hitorigoto is the only FJ song so far which I can clearly hear all vocalists, even Yuriko had an english part, although the english lyrics wasn't officially published. On the other side, this made me hope for more Yuriko-lead songs, and for me Yuriko-Keiko combo is the best, because I'm not a big fan of Kaori in lower harmony, since her vibrato tends to come out louder and sounds weirder in lower harmony (like stone cold and Hikari no Yukue live).
 
^
That, too. I said you, Kowzie because you're the one who found the leak for consolation first, lol.
 
I also hope for a Yuriko lead song, she hasnt got one since Himitsu :(
I would also love if they sometime were performing Gensou Rakuen, since although Yuriko's voice has aged since then, I would love to hear it live.
 
thank you!

storytelling sounds good but the sample part is too repeatitive music wise, hope the rest isnt.

gaika's music style reminds me of adore, love its melody, I think Wakana really fits to it, and I think she has a different tone to her voice in this one compared to Kalafina songs :ayashii:

storm, I wasnt expecting Wakana to take it. This radio-like filter sounds strange, as if its a flashback.
 
mm, gaika sounds good. :dote:

I think I'm going to like Storm Wakana style. Her verse singing was good.

storytelling-same as elemental. need the full song and some more listens.

There's no filter. A LQ version automatically plays if connection is slow.

I like a lot of these. storytelling I have mixed feelings since it's kinda...J-poppy for me. storm is very beautiful. Wakana fits it very well, I have to say. :ayashii: Gaika is interesting - I have to listen to more of it to accurately judge the song.
 
@ritar: I wasn't talking about your post, I was talking about grunty's. But I guess everyone's opinion is different. I didn't find you were really rude, just speaking your opinion.

I loooove gaika. (listening for the 2nd time, it makes me want to get up and dance Gypsy style lol) Okay, getting this album now. lol I love Wakana's voice here, she has gotten a lot better in my opinion. I think I will like her version of storm too, but maybe there will be a Yuriko part? Please? heh and storytelling is nice. Like George said it might be a bit repetitive, but I think I will like it. Just wish there were more new songs.
 
@Liana : grunty said that obbligato is not bad at all even though he doesn't sure what the track wants to be, though...I'm too lazy to search for that post again. I remember it because it was rare for his gruntiness to compliment newer Kajiura's songs so it kinda stuck in my head. :XD:

Anyway I love Gaika. I'm really glad Wakana can control her new singing technique so it didn't come out as honky as it was back there in 2012 (the year where I can barely tolerate Wakana's voice).
 
storm love love love the new arrangement and Wakana's singing :love: it reminds me of Tsuioku even more now :dote:
GAIKA TOO OMG I can't wait to hear the full version
however in storytelling to me it felt like the music and singing weren't mixing/blending very well...
can't wait for the 22nd now :sohappy: even though that's when my history internal assessment rough draft is due and I haven't started on it yet sobsob
 
The second episode of the Kajiura radio show is out
http://www.jvcmusic.co.jp/asx/a/a-03170.asx

this time there's big sample of "storytelling" at 10:39 :sohappy:

+
(half) english chorus :ayashii:
-
repeatitive :uh..:

imo it sounds like a song from the chiba saeko era.

please run away

sometimes you are not the only one
up and down we'll go again

God I really don't like storytelling. It's so forgettable. :uh..:

The link is still working so just save while it's still up.

And yea, storytelling kinda sux. I really like the instrumental intro but the song has little to do with it.
