New FictionJunction album "elemental" and YK Live vol. #11

[PeachPitt321]

Watched the whole live!

More or less happy with it . My favourite songs were elemental , storytelling, forest,historia, nohara, absolute config, Hanomori no Oka, Kimi Ga Ita Monogatari and gaika

Enjoyed the live flute in a variety of songs. Keiko was amazing as usual, though sometimes she used her cutsey voice ( always preferred her deep voice), Wakana was strong in this live as well as Kaori. I was surprised with Yuriko because- as people have been saying- she looked a bit sleepy . Maybe during the MC she was half sleeping and then woke up to say something and failed

Wakana's English is clearer than any other live! Then again she replied very well to me at Japan Expo so I should of known heh


While this is one of my favourite song lists , volume 2 and I think even 9 had more energy . In the land of twilight for example was a bit lifeless compared to volume 2. Of course I prefer vocal quality to running around and being out breath. Also I know it would of made the realse longer but I really really missed the full MC's ....either way I will certainly buy this live !

EDIT: Audio mixing was interesting to say the least. Yuriko's microphone was too loud and Keiko's was too quiet imo XD

@Kenji: The FJ version seems to have higher volume, so it overlaps chiaki's voice and that wouldnt happen if it was really a live.
also I expect you to include the guitar solos of the studio versions too :P

I cant wait to hear Chaiki's live ver of Kimi wa boku ni niteiru (Kuga said she would perform it)

 

[Kugayama]

^ Thanks Kenji!

It's true, @Kazado also told me. It was just that the Chiaki's powerful voice was overlapping the voices of the other girls, so I decided to reduce the volume of the voices of them.

I will try to do the thing of the guitars and to increase the volume!

Thank you so much for your critics, I really appreciate it ^_^

Are you speaking about me? lol

 

[george1234]

No, I talk about @Kazado

 

[Daphné]

Does someone have the making of ???
I'm so curious !

Note:* The Making of is inside a separate DVD sent to those who send to Flying Dog by mail some application form found inside Yuuka’s and FJ’s Vol#11 Blu-rays.

^ which means we will never see it unless someone from Japan leaks it.

 

[Martin]

*sighs* that's a shame. I'd love to see a making-of documentary! Finding out about the creative process and the behind-the-scenes stuff in the studio and backstage would be really interesting.

 

[PeachPitt321]

Just made flacs from the live, so believe in the onions if interested

That's some evil misadvertising on JVC's part, since the Bluray cover boasts Live+Making on all the shops.

 

[PeachPitt321]

JVC you meanie!!

 

[Yukito]

Now I get why Nohara wansn't performed in the whole tour. Every time they sing it, Kajiura HAS to do that long speech about the song. It was the same in Osaka hahahahaha She was too lazy to repeat it every live performance

Just kidding, but it was funny to think it this way

I totally agree!! However it was stated in detail is some announcements found in the FJ website

Not to menthion that you have to pay additional 700Yen to send they flyers to Flying Dog

I've written to my proxy service to know whether they may interface between Victor and me, let's hope for a positive answer (they usually answer fast)

 

[Alphard Sokaina]

The part with rising up, Gaika, absolute configuration and Kimi ga Ita Monogatari was the most enjoyable for me. Storm and zodiacal sign were quite ok too, but like most of the other songs they lack energy and emotion. I hoped to have at least one solo song by Yuriko, but well... probably it's good we had none considering her condition. She definitely didn't look well and during the two MCs she sounded as if she was dying

Sad they had no guest vocals this time. And Kore-chan, you so cool with your new haidro and necktie!

About the english intro I figured it was Calling you in One and Only night. But here it's like Calling you in Cry of Lonely night????

Calling you in quiet lonely night? Or Calling you and cry in lonely night? So many versions to come up with lol

 

[grunty]

Calling you in quiet lonely night?

Ooooo... This just might be it! At least it would probably make the most sense, but I can still hear that "cry" in there so fuck us...

there is some making-of footage with the blu-ray but there's even more in the mail-in the extra DVD, according to this:

If you're wondering what it is, it is a DVD with more "making of" footage. Apparently they shot 100 hours worth of footage in HD. Naturally, they can't put all 100 hours in the BD, so a portion of it will be a bonus track on the BD. Another portion will be in this special DVD that they will give out to ALL who apply for it.

 

[george1234]

Oh now I remembered about it! Well the 100hours thing is probably without Montage since that's a crazy amount of video (I assume they even followed them in the toilet lol), still it's misleading to say that you have making of when it's not all of it, and not state it before purchase.
