Agree with everything Coral had said except one. Wakana was gorgeous here in AFA Indonesia too. Hikarifuru, as I've said, is the star of the concert. She didn't strain her voice there and her notes aren't flat either. Her voice isn't as thin as in the recording version of to the beginning too. That said, the honkiness voice Wakana had once developed is because she changed her singing style - and now she has controlled her singing style quite well, without being too honky. But for me, I don't really enjoy Wakana's voice in the christmas live songs included in Alleluia single - especially in Kimi ga Hikari ni Kaete iku. It's not soft, her new singing style basically only she restrain her voice by keeping it in her upper mouth between the throat for keeping more energy so she doesn't get tired as often (I know how she produced her voice but idk how to put in on words - for clearer visualization, look at Kimi ga Hikari Type Moon fes) and that made her voice really thin because she kinda restrain her voice too much there. But her control over her singing technique is getting better - christmas live was last year and she's marvelous this September...so I think she's doing really fine nowadays.
Well, with my biased opinion about Keiko, I still think Keiko was still the main star of the concert in AFA ID-her 'mabushii asa' is the one that made the crowd go wild. She's the most consistent one, as cerise had said too - and in her FJ live vol.9 DVD twitter event, as far as I remember, Kajiura only praised one vocalist, and that is Keiko in 'I swear'. Kajiura said - "I swear - now this is incredible. Keiko-chan did a really great job here."
And I think Kajiura does considerate about her vocalists - she said Wakana had to use a new singing technique for After Eden songs, and she made that album full of Hikaru so Wakana can adjust her voice more (at least I see it that way).
