It might be like Adore; the preview sounded like a generic anime opening, but it turned out to be a great song IMO.
 
Going to be indifferent here until we get to hear a better version. A bit too dance-y for usual Kajiura-style. And yeah I did hear Wakana so... :ayashii:
 
Or something which is called "Fan boy-ism" : Worshipping everything as if gold, platinum, diamond, or god-like which one has made even if the work is objectively shit.

Objectively? Come on, being a fan[boy] and being objective are antonyms. :XD: It's a matter of whether the artist's style and way of writing clicks something inside you or not. The ratio of the tracks that do and the intensity only define the degree.
The problem is, if a person is not a fan, that doesn't guarantee objectivity. You may play the song to an uninvolved person who has never heard of the artist in question, and still his/her opinion will be based on whether the song appeals to them personally or not. Being a critic is a tough job, and I heard it requires music education and special training. How many of us here have one, really?
So with my judgement of Yuki's works acknowledged as utterly subjective, I don't even begin to be a critic. Why bother searching any faults at all, then? Instead, I want to know if the new song has that elusive and not quite describable something that once made me a Yuki Kajiura fan. While the quality and impression may vary, everything I've heard so far happens to have it. Does that make me a fanboy? :tea:
I'd say it's rather that you don't like what you hear because you don't hear that something that once made you a Yuki Kajiura fan. All the variety of opinions is ultimately based on this. To each his own, everyone may like Yuki's music for specifically defined traits and merits, judging new works by the presence of these. But nobody is truly objective. :plot:
 
I believe this stone cold represents FictionJunction's trur style/characteristics, which are somewhat different with Kalafina songs :sparkleguy:
 
On a second listening I noticed that Wakana does backing vocal for Kaori (what Keiko usually does in Kalafina) so that's why some people hear Wakana in some part. That's a really rare combination :ayashii: . The Chorus is like was said before by Yuriko and Wakana.
 
^ I should listen to that again...if Wakana does do the chorus, than I will have somehow managed to read Kajiura-sensei's mind. I can't understand how I predicted the style of Stone Cold :omg:

EDIT

I hear Yuriko on higher chorus, and I'm not sure whether it's Wakana or Keiko on lower chorus...maybe it's both :confu:

And I'm liking it even more with multiple listens :V:
 
Hmm.

I potentially may like the full version. A bit generic-sounding so far yeah, but sounds catchy and fun.
Good luck to the vocalist who's singing the main melody live, those two high notes are easy to miss.

Speaking of the main vocalist, I was expecting Kaori too but it sounds like Wakana. The singer makes a sort of throat sound when she sings "keredo", and only Wakana makes those sorts of noises when she sings. However, the singer's tone is a bit more... childlike or higher or something than what I would expect from what I've heard of Wakana and Kaori so far. We shall SEE!

I don't plan on watching the anime because it just isn't interesting to me. But I want to hear its OP.
 
Sounds more like Kaori to me so far. At least when she takes higher notes in the part "- - te" (??? sorry, I can barely make out the words, but it's the third line in the refrain :@_@: :XD: ), Wakana's voice usually sounds different there.
The refrain just keeps growing on me, btw. :dote:
 
so far im getting good impression of Stone Cold from the Trailer and like it :dote:



I wish Yuki make more songs like this :dote:
 
Well... I didn't like Red moonwhen I heard its sample, but later I loved the song. So I hope the full version of Stone cold will be much better than its sample :uh..:
 
As a matter of curiosity, how do y'all tell when Kaori or Yukido is singing? I more or less have Wakana and Keiko down (well, Keiko's voice is kinda difficult to NOT notice) but without video, I've never figured how Kaori or Yukido's distinguishing features.
 
Re:

on multiple listens, i have decided that i think it's wakana and kaori singing the melody.

i would love to hear wakana singing lower harmony though, i've always heard her sing higher. if that's true maybe keiko could try higher harmony :ayashii:
*winter's wild imagination runs away*

yuriko has more excessive vibrato and can sing higher than kaori so she has a lot of high vocal parts. she usually sings harmonies and background vocals to support the others. kaori has a lot more melodic parts and has a fuller voice, and she tends to sing long notes with crescendos. check out canta per me and LA live if you wanna practice distinguishing between the two (kaori sings lower harmony and yuriko sings lead in both cases). hope that helped :XD:
 
maybe yuki's trying a different approach?but it has a yuki feel on it. i wish to hear th whole song already. :uh..: techno is okie for me, but still i want a classical touch on it :ohoho:

live vol.2's dream scape and... everlasting song...?? :confu:
 
Cool! It suit the scene well!
I thought it sounds like Kaori.....but who knows. Wait till we see it. Whoever the main vocal is I really like the song! :dote: :sohappy:
 
I think it's wakana :shy:
the [...] keredo part or the omoide subete nai datte or the stone cold it's sounds like her, but like win-chan said more childish or higher, not normal wakana xD

and for the song I like it *_______* so upbeat and :nosebleed: Can't wait :sohappy:

No... when it comes to music and fans, of course it isn't objective... but at least, the fans could try to be objective, and still accept the weakness of an artist... not only praising it whatever she has made, and trying to counter each negative statement, either with a smile, sarcasm, or bad attitude.
Only fan-boy do that... and I'm sorry... I see you as one.

Being objective is no simple... but hey! at least some can try to be simple one, like stating one song to be generic, since you can compare it with other generic songs.

A coffee tastes bitter... that's objective. You like it or not, that's subjective.

I myself praise other artist, but I also accept their weakness. When one says, he doesn't love my fave artist, then, I will ask it why, then that's it!

why bothering to search any flaw? if one has found any, of course they will say.

Hmm, that might not work for Wakana. Remember when she sang 'toki o tomete' in Magia? I think her voice is too light and operatic-sounding to go that low, so she sounded a little choked to me. As I recall, no one on CPM particularly liked her singing that. I think Wakana is limited to singing higher harmony, unfortunately :rain:

But as for Keiko singing higher harmony...I adored it when she sang 'mukidashi no hontou ga' higher in the lives of Sprinter, so more of that would definitely be welcome, at least for me :shy:

I didn't mind Wakana's "toki o tomete", actually. She got the notes out without coming to the end of her range. But I know Wakana singing low harmonies is impossible, unless she expands her range or the vocalist she accompanies sings higher.

TBH, I hated the "mukidashi no hontou ga"- it sounded horrible to me, and is part of the reason I can't listen to the three-man rendition of sprinter. I didn't like that Keiko changed to her falsetto midway through the line, and that the melody she sang was uber weird because she was trying to compensate for both her vocal part and Maya's. But I LOVED Keiko's higher notes in vanity, the world, and Kizuato... even so, Keiko singing high harnonies wouldn't work unless the vocalist she accompanied sang mid-range or lower.

Oh well... these are just dreams. :XD:
