Waiting for Kalafina 2nd album, Red Moon

[Nick Hunter]

Predicting is interesting, though I used to expect Ongaku to be something... Well, something like the later Hikari no Senritsu, actually. I thought Love Come Down would be a ballad, too.
Imho Red Moon seems utterly unpredictable, since it would depend on the theme and lyrics (a red moon is quite a wide concept to use). Still, I dare to bet Fantasia will be either slow or mid-tempo (like Storia or Lirica).

hello everyone! i'm new to the forum but i'm an avid reader of canta per me, i sometimes post comments on the Cbox as AG.
I'm really excited about the new album but as the majority of you guys i'm terribly disappointed with the cover, i mean c'mon we're talking about Sony music couldn't they hire a better designer? anyways as some of you, i did my own version please tell me what you think :)

 

[Kerahna]

I love your design

but you forgot the red moon ^^

haha i know! but i rather put a red sky, a red moon behind the already mentioned RED MOON text seemed a little bit ludic to me :0 but oh well let's hope that the music quality has nothing to do with the album art quality.

Re:

I'm not thrilled what-so-ever about TETOTETOMETOME. It just sounds ridiculous. I'm not one to judge. But come on, Kajiura.

I thought the "remake" cover by Kerahna was the ACTUAL cover, and I was like "Oh. Looks like a Halloween poster." And then I go back and realise that the actual cover has a white background. I just don't know.

Well, just think that TETOTETOMETOME might actually be "Te to te, me to me", which is like, phrases? I mean, would you consider "Hand in hand, eyes on eyes" ridiculous in English? I don't think so...

And also about the cover, yeah, it sucks, but since when is the quality of the cover related to the quality of the album?

 

[Kizuato]

Never said the two are linked. But who doesn't like a nice cover.
And I just realised that the Red Moon cover bears some resemblance to the Lacrimosa PV. Not 100%. SOME.

 

[undergroundpyjama]

Yeah, nice covers are always good to have! It just seemed like you were questioning the whole album with that "I just don't know.", sorry for the misunderstanding >.<

And don't worry, resemblance by definition excludes the 100% possibility

The cover is amazingly beautiful! It just makes me shake with excitement to see the real cover now...

It isn't related at all, but we have to keep in mind that this is a band that from the very beginning has made an effort to make us see that their image is an extremely important part of who they are, so it is only logical that we expect visual quality in everything related to them. It's such a contradiction to not put enough effort in their album art! anyways, as always i expect great music from Kalafina, but i believe that this is an isssue that should be adressed by their label.

Ugly ass covers.

 

[Kizuato]

@armisael: I loved your cover. I like it more than the actual thing. You pose an excellent point.

 

[ReijiKitozawa]

Armisael! Your CD Cover is so GORGEOUS!!! Prettier that the real cover! I may have to use yours as the album art...

 

[Kizuato]

I have to say that I'm rather disappointed that there will be no "Red Moon" PV.

oh! thank you so much i'm glad you liked it, i wish the real one could be somewhat similar to what i did u.u but oooh well, you can use the cover i did as you wish, just did it to show you guys how i think it could have been. Thanks again. :)

i'm really disappointed at this too :( they look so beautiful with those clothes it could have been epic!.. or slow and boring but pretty beautiful none the less XD

So true. :\
I was hoping for something like the Seventh Heaven Album... Oh well. 48 page booklet? That beats a PV anyday!!!! (if I actually get it, that is.......)

 

[grunty]

Well, let's be honest here... Going by all the other Kalafina covers/PVs, did you really want a PV with an all white background?

 

[Kizuato]

LMFAOOOOOO
That's rich. I can just imagine that white background with that one moon in the background and a chair + PV.
Disaster.
