Yuki Kajiura 2nd Solo Album - FICTION Ⅱ

Nick Hunter · Feb 23, 2011

it looks to me as if Yuki while having her head turned says "Do you want to kiss me on the left cheek ?"

George, such words are harmful for blood pressure! :nosebleed:

EDIT: TRACKLIST!!!!1 :fwa:

04：my long forgotten cloistered sleep (unreleased work of Xenosaga)（※未発表曲）

oops, here go our expectations of Please Call My Name :comeback:

08：E.G.O.（アクエリアンエイジ ※新録音）

Is it related to Influential E.G.O.? :confu:

Although Aquarian Age pre-dates Fiction, its heritage even finds its way into Fiction II :ayashii:

06：forest　（エルカザドOST 1）
07：Sweet Song (Xenosaga II ending theme)
09：everytime you kissed me（PandoraHearts）
10：I reach for the sun（エルカザドOST2）
14：maybe tommorrow (Xenosaga III ending theme ※新録音)

Well, these were to be expected. :sparkleguy:

L.A. surprised me, though. And it's a good song indeed although if I were to choose one Kajiuran track from there, it would rather be Inca Rose or The Place of Eternity :dote:

01：in this winter (FICTION ※新録音)

erm, does it say something like "fiction main theme" or something like "reference to the original Fiction"? I wonder if this song could be connected to Winter in any way (although I predict it will be a ballad in any case :tea:

)

Heigen... is it a Japanese word?

Nick Hunter · Feb 23, 2011

Yes. Not that it's the best track or anything but nice to have it finally, lol. Finally a CD release.

wait, so it is from A Missing Year as well? is it present in the rip we have on our site? And what is it called there?

EDIT: lol, listened to PCMN again :XD:

so Yuki just renamed it after the first line, huh... :ayashii:

The (FICTION ※新録音) tells me that it's simply a new recording of winter from FICTION.

Nick Hunter · Feb 23, 2011

wow, THAT was really unexpected. :XD:

george1234 · Feb 23, 2011

Wow thanks so much Yuki88 *goes to make newspost* Oh the missing year song has better title than I was expecting lol

Where are my 5 new songs ??!!! :cry:

She'd better made awesome rearrangements to the old ones :knife:

@ winter: Maybe she put that song to give a reason for the album's coverart :XD:

[EDIT] Wait a minute... Hadnt they announced in the very first announcement that the album would have 13 tracks ? How did they end up 14 ? :XD:

Nick Hunter · Feb 23, 2011

Oh the missing year song has better title than I was expecting lol

the fanmade one was a bit more logical (even if cliche) as the recurring line in the lyrics. :XD:

Where are my 5 new songs ??!!!

Either she didn't write it in time (she mentioned that story with the unfinished lyrics), or she actually considered the unreleased song as one, or... she just changed her mind. There's a thing called "overall album image", and it may change leaving details out. AFAIR, it was the reason why Edge didn't make it into Dream Field back in 2003. :tea:

She'd better made awesome rearrangements to the old ones

I'm really curious about EGO. The original was a soft piano rendition of a pure techno-style track (the latter was one of my faves in the ost, btw). Will this remake be citing the previous features, combining them, or offering something completely new? :waii:

Also, Xenosaga Image theme... :shy:

I'm hoping for an extended version like the one in YK Live. Hoping for some orchestra in the first song. As to Maybe Tomorrow... I suspect this migfht be Emily's version indeed. :ayashii:

Maybe she put that song to give a reason for the album's coverart

or emphasize her name :shy:

Wait a minute... Hadnt they announced in the very first announcement that the album would have 13 tracks ? How did they end up 14 ?

L.A. as a surprise track? :XD:

Yuki88 · Feb 23, 2011

^ her name "Yuki" doesn't mean "snow", you know :glasses:

Kazado · Feb 23, 2011

"my long forgotten cloistered sleep"? I prefer "please, call my name" :P
L.A? Why? I mean, I love that song but it doesn't fit with this album if it's the original recording.
About "in this winter", if is a remake the "in this" is not necessary. I'm very curious... Who's the vocalist!? ;_;
maybe tomorrow is new recording, I hope a good job better than the original one.
Finally E.G.O. is "Influential E.G.O." or a mix of the homonymous album?

This album looks promising! <3

george1234 · Feb 23, 2011

EGO is probably a rearrangement of the homonymous track from the soundtrack

http://canta-per-me.net/aquarian/

#10. Evolutional Girls Organization = E.G.O
:sparkleguy:

Kazado · Feb 23, 2011

^Oh, I prefer that one. It's pretty nice.

Nick Hunter · Feb 23, 2011

^ her name "Yuki" doesn't mean "snow", you know

homonyms... driving Japanese learners suicidal since 1XXX. :@_@:

what does it mean, then?
I didn't even realize EGO was an abbreviation of Evolutional Girls Organisation. :XD:

KP-X · Feb 23, 2011

"my long forgotten cloistered sleep"

What the...Talk about an unexpected name. Glad that the song will finally be released in good quality.
I really hope for Maybe Tomorrow with Bindiger, dreaaaaaamy.

george1234 · Feb 23, 2011

^ actually, the title was within the lyrics from the very start :XD:

http://canta-per-me.net/lyrics/call-my-name/

In my long forgotten cloistered sleep,
You and I were resting close in peace.
Was it just the dreaming of my heart?
Now I’m crying, don’t know why.

...Guess I have to change the name of the page XD

Alphard Sokaina · Feb 23, 2011

Thanks for the tracklist!

It's gonna be a great album :sohappy:

KP-X · Feb 23, 2011

@george
I know that's in the lyrics, but I guess we never thought about it having such a name :XD:

Yes, 'please call me name' was most possible because its 6-7 times within the lyrics :XD:

04：my long forgotten cloistered sleep (unreleased work of Xenosaga)（※未発表曲）

I was not expecting that title.

Is Emily going to be the only vocalist? I remember when it was first announced it said that the songs would be performed by vocalists from New York.

george1234 · Feb 23, 2011

Maybe Deb Lyons or Margaret Dorn will sing image theme of Xenosaga and 1 of the new songs.
