@ninetales: yes there was but since I was rather late into the show I dunno how many letters were read, probably 2 or 3 letters...

Did Yuki herself read them ?

I haven't listened to all of the samples yet, but I hate image theme.
I hate the original as well.
The only one I love is the live version.
I'm pretty sure it's just because I can't stand how these American singers have to annunciate EVERY SINGLE DAMN THING and then the lyrics don't flow as well. I'm just always used to ~softer voices for Yuki's songs (for example: original canta per me vs. fiction version).
Emily Bindiger is the only American vocalist that I can listen to.
Oh, well. Whatever. At least I still have my Best of YK version.
Lotus sounds pretty though.

I'm slighlty disappointed 
I was expecting alot more I guess with all the hype and whatnot. For the word...there is too much Emily for my tastes...image theme sounds so pale in comparison to the live 
Perhaps its just me...but from the samples she sounds sooo....tired? Her voice doesn't sound as good as it did on Vanity or the .hack series. Maybe its been too long..

Re:
I've just found that "I heard my long forgotten cloistered sleep" is one of my favourite track from XS...(I think I can't remember or didn't know its name) I love all new song except I swear and in this winter... lotus may be my favourite...>_______< Well...even the vocal style is very different, lotus remind me a song in .hack...but I can't remember its name... Orz..
and EGO..between Wakana&Eri..it sounds more like Eri..but...I'm still not sure...I feel that Eri's voice is a bit sharper than this..
at first..I'm not sure should I ordered this one or not.., but after listen to the sample..I think I'll order it after I get the TA work for next semester..

.. But I like this one too.

Re: Re:
Listened to the samples.
The vocal of 'I swear' sounds a bit too pop-ish and annoying, I think. Like the song though.BTW wasn't 'I swear' the title of Oz(from 'Pandora Hearts')'s character song..?
'E. G. O.', 'L. A.', 'heigen' and 'lotus' sounds quite good. 'I reach for the sun' is kinda..well, so-so, though.
Like the Xenosaga ones a bit, except maybe 'Sweet Tomorrow'.
'everytime you kissed me' and 'forest'..the fact that the two songs are in the album, unarranged, is quite a reasonable reason for me to buy it.
'in this winter'..not bad, but not that good either. When I first heard the title, I expected a EPIC song(for example a song like 'red rose') or a heart-tearing, sad song...
For 'March', it sounds a bit too light for my taste..but, I think I'll have to listen to the full song to judge whether I like it or not.

No, if my brain is correct that's a scene from a live digest video that was included in some concert DVD. Can't remember which one, though.george1234 said:lol tsuba is that siggy a collaz ?

Re: Re:
L.A is old recording, as well as all the Emily Bindiger songs (except the new one) + Sweet Song http://canta-per-me.net/2011/02/fiction-2-tracklist/
Its Maybe Tommorow (unless you confused it with Sweet song )
not it was the melody that reminded me of a song. I dont remember which one I will have to search.

Lotus sounds like a BGM from Madlax

^ You mean that its a BMG that would fit Madlax or that its melody sound like one track from Madlax ?
Nick Hunter
I have reached Yuki nirvana
It might fit Madlax alright, although it might fit KnK or Madoka even better.
@Kagaribi: I compared Lotus to .hack tracks, what you were reminded of is probably Aura.

don't care for the sample of "i swear" at all. i really dislike that kind of singing...
the rest sounds great, though! E.G.O. is my favorite so far. and heigen is something special... it sounded like a male at the beginning?

My opinion of the songs:
1. maybe tomorrow - the arrangement is sweet, but the vocalist voice is I prefer Kaori to sing this song, andI hope Kaori will sing this in YK live vol.7
2. in this winter - perfect song for sleep..I don't have any songs with accordion as main instrument, so this one is soothing~
3. The Image Theme of Xenosaga II- prefer the FJ version from The Best Yuki Kajiura 2008-2010 album
4. Lotus - Number 2 after E.G.O. This song is cool~~~
5. my long forgotten cloistered sleep - another favourite..the arrangement makes me want to dance some weird moves hahaha
6. I swear - or maybe I have to wait the full version, an maybe my opinion will change
7. forest - again, prefer the FJ version from The Best of Yuki Kajiura 200-2010 album
8. Sweet Song - the song is as sweet as the title. But the vocalist's voice sometimes annoys me
9. E.G.O - Favourite track of the album. Can't stop repeating this song and can't wait to hear the full version
10. everytime you kissed me - Maybe it's only because I only hear FJ and Kalafina nowadays *since I know them actually*, I prefer Kaori's version. Kaori's version is more emotional for me.
11. I reach for the sun - another "prefer FJ version"
12. L.A. - sounds the same like in FJ version, so I liked this one~~
13. March - finally a "original vocalist" song that I like
14. heigen - resemble me with Enya's "Only Time" but I like this. The more I hear the more I think that this one really sounds like "Only Time"
well. it seems for me that because I'm hearing FJ voices more than Emily and another Yuki's vocalist, I prefer all the songs to be sung by FJ members. From 14 tracks, only 4 that I really like. I really hope that FJ will sing these songs in YK live vol.7 and they make a DVD or CD from the Live so I can LOVE these songs~~

Hum, I was really in a hurry when I made my opinion (since I was going to sleep when I saw that elcazador posted the samples) so I think I'll elaborate a little bit more:
in this winter - not much to comment about it, apart from the fact that I like it
The Image Theme of Xenosaga II - It's fuckin' Deb Lyons!!!! Heh, I'm probably the only that prefers it over the FJ live version lol My favorite sample for sure
lotus - very nice song, but something in it tells me it will be a bit repetitive over the course of the whole song.
my long forgotten cloistered sleep - nice to finally listen to it with full quality
I swear - no, just no.
forest - fine song, never cared much for it.
Sweet Song - I really don't know why, but I've always like this song. Love Margaret Dorn and her "different voice"
E.G.O. - nice, but I don't know if it's my type or not yet
everytime you kissed me - Love this song until the kajiurago bridge. Love Emily in it as well
I reach for the sun - fine song, never cared much for it²
L.A. - fine song, never cared much for it³
March - I like it, sweet and light
heigen - really like it, may turn into a very good song
Maybe Tomorrow - good arrangement, Emily Curtis is terrible
Seems like a pretty solid album, but since I'm not a fountain of money I won't be able to pre-order it (neither buy it, to be honest).

So maybe tomorrow is by Emily Curtis? Then I don't like her either So far maybe tomorrow and I swear are the least liked songs. But who knows, maybe the full versions are really good
