Thanks!
The first one was fair. Their voices were become more strained by this point to my ears.
The 3rd FJ one was shocking to me the first time I heard it being a full unedited live (Royce for the win), with Wakana's seriously off voice in may parts, breathing, dynamics, etc. I wondered if the audience didn't squirm hearing all of that and recall that Kajiura seemed visibly annoyed at one point during the video. Lots of commentary for that video. Some songs sounded almost studio solid takes, especially a couple by Keiko ("Houseki") and Kaori ("Dreamscape").
I found myself noticing the added difficulty of blending in a group like FJ of Kalafina as compared to Ensemble Planeta (or Voces8) where they are all classical/chamber singers and so can hone the blend and harmonics to the nth degree for some incredible acappella goodness.
I had watched the 1st and 3rd but the second was a treat seeing my young lovelies with their still-very-fresh voices and looks! I would admit Mr. Kageyama's enka-rock voice initially threw me off from listening to their harmonies, but I saw his juxtaposition working especially with Wakana, well enough together for a duet I think.
