I’m realizing the high value of Kajiura’s harmonies and how they have made us become fans of these ladies. We would always be indebted to her for putting this together and with the FBM too.
Back to this performance again. I'm looking forward to seeing footage of more of Keiko's solo performances with a juxtaposition of a faster pop/rock song and a slower ballad song.
Awwwwwww!!!! This is so cute to see, and Maya actually in her Kalafina days outside of the only other places I saw her (ARIA live, Kizuato live, and Sprinter MV). I wish she had stayed...
So you have a bimbo singing on point, with perfect production, looking like an angel, famous, well dressed, giving her heart for us and you get 19 miserable likes and zero comments, JesuseffingChrist. Also those do me eyes at 03:05 ooff, damn Kaori is such a bae, horny aside 03:23 look how she treat us, that's the best caress I have received in my lonely life and from 04:08 goes from a regular note not down then louder, sustained and vibrato, not bad at all. Thanks for posting anyway.
OMG finallyninfound this video... Even after disbanded, They Will always on my heart That opening with Wakana and Hikaru is so blend, i cant even tell which voice we are hear as the leading Vocal
It was really cool to hear them singing live with no effects or anything like that. When was this recorded, please? The most consistent blend throughout for me was the opening line with just Keiko and Wakana. Keiko came forward sufficiently in volume and minimized dynamic changes to more closely match Wakana so it was really like a duet.
Choucho's voice comes into her own the longer the performance went, and her belt is not bad at all. Kaori is more stable, tonally, and has more tools at her disposal in terms of tone.
Seeing Kaori is this live context is so unusual to me, especially since you say she was a guest artist here. But she has the presence and voice, just hasn't clicked as much with a wider audience.
Keiko should practise to aim for and own those high notes without feeling the need to reach up for them by liftimg her mic and neck (even if for dramatic effect) instead she should instead raise her free hand or point so part of her body (that is not her neck/larymx) is “acknowledging” the high note, but not her neck muscles. Just for comparison, Kaori has a unique range as is able to go really high, having a fairly solid head voice, ability to use falsetto / breathy tone well, Belting like no one else, and of course ability to reach low and drop her larynx on command 😂 but she gets carried away Belting and loses control of her voice, and has this tendency to raise her neck, quickly titling it to her left which ALWAYS results in her losing her pitch accuracy. Some bad habits die hard. Whenever she keeps her head down and sings high notes they come out much better. All that these ladies need to do is correct bad habits and practise the unfamiliar aspects of their voices. Still much potential to improve.
So they were really busy back then. Watching their hong kong venue after seeing hi-chan hongkong fan meeting feel kinda weird. However! I'll keep support them no matter what!
