I like the rock element Kaori's voice lends to this version. I also agree that Keiko and Wakana sound great together. But I think that when Kaori adds her voice into the mix (Gaika) it sounds a bit better. Keiko's low voice has a bit more depth and Wakana's sounds a bit more richer and higher. Just my own opinion though. Feel free to disagree.
your comment reminds me to Sound Horizon's song, "the Endia and the Knights". there was Kaori-Yuuki-Remi there (the same Remi who joined Kajiura utahimes much later), with Kaori as the lead vocal.... Kaori's voice is 'fierce', strong and stable (?), it was nice to have her. However years later they add several singers to this song (Shimotsukin, Miki, and another one...sorry, forgot her name), and they shared the portion of the vocals (Kaori isn't the lead vocal anymore)..... and i don't like the result. I don't mean to say they are bad, but it lost the 'fierce' and strong feeling it supposed to have. haha sorry for the rambling, i just remembered about it XD
I totally agree with you. Pretty much what Hikaru does in Kalafina. Her rock and powerfully emotional voice enhances Keiko's deep and dark alto and Wakana's serene tragic soprano voice
0:14 That's how you start the vocals for a song! The only one who could have that impact for this kind of a song in this group! And with a 10-11 second belt. ❤❤❤ The one and only Kaori!
@@雉猫機械化装甲師団Very sad to hear that about Hikaru. She's my favorite but her voice suffered a lot of damage and she couldn't rest until after Kalafina was disbanded.
I just noticed that Keiko has to change the texture of her voice depending on if she is harmonizing (in duet mode) with Wakana (with a soft floating voice) or someone like Hikaru with a more piercing/rock-like voice.
Vocês sentem toda essa magia que envolve essas músicas e essas apresentações ao vivo?! A Yuki Kajiura tem realmente dom de trazer todo esse poder com suas músicas, sejam letradas com vocais dessa maravilhosas vocalistas, seja com suas belíssimas instrumentais para Soundtrack! Amo muito!
How beautiful it must be, to see a perpetual Twilight sky. The purple, golden, blue hues must be absolutely incredible; hoping to one day activate my psyqualia and see it for myself.
Well not sure about that but Kaori is versatile in changing her tone, can belt better than anyone else in the group, can go brighter, has that lower range, and can use her head voice fairly well too. And she had that heavy vibrato. Lots of colors for her.
Why is there no sub for the "Calling you in quiet lonely night" part? Anyway, this is an amazing performance! I just recently discovered this group and I'm blown away.
