Skyrah1 Hikariful: song of healing, preventing them from becoming a witch, then free them from the soul gem. or if the magical girl has became a witch, it will free the soul them from agony, and send them to heaven
A single camera shot of three fully-clothed ladies singing with their feet rooted to the floor for almost 5 minutes - and yet I've watched it over and over again, and loved it every single time. The can be only one conclusion - the song is absolutely wonderful, and Kalafina are a beautiful gift to us music lovers!
Yeeeeeesssssssssssssss... Madoka Magica still interesting,but not Perfect without kalifina Very very very very very very very not Perfect I hope kalifina Will back for this one,once again plssss😭😭😭
The lyrics of this song is perfect! I cried without know the lyrics and when I read them, I knew that they sang perfect!! They transmit the message perfectly, it's totally beautiful and angelical! Lyrics: Light, a dream-like melody, shower over your cheeks. We’ll go as far as we can under this gently sky with only our fragile hearts and with our shivering wings. For tomorrow, for our nostalgic past, we made this small promise for them. Let’s keep our promise at the end of time. I wait for the day I can see you again, I can only keep on wishing until I reach that future which gets further away. Even if I were nowhere to be found, I’ll always be by your side as the light which shines over everything. This world is so fragile it could disappear any minute. But because you’re here, I thought of protecting it. Making a silent prayer, I close my eyes and in this final moment of serenity, from afar a bright morning comes. Light, a dream-like melody, shine over you…
Before I watched Puella Magi Madoka Magica, this song only makes me feel "oh this is beautiful", but when I finished watching it, this song gives me another feeling ;_; It seems that Godness Madoka takes all magical girls enter a paradise after they die, which is without despair, hatred and painful anymore, and live in peace forever... (btw Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a MUST-WATCH anime. One of the best anime I've ever watched.)
+SSS WhiteWing If you look for the translated lyrics and read it while listening the song, you will realise that is like Madoka was singing this Homura. Some parts also feels like is Homura singing to Madoka.

Not only is the song absolutely beautiful, the video is perfect in its elegance and simplicity. I didn't notice the first time watching, but it's all one long continuous shot with a single camera. I especially love what Keiko does after the "mabushii asa" line towards the end, where is seems as if she's about to say something else afterward, but then sadly chooses not to. Hikaru's expression of sadness during most of the video was also very nicely done, but I kind of expect the best emoting from her due to her past videos and live performances. Wakana's featured vocals are lovely, as usual. I'm pretty new to the Kalafina/Yuki Kajiura bandwagon, but I'm so glad I finally discovered them. Magia is the song that made me want to hear more from them, and I've been pleasantly surprised by how well they perform a variety of styles. I'd love to see them live.
I've seen a bunch of them and they really are great live. The Lisani Live version of Magia is wonderful, as is their cover of Anna ni Issho Datta no ni from an Animax concert. There are a bunch of great concert videos for FictionJunction as well, taken from full length concert Blurays/DVDs. I've gone so far as to sub a bunch of songs using Aegisub and lyrics from online (including this video). If it weren't for copyright issues, I'd upload my subbed versions to RU-vid.
+Robert Bleach Yeah I know how you feel, even many covers of Kalafina songs made using the official instrumentals are regularly deleted from RU-vid, it makes me wonder why Sony provides said instrumentals at all. And SME totally sucks in promoting this awesome band.
For anyone wondering about the lack of attention, that's not exactly it. Japan blocked a lot of music from youtube for a while and it's just somewhat recently being allowed, many artists have Vevo now. The labels decided to share. Japan is the second biggest entertainment industry in the world, right behind USA. And Kalafina has been around for a while. They don't need any attention. Japan appreciates any international attention but it doesn't really matter to them. And for comparison, kpop tries and succeeds to become popular internationally, because the Korean industry is much, much smaller. It's interesting that bigger and smaller markets gain more attention but I think Japan has so much from the anime and the culture that attracts visitors, there's no desire to really promote beyond Kyary who was trending a few years back.
+annie b There's no accounting for taste, but to my opionion, if you look at the quality of Japanese pop music, it is on a very high level. More chords, more 'eye for detail in the musical content, and diversity. I think probably because the emphasis is more on the music than on selling the 'product', where in Western popular music a lot of motivation for making a popular song, seems to be making profit. This is not really an analysis based on market knowledge, but from what i've seen and heard about Japanese culture and comparing that to the left upper corner of this planet (seen on 'our version of the world map). I think that South Korea is somewhere inbetween the US and Japan, and that's logical, since there's a large American presence because of the North-South divide. I live in the Netherlands, where it seems the market is very protected, even against US- music. Not necessarrily by economical means, but choices in airplay and as a result, diversity is very low, the product is clean, spotless, perfect, but it's lost it's soul. BTW, if you look at the 'non-pop' music industry, like fusion/jazzrock, progressive rock, soul, funk etc. it's a different story.
j3193music yeah.. When im comparing jpan songs with the song from my country in term of its lyrics, jpan songs have deeper and more meaningfull meaning.
"It's okay. It's alright now. You don't have to hate anyone anymore. You don't have to curse anyone anymore. I'll go back before you turned into this, and take your burdens away." - Madokami when she saves Walpurgisnacht
There's plenty of good music across many genre's from many different parts of the world. If you can't find something good from the US... or anywhere else in the world at that, it's a matter of expanding your horizons and viewing music for it's composition and not restricting yourself to a specific style. In certain scenes there is amazing music coming out of America. It's just not usually the "popular" stuff - but if you have not noticed, popular opinion around the WORLD is nothing more than a collective of idiot's opinions. I personally believe most people from almost all industrialized (and otherwise...) nations have shitty taste in just about everything. That may be the nature of opinion, but singling out America in this seems a little silly, no? When you can walk down the streets of any Major city on this planet and hear a bunch of attitude and zero creativity on everyone's stereo.
Despite the fact that this is a Wakana-lead song, it's easy to forget that Keiko held that note at the end of her 'mabushii asa' for an astonishing 9 seconds. Holy shit.
This was the first ever song I’ve heard of Kalafina around 10 years ago and I’ve loved them ever since.💛 Got heartbroken when they disbanded, I wish I could’ve seen and heard them live. Would play this song at my funeral for real.
I am reminded again why Hikaru's my favourite to watch. For me her expressions and movements are always lyric-driven. At 2:15, she took a short lead and seemed to stand apart from the others even looking to the side. It was fun watching her different expressions compared to Keiko's and Wakana's. From 2:38 moving gradually from the downcast look and gradually raising her head in time to enter her second lead line was subtly dramatic and effective. The little bouts of no movement then sudden outbursts of emotion. 🥰 From 2:44 onwards was the rising climax and all the three ladies' expressions and movements were amplified and synchronized. Emoting!
Wakana is so beautiful,so is her voice..Those high notes are awesome and she did those notes perfectly beautiful in live performances too,especially in the Consolation Special Final Live Concert..
I really love this song! I do believe however that the girl on the very left should've gotten more features, she has an amazing voice! I noticed this by watching 2:15 and 2:44, those are her only features but prove that she should have had more melody lines, but nonetheless, this song is one of the most beautiful soundtracks I have heard! (besides the song called brothers from FMA) :D

“I’d never go alone to somewhere so far away that I couldn’t see any of you again. I could never bear to do something that would make someone as strong as you cry like this…” [Insanity Level Updated]
This is absolutely breathtaking... By far my favorite song my them... It gives me chills every time especially when the one on the right sings omigoodness 😭
Damn they sing so beautiful like WOW talented. They can harmonize so awesomely, they sound like they were classically trained. The blend with like the orchestra instruments & the other instruments was done so well. BTW did not expect that voice to come out of the 2nd girl who sang classy. XD
+Sirine Aissa is someone ever ask me to describe Kalafina, i will say they have angelic voices..they didnt belong to any genre..they are just in their own league
2:43-4:50 Some may ask what it's for, Protecting a world that could just disappear... Everything I do, it's all cause' of you I hold it close, as long are you're here... I close my eyes, in gentle prayer Repeat the words, with ease and care And then, when all, is said and done Calm times have begun Good morning everyone.... Look to the light, It's a song like a dream in the night, May the days on shine bright.....
Finaly available here in france, I'll never stop loving kalafina, four years and I love her voices more and more, they make me dreaming, I hope they'll always make me
I remember stumbled upon this marvelous song when I was still in school and I shed a lot of tears bruuuuh and then couple years later, I tried to find this mv but to no avail??? Only now, I able to search it back on youtube and of course, I'm bawling my eyes while typing this
je les adore elles ont une voix tellement belle quand je faisais de la chorale j'entendais tous les jours chanter des personnes et je me disais qu'elles chantent merveilleusement mais là je me suis dit en écoutant kalafina avec wakana, keiko et Hikaru qu'on à trouver les déesses du chant, elles ont des voix d'or... kami-sama no koe
Ayer fuí uno de los privilegiados en disfrutar de esta joya EN VIVO - Kalafina LIVE tour 2015~2016 「far on the water」- México - Simplemente glorioso !! (T_T) *** Yesterday I was one of the privileged ones to enjoy this LIVE - Kalafina LIVE tour 2015~2016 「far on the water」- Mexico - Simply glorious !! (T_T)
i wanna cry, realmente llorare de alegria, años intentando ver a estas maravillosas catantes, me siento tan bien de que allan incluido a la argentina para poder ver sus videos.
Unbearably beautiful. I might be too sensitive for this kind of stuff, but I have to remember toin breathe while listening to it. This is, IMHO, the top of the top of the genre.
I love how calm Hikaru is compared to Keiko and Wakana. She almost keeps staring at a point in the distance which gives her a really calm atmosphere. Best point in this video is when the background door opens and the light shines upon the three beauties
