Several years ago this showed up in my "Recommended" items on RU-vid. I had neither heard nor thought about Japanese Pop music before that. As I listened and watched, I was completely drawn in by the musicality, the way the three voices melded while handing off melody from one singer to another so seamlessly. I was completely captivated. Since then, I've grabbed everything Kalafina I can find, and about 85% of their numbers are on my primary playlist. This remains my favorite among their songs, although a couple of others, especially Hyakka Ryouran are close. The only thing I find wrong with Kalafina's music is that I can't have it playing in the background - I find myself pausing in whatever I'm doing to focus on listening. I'm saddened by the reality that they've disbanded, and that there won't be anything more coming from them.
That’s awesome! I love you found them that way. It’s possible you’d like the anime that is from. It’s called Madoka Magica and I consider it to be something that a person who doesn’t even like anime would enjoy. Just hang in there for a bit when it starts, it will seem very different from what it actually is until a certain point. I’d recommend it to ANYONE it’s that good to me, plus this song will mean something different after you’ve seen it. Many of their songs will.
Aahhh, this song brings back memories. Watched Rebellion two times, once in streaming with a friend, who I no longer talk to, unfortunately. The second time was with my sister at the cinema. She didn't get anything about themovie other than "They're all lesbians, right"? That fucking killed me when I heard her say that, lol. Aaahh, good movie. Glad I have the DVD box with the guide and everything. Definitely need to rewatch it two or three more times!
_No one understands me._ _I could free this world from pain and uncertainty myself._ _You thought you could do it, right?_ _You betrayed me! You betrayed my feelings!_ _You misunderstood from the very beginning._ _You did it all for yourself._ _Nobody wants me, so they can all just die._ _Then what is that ribbon for?_ _Is it okay for me to be with you?_ (silence) *_AAAAAaaAaaAaAaAAaAaaAaAaAAaAAaAaaAAAA!!!!_*
+Hayden K. I don't dislike any of their videos, they are always visually pleasent, but when it comes to the song I usually prefer the live version :) (I think that's what the original comment implied although it's written "MV" haha) *sorry for my bad english*
4:24 shizukani yorisotte doko ni mo yukanaide madobe de saezutte doko ni mo yukanaide... "quietly stay by my side don't go anywhere... watch me by the window.. ...don't go anywhere" *repeats melody Homu :')
Despite how sweet and innocent this song sounds, when reading the lyrics and taking Rebellion into consideration, it's the saddest song in the entire pmmm franchise imo. It's all about turning a blind eye to a painful truth and choosing to exist in a fantasy where you can truly be happy, and that's a pretty good metaphor for what Homura wants Madoka to do. She essentially created a "fantasy land" where Madoka could be truly happy at the cost of her own salvation, and even tried to consider the feelings of the friends who tried to save her too (albeit that wasn't her primary goal.) And honestly? That's what frustrates me about people who think Homura was selfish for what she did. In reality, she did the most selfless thing she could possibly do. Homura could have let herself be saved, to exist as a part of the law of cycles for all of eternity, but would Madoka ever truly be happy that way? In my opinion, no. If we do what Homura did and take their conversation in the field as Madoka's true feelings, she was essentially saying she was miserable as a goddess (or at the very least, that's what Homura was hearing.) Taking that into consideration, it makes a lot of sense why Homura would do what she did. Even at the end of it all, even if it made her the villain of this story, even if Madoka herself ended up hating her... She wanted to do anything in order to let Madoka live a happy life. Not to mention that if Homura hadn't done what she did, the Incubators would have tried everything they could to capture Madoka as many times as it took. At least with Homura as the law of cycles, she can personally keep close tabs on them and prohibit their interference as much as she can. Sorry for getting side-tracked, but yeah, I don't think Homura was selfish or even necessarily wrong for what she did, nor was it out of character in any way.
You are absolutely right, finally someone who understands that the intention of homura was as pure as possible, and that over time it was staining, but never turned away from its objective
@@estefg5485 I think the core moral flaw in Homuras actions was never and isn't at the end, her intentions. It's her means. Does she MEAN good? yes .... does she DO it, argueable. She totally ignores the opinions of the others and becomes so focused (you could say trapped) in her own perspective on everything. ..... it's a tragic, complex difficult story .... obviously Homura sacrificed a lot, tbh i think she sacrifaced more unconsciously than she's aware of .... does that make her end result right? ...... Guess that's the topic to discuss ... i don't think so
@@alexschwarz4749 exact. She sacrifices even her own happiness for that of madoka, what you said about the subject to discuss, because I would like you to say it ... after all, time never passes for madoka magica sorry if it looks bad or not understood, I am using xD translator
The Incubators would have been there anyway, if Homura went with Madoka. The battle with Homulilly gave Kyubey exactly what he was after in the end: he confirmed the existence of the Law of the Cycles as an entity (a side effect of Madoka's wish, she has to cleanse the Soul Gems with her own hands after all), and not just a universal law, and got to observe its abilities (Sayaka and Nagisa etc.). He would not have stopped trying to gain control. The possible rewards would have been worth even a long struggle.
This might be my favorite of the Madoka OP/ED songs. "Magia" is intense, dense, and raw, but this track is delightfully subversive in the way that I enjoyed the Rebellion story. Superficially, this has the light airiness of "Connect" and its kin, but after everything we'd seen and heard through Rebellion, and where it finished out, that tormented undercurrent convulses all throughout the span of this track, deludedly acting as if it is so chipper and dainty as it sounds, but not meaning to deceive, only in denial as to the burden carried along these notes. It's cute, in its own way, pitiable, where I hurt for it and yearn to see a reckoning, to someplace where this supposed happiness is truly uncompromised.
I was literally listening to the song and thought to myself if there will ever be a new movie coming out so I checked twitter at a whiff and BAM movie 4 was announced
I don't understand this song but still whenever I listen to this song it conveys an unknown emotion that makes me feel emotional and makes me want to cry.....and it does make me cry❤😭✌
I don't understand a single word but this music sends me to Paradise. This song...this beauty...I m so glad I found this. This is undoubtedly my all time favorite song. I don't know the story behind...but the music puts a nice smile on my face the moment it starts....n the moment the violin starts...I can't help but sway left to right with joy Huge fan of Kalafina. I listen to a lot of their songs...Hanataba, Door, Heavenly Blue, Magia....and Aria is the most powerful song I have heard. I just get dwelled into that music.
I love Kalafina as a whole but if I have to define a song to call my favorite, it would be this one. It's so beautiful and melancholic at the same time, and extremely well sung by them. I miss this band.
Llegara el mañana se volvera en eternidad mientras la luz nos ilumina .... Ese niño que jugaba fue el primero en llegar a casa --- quedate a mi lado no te vayas observame desde la ventana no te vayas a ninguna parte.... Esto es hermoso
conoci a kajiura hace años por sus bandas sonoras en animes de las CLAMP en específico tsubasa y me puse a buscar hasta llegar a kalafina y me enamore mas y considero esta cancion mi favorita tienen un especial que me relaja

TBH this really give me goosebumps when I listened it with eyes closed Like you're in an abandoned carnival wreckage and suddenly it lights up again... Gorgeus and eerie at the same time
harmony that create by yuki kajiura was splendid!!!, its really unbelieved this trio was underrated group. they should promote them more. it rare to see trio can sing beautiful in harmony and hv their own aura. hope one day they will sing again.
