2:14 Really liked the interplay between Keiko and Hikaru's voice, which the energetic way Keiko came in and surprisingly how full Hikaru's harmony low notes were - it was almost as if Keiko was singing both parts.
This to me sounds like a cross between Te To Te To Me To Me and Hoshi no Uta or something like that.. Old school Kalafina in a sense, yet upgraded. Very nice. :)
I love this song, and I love Kalafina, but the opening few seconds of this song sounds exactly like Particle Ghost from Half-Life 2. Oh and Keiko is amazing.
is there a video or webpage where I can watch the whole concert?? I've been looking everywhere (even to buy it) but it's not available in my country :c
the only "problem" with this song is that "Hyakka rouran" is even more complex :D so it went from Yami no Uta to this and then into another Universe or smth. :D
can i know what this song about? i really want to know what story behind it.. it has a deep meaning seems this song kinda dark and depressed..kinda story like a girl was left behind her lover/someone she loves or something..
Typical Kalafina. Maybe it's a matter of a translation, but their songs are more illustrative, than meaningful. In other words, their great for imagining stories, but I wouldn't look for depth in their lyrics. Besides, Kalafina's songs seem to be pretty dark at most times :)
@@yabayaba4009 I mean while looking at the lyrics for this song- it is INCREDIBLY dark. They are strangely fatalistic comparisons of beautiful things fading away into nothing. The color "light purple" or "Lilac" or even the comparison of "coloring" is like an acceptance of this theme of Endings. There is this constant reference to Dawn and Dusk which seems to kinda cement it for me. The stanza of "Scent of Flowers" and "Blooming like Mistakes" makes this even worse because the narrator is admitting they understand this is wrong but is embracing it but still wanting hope. The way "this light drips into my parched heart" seems to indicate that they believe they've got just the small sliver of hope/light keeping them going. That's just rough. "What lingers and descends beyond the sky light" is like that shift - that slight shred of something they want. Like a call or a feeling they've felt before. And then it dives back into that feeling of depression, not just for the Narrator but in a broader sense. "People who cannot be kind, weeping for the Autumn Twilight" is a LIIIITTLE on the nose here when you go back to earlier imagery. Autumn is the gradual decay and the people who long for the end of "Dusk" so to speak. Those who (like the earlier depictions of Happy then moving to Sad/Gone) are now in the spiral state or "twilight". The phrase for "Knee" is specifically "The Hollow of the Knee or behind it" could mean... SO many things lol. It could mean "Those who follow me" which is an understanding the Narrator is one of many who feel this way, and won't be the last- supported a bit by the next lines of the lyric. This Cold, freezing Depression could ALSO mean it's something that follows no matter where they go. I myself had a hard time trying to piece that one apart because the use of the word "knee" felt like an odd word choice. idk, this one confused me a bit cause it could also mean "It's always there". It ends with being "Coloring everything" which sounds pretty much like "Being consumed by it"- Depending on the interpretations of how literal it all means, it brushes on some pretty deep feelings of Depression and being acutely aware of it. This is just me analyzing the lyrics and the overall imagery the song conveys. I know a lot of Kalafina songs have a rather strong meaning behind all of them with themes and imagery but this is by far one of their "Darker" songs. I know some are meant for painting a story but this one seems more deliberate, like how Magia is about "Wanting something" and "Knowing it's not the best choice" and "Throwing everything away for this temptation".
I think it give a touch of spectacle during the show, and it seems important on japanese performance (look AKB & cie, KPP, ALI Project, Nana Mizuki and so one...). And it "fill" part of instrumental better than just a singer waiting to sing, like if they enter more the song. Yet, it's not always very good with them, I'm okay, but I don't think is really a bad thing, maybe just not well done for the moment. They only begin to become real performers, not only fabulous singers.
some songs are weirder than this..... but yeah, they are weird. i think this is because most Kalafina songs aren't for 'dancing' stuffs, and they have no good choreographer because, simply not their main focus (compare to normal idol group, i mean). and somehow i could imagine Wakana being uncomfortable in dancing, she's born to sing elegantly :' if you ask me, i would prefer lighting playing for the 'spectacle'. like the one they use in 'into the water' - 'in every nothing', a few song before this song. mannn it is amazing and epic...
Marco Agusto I only agree with you depending on the song - to my serious surprise, this choreo was _very_ on point, especially for one with no props. I feel most people would say that In Every Nothing was their best performance if they were forced to choose one including any dance because those outfits were a tremendous inclusion, so like I said, this was really nice in their aesthetic.
@@calebc.4343 i agree, for real I think this is the only acceptable Kaladansu so far. The one they did on after the vocal bridge is actually nice to look at and flows perfectly with the music, unlike their other Kaladansus.
