Through checking other Kalafina songs, I found Hikaru had 4 different voices at least. Yuki Kajiura selected her out of 30,000 applicants for "Kara no Kyoukai" project for Hikaru's "penetrating" voice in natural pop singing. However another important reason of the decision was the fact that Hikaru had an ability to change her voice in harmonizing part so that Yuki's classical music construction could be accomplished, I guess.
I showed my 87 year old great aunt this and she said, "I never knew the Japanese could sing so well!" A little racist, but at least it was an intended compliment ^_^''
@TwinbyTheArtisticElf You should tottaly show her Parallel Hearts, Hanamori no Oka, Hoshikuzu or even Synchronicity. She'd be surprised and will have a good time.
@belobrk I actually showed her the lacrimosa and love come down performances, she liked those ones just as much, a funny thing to mention is that she can hardly make out Keiko's voice sometimes, it must be too low for her to hear, or she can't pick up the harmonizing well ^_^'
As much as I'd like to upload a higher quality version... I haven't been able to find one, let alone the original DVD box where this comes from, at least not where I live here in Peru. I guess we'll have to enjoy the ubicuous 360p resolution. Sorry guys. Thanks for watching and sharing the video.
je comprends pas pourquoi on compare kalafina à AKB48, c'est loin mais alors très loin d'être la même chose, mais je suis d'accord sur le fait que leur performance live est vraiment magnifique (je veux aller voir un de leur concert ><) et ce serait bien que le talent de ces 3 là soit davantage reconnu. Elles ont des fans partout dans le monde, alors pourquoi ce contenter que du Japon (ou des USA), et l'Europe alors ! ;-)
i have to say if u prefer AKB4,i'm not gonna judges u,and thats whatever your preference is. But just basing things on pure talent alone, they can't even hold a candle to Kalafina, just look at the experience level, tho this a fairly new group, the members of it were already famous and popular for many years prior to this. Kalafina consist of members of fiction junction an see-saw, so you can see why they're great. AkB4 aren't t talented and they're very generic. Kalafina is on another level.
@Needlesstosay009 Indeed. Kalafina members have a lot of experience and you can see their progress by watching their old videos with FictionJunction, those videos who aren't available above 240p resolution. Kalafina is on another level.
Oh I didn't notice your reply...Yes we think the same! Those 3 above are much cuter and much more talented than the famous girl groups in japan like AKB! And they don't need to look sexy or sleep with managers! O_O
@belobrk Just to show that he bought a very special edition of the first sell(Kind of Japanese promoting method.). And to express his feeling of these songs. They are great, and the music is wonderful.
That's just uncalled for. Yes Kalafina is awesome and all but no need to start bashing AKB48. They're awesome also in their own way and deserve 30 million views. Nothing wrong with that.
Sorry, but that girl group will never deserve 30 million views. All they do is show their skin...Now I'll take back my words about them if you'll tell me they're malking their own music or play instruments at least, I will never respect them unless the have REAL talent. AKB is famous only because of extreme promotion. It annoys me sooo much that talentless people becomes famous compared to those artists who doesn't even sleep properly just to make good music!
@Kimidori81 I generally agree with morningmusumeftw. If you love Kalafina, you have only to praise Kalafina. I don’t want to see, beneath this beautiful video, such vulgar words as you are using to dishonor AKB48.
First of all, it is useless to compare Kalafina with AKB48, because they are very different in musical styles. “AKB is famous only because of extreme promotion” is not true. Some of AKB48 songs are very well-made as light pop songs(This kind of music has its own raison d'etre) .
Agree with her/him all you want, you will never change what I feel towards groups such as AKB or Morning Musume. Can't you see that I am not distinguishing artists based on their music style??? Why I don't respect your beloved girl groups is because they don't have talent, ok so maybe they have nice songs, but that's thanks to the composers. Now I've said my opinion, respect it and i'll respect yours, let's stop the nonsense.
for all of you who haven't watched kara no kyoukai, I think you should. That's the first time that I realize Yuki Kajuira was a wonderful composer, then when the movie ends and 'Oblivious' starts playing for the credits, It's just.. perfect... Later, I watched this live video, man, I almost cried, Yuki & Kalafina are just too good.... :)
if any of you are going to watch them at AX 2011, please record them, and upload it here, so anybody that unable to go there will be able watch too. Thanks so much ^^
yuki kajiura has the best vocalist and she even brings out the best in them. .i wanna see yuki again with kalafina. .hikaru's voice annoys my ears sometimes but i like her when she gets the high parts as back-up.nice harmony for kalafina.such classical like sound is rare nowadays
Thank you for your comments, I also like this live version. For some reason the source deleted the video and it's hard enough to find live performances of Kalafina, so let's spread this one around :)
I saw some of Garden of Sinners today in theatres and the people running decided to play this video before Chapter 7. Thank you for uploading! I like this performance a lot more than the recorded one. :)
This is good, but it never can surpass Asian Kung-Fu Generation, which is the best band4ever.

美しい歌声・・歌っている人達も美しい。
こんなに実力も人気もある歌手がまともにTV歌番組の出演もない有様な日本のTV局は異様。ドラマであろうがアニメであろうが音楽は音楽として同列に扱うべきだ。
アニメ音楽は歌番組の出演も殆ど皆無であり完全な差別扱いが酷い。日本は今、
在日韓国朝鮮人に乗っ取られて、(情報TVメディア・朝鮮民族の民主党政権・経済・新興宗教)日本の劣化コピーでしかない韓国の反日整形くそタレント達が、祖国の日本植民地化計画の下で土足で日本を踏みにじる。そして・・日本の放送局全ては韓国支部となった。
千年中国属国で輝かしい歴史文化の無い朝鮮は全て持つ日本に激しく嫉妬、日本文化の朝鮮起源をねつ造して世界へ流布。TV局も時代劇を止めたのは日本人に侍や茶道、着物など日本文化の伝承させない為に文化を抹殺する必要があった。
又TVは、韓国に不利な報道はせず徹底した日本叩きと情報操作、言論統制も公然と行うようになってきた。日本は中韓の植民地にされるかどうかの瀬戸際にたたされている
。まずは反日TVを支える反日企業の花王やサントリーやライオン不買と政権を元にもどそう。

@yorouful 私はoblivionさんのコメントの「口パクしなくても」の一句にちょっと違和感を覚えました。外国の事情はよく知りませんが、日本ではライブで口パクする歌手はきわめて少数です。下手な歌手でも正直?に下手な歌をお客さんに聞かせています。Kalafinaみたいな上手い人たちが口パクしないのは当然すぎるくらい当然のことです。そういう音楽状況のなかにあって、「口パクしなくても」という表現が頭に浮かんでくる、ということ自体が私には不思議に感じられてなりません。ですから、じつはoblivionさんのこのコメントを初めて読んだときは、口パクが盛んな国の人が日本語で書いたのかなという印象を受けたくらいです。
jinglx 6 months ago
@jinglx はじめに、ライブに限らず生で届ける場所ならどこでも構わない前提で。歌をうたう職業なら歌手もアイドルも構わないことが前提で。 下手な歌手でも正直?に下手な歌をお客さんに聞かせています→Mステ等を参照してください。わかります。
oblivion1124 6 months ago
@oblivion1124 「たいていの歌手の場合、ライブでの歌唱はCDに及ばないものなのに、Kalafinaはそうでないからすごい」というふうにお書きになっていれば私などに文句をつけられることもなかったでしょうに、お気の毒なことでした。あなたの前のコメントを改めて拝読しましたが、Kalafinaを相手にして「口パクしなくても」のひと言は、やはり失礼あるいは不自然ではないかという印象は否めないと感じました。しかし、「口パク」という言葉が、日頃口パク歌手たちに憤りを感じていらっしゃることから出てきたのだろうということは了解いたしました。さてその口パクについてですが、私(もうかなりなおじさんです)はといえば、昔に比べたら口パク(大昔は吹替えと言ってました)って、(テレビの歌番組を含めても)ずいぶん減ったものだなあと感慨を覚えることがしばしばなのです。私が激減したなあと思いつつ見ている同じ現実が、あなたの目には、たくさんいるぞ、ケシカラン、と見えているということなのでしょう。重ねての長文、失礼いたしました。
