Maze - savage genius sample.
Blog posts. http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/ph/blog/blog.html

Parallel Hearts is so typical up-beat song like other Animu OP style. -__-
Well I hope the full version will impress me moar. (Or I’m too used with Kalafina music D: )
While Maze is yea- another up-beat song just like how ’savage genius’ has been. I didn’t expect too much from them tho lol. But they did a nice ED coverup.

They used this casual dress since Everlasting Songs’ photo session. Wonder why they didn’t change or use other clothes. ;A;

From the PV Shot. Can’t wait to see it. All 4 girls in casual dress (Very much different compare to Keiko&Wakana (Kalafina) dress. :3 Let’s see how the PV will be like. I hope the director didn’t ruin these 4 girls and my megami Yuki~

Tracklist for Parallel Hearts single:
01. Parallel Hearts
02. ひとみのちから (Hitomi no Chikara)
03. Parallel Hearts ～Instrumental～
04. ひとみのちから ～Instrumental～

It’s out! Fuck yeah, It’s out! It’s so epic over 9000! Yeah. It’s moar epic than Sprinter or Fairytale PV.
So well, at the midst of tonight, I went to CPM (Best Board for Kajifag lol XD) and then saw elcazador and grunty posted some links which is LACRIMOSA PV OHSHI-

It’s 40+MB. I tried to use the link then download it using downloader and thank God, it worked. I stopped browsing and went invisible at YM lol so it won’t be corrupted. And yes- it’s finally done with this stupid-slowpoke-connection-as-usual-from-speedy. I go “WOOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOoooOOOW” when seeing the PV. Goddamnit, it’s so great and gorgeous and fabulous over 9000 (again!). Wakana’s big faces are everywhere haha. And Keiko -the dancing widow- is dancing in the PV (finally Keiko.. you can nao freely dance when Lacrimosa’ live concert XD) also Hikaru, she looks so beautiful here (sorry for not noticing it earlier Hikaru.. it’s just that my fanatic-rate to you is lower than my fanatic-rate to Wakana and Keiko ;A;). Also, there are some parts (burning paper or watsoever) which similar to Kuroshitsuji new OP’s animation. Well since it’s Kuroshitsuji ED theme, I guess, they put it so Kuroshitsuji-fags will easily notice it.

tl;dr here’s some screenies (resized+curved). : >

If you want to download the PV+comment, here.

So kay. Few days ago I said in my previous post that I will tell my thoughts about this awesome album. Well here you go.

M1: 星屑
Vocal: KEIKO / KAORI
Chorus: YURIKO KAIDA / WAKANA / KEIKO / YUKI KAJIURA
Original Version by 小川典子 (The Velveteen Rabbit -Fantasy Sound & Reading)
Comments: As an opening song for the entire album, this one is “very decent”. Loev the intro (first 1min), also KEIKOxKAORI’s voices fit each other. The violin and the chorus win btw. I would say this one is better than the original one.
M2: 記憶の森
Vocal: YUUKA
Chorus: KAORI / KEIKO / YURIKO KAIDA / YUKI KAJIURA
Original Version by -
Comments: Fuck yeah YUUKA! This is the ONLY new single on ES cmiiw. 「記憶の森」 will be the ending theme of Tsubasa Chronicle: Shunraiki. Up-beat tempo (IMO similar to I’m Here - Destination).

M3: dream scape
Vocal: KAORI
Chorus: YURIKO KAIDA
Original Version by FictionJunction KAORI (Tsubasa Chronicle)
Comments: Nothing special. really.

M4: 銀の橋
Vocal: WAKANA / KEIKO / KAORI
Chorus: YURIKO KAIDA
Original Version by 南央美 (Aquarian Age SPHERE 4:Influential E.G.O.)
Comments: Stronger vocals by combining these amazing 3 girls made this one win. ;P Yuki’s Angels movie everyone? lolsorandum.

M5: 風の街へ
Vocal: KEIKO
Chorus: YURIKO KAIDA
Original Version by FictionJunction KEIKO (Tsubasa Chronicle)
Comments: Sounds same than the original one. - -”

M6: here we stand in the morning dew
Vocal: YURIKO KAIDA
Chorus: KAORI / WAKANA / KEIKO
Original Version by 千葉 紗子
Comments: Yay FictionJunction YURIKO KAIDA finally lol. I -personally- loevs this song of YURIKO. One of my favorite songs in ES. Loev the arrangements. (Hail YUKI! Hail YUKI!) No srsly, I think I just fell in loev with her as FJ vocalist by this song.

M7: synchronicity
Vocal: KEIKO
Chorus: KAORI / YUKI KAJIURA
Original Version by 牧野由依 (Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations)
Comments: FUCKING WIN SONG IN ES OVER9000!!!!1! Must say, KEIKO’S VERSION IS BETTER THAN YUI’S VERSION. (Sorry for those who prefer YUI version but KEIKO just made a better version with this one. :)) New arrangements, also.. fucking win up-beat and will make you dance tempo. I hope there’ll be a PV for this one. HAHA. Since KEIKO is so energetic, she’s probably will jump and dance a lot on this video (as if there’ll be PV tho lol).

M8: 花守の丘
Vocal: KAORI
Chorus: YURIKO KAIDA
Original Version by FictionJunction KAORI
Comments: Better quality than the rip version which I had here lol. Nothing different.

M9: 水の証
Vocal: WAKANA
Chorus: -
Original Version by 田中理恵 (Gundam SEED)
Comments: Moar mellowloveydoveyronery version from WAKANA. Remember Where the Lights are? Yes- It will make you feel sleepy not because this song is boring but because the accoustic piano plus WAKANA’s ballad voice. Don’t know why- I feel so ronery when hearing this song. Deep song indeed lolol. I couldn’t chose between Rie Tanaka’s version than this one. ;daw;

M10: cazador del amor

Original Version by 久川綾 (Noir)
Comments: Plus points for the chorus.

M12: 宝石
Vocal: KEIKO
Chorus: KAORI / WAKANA / YURIKO KAIDA
Original Version by 井上麻里奈 (Le Portrait de Petite Cossette)
Comments: The most controversial song on ES indeed. Haha. Some said Marina’s version is better than this one, or the KEIKO’s live version from Yuki Kajiura Live#vol.3 is better. Well from my pov, KEIKO did a great job for Houseki. (Keikofag here) But then.. I admitted that she missed some notes but it’s awwrite. Loev MARINA and KEIKO’s Houseki.

M13: ユメノツバサ
Vocal: KAORI
Chorus: KEIKO / WAKANA / YURIKO KAIDA
Original Version by 牧野由依 (Tsubasa Chronicle)
Comments: Better better better than Yui’s version. Sorry again Yui, but KAORI also made this better than yours. If I have to choose, I would prefer Kaori’s English version.

M14: みちゆき
Vocal: KAORI
Chorus: YURIKO KAIDA / YUKI KAJIURA

Comments: Err.. approved. Two Kaoris at once haha. But tbh, I prefer 引田香織’s version.

Vocal: ASUKA
Chorus: YURIKO KAIDA
Original Version by FictionJunction ASUKA (Elemental Gelade)
Comments: ASUKA, where are you? ;_; This is the same version with the previous one. -___- I need moar ASUKA’s songs.

Did you see it coming lol?

Kopipe from this sauce.

According to a mysterious source on 2ch, the opening theme for the Pandora Hearts anime will be titled Parallel Hearts, and performed by FictionJunction. It’s unusual to have “FictionJunction” without a specific vocalist following, so we’ll have to wait and see what that’s all about :). My hope is that it’s Yuki singing alone but I don’t think that’s very likely to happen ^^;. As announced earlier, Yuki Kajiura will also be composing the soundtrack for Pandora Hearts.

Title: Parallel Hearts (Single)
Vocalist: FictionJunction
Catalog Number: VTCL-35065
Release: April 29, 2009
MSRP: 1100 JPY

Oh ye. Pandora Hearts - Parallel Hearts. That makes sense with the “Hearts” thingy lol so randum. Anyway, looking forward for this one. Hope soon there’ll be 15-30sec sample. Can’t wait for MAI APRIL. For nao, lemme enjoy 「Everlasting Songs」 album. Gonna post my thoughts about this album later.

So there’s a new website for Yuki Kajiura’s FictionJunction 『Everlasting Songs』 Project. You can check it out here. Simple but with those beautiful girls, that’s just fappablelovable. :3 Esp. mai KEIKO, KAORI and YUUKA.

Actual Size

YUKI KAJIURA X YUUKA
FictionJunction 第一位vocalist是YUUKA，也是第一個Project，所以YUUKA就等於”長女”的存存。梶浦：「從一開始就打算了要讓YUUKA唱 Album中收錄的新歌『記憶の森』。YUUKA是一個很有存在感和表現力的人，而且也很有表演欲。」

YUKI KAJIURA X KAORI
對 於梶浦來說KAORI是一個讓她尊敬的Musician。梶浦：「當別人問到『對於一位vocalist重要的東西是什麼?』時，我毫無疑惑地回答了『技 巧』。雖然也有不少人回答『心意』，但如果要好好地表達自己的心意，技術是不能缺乏的。而KAORI則具有這樣的技術。無論是什麼韻律的歌都可以以 KAORI自己的特色去唱出。」

YUKI KAJIURA X KEIKO
從 外表看起來有白白的皮膚而且苗條的身材。但這樣的KEIKO卻擁有一把低音的聲線、而且十分擅長摇滚樂曲。梶浦：「在女性之中可以發中那樣優美的中低音是 很少見的。至現時為止自己比較少寫中低音vocal的歌，但想到KEIKO也可能會唱的關係，最近增加了寫那類型的歌曲。我對她提出過很多不同的請求，可 是反過來卻被她的魅力困住了（笑）。是一位讓我發現了很多新事物的歌手。」

YUKI KAJIURA X WAKANA
梶浦：「很喜歡她的聲音。已經喜歡得無法自拔了」從12歲就開始學習聲學的WAKANA。梶浦：「那種聲音，嚴重地犯規了（笑）。」很有味道、很有色彩的聲音，感覺上很喜歡。聽起來有點傷悲傷的聲線，很適合擁有悲傷旋律的歌曲」

YUKI KAJIURA X YURIKO KAIDA
梶浦：「沒有不擅長的東西。沒有任何弱點。真真正正的Professional。YURIKO：「一直都是和音比較多，跟大家想像中的聲音可能會不一樣。希望大家可以用心聽聽自己的另外一面。」

Everlasting Songs：
● 『synchronicity』不單是arrange，而是完全變成了一首新曲。 (vocal: KEIKO)
● 『水の証』– 在piano跟cello的演奏下，一發收錄。 (vocal: WAKANA)
● KAORI在新Album中担當了8首vocal。
● Album的封面表現了梶浦跟歌姬們的關係。
● 『here we stand in the morning dew』、『秘密』的Main Vocal由YURIKO担當。
