Mine would be Vanity, Mezame (<3), Himeboshi, In the land of twilight under the moon (godly harmonising is godly), Zodiacal sign and dream scape. The other discussion I was having with someone about the 4 singers is "Which do you think is the cornerstone of the group, in that if one had to drop out it would ruin the dynamic?". My friends choice was Keiko, as she is the only one who can do the drive those powerful lower notes. My choice was Kaori, as she drives the melody so well. |

My favorite is...actually I like them all. But if I had to choose then Mezame, The Song of Storm and Fire, Dream Scape, Houseki, Zodiacal Sign. See I can't just choose just one. But yeah, I guess my only gripe is the short abrupt background chorus in Song of Storm and Fire but I still like it. By the way I remembered, I didn't like Canta per me, the opening part sung by Yuriko. She used a bit too much of her voice-shaky skill (what do you call that?).
As for which one dropping out ruining the group, then I agree it's definitely Keiko. But if any one of them drop out it would still affect the whole group! They're so good as a group. |

Hell, I dunno. I'm so not a muso. Certainly the one conclusion I've discovered is that even though Kajiura has a very similar formula to nearly all her music, it works so damn well. I'm really looking forward to the third volume. Especially for YUUKA to make an appearance. I always wondered why she was never included in the group stuff, and have since come to the conclusion that while she's very good as a live singer, she simply doesn't have the consistency in her voice as the others do (even though I like her voice a lot more that Yuriko's). |

Yes, vibrato! I know, her style never gets old and I always like it. I hope these few months will go by fast so I can watch her next concert on DVD. I hope it is available at my local Japanese store so I won't have to pay so much.

Favourite vocalists in order would have to be: KAORI, WAKANA, KEIKO, Kaida Yuriko, Itou Eri. YUUKA would be high up there, but unfortunately we have to wait for vol three so we can see if her live performances have improved. Must admit I loved the WAKANA/KEIKO pairing. Their voices just harmonise so brilliantly. Must agree about 'Canta per me'. Kaida used far too much vibrato in the opening parts, and overall it wasn't given the power and depth it really needed to take off. Keiko gets my vote as cornerstone member, for reasons stated earlier: She's the only one that has that deep, powerful voice for the other melody singers to bounce off.

Has anyone mentioned her pretty much first project, in the Kimagure Orange Road : Summer's Beginning Movie? Epic OST, includes my favorite track, "Kyosuke N.1"
Though throughout all her works, it is really tough to pick only one. She has produced some magnificent music. |

Sadly it's not just the sample quality. Seems Kajiura really wanted to make Kaori (especially) sound like she was singing in a carpeted box for the majority of the album. :\
Also noted offences against Yuuka and Keiko. Wakana seems to have come out of it unscathed. Wonder what the others did to make Kajiura hate them? ::Sigh:: Anyway, on to the favourites list: Track 1 (Hoshikuzu) Track 2 (Kioku no mori) Track 4 (Gin no hashi) Track 8 (Hanamori no Oka) Track 14 (Michiyuki) All deserve much love. The new composition for El Cazador Amor was great, only problem was Yuuka's voice. No reverb is not flattering... to anyone. |

KALAFINA- Natsu no Ringo
The romaji lyrics and translation for "Natsu no Ringo" from Kalafina.
