Upon vocalizing...

感情: slight headache
音楽: "Jewel of Kiss" - Hitomi Shimatani

...I got the chance to do a rendition of one of my fave Kalafina songs. xD It's a good thing it's a piano ballad that's why when I "cleaned" it using Audacity, the quality of the song was not very much affected. I practiced since I'll be participating to the I’ve Sound Blog First Annual Karaoke Competition.

It's entitled "Gloria", the coupling song of their 4th single Lacrimosa. I know my singing voice is compared to a zombie so I'll be saying that listen at your own risk. xD But definitely, a product of hard work although my vocals need more practice. And as for my official entry for the said competition, you'll learn soon enough but Aibu already know what I'm singing. xD Although I'm not really sure if everyone's gonna like it because Aibu himself told me that it's not his personal favorite though. Oh well, this is just for fun and I cannot force myself to sing something I can't. xD *bricked*

But as a hint, I'm not singing any rock music. Because my voice is limited to that of a midtempo to slow ballad. xD Sorry if my vocals aren't very interesting but yeah, that's how it's supposed to be. -_-a

Kalafina addiction - ON-GOING! XD

感情: uberly spazzing over Kalafina!
音楽: "oblivious" - Kalafina


Sorry for the long absence. As you can see, I'm quite over busy lately with job application and my new blog layout (which will be finished very soon!) and with other graphical projects. XD But setting those aside, I'm moderately fine tonight because I'M UBERLY EXCITED W/ STORIA!! Not the single but the Oricon daily debut and guess what? It debuts at #10!! :DD Well if you ask me, they quite deserve the position because storia is a very different single from their previous ones. It has a tribal, provincial-aura plus the heavenly voice of our dearest Wakana, Keiko (my crush!! =D) and Hikaru. But composer Yuki Kajiura made a second attempt to neo-classical flavor with the coupling song lirica. And I just love how Kajiura-san put her effort on making these songs. They're quite lovable! XDD

And when I was just lurking in YouTube, looking for the storia PV, I stumbled upon a live version of oblivious, my Kalafina favorite song. *spazz* My eyes widen when the video started and was even more excited because I saw Hikaru!! Yes! Ever imagined why she's supposed to be not there? Because at the time of Kalafina's debut with the said song, it was only Wakana and Keiko and then I will see Hikaru in this live video?! Now, that's exciting!

I was shocked when I heard that she was the first to sing plus her falsetto effects for the intro choral part was pretty heavenly!! I'm lovin' it!! =D Wakana and Keiko's voices are just like in the original song! Wonderful. XDD They're even greater live than some other J-pop artists that I know!

Take a lookie here. xD



If you want to try the group for the first time (or even not? xD) and ask me for a recommendation on which song to try out first, it's got to be oblivious. xD It's so trancey, ethereal and heavenly all at the same time especially the intro. Want to try the song? Click here.

And here's the PV for storia. I love their outfit here!! xD HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! xD
