It's After Eden in the 2nd thead of Kalafina!

[Zahara]

I'm enjoying what everybody else has written on this page, very interesting things.

For me, prior to their fourth album, the only way I could tell the difference between FJ and Kalafina was Kalafina was...darker and magical, less poppy in some ways, heavier in sound. FJ was more varied and got you moving, especially during concerts, also tended to be more rock focused.

Now the only way I can tell between the two is Kalafina's B-sides sound more like the older sounds, and KJ now tends to use Kaori more often.

The song is groing on me, and the MV looks lovely.

[Ashen Twilight]

Yay!!

[Ashen Twilight]

That is actually why I like Samidare ga Sugita Koro ni. It doesn't really sound like anything they have done before which I like. I agree with Mahiru. This single seems like it will be my favorite of the era!

[mellody]

I have to say that One Light single is really growing on me.

To be honest, I'm quite disappointed with ring your bell, all the tracks on that single are very underwhelming for me, which makes me 'tired' of Kalafina, but hey, again I say, One Light is really growing on me, especially that Samidare ga Sugita Koro ni, kinda reminds me to Hikari no Senritsu and neverending but really, that sounds so Kalafina for me.

And lol at heavenly blue in the new album.

[Zahara]

I get the feeling that I'm not going to like the album as much as their previous ones, but I'm glad Wakana sounds great in the new single.

[Yoake]

One Light is the best song of the single even if it reminds me different Yuki Kajiura's compositions. Mahiru is a nice song but they already have this kind of ballad in their discography and it haven't a big impact on me. About Samidare ga Sugita Koro ni, I think that only the melody is Kajiura' style. The arrangement isn't and is quite basic, generic and repetitive. Maybe this song would be better in live but the studio version doens't convey any strong feeling.

I think Samidare ga Sugita Koro ni is meant to be like that.

It might sounds generic and repetitive to some people but this song seems like a reminiscent to some old 80's JPop songs and somewhat enka-like as well. But because of that, I think it conveys a strong feeling, why? The lyrics, it's a bittersweet song.

Several pieces of Kajiura works, like Hanako to Anne soundtracks, her Fiction II album, some of Rekishi Hiwa Historia music are somewhat back to basic for me, she brings back some classic sounds flavored by some folk elements, which is something that I can relate to Samidare ga Sugita Koro ni.

I'm a fan of classic sounds and folk genre, probably that's why I love this song a lot.
Well, it's just my opinion.

Also, Mahiru is just another lirica, Gloria, lapis, or those B-sides for me, that's why I'm not really into it.

There is an article on Barks about the little concert Aoi Eir x Kalafina :

The covers remind me a bit moonfesta but at the same time, they're quite different from what we got previously. Only the dvd evoke the water of the title. This one and the cd version are my favourite.
