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

[Chiharo]

^ If you like Shikata, then you should probably try out all Kalafina songs (well, as much as you can manage!) "just to be safe". Most of their songs are incredible anyway, and more will remind you of Shikata, too.

The closest to fairytale I can think of right now are:

Hikari Furu
snow falling
lapis

fairytale is one of their more unique songs seeing as they are quite experimental (or at least, were) in their sound.

[Surreal17]

Thank you for your fast replay. fairytale is magic, and that last minute just accentuates this feeling.

[Chiharo]

You're welcome! And I completely agree with you on fairytale.

[mellody]

Do you happen to like anime? Because the composer behind Kalafina did a lot of job to some popular shows.

I like Shikata as well, so Kalafina should be in the same vein with your preference. Just try one of their album, you should be blown away.

Other than the songs that Chiharo mentioned, I can only think of those:
ARIA
Kagayaku Sora no Shijima ni wa
seventh heaven

[Surreal17]

Yeah, I love anime XD
I still have fairytale on replay, and I.ll try the songs you mentioned.

[Chiharo]

Is that alan? lol

[adantatu2]

Wrong thread boy, hahaha, but she is pretty.

[mellody]

Did you guys know that Kalafina is going to perform in Mexico?

[adantatu2]

^NO. Omg, I didn't know it. I read your comment and then I looked for more info.
I wanna go but it's expensive >_< and isn't in my city, damn, I hope I can have a Christmas' miracle, lol.
If any of you is from Mexico too, here you can buy the tickets, it's in February.

[Aderianu]

sorry xDDD

[mellody]

^ lol, how come you've mistaken this thread with alan's thread XD

The news was from several days ago though from Kalafina's LINE (now they are shifting their blog there too) and I was like... WOW? And yet quite wondering why Mexico but it's awesome though!

Imagine those girls speaking in... Spanish

[Aderianu]

^ I was looking for thread with arrow at the envelope xD

wonder why japanese artists so popular at the Latin America...

[adantatu2]

Visual-kei bands, lolita girls, anime's music are really popular in many countries, and K-pop is getting very big (especially boybands)

Music Fair. Magia and Far on the water. Kalafina part around 14:50 with the talk

Just finished listening to "Seventh Heaven" by Kalafina. Prior to this, I've listened to the "fairytale" single which I love, so I thought to give more attention to these girls.
I'm amazed at how beautiful this album is.
Wow, the chorus of Ongaku is like an electro slower paced chorus of talkin 2 myself by ayu. Anyone else noticed this? They even say "Bokutachi wa" at the exact time as ayu at one moment Q_Q
I can't choose a favourite, so many great songs here. And i really appreciate the use of multiple woodwind instruments, it creates a fantasy atmosphere.

Also, the last song resembles a lot another ballad from the album, but I can't put my hands on it since everything is new to me.

I'm entering my sixth year in jpop in a few months and I can't believe I didn't check them out earlier.

[mellody]

So glad that you enjoyed Kalafina a lot!

I didn't notice what you said about Ongaku and talkin' 2 myself, now I can't unhear it anymore XD

So, have you tried all of their albums? I think you need to hear some B-sides too.

[Surreal17]

No, this is actually the first album that I listen from Kalafina
Today, I replayed a lot "Natsu no ringo" and "Love come down". After listening to "fairytale" only for a long time, I thought that they only have slow stuff, so I was surprised when the electro "Love come down" came in : ))))

[mellody]

I see. Well, I really hope you will try to listen to their discography, more surprises coming!

Anyway, some quick news.
Kalafina 8th Anniv. Sp. products – The Live Album「Kalafina LIVE TOUR 2014」 is released today!

[Yoake]

Kalafina sings with Shinji Tanimura the song Alzira no hoshi.

[Surreal17]

Definitely listening to more stuff. Too bad that this thread is practically dead. This happening with most artists I like.
