Fairy Aria <CLOSED>

January 1, 2009 – January 2, 2009

I got the DVD a few days ago, but I finished the watching till today >_<. I went crazy. I re-watched (without any skips) the live two times again in the same day. I got many, many things want to say. I adore YUKI KAJIURA, and I decide, in my next world (if it is still me), I will study music and become a singer under GODDESS YUKI KAJIURA’s holy halo~ So, YUKI KAJIURA, please still be a composer in your next world!

One benefit of blogging is that you can share your own news, ideas, feelings… etc. with others at the very time; reading others’ blogs is definitely enough good either, especially when they are whom you admire.

On November 19 and 20, two big bangs burst out from Yuki Kajiura’s blog. On December 24, 2008, Xmas Eve, Kalafina’s new single CD, “fairytale,” will be released! On February 25, 2009, a new FictionJunction album will be released, pluses with many new tracks! Project FJ~~~ How fascinating they are! Kalafina, YUUKA, KEIKO, KAORI, ASUKA, WAKANA, YURIKO KAIDA… the new FJ album must be a good selection for all new comers of FictionJunction, or also a good belated birthday present for me! (oops! I’ve to pay for it, don’t I?)

The past two months were rather dull to me, but not to people who went to Yuki’s lives. The most recent album of Yuki was an original soundtrack, “Achilles and the Turtle.” Not bad, but I prefer to soundtracks from “Kara no Kyokai, Garden of Sinner.” And the two bangs blasted onto me, I was recharged up to full energy!

Talk about my goddess now. Although I have the experience of singing at a chorus, I never have any ideas how many chorus tracks a song uses. In Yuki’s recent posts, one her coworkers, Mrs./Mr. K, tried to suggest composing a song without any chorus track. Guess what did Yuki say? “No, ‘cos I’ve accustomed to use enough chorus tracks.”

Interesting, huh? In that post, Yuki confessed that there are often more than 50 tracks of chorus in a song; in case of Kalafina-songs, the number usually increases to 60-80 (or more, I can’t remember very clearly). Sure, chorus-free songs, like FJY’s “June is your eternity, from ‘circus’” exist, but they’re few. There’re more songs include so many chorus tracks that no one can’t lose in counting. Maybe songs like “Together, ‘destination’” have only a few such tracks, Heaven knows!

Today is a day with rain and tiny coldness. I fetched this CD accidentally.
That was “noir WHITE IN BLACK Vocal Song Collection.”
Thus, I heard See-Saw’s “love.”
It’s so long since last time I listened to See-Saw…
“love” is in my top 5 of See-Saw. I just like it no matter how much times I hear it.
And especially in such a rainy day; I get the song with more affection.
With the melody, early autumn rain rises in mind. Fine and coldly, gradually, vision becomes vague, and fade into pale…you chill even with hands bracing the arms…the back yard where nobody is…just few people in the street, cars pass away rapidly, with water splashes up…the air is very clear, and…also, memories turn to clear…
…it seemed that I used to listened “love” in rainy days. Well, there is another song, “Emu.Moa.” It is also fit with rain, though in its case, the ambience is shift to a gloom bar: the dim light, the bright crimson wine, the goblet which reflects the mild light, coldly, and “Emu.Moa” with melancholy violin…
Is it the best heaven of rain songs?
It not because the habit of attaching ambiance to any piece of melody, I, however, just enjoy doing it.
And I’m very entranced with it.



今日は朝から雨の降り続け、ちょっと寒い日です。気がつかずに、私はこのCDを取った。
「noir 黒の中の白　Vocal Song Collection」だった。
それで、See-Sawの「love」を聞いた。
See-Sawの歌を聞くのはお久しぶり…
「love」はSee-Sawの全部の歌より、私のトップ5に入れる一曲です。何度も聞いても大好きです。
とっくに今日のように雨の日に、この歌はより愛しく味わえる。
歌と共に、浮かびだしたのは、早秋の雨模様だった。細くて冷たくて、視界はだんだんぼんやりとなって、青白に色褪せた…手で腕を抱えても寒くて…無人の裏庭…街に人が少なくて、車が急いで通り過ぎて、水溜りを跳ね返らせる…空気がすごくきれいになる…記憶も、きれいになる…
…確か「love」を聞く場合は、雨の降る頃ばかり。で、CDよりもう一曲、「エム・モア」がある。この歌も雨とばっちり似合ってる。でも、今度の雰囲気がある夕方のバーに切り換える。暗い灯りの下、赤く鮮やかなワイン、あったかな光を冷たく反射してるゴブレット、憂鬱のバイオリンの「エム・モア」…
雨歌の最高境界じゃない？
歌や音楽に一つ一つ雰囲気を付いてあげるって癖のわけじゃない、私はただ、こんなことがとても好きで、
とってもうっとりしている。
