Kalafina Fate/Zero S2 theme "to the beginning" short snippet


(note - embedded video is disabled by request on this video... but you can still view it on youtube through the link)

Another short post for now... am hoping to sleep early tonight... have been quite tired recently... think I am a bit sleep deprived right now. :(

BUT... I really wanted to write about this.  A short 2:45 minute clip was posted online yesterday.  This clip is from either the programme itself or a promo for the programme (?) called "New World Music".  Whatever the case, what is of interest to us Kajiura Yuki and Kalafina fans is the music. :)

Kalafina sings a capella at the opening and ending of the clip and it's SUGOI!!!!! They open with the first part of "storia" and they sound perfect to me and look so happy singing it, it makes me want to sing along.  They end with what I think is the "New World Music" theme song maybe?  It all sounds so good a capella.

And the best part about this clip is that at approx 1:23, there is a little snippet of "to the beginning".  This recording is from the Shibuya concert on the 4th of this month  The audio is pretty low and you can't really hear the instruments especially with the VO overlay-ed on top of the music but it's still better than nothing. I can't really tell very much from the snippet but it sounds kind of epic and probably quite fitting for season 2 of the Fate/Zero anime.  This portion of the song seems to favour Wakana and I can hear Keiko quite clearly in the background but can't really hear Hikaru too well but both seem to be singing in support of Wakana at this portion of the song.

I really can't wait for the single to be released.  I've already pre-ordered the Limited Edition First Press version with the blu-ray disc as well as the Limited Edition Anime edition. :)

K.... now... I am going to prepare for bed. :)  Good night.
