I checked this out when Ange/Farrah (froghaterk) first asked me to look at it, and I ended up listening to it over and over again. Cause it's GORGEOUS!! I don't knows tons by Kalafina, but they have some pretty incredible songs. I am so digging the melodies and all the overlapping parts in this. Plus I have to say that the girls' outfits are eyecandy and so go with this style of song.

Oh frick, this dub gives me tingles. In such a delicious way. I'm listening to it right now as I blabber on to y'all. It's the kind of dub that moves you. Seriously. I want to take all the crazy amazing dubs I hear and broadcast them to the world so that they can share in the squiggles of warmth and sappy happiness that I feel when listening.



Ange, Yumiko, Rosetta
Fuyumi, Bakapai, Aiko

Sprinter by Onna Be / I don't even know where to begin. I already know that I don't have a wide enough vocab to say how much I truly love this. Ohcrap more tingles. LOL I have this up so loud my ears are drowning in it's awesomeness. The beginning is a little softer in volume and then BAM the extremely EPIC chorus hits and it's a bit louder, actually the whole dub is a bit louder than the beginning, but it's not a bad thing at all.

*bows repeatedly* Thank you Ange for the CClyrics!! It makes me so happy that I can actually know who to praise and admire. Yumiko starts off, literally; her "kimi" is a capella -which I love- and her light vibrato at the end of her solo is lovely! Rosetta follows right after; she has a rich mature sound that's so ear pleasing. 0:09 is Fuyumi, who has such a pretty voice; her solo is smooth and flows well.

Bakapai's "sore wa" at 0:14 is strong and I like the echo, and Aiko's "tatta" is enchanting with smexy undertones. 0:22 is the first duet of the song by Ro/Yu, and it's exquisite. Blendingraburabu. OHMY the blending is even better when everyone sings together, like in the first chorus at 0:27. BEAUTIFUL!! I really really really hate admitting that I cry over dubs sometimes, cause I feel so lame...but I honestly do. I just get so moved. But yeah...Anyways!!

Back to the chorus; it's indescribably beautiful. I LOVE it. 0:33 is Yumiko; her "kute" is so mega pretty. Following's Fuyumi's lovely 0:46 solo, she duets with Ange at the end of the chorus, and it's breathtaking. Just one word; "Dakishimeta" ~ but it's been one of my favorites in this dub since my first time listening because of how fabulous it is.

Ange has these little, er- they aren't echoes, but they are echo like. She comes in at the very end -often on the last word of- the previous group lines. Her solos are only one to two words, but each syllable has it's own note, and they are sung at a semi-slow pace. She sounds amazing! 0:52 is BakaPai, and GOSH I love her, she sounds fantastic! I like her a lot on the faster melody and she sings it well. The music seems to be a little loud on this section of the dub, or it seems so to me.

Next is Aiko, and I like her "Sore dake ni" a lot! During her solo (at about 1:01), Rosetta comes in with her GORGEOUS "Kimi ni todoku" ~ she sings it so strongly and sounds outstanding! During her solo, as Aiko finishes Yumiko starts. I adore the overlapping. I love Yumiko's "amasa" so much, and also her "Sekai no hate made" ~ I love how her last word blends in with the following group line. The chorus is just as EPIC the second time around. Lovelovelove.

I adore the melody starting at 1:48, Ange has the first line of it and she sounds spectacular. Even more so, because the harmonies are great and I was wondering who did them, then I remembered reading that Ange did all the harmonies!! So 1:48 is her singing with herself, and it's beautiful, especially her "hontou ga" ~ 1:52 is Rosetta, who is mind blowing on her "Afuredasu hodo tsumatte itanda" ~ her high notes ('dasu hodo').

2:03 confused me a bit at first, but I went over the lyrics a time or two and figured it out. As Rosetta finishes her solo, BakaPai comes in on the start of her solo ("Hikari no"), and on the second word Ange comes in on her solo as well ("Kiete"). I like Baka's "haya sa de" a lot, and Ange's "kibou he" too. And then while Baka is still singing, Rosette has another small solo at 2:10. Then her and Baka duet together and it's brilliant. 2:24 "SPRINTER" !!

I kept feeling like I wasn't talking about Fuyumi enough, but at 2:27ish she has a rather good sized solo and it's terrific!! I like the echoes on "Kimi no inai" and she sounds great when Ange joins in with her. My fave from her is 2:59 "Sekai no hate made" ~ so so so lovely. Especially her held out 'de' ~ 3:04 to 3:26 is all lovely An/Ro, and then more chorus! And it's not only the chorus, it's the same melody that just occured in the duet overlapping with the chorus!! It's beyond beautiful.

3:58 is Aiko, her "ratte" is nice. Yumiko follows, sounding as pretty as ever, and Aiko has the quieter overlapping "I'm calling your name." 4:10ish is BakaPai, ohemgee I love love her solo!! 4:15 is another awesome solo by Fuyumi, followed by Rosetta who sounds beautiful. And then after the last two lines -by Ange and An/Ai- it's the end! Bah, I keep saying gorgeous, pretty, lovely and beautiful (etc) and those are the best words for this!! MIND BLOWINGLY EPIC.

Listen to this NAO. Please.
