Please!

KireinoBijoux's Furare Pattern (by Shiny Sapphires) will always have a special place among my affections, along with my other favorite dubs. Cause it's just so awesome. It's the second track on my current playlist (underneath HimeLand's Doki Doki Sister Soul). But I have only listened to maybe one or two other dubs by the project, so I figured I'd hear something else.

One of the reasons I like concert versions is because B-sides and tracks off albums don't have MVs, so they aren't often heard as much. Watching a concert dub means that I either discover a new song, or I get a different version than the same ol' same ol' MV. When I looked at what KireinoBijoux had for recent releases, I was immediately drawn to this next concert dub, because I don't know the song.

Please! Jiyuu no Tobira by Dazzling Diamonds / For some reason I had to turn my computer volume way up when listening to this. Was it mixed too quietly? Am I the only one who thinks it's quiet? Cause if I played something else on my computer right now, I'd go deaf from the volume I have my comp set at. Anyways, this is fantastic!! The song isn't amazing, but very peppy. The kind of song that grows on you as you listen.

There are a lot of duets, some other smaller groups, and only about a dozen solos. At first I didn't get what they were saying, then I saw the lyrics and it's "Please be freedom" lol. The first two solos of the song (0:14 & 0:19) are smashing!! Eririn has awesome vocals; lovely sounding and strongly delivered. The first set of duets are Am/Fu (0:30), Co/Pa (0:35), Me/Mi (0:40), and Ja/My (0:45).

If I were to try and talk about them each individually, I'd run out of words, or repeat myself- because all of them are spectacular! The blending is the best thing about this dub, it's brilliant! Also there is a fabulous level of energy! This cast really works together! After another epic solo from Eririn, it's Coco at 0:56- she is soooo sweet! Ohmygosh, Me/Am's "Kawaritai" at 1:01 is incredible!!

The chorus that follows is by two groups that stay the same throughout the dub, so I'm naming them~ Group1 is 1:02 (Er, Co, Ja, My) and Group2 is 1:09ish (Me, Am, Fu, Mi, Pa). Yay more blending! I wish G1's volume was louder; there are four girls singing, but they're too quiet as a group. I love G2, though one girl sort of sounds at the forefront for me. Overall they all sound splendid!! 1:13 is more pure win by Eririn.

Uwah, Ameimi is marvelous! She solos at 1:26 & 1:31 and sounds very cute! The duet pairs change in the second verse, it's Er/Fu at 1:42, followed by Me/Pa- both pairs sound super! 1:52 is Co/Mi and they're so adorable!!! The only pair that doesn't change is the last one, Ja/My at 1:57. 2:08 is Memoire and she sounds outstanding!

At 2:14ish it's more rockin' chorus, G2 on the first two lines and G1 on the last two. Ameimi solos again at 2:26, and it's just as awesome as her others. At times the loudness of some of her notes compared to the rest of the girls makes me wince; she sounds good! just loud. Maybe her part could have been mixed at a semi-quieter volume, so as to not stand out so much.

As usual with the majority of concert version, the second to last part of the song is cut out, jumping right to the last bit. Which is more "Please be freedom"s etc starting at 2:37. Inbetween the group parts are solos by Eririn and Ameimi, all of which are sensational! This is a really good dub!! I'm not in love with the song, but it's definitely a fun one and this dub is a pleasant listen.
