VIP ticket holders will be able to attend an autograph session with Ms. Yuki Kajiura and the four singers after the concert. No recording of any kind is allowed and will be signed one autograph from each artist per ticket holder.
Note: The concert footage shown in the video is from the “Sing all overtures” event from which the YK part was released in the Sword Art Online Music Collection. In that one Keiko was present, but she was not in the YKLive vol #13 (dedicated to Sao) that she menthions, and Keiko hasnt been announced as a singer for the Hollywood concert either.
EXCITED AND SCREAMING EVEN THOUGH I CAN’T GO XD
But oh my God no Keiko!?!?!? Even though I’m not in charge, I refuse to stand for such blasphemy!!!!!!
I still get so excited to see her face and watch her speak <3
As Kerahna says–I am so stoked! Got my 4th row VIP ticket, and I can barely contain myself! Why complain about what you’re not getting? It’s Kajiura-sensei, performing live in America,and it doesn’t get much cooler than that!!
What a shame I don’t get to go.
But I don’t live in America 🙁 :'(
But, someday, Yuki-san, someday ^_^
And even you <3 Yuriko-san and Wakana-san <3
So in YK Live no.13, was someone an alto stand-in for Keiko? Or did the concert just go without an alto part? I’m not truly complaining as much as I am very confused as to how this specific singing arrangement is actually going to go down. One of the primary reasons any Yuki Kajiura project make up over 80% of my entire music list as a whole is because of her fearlessly heavy use of harmony in most compositions — even when Miss Kaida is given many a piece to do in studio, she is asked to do approximately 3 to 5 ranged parts. Even Kaori probably has a very fair percentage of Keiko’s range, but where would that soprano2/alto1 line go to fill out the song so that the vocals don’t seem like an average harmony mix? (Nothing of YK is average, I’m speaking figuratively!)
No in the Yk vol 13 event as were Kaori Wakana Yuriko and Remi as vocalists and the same will be in the Holywood concert, I guess they find some way to replace her range, or they would take her with them in the holywood one.
Ah. Well I’ll assume Keiko’s range will go to Kaori and possibly Ms. Kaida in rare occasions. Hopefully a DVD is released for this because even with videos of Swordland and She Has To Overcome Her Fear on YouTube, it’s probably not a true representation of a song WITH Remi AND without Keiko.
