thanks to smiley and Kugayama for the news!
That’s very exciting! Those old See-Saw songs are timeless. I grew up listening to the dot hack See-Saw songs. I’m very excited to hear the 2019 versions of obsession, Kioku, Kimi Ga, Emerald Green, and Kimi ga ita Monogatari. I also hope they finally cover Love from Noir, which is a gorgeous song. I hope Yuki adds some new zest to these old classics and re-envisions them a bit. Yuki is a genius at revamping old songs in live concerts.
This is perhaps the biggest benefit of Kalafina breaking up — maybe Yuki has more time to be able to consider doing unique projects like this. Maybe they will even release a new See-Saw album if the concert goes well. Personally I would sell my soul if she created a Fiction 3 and included the Eri Itou song from Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations, but I won’t hold my breath yet. I’ll be happy with what I can get, and a See-Saw reunion is very exciting and long overdue.
Agreed, but the Tokyo Revelations song is better fitted inside a Works for Soundtracks 2 (+ 3, 4) she has a ton of unreleased musics from many anime and from xenosaga and hokuto no ken, so much that there could be a madlax ost 3, xenosaga 2 ost 2 xenosaga 3 ost 2 and 2 other hokuto no ken soundtracks, not counting the stuff from stage musicals that we ve never heard. Even SAO has around 10 unrelease tracks which are really delicious: 2 jazzy, 1 deep piano one, one with guitar, 1 with dubster + violin solo, one with sampled vocals, and some others. Also that chinese movie’s LORD ost is yet to be released
Chiaki Ishikawa is back! OMG I’d love to see them both!
