Consolation

I'm a huge fan of anything that Yuki Kajiura touches, and Kalafina is no exception. Every one of their albums to date have been absolutely beautiful with a talented blending of styles, eras, and harmonies. "Consolation", their fourth album, demonstrates their signature style with some new and beautiful twists. "Moonfesta" follows a clearly medieval influence, and fans of Madoka will love the re-imagining of Mami's theme in "Mirai". The album also includes "To the Beginning", the fast-paced opening theme of the second season of Fate/Zero.If you're a previous fan of Kalafina, then you definitely need this album in your collection. If you like Yuki Kajiura or any of her other projects (FICTION JUNCTION, See-Saw, or her soundtracks) then you will also love Kalafina's "Consolation".

I really like Kalafina. I only speak a few words of Japanese, so I can't speak well for the poetry or lyrics, but I have found the melodies and voices enchanting and/or invigorating in their previous works. Consolation isn't bad, but it is rather dry compared to their previous offerings.I would HIGHLY recommend Seventh Heaven or Red Moon. If you like those, Consolation can be added to the collection later. I would not introduce someone to the group with this album.

This album should have some song which can be shown on Youtube so that I can sing with hiragana lyrics. Because it is very difficult to sing from Kanji

Fantastic album! Not better than Red Moon, but that’s an opinion, not a fact. If you are a fan of Kalafina, I strongly recommend adding this album to your collection.

I've been a fan of Kalafina from the start, and "Consolation" does not disappoint! My favorites are "Consolation" and "Signal."

I say this as a fan of kalafina, but this is yet another solid album. All the tracks are enjoyable. For those who watch anime like fate/zero and madoka magica, you will catch a few familiar songs.

great all around

As expected from Kalafina and Kajiura Yuki. A very good album. Must buy for any Kalafina or Kajiura Yuki fan. Though one can only wonder why After Eden is not available in MP3.

Anyone who likes this kind of music (so, Japanese and anime in one :D) will love it. It's lively, sometimes sad, but all in all - great piece of modern music. I put it into my Alfa Romeo to hear those great voice when I drive. It fits the car :D

Questo é il quarto album delle Kalafina, trio vocale giapponese nato inizialmente solo per eseguire le sigle di una serie di film di animazione e successivamente diventato un gruppo di discreto successo in patria che sforna veri e propri album. L'articolo é il Cd nella versione per il mercato coreano, che si differenzia dal CD per il mercato giapponese solo per l'aggiunta di un booklet supplementare con la traduzione in coreano (per noi europei ininfluente). Qui non viene raggiunta la stessa densità di brani veramente coinvolgenti che si trovava per esempio nel primo album, ma motivi degni di essere ascoltati e riascoltati non mancano. Il genere é sempre J-pop gotico con venature di operistica, come per i lavori precedenti, che come risultato finale da origine a una musica quasi onirica e d'atmosfera. Sempre meravigliose le loro voci.

Arrived on time, safe and sound ~ ♡

ベストアルバムがいいというかたもおられるが、私はいわゆるアニメなどでしられた曲以外のモノも一緒に入ったアルバムを好む。あくまで一冊の本のように作者の意図があるから、曲の順番にも伝えたい事があり、それとともに歌詞カードを添えているのだから　目で見て、耳で感じる。そのことが大事だなと感じた。満天では空が墜ちたという表現があり、それをどういう情景なのか、これは誰のことを表現したかったのかなどじっくり考えると、耳から聞こえてくる音が一つの絵を作り上げてゆく。作者は絵画での表現もすばらしいのだろう。
