It is insane that no one gives credit to Kajiura Yuki, who single-handedly compose all the ost for fate zero as well as compose AND write the lyrics for this Godly song. Honestly, I think the singers are great, but to write and compose a song with such amazing colors, theme, and style changing, as well as composing for three singers requires nothing less than a genius. The mix of classical instruments, vocal as well as modern synthesis but still was able to provide a consistent and exciting song is so mindblowing. Kajiura Yuki is my no. 1 composer in Japan period.
Most people in the comment section are here because of F/Z, which is sad because they probably don't even know that Kajiura was the composer of Kalafina.
@@k31tw1nd4v I found her through her works in Noir, followed by Madlax and El Cazador. She also did .hack//Sign, Pandora Hearts, and Madoka Magica (which Kalafina also did an ED for).
Leading up to that part, the melody & bass is along the lines of a a a c d d d g g g b c c c ... d g c f ... and once it transitions a a a g# a f# g# a c# c# d ... f# d b e ... that looks like A minor to A major to me. What reassures me is improvising the bassline with her. Prior to the transition, anything outside of A minor sounds off. Afterwards, anything outside of A major sounds off. Albeit, I can't hear the chords in this song for the life of me. Your chord progression perspective goes right over my head.
Hey, I hope you are doing good, I don’t know you but I wanted to let you know that God loves you a lot and despite everything that’s going on he has a beautiful plan for your life, please look for him and follow the guidance of the Bible so you can be saved while there’s still time. God wants to save you so please don’t hesitate to trust him, if you do he will fight all of your battles with you and he will walk with by your side all the days of your life❤️ If possible please share with your family, friends, loved ones and others including the people on this video, it might not seem like it but some people feel alone and hopeless, God has a hope and a purpose for everyone, and he can save someone by you just sharing this with them, so please do me and that person a favor and share this with them. Thank you for reading and take care, God bless you and your loved ones always.
The girl with the low voice is superb. Not only her voice is beautiful and flawless but... do you know how f*****g hard it is for a singer to maintain the tone (and change it accordingly) while you hear such high voices and you're alone!? Words can't describe the difficulty... an excellent example of hard work.
Yeah I know how it is, well kind of, and her name is Kubota Keiko, she has an amazing voice. Listen to her versions of Synchronicity and Houseki, they're amazing. And yes I know how hard it is, because when I sing with my sister, I usually have a higher voice and my sister had a deeper voice (kind of similar to Keiko...) and when we sing together she tries to mantain her tone, and if she can't she forces her voice to sound higher :/ what a great sister I have ^_^
+drazapatos what I always did in choir was memorize words that I pronounce in that pitch, and before singing I repeat it a few times to find the right pitch for the song (sometimes even recalling it during the song), its a great technique
Yuki Kijiura is so unexplainably talented. This piece has such unique arrangements and omg i fell in love with it when i first heard it years ago and it still sticks with me to this day. A masterpiece
+Kevin Lu Well, I heard Wakana was sick during the live show, so her voices was not as good as in this MV. However, it was still great considering her illness.
They won't be disbanding, Keiko is leaving along with Kajiura, leaving Kalafina to continue as a duo. Based on my decade plus experience in music, I can confirm this isn't going to work and they will be forced to either disband shortly into the duo run or find a near exact match to Keiko's voice, which is easier said than done with her vocal type being as rare in females as it is.
This is such a legendary song . The fact the one girl can lower her voice so much and then raise it to blend with the other 2 girls is just so epic ! This music is so much better than the crap America comes out with imo.
Omg ikr I think she's great! And I live in America and I hate the music its all about sex or dating or cheating but this, this is deeper and has more meaning.
***** hahaha at least I'm not some life less troll like you. My family loves me and is completely aware that I listen to J-music and they don't care. They are really proud of and I'm happy they are my family. And with "Jpoppers' house" I mean you are in the Jpop area of UA-cam. Enter at your own risk. And I'm smarter than you because: 1- My spelling is way better than yours (and I'm not even american, LOL) 2- You can't tell a boy from a girl apart 3- You use insults because you have nothing else on your empty mind. I feel pity.
Surely a miracle will happen just once more Draws a twisted future with a tender voice My cries and prayers For a world where no one will cry anymore Vanish without even reaching anywhere of the soiled red sky So I throw away all solace and press on The beautiful moonlight Is sinking into the beginning To the place beyond With closed eyes I'll stretch my hand out Even farther While believing in your grief The truth is, who's the one wanted to be saved My lost heart pokes a hole in the sky If by choosing you I could find our very own happiness Then no matter how cold a flame I'm burnt with I won't be far from a smile A writhing dream - the meaning of life I want to return this frightened world Back to crystal-clear water Sadness is the only thing that I won't erase Even the logic in people's hearts I'll slash it with these hands Down to zero we go The beautiful moonlight Is just quietly Decaying away into the beginning My ceased desire Is still further Within the darkness All the days that I've lived with you Is a kind song.
Please define to me a Greek tragedy. I am Greek and have studied some in school, but have a hard time getting what you mean. What is a classic Greek tragedy?
@@MyETProductions To summarize, a "[Greek] Tragedy is a form of drama based on human suffering and, mainly, the terrible or sorrowful events that befall a main character."
This song is so moving. I don't know what they are saying but the emotions in the song seem to reach to my heart.😫😭 It is truly a wonderful song. I love it😆
Fate/Zero was only 13 years old (it first aired in Japan during 2011) but it's already a modern masterpiece. I don't know how to describe it but it's definitely one of the best Fate series in general.
Kalafina is the only Japanese singing team that I appreciated because of their excellent singing skills and their enriching emotions within the songs. It required lots of hard work and I can hear it as an audience. Keep it on Kalafina!!!!!
Then you probably will love Fiction Junction (Kalafina's former group, also created by Yuki Kajiura and singing for Tsubasa Chronicle anime, the members are the same, only 1 is different).
My love for Kalafina started after watching Black Butler. Getting stronger after watching Fate/Zero. Ended up researching for more anime where they sang the opening or ending
Their voices are incredible on their own, but they were absolutely born to be a trio. The melodic perfection that comes from their union is unmatched in any other vocalist group world over.
I wanna marry an autonomous construction and have a kid with it, and then I'll summon a gender-bended King Arthur and try to win a tournament for a magical artifact, but will ultimately realize that killing off the rest of the competition wasn't worth the disappointment and horror of learning the artifact's true purpose, leading me to destroy it which causes thousands of innocent people to die and my servant to be sent back to her personal Hell, prompting me to adopt a whiny ginger who grows up to star in a really subpar anime.
I literally just finished fate zero and now I'm curled up in a ball crying because dammit that was a good anime! I want to be a hero when I grow up too T.T
Houssem Neffati hero? haha , you die for people ? i dont think that world have many good people. you still want to be hero ? make sure you help the right people.
"Some people say the world is a beautiful place worth protecting. I agree with the second half of that statement." There are plenty of people in this world that do awful things, but their is inherent good in everyone. I would be a hero in a heartbeat, regardless of the pain it brings upon me.
It's now 2022...and this song...is still powerful and never fails to send chills down to my spine. I dunno why...but this song...it would be good as Invincible cartoon tv show's opening theme song...if they ever allow it. I bet it would sound epic.
Ato ichido dake kiseki wa okoru darou Yasashii koe de egaku yuganda mirai I'm sure only one more time, a miracle will occur In the twisted future you draw out with your kind voice. Mou dare mo nakanai sekai no tame ni Akaku kegasareta sora no Doko ni mo todokazu kieru sakebi to inori Nagusame wa sutete yukeru For the sake of making a world where no one cries, I scream out a prayer that doesn't reach anywhere and disappears Into the contaminated red sky, Throwing away all mercy. Kirei na tsuki no hikari ga Hajimari e to shizumi yuku Sono kanata e Tozasareteku hitomi de Mada tooku e Te o nobasu Kimi no nageki o shinjite The light of the beautiful moon Sinks down to the beginning, Far beyond the sky And into your grieving eyes. I still reach my hand Even further. Believe in the grief you feel. Hontou wa dare ga sukuwaretakute Mayou kokoro ga sora ni ana o ugatsu In actuality, everyone wants to be saved, And their wandering hearts pierce a hole in the sky. Kimi o erande Tatta futari no yorokobi o sagaseta nara Donna tsumetai honoo ni mi o yakarete mo Hohoemi no chikaku If I choose you, And if we can search for a happiness just for the two of us It doesn't matter if freezing flames burn my body, I am near a smile. Notautsu yume inochi no imi Obieteru kono sekai o Sundamizu no naka e kaeshitai A writhing dream is the meaning of my life. I want to return this frightened world Into the depths of the water from whence it came. Kanashimi dake kese wa shinai Sonna hito no kokoro no kotowari sae Kono te de kirisaite down to zero we go Sadness is the only thing I will not erase. I will even cut through That kind of person's reasoning with these two hands of mine. Down to zero we go. Kirei na tsuki no hikari wa Tada shizuka ni Hajimari e kuchite yuku yo Tozasareta akogare wa Mada tooku e Yami no naka Kimi to ikita Hibi no subete Yasashii uta The light of the beautiful moon Just silently Falls into ruin into the beginning. This admiration I have locked away Still reaches faraway, Into the darkness All the days I spent alive with you Are a gentle song
Ericka Hampton You were put through school for a reason. You're also making the rest of us Americans look bad. In case you haven't noticed, we're the entire world's internet joke for being fat and stupid, and your comment isn't helping.
Kalafina is my favorite j-pop group, mainly because they always create not only gorgeous music videos, but they also have such amazing singing voices, gorgeous costumes and they are gorgeous themselves, and I just love how it all loops together so well.
"I shall grieve, and I shall weep. But I shall never regret." "A king must live a grander life than any other’s, and stoke his people’s feelings of admiration! He who is worthy of all heroes’ envy, and he who leads their way, is king! Therefore, the king is not alone. For his will equals that of all his followers together!" Rider was my favourite servant in f/z :c
Reasons why I love Japanese music and why it is better than current mainstream ones: 1. Poetic. I love poems. 2. Lyrics have beautiful hidden meanings. 3. Harmony of the sounds. 4. Songs these days are all about money, drugs, sex, violence and partying and girls. 5. Makes us love our favorite anime series much more because of symbolic interpretations.
Everything good has its end, maybe that’s even better that it happened though, at least they’re not exhausted and bored of the band career, and we have a lot of great songs and amazing concerts:)
Nah i loved the anime. For me though it had no real conclusion. Yeah the war ended and he wasn't the hero he wanted to be, but in a way he was. Then there's the fact that kiritsugu can't go see iliasviel... And saber goes back to her dieing moment which makes NO sense seeing as Excalibur seriously destroyed the grail and Gilgamesh but SOMEHOW she dies which im sorry but no. If your gonna drag out a series to be two seasons long, then right before the finale explain how saving the world without a greater sacrifice is impossible just so they have her destroy the grail, that pisses me off, like they could have just ended it with her destroying Gilgamesh and the grail and done all the epilogue but they didn't they had to drag it out. And left Gilgamesh to his own devices, which he can still open the gates of Babylon. So.. He's practically a god. So no. Just no.
Oooh, the kids turned into the sea monster?? I thought Caster and his master just randomly killed kids and the monster was just a thing out of the book Caster used :')

Just came back home from the theaters. Watched the last Heavens Feel movie. I COULD SWEAR they played an instrumental part of this song during a scene. I felt like Kajiura wanted to honor Kalafina! 😍😍😭😭😭
The designers of the clothing and accessories must be constantly on their toes because they never disappoint. The cray cray is real with japanese artists.
I enjoy this song because of the tone and quality. In context to Fate/Zero, it's very fitting for the visuals as the second opening song because the focus of that particular opening was on the main character who, without spoiling anything for those who haven't watched, has had a very forlorn existence. The lyrics and tone fit extremely well.
Martin Fresco get attached to the anime > like the OP as well > link the song with the anime that you thought was really good > master tier music is established in your mind > music sung in english sucks now
@@frederickgrandison3609 It's always weird getting replies to comments that are so old, but it's also fun to see what my past self said lol. I've seen anime, and I had then too. I still don't really care for it. There are a few exceptions. I love Studio Ghibli (but who doesn't?), I did like Neon Genesis Evangelion, and because I'm a furfag, I do watch Beastars. Also Hetalia, despite its tendency to attract weird fangirls, is legitimately hilarious
Came back here after their reunion announcement. Can't believe that this is happening! Hope that they'll perform the ED of the upcoming Madoka Magica movie. EDIT: My joy of having a Kalafina reunion was short-lived now that Kajiura announced that she didn't involved over the reunion concert and worst, she wasn't informed by the girls about it.
Oooooh i didn't know they reunited ! I'm so happy to read it, I can't believe it, I love them so much 🥺 I also hope they will perfom a song for the Puella Magi Madoka Magica movie
DogeOtakuGaming :3 she just wanted to leave based on her statement. She felt her time to move on to other things had come, so she acted on it and ended her contract.
Even though they disbanded, you can still follow and support the original artists of the band. It might not be the same but hey loyal fans can still stay loyal.
*SPOILERS(ish)!!* I would be really curious to know what Gilgamesh does in the years between war 4 and war 5. Like if he scolded restaurant people for not serving his food on point, or what he did for fun.
+Mono Nonny It's quite funny, in Carnival Phantasm he's asked the exact same thing... Where he replies with; "EVERYTHING!" showing scenes of him playing video games, building model planes, and even reading comics... Idk, but he just seems like a silly man who hasn't gotten over his early teenage years yet. XD
This was the best song out of the Fate/Zero series. Just fits the dark and depressing mood of the second season so well.
Garden of Sinner's OST felt much darker than this, but I'd agree
I feel the same.
Charlie Bonney I loved their work for Aldnoah.Zero too AMAZING songs
What about Oath Sign :))

Draws a twisted future with a tender voice
My cries and prayers
For a world where no one will cry anymore
Vanish without even reaching anywhere of the soiled red sky
So I throw away all solace and press on
The beautiful moonlight
Is sinking into the beginning
To the place beyond
With closed eyes
I'll stretch my hand out
Even farther
While believing in your grief
The truth is, who's the one wanted to be saved
My lost heart pokes a hole in the sky
If by choosing you
I could find our very own happiness
Then no matter how cold a flame I'm burnt with
I won't be far from a smile
A writhing dream - the meaning of life
I want to return this frightened world
Back to crystal-clear water
Sadness is the only thing that I won't erase
Even the logic in people's hearts
I'll slash it with these hands
Down to zero we go
The beautiful moonlight
Is just quietly
Decaying away into the beginning
My ceased desire
Is still further
Within the darkness
All the days that I've lived with you
Is a kind song.

Very accurate
Japanese girls with low voices are so awesome! I don't understand why childish high-pitched voices are more popular.
Anime girls :v that's why
Because being youthful is a big part of their culture
Low voices are where it's at
both are great
still sounds like high pitched children to my ears

Their voices are incredible on their own, but they were absolutely born to be a trio. The melodic perfection that comes from their union is unmatched in any other vocalist group world over.
The harmony in this song is some of the best I've ever heard in a long time. So clean and perfect. Makes me wanna rewatch Fate Zero

These ladies have fine, powerful, soft velvet voices that are not nasal squeaks. Fandom begins!
"Kerry, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
I want to be hero.
IncognitoPower yeahh!!I l want be a real life hero...1..2 push ups.Okay i'm done! nevermind.
"Well... I want to be a Hero of Justice"
*sobs* what a way to ruin a childhood!
I wanna marry an autonomous construction and have a kid with it, and then I'll summon a gender-bended King Arthur and try to win a tournament for a magical artifact, but will ultimately realize that killing off the rest of the competition wasn't worth the disappointment and horror of learning the artifact's true purpose, leading me to destroy it which causes thousands of innocent people to die and my servant to be sent back to her personal Hell, prompting me to adopt a whiny ginger who grows up to star in a really subpar anime.
I literally just finished fate zero and now I'm curled up in a ball crying because dammit that was a good anime! I want to be a hero when I grow up too T.T
me too..
don't say that again, a hero suffers and sacrifice more than you think and imagine :)
Houssem Neffati hero? haha , you die for people ? i dont think that world have many good people. you still want to be hero ? make sure you help the right people.
the problem is, i don't give a fuck about people :D
neither i want to be a hero
"Some people say the world is a beautiful place worth protecting. I agree with the second half of that statement." There are plenty of people in this world that do awful things, but their is inherent good in everyone. I would be a hero in a heartbeat, regardless of the pain it brings upon me.
KALAFINA IS BACK AJSJASJAJSJAS
It's now 2022...and this song...is still powerful and never fails to send chills down to my spine. I dunno why...but this song...it would be good as Invincible cartoon tv show's opening theme song...if they ever allow it. I bet it would sound epic.
setuju ngab
Its the opening of fate zero.
Fate zero is one of the best 'Cartoon shows'.
@@paincake2595 yeah. one of the best 'anime' shows.
Ato ichido dake kiseki wa okoru darou
Yasashii koe de egaku yuganda mirai
I'm sure only one more time, a miracle will occur
In the twisted future you draw out with your kind voice.
Mou dare mo nakanai sekai no tame ni
Akaku kegasareta sora no
Doko ni mo todokazu kieru sakebi to inori
Nagusame wa sutete yukeru
For the sake of making a world where no one cries,
I scream out a prayer that doesn't reach anywhere and disappears
Into the contaminated red sky,
Throwing away all mercy.
Kirei na tsuki no hikari ga
Hajimari e to shizumi yuku
Sono kanata e
Tozasareteku hitomi de
Mada tooku e
Te o nobasu
Kimi no nageki o shinjite
The light of the beautiful moon
Sinks down to the beginning,
Far beyond the sky
And into your grieving eyes.
I still reach my hand
Even further.
Believe in the grief you feel.
Hontou wa dare ga sukuwaretakute
Mayou kokoro ga sora ni ana o ugatsu
In actuality, everyone wants to be saved,
And their wandering hearts pierce a hole in the sky.
Kimi o erande
Tatta futari no yorokobi o sagaseta nara
Donna tsumetai honoo ni mi o yakarete mo
Hohoemi no chikaku
If I choose you,
And if we can search for a happiness just for the two of us
It doesn't matter if freezing flames burn my body,
I am near a smile.
Notautsu yume inochi no imi
Obieteru kono sekai o
Sundamizu no naka e kaeshitai
A writhing dream is the meaning of my life.
I want to return this frightened world
Into the depths of the water from whence it came.
Kanashimi dake kese wa shinai
Sonna hito no kokoro no kotowari sae
Kono te de kirisaite
down to zero we go
Sadness is the only thing I will not erase.
I will even cut through
That kind of person's reasoning with these two hands of mine.
Down to zero we go.
Kirei na tsuki no hikari wa
Tada shizuka ni
Hajimari e kuchite yuku yo

Mada tooku e
Yami no naka
Kimi to ikita

Yasashii uta
The light of the beautiful moon
Just silently
Falls into ruin into the beginning.
This admiration I have locked away
Still reaches faraway,
Into the darkness
All the days
I spent alive with you
Are a gentle song
BEST SONG ON THE INTERNET PERIOD.
among all kalafina song this one gave me the best eargasm
same
I like Magia the most but Oblivious and Aria are also way up there. This is pretty good too.
Better said, what have they done that was NOT good
oblivious is way better u should probably hear it 1st
Ijat Munir Any of Kalafinas songs from Kara no kyoukai is a eargasm to listen to
Nicholas Adam true!
WE LOVE YOU GUYS OVER IN THE USA... we have no idea what your saying lol but we like your sound
you're=/=your

Ericka Hampton
You were put through school for a reason. You're also making the rest of us Americans look bad. In case you haven't noticed, we're the entire world's internet joke for being fat and stupid, and your comment isn't helping.

Hallo bg
Hadir
To the 8 that disliked this song: YOU HAVE NO TASTE IN MUSIC. THIS IS SO FRICKIN' AWESOME!!
Yesterday is when I finished Fate/Zero the third time. And I never ever skipped the op.
I've finished it today :)
finished fate/zero last summer ^^;
I've only watched it once, but I never skipped the openings, same with stay night
still wandering why do people hate fate stay
+mikata People hate Fate/Stay Night?
Song still gives me chills. Thanks for all your wonderful music, Kalafina. You'll be missed.
FINALLY , THE CONTENT IS AVAILABLE IN THIS COUNTRY
11 años y sigo escuchando a estas hermosas voces.....transmite esta cancion nostalgia, tristeza, esperanza..
I hate coming back knowing they departed....but I will always love their songs...
This is by far the best anime opening ever. Hands down.
Wow! This is beautiful!
Kalafina is my favorite j-pop group, mainly because they always create not only gorgeous music videos, but they also have such amazing singing voices, gorgeous costumes and they are gorgeous themselves, and I just love how it all loops together so well.
One of the best Jpop songs I've heard in a long, long time.
+Daigoro Toyama (daihard) Jpop??
They sound more like symphonic J-Rock to me...
Benny Leo I've never heard of 'J-Rock.' To me, pretty much all Japanese songs are J-Pop. lol
+Daigoro Toyama (daihard) you can hear the guitars and drums which are fundamental to Rock in general..
And J-Rock is a thing...
@@benleovin98 yes and no. Cuz worldwide and the Japanese itself referred all Japan songs to J-pop. I think there are not only J-pop
Keiko is so freaking talented, carrying the contramelody so easily.
33 seconds of the beginning are poetry
R.I.P Iskandar, The king of conquerors.
No , he is immortal cause he lives in our hearts :D
Broskandar* =D
I cry a lot for his fallen ;D
"I shall grieve, and I shall weep. But I shall never regret."
"A king must live a grander life than any other’s, and stoke his people’s feelings of admiration! He who is worthy of all heroes’ envy, and he who leads their way, is king! Therefore, the king is not alone. For his will equals that of all his followers together!"
Rider was my favourite servant in f/z :c
He will live in our hearts! Our combined love for him will create a Reality Marble that warped all his passions and his bravery in Fate Zero!

I like how this song fits perfectly with the tragedy feeling of Fate/Zero.
Hate it when songs with this much perfection is under rated ;(
Reasons why I love Japanese music and why it is better than current mainstream ones:
1. Poetic. I love poems.
2. Lyrics have beautiful hidden meanings.
3. Harmony of the sounds.
4. Songs these days are all about money, drugs, sex, violence and partying and girls.
5. Makes us love our favorite anime series much more because of symbolic interpretations.
Their instrumentals are amazing too
^ THIS. THIS RIGHT UP THERE
Listen to Pink Floyd and King Crimson
Exactly why I love all anime song's
I wanna cry when i listen to this,how i wish they didnt disband😭
Everything good has its end, maybe that’s even better that it happened though, at least they’re not exhausted and bored of the band career, and we have a lot of great songs and amazing concerts:)
Fate/Zero hype
awesome :D
hell yeah!
Yes, Lord.
O yeaaaahhhhhhh!!!
Fate/Zero was a masterpiece, idc!!
The end pissed me off.
Brandon Miller maybe you did not understand it? it was quite a poignant conclusion to an action anime
Nah i loved the anime. For me though it had no real conclusion. Yeah the war ended and he wasn't the hero he wanted to be, but in a way he was. Then there's the fact that kiritsugu can't go see iliasviel... And saber goes back to her dieing moment which makes NO sense seeing as Excalibur seriously destroyed the grail and Gilgamesh but SOMEHOW she dies which im sorry but no. If your gonna drag out a series to be two seasons long, then right before the finale explain how saving the world without a greater sacrifice is impossible just so they have her destroy the grail, that pisses me off, like they could have just ended it with her destroying Gilgamesh and the grail and done all the epilogue but they didn't they had to drag it out. And left Gilgamesh to his own devices, which he can still open the gates of Babylon. So.. He's practically a god. So no. Just no.
Brandon Miller You do realize it's a prequel, with the sequel series airing this October, right?
Really, are you sure?
RIP kids, who had transform into a starfish like monster by Caster.
Actually, Saber kills the Caster with her excalibur. I love that scene
@@zulfakarzuhdi4867 yeah probably one of the best scenes in Fate Zero
Oooh, the kids turned into the sea monster?? I thought Caster and his master just randomly killed kids and the monster was just a thing out of the book Caster used :')
Still messed me up even till this day.
Good Lordt. Their voices are fucking majestic...
I want to say this is my favorite piece by them, but... It's just that they have a perfect track record on writing good songs.
Years after watching Fate: Zero, this song still just... sticks to me. It’s so filled with emotion! I love it!!
Fate/Zero is key genius in every way, I've already been so emotional since Re:Zero
I'm in love with Keiko's voice
0:10 i think I'm falling in love on the first sight!!!
I'm new to Japanese music and I have fallen in love with Kalafina
it's sad that they had to disband :(
-love from India ❤
10 years from now, people will understand why we loved kalafina and Yuki k.
This music deserve more than 10m viewers
there is only one group that could pull off melodic-rock ballad perfectly and it's kalafina !

Bro I love this comment, puts alot of emotion from the show and I love that but it was sad
Stop making us cry will you...? Jokes aside though, if that part played on that scene, it'll definitely have more impact than what it already has...
thank you im crying
@@bluekitsune1014 sorry XD. Fun fact it's Waver's birthday today 🥳😝
Omg ISKANDAR LAST WORDS... IMMA BOUT TO CRY HARD😭😭😭😭
love saber and kalafina 😢
Just came back home from the theaters. Watched the last Heavens Feel movie. I COULD SWEAR they played an instrumental part of this song during a scene. I felt like Kajiura wanted to honor Kalafina! 😍😍😭😭😭
Keiko's voice, the deep one, just makes everyone blend together so much more better
I just
I love Kalafina so much
I listen to their songs over and over and never get tired of them
The designers of the clothing and accessories must be constantly on their toes because they never disappoint.
The cray cray is real with japanese artists.
these vocals still give chills down my spine....none comes closer to perfection imo.
thank you for the god-tier music guys, a fan to the beginning till the end!
I miss Kalafina.
que bueno, que volvió esta versión que todos amamos
Chills, every time the first chorus kicks around.
I enjoy this song because of the tone and quality. In context to Fate/Zero, it's very fitting for the visuals as the second opening song because the focus of that particular opening was on the main character who, without spoiling anything for those who haven't watched, has had a very forlorn existence. The lyrics and tone fit extremely well.
Saber on bike with the song in background was best. 💕
Yeah it was fire 🔥
Definitely
I have yet to read one comment which isn't stating how this is better than "American" music
Martin Fresco ^ here's one
Martin Fresco get attached to the anime > like the OP as well > link the song with the anime that you thought was really good > master tier music is established in your mind > music sung in english sucks now
Martin Fresco still a nice song though
Cause jp is better
Martin Fresco Because it is infinitely better.
I don't really watch anime, but Japanese music is incredible.
Have you now? You're missing a whole lot
@@frederickgrandison3609 It's always weird getting replies to comments that are so old, but it's also fun to see what my past self said lol. I've seen anime, and I had then too. I still don't really care for it. There are a few exceptions. I love Studio Ghibli (but who doesn't?), I did like Neon Genesis Evangelion, and because I'm a furfag, I do watch Beastars. Also Hetalia, despite its tendency to attract weird fangirls, is legitimately hilarious
Came back here after their reunion announcement. Can't believe that this is happening!
Hope that they'll perform the ED of the upcoming Madoka Magica movie.
EDIT: My joy of having a Kalafina reunion was short-lived now that Kajiura announced that she didn't involved over the reunion concert and worst, she wasn't informed by the girls about it.
Oooooh i didn't know they reunited ! I'm so happy to read it, I can't believe it, I love them so much 🥺
I also hope they will perfom a song for the Puella Magi Madoka Magica movie
I thought there was only one singer. This makes more sense, lol
2:12 to 2:39 gives me the feels.
This perfect harmony of three very specific voices is something I'm really going to miss. May they find success in all future endeavors.
M Saito No, I understand you. I'm honestly not sure if they will survive the absence of a key component of the group.
As am I, I would love to hear more great music from them.
Why is she disbanding?
DogeOtakuGaming :3 she just wanted to leave based on her statement. She felt her time to move on to other things had come, so she acted on it and ended her contract.
Even though they disbanded, you can still follow and support the original artists of the band. It might not be the same but hey loyal fans can still stay loyal.
You will be missed, Kalafina.
Kalafina seems to be one of the very few that has real craft for the art of music and singing.
I wish i could see them live, that would be a dream com true TuT
Those Harmonies....
certified banger, gentleman.
*SPOILERS(ish)!!*
I would be really curious to know what Gilgamesh does in the years between war 4 and war 5. Like if he scolded restaurant people for not serving his food on point, or what he did for fun.
+theasianslytherin XD thats hilarious to imagine
+theasianslytherin That would be hilarious to see animated.

+Mono Nonny It's quite funny, in Carnival Phantasm he's asked the exact same thing... Where he replies with; "EVERYTHING!" showing scenes of him playing video games, building model planes, and even reading comics... Idk, but he just seems like a silly man who hasn't gotten over his early teenage years yet. XD
