♧ Big Bangs After A Dull Span

One benefit of blogging is that you can share your own news, ideas, feelings… etc. with others at the very time; reading others’ blogs is definitely enough good either, especially when they are whom you admire.
On November 19 and 20, two big bangs burst out from Yuki Kajiura’s blog. On December 24, 2008, Xmas Eve, Kalafina’s new single CD, “fairytale,” will be released! On February 25, 2009, a new FictionJunction album will be released, pluses with many new tracks! Project FJ~~~ How fascinating they are! Kalafina, YUUKA, KEIKO, KAORI, ASUKA, WAKANA, YURIKO KAIDA… the new FJ album must be a good selection for all new comers of FictionJunction, or also a good belated birthday present for me! (oops! I’ve to pay for it, don’t I?)
The past two months were rather dull to me, but not to people who went to Yuki’s lives. The most recent album of Yuki was an original soundtrack, “Achilles and the Turtle.” Not bad, but I prefer to soundtracks from “Kara no Kyokai, Garden of Sinner.” And the two bangs blasted onto me, I was recharged up to full energy!
Talk about my goddess now. Although I have the experience of singing at a chorus, I never have any ideas how many chorus tracks a song uses. In Yuki’s recent posts, one her coworkers, Mrs./Mr. K, tried to suggest composing a song without any chorus track. Guess what did Yuki say? “No, ‘cos I’ve accustomed to use enough chorus tracks.”
Interesting, huh? In that post, Yuki confessed that there are often more than 50 tracks of chorus in a song; in case of Kalafina-songs, the number usually increases to 60-80 (or more, I can’t remember very clearly). Sure, chorus-free songs, like FJY’s “June is your eternity, from ‘circus’” exist, but they’re few. There’re more songs include so many chorus tracks that no one can’t lose in counting. Maybe songs like “Together, ‘destination’” have only a few such tracks, Heaven knows!
