Stunning***********

perfect covers as always

That anime version cover is...not pretty.

Why do you think this cover is not pretty???

The image composition is bland(centralized character on white background, nothing else), the drawing style very basic and I personally don't like the character design. It would be good as one frame in an anime(given a background was added), but not as single cover imo.

The other covers are a bit better.

^ I agree. that's profile picture, not cover

OMG Hikari Furu is AMAZING, no that word even is too weak to describe it. I got goosebumps listening to it. It's a long time I haven't felt like that.

Mirai is great too.
It's me or Magia quattro sound darker than the original one ? Totally love it.

edit: pv here: http://kalafinacol.blogspot.com/2012...kari-furu.html

Also, considering the character (for anybody who's seen the Madoka TV series), having her calmly smiling like that...is not very fitting, IMHO.


Here are studio lives of all three single tracks:


hikari furu:




mirai:




Magia (Quattro):

the song is amazing !!!
the pv is so simple

Bumping this up. Kalafina is releasing a live CD spanning from 2009-2012 concerts for their 5th anniversary.

Which will contain PV from debut single oblivious to the newest single Hikari furu.
