Kalafina Bingo Challenge - my predictions

My own challenge, so I need to do it, right? >D Also, other people, participate please :D To those who don’t have a Tumblr account, go ahead and post your predictions as an ASK to me, I will post it for you :)

HERE is the original post.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, I think the most difficult part is that we don’t know HOW MANY of the songs that fans voted for are actually being used. I say it will be the “Top 10″ because if, for example, they went with the Top 20 of the poll, they might end up with the same setlist as 9+ONE or ballads only. But since we know what kinds of musicians will participate (aka flute and accordion girls), that won’t happen. So they will at least determine part of the setlist. Then again, I think they will resort to songs that haven’t been performed so often in the past, otherwise it just might turn into another Arena Live or 9+ONE.

Oblivious Their debut song, if it doesn‘t come up then what will?

Hyakka Ryouran Their most recent song and the only one that hasn’t been performed live yet - in a recording and moreover in its original version.

Märchen Same as “Hyakka Ryouran”, more or less. Yes, it appeared in 9+ONE, but I say it will come again in its actual version with the flute.

* Usumurasaki Ah, one of my absolute favorite songs, therefore I voted for it. It’s been only performed once and... well, actually I can’t think of a reason why this should be performed as I don’t think people voted for it, but I really want it xD

* Koibito no Mukashigatari no yuugure no Same as “Usumurasaki”. But why not, it would make a great intro song of a second act or enchore (I doubt it would be the starting song, too much like Far on the Water Live).

Hikari no senritsu I’m missing flute songs. And this being one of their popular songs, hell why not.

Serenato THIS NEEDS TO BE PERFORMED!! PLEASE!! I want to hear that one because Kalafina’s voices have changed so much over the past 10 years and there is just no way that this will be like that one performance we have a recording of. Especially Hikaru. And I desperately want to know what they would make out of “Serenato” nowadays as a new interpretation.

Ongaku To be honest, I don’t want “Ongaku”. It‘s an awesome, upbeat song but it’s just too overplayed. I hope they go with “Identify”, “One Light” or “Progressive” instead but it’s still kinda hard to believe that it won’t come up.

Kantankatan Again, we haven’t seen this live yet (in its original version) and being one of their most recent and very beautiful songs, I’m almost 100% sure it will be performed. Please.

Monochrome The accordion needs work, right? VERY sure it will be performed, because “Signal” and “Hanataba” just have been performed so often, while “monochrome” only once. And they can make a pretty good show out of it.

Hanataba The accordion needs to do something again, right? Other than that, there is only “Signal” left, if I remember correctly, so chances are very high for Hanataba  (although, I’d prefer Signal <D).

ARIA Ah, Hikaru’s signature song. It’s hard to believe that it won’t come up and apparently many fans voted for it. I would love to hear this in a new version, as Hikaru probably can’t really do it in the original style anymore, as we have seen at the Red Day Live. That’s why I am super interested in new interpretations of old songs and “ARIA” would be perfect, as she did already in the Premium Lives. Haru wa kogane no yume no naka An underrated song in my opinion and performed like never. Hopefully hopefully. Obbligato or Mata kaze ga tsuyoku natta I suppose at least one rock song that isn’t upbeat will be performed and I hope for either one or both of it, because they are performed sooo rarely and give great change of style. And I want to heat Wakana’s super high kajiurago part in “Obbligato” xD Tombo I am missing ballads in this setlist, so I guess their most recent one will come up too. Just as they performed all the songs from the “Into the World/Märchen” single during 9+ONE, I say they will do the same in the 10th Anniversary with the “Hyakka Ryouran” single. Lirica SUCH an underrated song and loooong overdue in a recorded live concert. I need this. WE need this. Alleluia I’m missing some Keiko songs here as well. I really want to hear this and not “Ongaku” xD Very popular, so chances are high I guess. Seventh Heaven An amazing song, which I suppose is also popular. But the main reason I picked this is that MAYBE Kalafina will perform all their album flag ships. It would make sense, because it would make a great theme throughout the concert, you know, as a journey through Kalafina music history.

Red Moon See above. Dark songs ftw.

Eden See above. Also, a super nice mood changer.

Consolation See above.

Far on the Water See above :p Also, a Rekishi Hiwa Historia song somehow needs to be there right? I hope it’s just not “Storia”. Please. not. “Storia”.

-------------

Honorable mentions aka songs that won’t be performed but still I kinda hope for it, but probably not, but maybe, but no.

(* Adore: This definitely won’t come up, although I voted for it in the poll. I think it’s too much of a B-side and to be fair, the album version isn’t really good, only the live versions.), (Kichigo no Shigemi ni), (Door), (In Every Nothing), (Kotonoha), (Yami no Uta). ----------------

As for the other predictions:

A new album would be amazing and kind of overdue, but I am not really convinced that that will happen. If the rumors of an autumn world tour were true, then they would have to release the album maybe in spring, then immediately do the domestic tour (and other events possibly) and THEN a world tour? Seems a bit too busy for me, even for Kalafina. Then again, no spring/summer tour at all or AGAIN some sort of Best Of Tour? That also seems unlikely to me, so I go with the following:

A world tour in summer/autumn and before that some other smaller events or single releases. But still fingers crossed for a new album, I’m craving for fresh songs.

ALSO, SOLO PERFORMANCES! This hope will go down last XD

ALSO ALSO, A NEW UNRELEASED SONG. If the rumors of a new single in spring were true, then this would be a great opportunity for a premiere performance and a good surprise for the concert. They did this with “Hyakka Ryouran” in 9+ONE in Kitakyushu and “Into the World” at the Arena Live, right? So why not again and people would go crazy. 

ALSO ALSO ALSO, some normal song in an acoustic version. Would be nice xD

Kalafina Bingo Challenge - My ‘Silly and Mindless’ Prediction

I found this challenge from @chibalein and I decide to participate even though I didn’t take part for the poll for the concert since I’m not a member of Harmony and it’s so hard for me to choose only one song. XD. It’s pretty good idea to invite the fans to take part to make the set list of songs to be performed in their anniversary live through polling. Well, it’s so hard for me to predict. Hahahaha.. Rather than prediction, it’s just my wish set lists because actually I want to hear all of Kalafina’s song to be performed. XD

1.      Oblivious

This is their debut song since Yuki Kajiura has the music project for Kara no Kyoukai series, the member was only Wakana and Keiko. So, I expect this song will appear in their 10th anniversary live.

2.      ARIA

I expect this song to be appear and I want this song to be appear since this song is rarely performed

3.      Serenato

I want this song appear in their live concert since as long as I know, it was performed only once, cmiiw. I want to hear they sing it live since it’s been ten years since their debut.

4.      Hikari no Senritsu

I want to hear the flute! XD

5.      Magia

Well, I expect this song to be appeared since I’ve ever heard they stated that Magia is the main song in their live performances, so I think they will sing this.

6.      Ongaku

Almost the same reason with Magia, they often sing this song in their live concert.

7.      Hyakka Ryouran

The newest song and I want to hear this song will be performed. If I’m not mistaken, this song was performed once in their launching event, and THI IS ONLY MY MINDLESS SILLY WISH, I want the actor of both Touken Ranbu Musical and Stage, especially who portrait the characters who appeared in Katsugeki Touken Ranbu, appear in Kalafina’s live at least for this song, since it is the ending theme of Katsugeki Touken Ranbu, and I want to hear the actors sing this song together with Kalafina. I think it will be interesting.. hahaha.. XD

8.      Kantankatan

Almost same reason with Hyakka Ryouran. I expect this song to be appeared since they usually sing their new song when they held the concert after releasing their new album, but since they haven’t released any new album yet, so I expect this song to be performed. And this is my favorite song.

9.      Tonbo

Same reason with no. 7 and 8.

10.  Destination Unknown or Mata Kaze ga Tsuyoku Natta

I want to hear the girls go crazy when they sing these songs since they are rocky enough, and with the combination of opera style from the Kajiura-go in Destination Unknown. Hahahahaha... XD

11.  Märchen

I only hear this song were performed once in 9+ONE live, and I want more! XD

12.  Utsukushisa

Same reason with Serenato.

13.  Obbligato

I want to hear Wakana’s high tune in Kajiura-go part. XD

14.  Heavenly Blue

Hmm.. I don’t know why, but I just have feeling this song will be performed... .___.

15.  Seventh Heaven

I think it will be good if this song will be actually performed with the slide theme of their ten years career like in their last 9+ONE live.

16.  Sprinter

Actually I think it is little bit hard to sing this song with only three member since the original were sung by four members, but I expect they can make it since I’ve heard they sang this song well as trio..

17.  Kimi ga Hikari ni Kaete Iku

It’s just coming to my mind.. XD

18.  Kizuato

I just heard the live version of this song when Maya was still a member.

19.  Blaze

Same reason with Destination Unknown. XD

20.  Natsu no Asa

The same reason with Hikari no Senritsu.

21.  Far on the water

Same reason with Seventh Heaven.

22.  Into the world

Same reason with Seventh Heaven

23.  Samidare ga Sugita Koro ni

I think it will be nice this song to be appeared as closing song, and expecting the girls invite the audiences to sing this together, especially “lalalala” part. :3

 Other ‘silly’ prediction

I can’t expect anything about after live announcement since I read in Canta-per-me website that Yuki Kajiura will take a little break, and it probably will affect Kalafina and FJ too. But I hope they will release new single/album after that. Another my silly wish, I wonder if Kalafina will do the live concert with grand orchestra, not only strings, I think it will be great.

Ok. That’s all my silly and incorrect expectation and prediction for this challenge. XD
