Kalafina - To the Beginning

This was the best song out of the Fate/Zero series. Just fits the dark and depressing mood of the second season so well.

[@williamchan1414]

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.

[@Jenny-xe4gt]

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.

Alberto Wong you put the time stamp before it so when you tap, it doesn't skip it

[@WateryIce54321]

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.

[@Sagemirei]

This entire song gives me chills, but particularly at 3:05. Truly mesmerizing song for one of the best animes.

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.

[@laylyanntarabayirizarry6199]

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 ^_^

[@NostarielThranduil]

+Raichitox Keiko is a great alto.

[@InYourFacePeaceOfSht]

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.

[@DoranGale]

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.

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?

[@TheAgito42]

Really, are you sure?

[@zulfakarzuhdi4867]

RIP kids, who had transform into a starfish like monster by Caster.

[@zulfakarzuhdi4867]

Actually, Saber kills the Caster with her excalibur. I love that scene

[@skyrimguard113]

@@zulfakarzuhdi4867 yeah probably one of the best scenes in Fate Zero

[@m1tsukete670]

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 :')

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!!

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.

[@Hero-Human]

que bueno, que volvió esta versión que todos amamos

[@ChristInMeA2Z]

Chills, every time the first chorus kicks around.

[@PapaDeusVult]

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.

[@user-cYhjMAHpW]

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.

[@Lilium0311]

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 have yet to read one comment which isn't stating how this is better than "American" music

I don't really watch anime, but Japanese music is incredible.

[@frederickgrandison3609]

Have you now? You're missing a whole lot

[@PSIponies]

@@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

[@Alex20114]

This perfect harmony of three very specific voices is something I'm really going to miss. May they find success in all future endeavors.

[@Alex20114]

M Saito No, I understand you. I'm honestly not sure if they will survive the absence of a key component of the group.

[@Alex20114]

As am I, I would love to hear more great music from them.

[@lunana1139]

Why is she disbanding?

[@Alex20114]

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.
