KALAFINA - Oblivious (Live) - Reaction

[@つなしきのまる]

言語が違くても｢この人たちは本物だ｣と分からせる歌唱力がKalafinaだったんだなぁ、と｡ この2人の表情の変化をみて、｢Kalafinaの音楽はどこでも通用するんだ｣と思わせる動画 お2人ともKalafina聞いてくれてありがとう このグループは私にとって永遠の宝物です

[@TheSeeking2know]

Yes! Kalafina's music can really transmit emotions across language barriers. I believe most of the foreign fans got to love the music and the ladies on stage before ever looking up the lyrics in their language.

[@RetiredInThailand]

Finally ... Someone reacting to Kalafina ... My absolute favorite (along with the whole fiction junction crew.) To bad they just disbanded.

[@himepiioukpiiouk5543]

I think the same, I wanted to see someone reacting to Oblivious and it finally happened.

Ikr love them so underrated my faves

[@xiaorishu]

The captivation in their eyes is exactly how the rest of us feel when we listen to them :'3 Their songs are always so beautiful

[@ちょこちょこ-p9l]

なんか、ニコニコして、ワクワクして、感動してる表情で聴いてくれてるの見るだけでこっちも嬉しくなりますね。 この曲は、このライブが1番素敵だなぁと思っているのでこの曲を聴いてもらえたのが本当に嬉しいです。

[@TheSeeking2know]

Japan knows how to blend genres like no other country. I stand to be corrected. And those creators/composers do this with genres you wouldn't even think of, yet somehow get it to work. They have immense imaginations, fed with inputs (musical, artistic, cultural) from other parts of the world and they create new expressions of what we've known before, e.g. Babymetal, Perfume, Waggaki Band, to name a few (actually the ones I currently love). I only discovered *Kalafina* like last month, and they are already my favourite female singing trio, period. You are right. It's a sort of Phantom of the Opera, story-telling, sometimes-acappella, operatic pop rock group. I love their vocal layers, the exchanges, the dynamics, and their voices and professionalism, and of course, the band. Bravo!

[@shaira9984]

So true❤❤❤

[@Verdapamungkas]

Is like from RPG video game sountrack,so beautiful

[@renefrijhoff2484]

@@Verdapamungkas A lot of their songs, if not all, are used in anime either as op, ed or insert. I forgot exactly which anime, but there is one that only uses Kalafina songs as op, ed and insert.

[@monasux]

Hendra Pratama I think this song was used for the first Kara no Kyoukai movie! It’s their debut song too... truly phenomenal!

It was used for Fate/zero OP and maybe Fate/stay night UBW ED and also Arslan Senki ED

[@marli_xo9120]

Sadly this group already disbanded 😢 but I swear their neo classical songs are just too awesome.

[@cinnabuunn]

Finally, a Kalafina reaction! I've never hesrd a better blend of vocals than this group. I seriously recommend reacting to ARIA from the 10th anniversary live, and Hikari Furu from the 10th anniversary live. I'm excited for more♡

[@Sandra-bf9sv]

Oh I wait for someone to react to kalafina for a long time..... Sincerely hope more people do reaction to kalafina...They are so awesome...

[@snoringsnorlax2336]

Your reaction remind me of mine 11 years ago. For me, my first song is "Gloria" and "kagayaku Sora no shijima ni wa" from kuroshitsuji anime soundtrack. Then, I try to found who made it and got my self a way to Kalafina and Kajiura Yuki and Fiction Junction. Decide to hear "oblivious" yeah, that's awesome, grew on me, want to hear another one, hear "sprinter", " aria", come "red moon", " magia", "ongaku", watch their live concert, even more awesome. Next thing I know, I'm a canta per me. Their music is one of a kind, I hardly found other musician sounds like them. The epicness of the group vocal harmony, layered by classic-rock-synthetic band harmony is addicting. Heart broken of their disbandment, only to found, I can't hear them again live or another new Kalafina's music. Even if the member went solo and i support them, it's just not the same experience without Kalafina 😞😔😢😭

[@TheSeeking2know]

So you're on Canta-per-me. Cool.

[@Yukimurakim0994]

Kalafina have many many awsome songs. Their live sing skill always awsome. Check for more songs from them.

[@keepgoing3149]

KALAFINA'S LIRICA, MAGIA, TO THE BEGINNING, MANTEN, ARIA, YAMI NO UTAI basically everything. you should listen to their older songs too its all too beautiful to choose specific songs

[@flygonkerel781]

kalafina(and uki kajiura in general) are amazing!!! thanks for the reaction!!

[@cardcaptorsarah1992]

This is the video that made me subscribe. Kalafina is such perfection and I’m so happy to see you reacting to them. Yuki Kajiura (the creator, composer, lyricist, & producer) really had something special with Kalafina. Keiko, Wakana, & Hikaru have such beautiful voices that melt together perfectly and fit the music. I’m so sad they disbanded after their 10 year anniversary, but seeing people still discovering them makes me happy. Anyway, I suggest you react to Ongaku live. The song was a staple in their live performances. You always knew they were going to perform it and it always got the crowd pumped up. I think you’d enjoy it. :)

[@fabianmap]

WoW Thanks for reacting to Kalafina! I hope you enjoy and share more songs of this amazing group.

[@meguhoney]

Please react to kalafina - storia and magia

[@unohanafgc9430]

Let them react to Lirica they will be amazed at Keiko's notes plus the song is sooo beautiful!

[@mirdominance]

Thanks so much for reacting to my request. I've been curious to hear what you'd think of this kind of sound. Kalafina is very one of a kind and not many sound like them. I've yet to see anyone react to them. They are originally all separate vocalists under Yuki Kajiura (a famous Japanese music composer), but they came together to create one sound. If you want to here something a bit different try: ARIA/Sprinter medley [You get to hear some pretty drastic/vocal usages mixing classical sounds and some rock] kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYvcdql_fJiXfNE For more heavy/guitar rock feel, try Consolation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXnOpHWYrbGgiKc For a more theatrical feel, try Red Moon: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKW8eWmdqq2VeK8

[@RetiredInThailand]

Absolutely ... I know of only one other reaction to them, which I always assumed was just copyright issues ... Those are good choices. I might add this special version of Ongaku (lots of guest musicians and an upbeat song where everyone gets a spotlight.) kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5rVo5egg5xsmqs

[@forever1803]

Yes yes please react to them more. I would love to see more kalafina reactions.

more kalafina pliiss...Best song "To The Beginning"

[@nurijimenez07]

Kalafina 😍 you should react to Magia, Sprinter, Lirica, Kyrie, Hyakka Ryouran, Ongaku, Blaze or One Light, there are many songs that are so awesome. I love the harmony they have, and also because when they have a live the girls give everything on stage. I had the opportunity of going to the concert they offered on Mexico city and it was really awesome, I cried with some songs and sang during the whole concert. Oblivious is the song which I became their fan, so you guys started well!

[@Nao-uy6mj]

Thank you so much for reacting to them!!!!

[@elwenlie]

I dont know how long it has been since i first heard this song and fell in love with it, maybe its 13 years ? I was still on high school back then.. Oh man, after all these years, im still amazed by Kalafina live to bring this Oblivious song..

[@retroislandboy9708]

Kalafina was/is absolutely AMAZING . their music is unlike any other . every song is a fantasy world portrayed in music. the 3 ladies singing ...Keiko , Wakana and Hikaru ...their voices together are like angels singing. and its all composed and created by one amazing lady Yuki Kajiura :)

[@kireifebiyan541]

Please react Kalafina more. They are so good. So much musician.

[@hubyty]

Omg more react to kalafina please. I've been loving their songs since they debuted. I wouldn't discover them if it weren't for their composer kajiura yuki. I really love their style. I have never seen it anywhere aside from them. Too bad they disbanded now.

[@RetiredInThailand]

The first song I ever heard by them just shook my world, Hikari Furu, a very slow song, something I would normally not pay a lot of attention to, but by the time Wakana had the first measure of her vocals out I was a fan for life --- kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYncgYBtlqyHpKM) But make no mistake, these girls can rock as well. Here's a bit of an example of them kicking it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIXOl6eCpMtki9U The girls are: Wakana, the eldest at around 33/34. She usually handles the high operatic type vocals, with training in Japanese and western classical. Hikaru, she's a year or two younger than Wakana, and does a lot of the 'mid range' vocals, and has a Pop background Keiko, the youngest at around 30. She has the deeper voice and was brought up in a 'rock' tradntion. All that said, they can all sing pretty well any range needed for the song, and there is no real 'leader' in terms of 'main singer', they all get their songs and parts in songs .. this is an ensemble vocal group, and they do a lot of complicated harmonies where at times they are all singing a different counterpoint melody .. they are so F!!!!!!!ing amazing. The girls were brought together by a singer, songwriter, composer, arranger, producer, genius named Yuki Kajiura .. Yuki had to write and perform some music for some anime series and would put together the talent to perform her music for the shows from the best of the best in Japan... the music was so good that people demanded that they do live shows. so Kalafina became the result of that demand. Yuki Kajiura also did other bands as well (the Kalafina girls also participated in various combinations of those bands, along with other great female vocalists ... FictionJunction being another notable and incredible Yuki Kajiura variation of singers and songs.) Unfortunately Yuki Kajiura's contract with the company that owned Kalafina ended around end of 2017(?) and she didn't re-sign. THe Band remained together for a few months, but without their leader the girls decided to take some time off and maybe do some things on their own for a while (I hear Wakana is releasing a new solo album in March.) Fortunately, the output of this band and the various Yuki Kajiura creations are plentyfull, so anyone just finding them and wanting to see more, will be able to find a 'shyte-load of good music by these people.

[@LetTheBodyFall]

Thanks for this! There aren't really any reactions to them here (esp now that they've disbanded but hopefully they'll regroup once all of them are out of Spacecraft) but please react to more! Gogatsu no Mahou, Door, Fairytale, Red Moon (if it's still on yt) !

[@renefrijhoff2484]

Many, many and many thanks for this reaction video. The first one I encounter in the years that I know them. Also a fun fact: Officially Yuki Kaijura stated that there is no meaning behind the name Kalafina, however just by some weird coincident I discovered someone explaining a plausible meaning. In Romanian Kalafina means (shortened): Dark graceful goddesses.

[@chelaputri3123]

Thank you for kalafina reaction. their are one of my favourite group I really like their music and harmonization. can i make a request for fictionjunction song call yume no tsubasa live version too? some member of kalafina was in this group too thank you very much 😄

Finally...a reaction video to Kalafina

[@runemidgard938]

pure talent. no need to dance or show bodied to capture people. not to mention they sing it and their voice is exactly like in the song. hollywood artist cant do this

[@appleorange754]

If you like kalafina, please look at fictionjunction. It is another group created by kajiura yuki, the composer of kalafina. She is now working using fictionjunction. She published a new song with Lisa, but not the same kind of songs as kalafina usually do.

[@arsnakehert]

I bet classical musicians from the 18th century would vibe hard to this

[@davy209]

What makes Kalafina so great is that their overall sound is far different than the music that I’m accustomed to listening. It feels like contemporary opera to me and I know that does not do Justice to Kalafina’s catalogue. But I will say that their sound will never be duplicated by anyone! The sound is so unique it’s hard to put into words to be honest!

[@Pigonhe-l5m]

So what's the difference between 'fiction junction' and 'kalafina'? Both groups were produced by Yuki Kajiura.

[@mileimelle]

omg someone finalky reacted to Kalafina i could cry! please also watch their Consolation performance from the very same event. I know you guys love rock genre, they've got plenty of rock songs too and they are banging. here are some samples: destination unknown, mata kaze ga tsuyoku natta, hoshi no uta, magia

[@cikapratiwi674]

Thank you so much, really love you're reaction, pse do more like "Aria" and sprinter. And i suggest you to look fictionjunction "A song of strom and fire", an amazing performance...

[@renefrijhoff2484]

Yep, that's awesome too. Also by Yuki Kajiura and as far as I know Keiko Kubota should be still a member.

[@AmerQuran]

Kalafina is definitely from another dimension. No singer, no music, no performance could ever compare to them.

[@eliliu6404]

try fictionjuction - kaiga they are the same producer and composer, two of the kalafina members were in the group at that time. Kaiga is the song that u can see how the composer Wright a song in 4 different vocal range and come together and becomes a beautiful harmony. Kaiga means return with triumph after war, but in their version, it says about sad return.

[@xrrgr]

[@livingstonem10]

Your reactions are very similar to how most people react when watching the anime movies 'Kara no Kyoukai', which Kalafina starred in for musical dubbing purposes. As you both stated, you don't really 'get it' at first, but it eventually starts to make sense. It's interesting how similar your reaction to their song is able to translate to the anime they star in. Amazing anime btw, I'd recommend checking it out for anyone who hasn't already.

[@Kyouki]

Thank you so much for reacting to Kalafina!! ;; One Light, consolation, 五月の魔法 (Gogatsu no Mahou), Lacrimosa and Heavenly Blue were all great for their 9+ONE live! I'll always recommend reacting to their live performances instead of their music videos owo Link to the 9+ONE full live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZKnZX14eJaUeas ----- These are the songs in more detail (how the songs sound to me): One Light is a more fast-paced, hopeful-sounding and adventure-like song consolation is kinda fast paced but sounds mysterious and kinda has a lamenting undertone 五月の魔法 (Gogatsu no Mahou) is a serene, hopeful song Lacrimosa is a dark, mysterious song that also sounds sad Heavenly Blue sounds kinda noble (reminds me of a noble mission?), and happy in some parts ----- [[Sorry for the long suggestion and the vague description of the songs!! Best way to find out is to listen to them XD]]

[@latifahtipo1824]

try to react to Aria and Consolation those were my favorite songs by Kalafina

[@ivansherbinin]

I think "Adore" would make a better fit describing the harmony capabilities of this band :) also "Lirica" - an amazing composition but a bit "darker". 7:00 I was listening to Kalafina for the last 7 years almost exclusively. After meeting their music it took several years before I could listen to anything else. Because they are so good and so different from anything else I new back than. Till today I cannot stand Guns'n'Roses, my favorite band at that time, for more than two minutes - it's not even remotely on Kalafina level. They don't carry any soul. And their live performances - shit :). My first Kalafina reaction was to Magia. 7 years ago I thought that it was a fake "live" performance and also the song is kind'a flat (took me 10 iterations before I "got" this song. I'd said it's one of my favorites now but it's impossible to have a favorite Kalafina song). After realizing the performance was real, I switched my pants and fell in love with the band. Also the solo in Magia - if you are well equipped - just breathtaking. Same with the "break down" parts of Kizuato, Aria and Fairytale. Every time I listen to those songs I can't breathe for several seconds during the "high ends". I think you should definitely try Ongaku - the song is fucking bananas. And Serenato - that song completely runs out of rails. The key things of Kalafina - crazy good performances, thoughtful compositions, and the variety. Unlike AC/DC you won't find more than three songs that are alike :)

[@nurijimenez07]

Ivan Sherbinin the performance of Lirica of the 10th anniversary blows my mind! Red moon, Adore, Magia, Lacrimosa, Lirica, Kyrie, Consolation and Kagayaku sora no shijima ni wa have that "dark" sound :3

[@steemlenn8797]

As far as I know it was a problem not with Kajiura but with the music company, after 10 years of contract were over the girls didn't like the offered new contracts and one wanted to go solo anyway (which alone would not have been a showstopper, Kalafina was never a band that was together all the time).

[@YueLi-vw4rg]

@@steemlenn8797 It is hard to say anything about it. Although it was seemingly a business issue, it can also refer to personal connections between the master (kajiura) and students (kalafina and fictionjunction members), especially in an East Asian country. The issue started from Kajiura initially leaving the company while kalafina still staying at the company, which meant that kalafina might not gain as much support (practical or emotional ) as before. The disbanding of Kalafina was just a matter of time.
