Sound Horizon Triumph DVD Preview

I seem to be having a fascination with Sound Horizon at the moment . . . and while I'm at it, here's a preview of their DVD Triumph, a concert which I think looks visually awesome!

空の境界 Movie DVD Trailer

A novel written and illustrated by the team that formed TYPE-MOON, the artwork and design of Kara no Kyoukai bears resemblance to other TYPE-MOON productions such as Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime, especially the latter as they are regarded to be set in the same world. It has been recently adapted into a movie series with 7 chapters, featuring music by Kajiura Yuki (Tsubasa Chronicles, Noir etc.) and well known VAs such as Sakamoto Maaya (Haruhi in Ouran Host Club), Suzumura Kenichi (Lavi in D.Gray-Man), Tanaka Rie (Lacus Clyne in Gundam SEED) as well as Noto Mamiko (Enma Ai in Jigoku Shoujo).

As I'm too lazy to do a synopsis, I shall let the trailers below do the talking! If only they could bring it into theaters here . . .

Sound Horizon - Sacrifice

Deviating from the ordinary jpop/rock songs, the live performance of Sacrifice brings a sort of artistic touch to the song, reminiscent of a musical. Although I was less than impressed by the high pitch of the vocalist initially, her performance eventually grew on me and I especially like the build-up to the climax of the story. Do give it a watch if you want to hear/watch something different!



Another song I like from them is called 'Asa to yoru no monogatari', featuring Revo, Kaori and Yuuki if I'm not wrong. Hard to tell with the wigs XD



And yet another song with dramatic acting, 'Ark'. Aramary's voice seems pretty high pitched as always, thankfully it does not seem that bad in the album version.
