BRIGHT STREAM Preview

Okay, first off I'm not going to compare this to ETERNAL BLAZE, because in my opinion that is a very silly thing to do. They are two different beautiful songs that are both used to represent the same story, that is, the story of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's. So in my opinion the interesting thing is, does BRIGHT STREAM fit Nanoha A's as well as ETERNAL BLAZE does?

Yes, I think it does.

METRO BAROQUE PV in Full~

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! (<- I said that in similar fashion as Nana in Zankou no Gaia) I have been so eagerly waiting for the full version after the amazing preview came out and finally it's here! I was going to post this entry yesterday, but due to an excessive amount of morning shifts at work I couldn't stay awake and had to succumb to sleep. But here it is now! Enjoy my rambling after the PV itself (and of course, enjoy the PV).

METRO BAROQUE PV preview

So yeah, a preview of the METRO BAROQUE PV has been released!

I was going to wait for the full PV before I write anything about it, but yeaaah, no way I could wait that long. The preview was way too awesome for me to keep quiet about it. xD

ONE

Okay so, I am trying to write more often like I said I would...  so to follow my METRO BAROQUE entry, here is one about, well, ONE! I was really itching to hear a longer version of this, since the very short preview that was available before was really pretty and the lyrics really moved me.

Needless to say that when I heard the longer version, I really liked it. There's one part of ONE that is really interesting with all those random noises in the background, makes me feel like they depict memories and I actually think that part of their purpose is to awaken memories of the listener too. Like the clink of a swing (well that's what it sounds like to me anyway), does give me quite a nice nostalgic feeling. Also, I think it's pretty great how at first glance all these songs on TIME SPACE EP seem very different and like a pretty mixed bunch, but when you sit down and have a proper listen, they do seem to fit together. There is something that connects them all together, just can't quite put my finger on what it is though. Maybe the piano?  Well in any case, I can't say anything about PARTY! PARTY! yet since I haven't heard it, but I am sure it will fit along with the rest too. This is Nana we're talking about after all!

Also, before I end this post - have you seen the Blood C The Last Dark trailer that has METRO BAROQUE on it? Yes? No? Maybe so? Well, here it is just in case:

METRO BAROQUE

Yes! Finally got to hear METRO BAROQUE last night after I came home - definitely a great way to end a really good day. ^^ 

Man this song is really, classy. I have to say I am really in love with the piano in this song.  I think it was a really brilliant move to have piano be dominant and the violin in a lesser role in METRO BAROQUE, and having it the other way in Junketsu Paradox. It really makes all the difference in the atmosphere. Where the violin made Junketsu Paradox sound more traditional, the piano in METRO BAROQUE gives it a modern contemporary twist. It actually does make it feel very metropolitan and makes me think of the lights of the city, dark alleyways with strangers smoking on the street - which is very fitting considering how Blood-C The Last Dark is taking place in the city. Just like Junketsu Paradox fit the series with its more traditional feel.
