Maaya Sakamoto Radio Live, who heard it?

Post by **dillpops** » 2004-04-02 20:04

I did and I have to say, these are my favourite versions of the songs performed EVER! Especially 'Makiba Alice'! it was done superbly and the violinist was...just...incredible. The best maaya has ever sung live, she's really improved her vocals and the strength of her voice since those other live videos like '24' etc.

Which song did you like?

I did.

I guess my favourite was/is either Danieru or Tune the Rainbow... That's probably because I'm most familiar with those two songs (out of the ones that were performed).

I agree, Maaya has improved a lot!

Do you mean the shounen alice unplugged???

I really hope you don't because i would love another performance like those XDDDDDDDDD

When the recordings were released i did not get enough of them; i find them all very good; but being more specific i loved the kingfisher girl guitar, and the acoustic uchuu no uta!

And the comments are very cute, tough i must admit, that sometimes i don't understand what sakamoto san is saying ^x^...

From her voice tuning: "feel you eyes of malice... burn a hole into heaven... cof cof... burns like gasoline... gasoline... " <-- more or less, i am very fond of this little piece she sings (acappella version anyone?). And the cast is presented in a original way (each with a different instrument, i assume they play).

I have to agree on the instrument play, for a live performance, they really outdid themselves to the degree that sometimes i like how did they played live, instead of the normal way. And of wich, sometimes i can't distinguish when it was live or if it was recorded!... (until i know they play even better live XD).

As for the othe live performances, can you tell me more about them?... i think i have some recordings, but no info on them ><. Or did you mean the videos of escaflowne live?? In either case, sakamoto san has really improved

EDIT: Im sorry... i don't want to bother with big posts ><

Hi!
Well, I really loved Tune the Rainbow and Makiba Alice. The violin in Makiba Alice was really the best. And can somebody translate me what they're saying at 35min46s, after Kingfisher girl? They all start laughing and I feel really stupid since I don't understand a word of that part :oops:

Heh - Makiba Alice is actually my favourite song on the album, together with Kingfisher Girl.
But my favourite song from Unplugged was... Tune The Rainbow, I'd say (they were all very good, though ^_^).

@bazaa: can't help you, unfortunately, my Japanese is verrrry limited (ehhh, very little vocabulary and just hiragana ^.^;

Hi! My favourite one was Tune the rainbow.. cause it's just an impressive version, it's really different from the original and the firts time I heard it I cried...
About the a capella version o Danieru ^^ I really really like how her voice sounded there.. it's amazing

oh yeah, the unplugged versions are great. i really like the guitar at the beginning of kingfisher girl. my favs are makiba alice and tune the rainbow, though

and yeah she has improved. but she still has to get better a bit :-D

Post by **Megumi** » 2004-05-09 21:02

Yes she has problem with her voice, when she sing in concert it's not very beautiful because her voice is not "stable" (I don't know if it is the good word...) and she can't sing high.
But well she can just sing like she does, but I'm sure she can sing higher ^^

mood · Post by **mood** » 2004-05-10 11:38

oh i also don't know how to use the right words, but i know what you mean, meg.
but her voice is beautiful anyway. and thank god there are studio recordings, ne?

I love these recordings, I must listen to them once a day. I agree that makiba alice was not one of my favourites at all, but after hearing unplugged I got hooked to it and now its one of my favourites.

the problem with maaya is she sings VERY quietly, a bit like emily curtis (whats it for). That means that she gets a very soft accurate pure voice on record.....live it doesn't translate as well. Although she sang louder in the radio live versions, she still sang very quietly. The loudest she sang was impromptu makiba alice in one fo the interview sessions, after some kanno prompting I believe o_o

So yeah....very very quiet singer.....must be hell for the people who set up the PA systems on live gigs :|

My favourite is hikari are XD Especially with yoko kanno counting in o_o;
