You can always see Yuki Kajiura having so much fun when performing. She's always smiling from behind her piano. Like she knows she chose the perfect people to sing her songs, just the way she wanted them. :D It's moving and awesome.
open your heart to eternal dimension open your heart for love and affection open your heart your every emotion open your heart for tears and rejection come to the grace of heaven's eternal fantasy come to the grace of earthly devoted harmony
Yeah that head movement was so cute like she was really telling them the lyrics. Kaori is really good at that kind of audience interaction - she's the best of this group.
Saw this at AX2012 live, was amazing. It was particularly good because the entire audience actually stood up for this song and "participated" and also got the singers to respond -- everyone opened their hearts in a sense.
That's awesome man. I've listened to this concert so many times in my life and Yuki helped me get through them. This concert is special to me and I've seen it so much, what I am certain on is that there was magic in the air, everyone was not just pinpoint on it that day, but were in total harmony with eachother. Kajiura seemed to have some ease in her mood, a lack of tension, I wonder and fear if modern day she's lost spirit.
Lyrics to Open Your Heart: Open your heart To eternal dimension Open your heart For love and affection Open your heart Your every emotion Open your heart For tears and rejection Come to the grace Of heaven's eternal fantasy Come to the grace Of earthly devoted harmony
This is seriously the prettiest song I've ever heard. This live version is amazing as well. It's not very often that the live version of a song can capture the same emotion as the studio recording. Good job guys! :D
3:22 My favorite part of the song as they all come in singing the same words so it’s powerful. 4:18 This part too, with the voices together. ❤ 5:50 The voices, the slowdown led by the drums, and Kaori’s charisma and tracking the drum’s final heavy hit with her hand movement. Kaori loves performing. No shyness it seems.
Always will remind me of 2007, riding the city bus to university everyday. I had an hour to kill on the bus everyday and I LOVED listening to the .Hack OST
Something happens to Kaori's voice when she sings the "tion'' bits in "redemption" and "emotion" at 1:12 and 1:32 that makes her sound eerily like Wakana.. ;) I just adore how versatile she is.. :)
You are right! Kaori was having fun with her vocal tone in that entire vocal line, just switching and modifying her vowels. That's why I enjoy her doing separate dual-harmonies with Keiko (low notes and weighty belts), light and fragile high notes with Yuriko Kaida, and now she mimics Wakana too. I still say that my favorite 3-part harmony in FJ is Yurioo-Keiko-Kaori, because of the blend.
1:55 See Keiko looking towards Kajiura and smiling. When Kajiura returns with a grin, Keiko seems to feel a little shy/embarrassed and turns towards Kaori; maybe she was feeling emotional because she touches her eye as if wiping away a tear. That was a touching interaction. 2:06 Keiko and Kaori turn to Konno Hitoshi on the violin and notice how Kaori (and immediately) Keiko both start to dance with the groove rather than just swaying as they'd been doing. Nice transition to give attention and connection to the solo/music. This is why I say Keiko was often attentive of responsive to Kaori's movements and vibe in this live. It's part of that sisterly tendency I think Keiko naturally exhibits, which reflects in her capacity to duet/harmonize with guest singers (LiSA, Aimer, etc), by adapting to their movements as well as their vocals. 2:11 Yuriko Kaida seems influenced also and starts to dance more intentionally instead of just swaying, while Wakana smiles and starts to move more with that head movement side to side. Kaori totally changed the singers' energy on stage! 3:45 Giving attention to Korenaga Koichi's solo. 4:03 As Kaori and Keiko go on a total dance off to Korenaga's playing, Wakana has this cute/funny head toss dance she's doing! She definitely improved in her dancing cues as the years went by. I personally think Kaori's presence in these early years influenced the others to be more expressive and engaging with the audience (just my thought from this first live) in a deliberate way, since she was so good at that being so young. See how she kept gazing into the audience.
If I'm given a chance, I would actually court Yuki Kajiura and ask her to make a song for me when I get married and ask this lovely ladies to sing for my magical dream to get married!!!
they're coming to my state anime convention. I MUST FREAKING SEE THEM. I MUST. my favorite artist is yuki kajiura, her compositions are amazing. I've never related to anything else so much in my whole life
I really want to hear a concert of yuki songs for real T-T fictionjuction or kalafina, I want the two... theire voices are so perfect in live, their are so pretty too... and the music is sublime, Konno ! I love you ^^
this song is one of my fav kajiura's song. it such a nice song with a nice lyric also eventhough the song is simple, but it's really....nice! Open your heart To eternal dimension Open your heart For love and affection Open your heart For every emotion Open your heart For tears and rejection Come to the grace Of heaven's eternal fantasy Come to the grace Of earthly devoted harmony
Thanks to hundreds thousands of anime episodes i finally partially understand what they are saying and it feels good. Would like to really learn japanese someday, such a beautiful language.
OMG I freaking love you man! I've looked for this version of the song forever! Peoples! We must keep this hush hush, kk? That way we can keep good music here!
I obviously came here for Yuki Kajiura, but that lead singer is unbelievable!!! Incidentally, very surprising that Yuki does not use a Japanese keyboard! I did notice a Yamaha Pacifica though...
ahhh how i miss young Kaori. She, along with Keiko, was so cheerful and high-spirited, contrast to the calm anego Yuriko Kaida. she was also high-spirited in Sanhora's Roman...... the last time i remember seeing Kaori, she wasn't this cheerful, both in YK live and in Sanhora's live. well i didn't check her solo works yet....
Kaori was a ball of energy and expression. Very Charismatic and had the vocal chops to back it up. I wonder where she's from in Japan. Her work in Sound Horizon is what made me know her quality as a performer and vocalist, when on the same stage as heavyweights like REMI, RIKKI, Mari Endou, Haruka Shimotsuki, and MIKI Masuda (my personal favorite). I realized she was much more than just the belter in Fiction Junction. Revo's vocal requirements are a bit more demanding in terms of stamina, role playing, character work, vocal range and stylistic / genre variance for each singer. Yuki Kajiura's work is more complex harmonically. I mean Kaori singing virtually the whole of "The Endia Knights" (not sure if that's the correct name, or at least all the leads ALL BY HERSELF, was a great feat on its own. Her magnus opus in my view is her performance of "Miezaru Ude”. She explored her range and dynamics and expression in an all-out energetic performance.
I was at the AX concert also, yea there should have been a dvd but its cool if there isnt. You can Buy this song as well as others on iTunes. I was sitting in the front row standing up half of the time it was pretty epic.
this music is thought provoking. you dont go to the club for thought provoking, you come here. it all makes sense and its all okay. also there are sometimes popular songs with some good lyrics
No i was on the far left side facing the stage last row of the front row section. I say you should have stood up the whole time. I should have also but unfortunately i didn't, I doubt anyone would have really cared in the end.
speaking of the AX concert, does anyone else think there should be a dvd release of that concert? they made one for the miku concert last year, and the concert this year was freakin awesome.
were you on the right side? I remembered there was this guy who was on the right side, wearing a red shirt. he stood the entire time and got into the music. I would have stood as well but sadly people behind me got mad lol....oh well still didnt stop me from enjoying it.
You can always see Yuki Kajiura having so much fun when performing. She's always smiling from behind her piano. Like she knows she chose the perfect people to sing her songs, just the way she wanted them. :D It's moving and awesome.
I enjoy watching the lives to see her smile.
Kaori's charisma is all over the stage and made this performance more memorable than it might have been otherwise.
open your heart
to eternal dimension
open your heart
for love and affection
open your heart
your every emotion
open your heart
for tears and rejection
come to the grace
of heaven's eternal fantasy
come to the grace
of earthly devoted harmony
バイオリンもエレキも、そして当然、歌姫も素晴らしい。また、この夜のよう世の中が来て欲しい。そんな願いが一層強くなった。五分すぎのハイトーンのコーラス、本当に素晴らしい。生で、もう一度聞くまでは、絶対・・・・・。
I absolutely love the little head nod Kaori does at 1:23 It's like she's really in the rhythm and charismatic in getting the audience immersed.
Yeah that head movement was so cute like she was really telling them the lyrics. Kaori is really good at that kind of audience interaction - she's the best of this group.
多重の構成力という面において、梶浦氏は本当にすごいと思います。

Dot Hack Sign has such a good soundtrack

四人とも感動する歌声で…泣きそうになるね。サントラと声変わらないとこもすごいけど、バイオリンもすげぇ
3:22 My favorite part of the song as they all come in singing the same words so it’s powerful.

5:50 The voices, the slowdown led by the drums, and Kaori’s charisma and tracking the drum’s final heavy hit with her hand movement.
Kaori loves performing. No shyness it seems.
Its one thing to hear a recording, but to hear an actual performance live... absolutely astounding.
still loving .hack and it’s amazing ost in 2020 😢 the feels i get from this song 😭
KAORI is so cute,and the chorus is amazing. I didn't notice about this song before,but I found it more and more enchanting after listening many times.
I listen to this song at least three times a day. That and Angel Gate. They are both really beautiful songs that I am absolutely addicted to.
Kaori's voice is always awesome.
for real, although I like all of the singers, Kaori is easily my fav out of the four
Kaori is precious 🥺❤️
Dang! Yuriko at 5:05 and ~5:20, Transcendant!
QuinKilkziard unearthly
Always.
Always will remind me of 2007, riding the city bus to university everyday. I had an hour to kill on the bus everyday and I LOVED listening to the .Hack OST
Is amazing! I love this song specially the Yuki Kajiura's style, she knows how to make magic with the music.
I can hardly watch this without tearing up, this song is pure bliss and nothing but.

I can't believe I didn't realize that until now, I really think she shed a couple of tears at that moment :´)
I totally understood the reason why this song was chosen before an encore…. United heart.
If I'm given a chance, I would actually court Yuki Kajiura and ask her to make a song for me when I get married and ask this lovely ladies to sing for my magical dream to get married!!!
I'm sure they could do a song for you for a reasonable price assuming you live in Japan.
The harmonies are so sweet, listening to Kajiura's singers is such a treat.
This is one trippy song. Feels really good to listen to it while inebriated.
beautiful ... I hope YT doesn't take down this
I love Kaori's voice :D
She's amazing 😍
I think I am madly in love with Kaori Oda. I'm sure I'm not the only one...
Beautiful in all possible ways.
Absolutely breathtaking, couldnt help the goosebumps the entire song.
Open your heart, spirit and most importantly.. your ears !!
The world needs a Yuki Kajiura and Yuko Suzuhana collab.
The world can't handle that kind of awesomeness! But I can!
they're coming to my state anime convention. I MUST FREAKING SEE THEM. I MUST. my favorite artist is yuki kajiura, her compositions are amazing. I've never related to anything else so much in my whole life

Ryan Clemens DUDE
Ryan Clemens SOULMATE
Siempre vuelvo cada año a ver esta obra maestra. Kajiura sos grosa!!
I love it how when they sync, you almost cant distinguish wakana's voice from yuriko and keiko's to kaori like at 3:21-3:40
Oh I love this piece and the singers. Why won't they come to the UK, WHY? I will see them live and I will go to one Animelo concert before I die.
Goosebumps when the violin came in!
Kaori is so beautiful AND talented... its not really fair.
*disgruntled fist pump*
Thanks to hundreds thousands of anime episodes i finally partially understand what they are saying and it feels good. Would like to really learn japanese someday, such a beautiful language.
still beautiful! 'Key of the Twilight' also is so good!
Damn what amazing song of course great performance!
Finally I found it :D I forgot the name and searched everywhere and now...I got it :DD Majestic song!
I was there also! It is a beautiful song, it has moved my soul! ^_^
And now Aura is finally awake :)
Open my heart? Ladies, when you sing this song this beautifully I will do anything you want me to. =)
In my opinion...Yuki Kajiura heard to the best musicans ever.....sorry for little mistakes in my english
I LOVE YURIKO !!!
Hat to brag... But I had th opportunity to see them live at Anime Expo.
Essa é a minha versão preferida!! A Yuki e o grupo Kalafina são tudo! Essa música é simplesmente linda e a letra ainda mais!!
magnifique live, comme toujours, la partie instrumentale au violon au début est simplement parfaite.
OMG I freaking love you man! I've looked for this version of the song forever! Peoples! We must keep this hush hush, kk? That way we can keep good music here!
THIS IS TOTALLY AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
Can we have Yuki Kajiura sensei to do a concert in SG pls? >w
I love the guitar part
I obviously came here for Yuki Kajiura, but that lead singer is unbelievable!!!
Incidentally, very surprising that Yuki does not use a Japanese keyboard! I did notice a Yamaha Pacifica though...

Wonderful song and wonderful singers.
The concert at AX was AWESOME!
O Christe Eleison = O Christ, have mercy
Kyrie Eleison,
Hosanna in Excelsis
O Lord, have mercy,
Hosanna in the highest (literally in high places)
I know it's been years since you commented this, but can you tell what they're saying after Christe Eleison? Sounds like "Matello" or something.
@@SyoaranBarker Aeterno?
There are ALL REAL Angels on the stage!!!
This is just ... No ... Words can't describe it! IT'S GODLIKE! :D
SO BEAUTIFUL. T_T
This is the best version of this song...
That is what i like with live because it does give a new dimension of the song ^^
I just love this song !!!^^
My gratitude to you for the share ^^

This is amazing! I never knew that Yuki Kajiura performed live! Must find this DVD! :)
THUNDER RAIN AND LI- Oops wrong Open Your Heart

Isn't Kaori ever so pretty at 3:03?.. :)
Fuck yes she is :D
I love when she dances at 4:35 ♥ :D
Yeah, just a slightly different kind of girls night out for them, hey?.. ;)
I like Kaori's outfit here, this gauntlet is great.
No i was on the far left side facing the stage last row of the front row section. I say you should have stood up the whole time. I should have also but unfortunately i didn't, I doubt anyone would have really cared in the end.
太棒辽！第一次听就被惊艳到了
wonderfull... i really like this song.. one of the best songs from them!! I love it hearing the songs live
Magical..❤
One word: Breathtaking!
Damn Groups of angel Im fly in the melody . . . .

This is awesome!
yuki is so adorable
beautiful song,
were you on the right side? I remembered there was this guy who was on the right side, wearing a red shirt. he stood the entire time and got into the music. I would have stood as well but sadly people behind me got mad lol....oh well still didnt stop me from enjoying it.
