A quick message. Phantasmagoria 「幻想曲~Eternal Silence~」 / 「Gensoukyoku ~Eternal Silence~」

A message to my readers:
Hey guys!
So I did say that  I was going to do more reviews, I just wasn't sure when they'd be able to go up right?
Well, I was able to get this one up today, obviously, and I'm going to try to get another one up tomorrow... but don't count on it.
I'm going to try to do at least one every two days or so. If I can do more, the EVEN BETTER!!!!
If not, then I'm sorry, but my studies do have to come first...
See you soon hopefully!

And now for the review:

This has to be my most favorite slow song from Phantasmagoria!! The whole concept that this song portrays is just beautiful! Riku's voice manages to to be soft, yet strong, and the lyrics are very meaningful. The instruments compliment Riku's voice very well, loud when they need to be, but not overwhelmingly so that Riku's voice gets lost in them.

Riku's English is a  little hard to understand...
I thought he was saying something like "I will shatter" when it really was "I wish heaven"
and I had no clue what he was saying in the end.

Until I found the lyrics and found out he's saying "I will look at flower" and keeps repeating "flower".
But this song is too good to complain about those things.
Now I do know what he's saying in English... it just has a slightly heavier accent since , obviously, English isn't his native language. :P


The video itself is also fitting to the song, and the band's visual effect is really, really, good looking.

Anyways, here's the song for you to all enjoy!!

Unfortunately, Phantasmagoria is no longer a band. Even so, the bass Kisaki and the Vocalist Riku have collaborated into another band called 凛~the end of corruption world~ or just 凛. They are a really good band, and some of their songs do sound similar to what Phantasmagoria's songs did. I suppose it does make sense since Kisaski and Riku are both in the band, but it also shows that they, or at least one of them, are/were the lyrical and instrumental composers of the music.It's nice in a way because Phantasmagoria music lives inside 凛 now. So it hasn't died!! :D

Unfortunately, it seems that you are not able to get this song anymore... unless it is available on i-tunes or something of the similar sort.... :(

Well, I should be going,

さぁ

またねぇ!!

アマンダ
