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。
@TheSeeking2know
Kaori's charisma is all over the stage and made this performance more memorable than it might have been otherwise.
@courtneycolvin6226
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.
@TheSeeking2know
I enjoy watching the lives to see her smile.

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・・・・・。
@bluejjay
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.
@TheSeeking2know
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.
