The lyrics to "Finale" by Kalafina hold a deep emotional meaning as the song speaks about the desire to transcend limitations and achieve true freedom. The opening lines, "Sing to cross over the night, your and my sky's melody," portray the idea of breaking through the darkness and reaching for something greater. The repetition of "your and my" emphasizes the unity between the singer and the listener, emphasizing the shared desire for liberation.
The next line, "I wait for the sound of the beginning, the ultimate creation," highlights the anticipation for a new beginning and the hope that comes with it. The word "ultimate" suggests that this creation will surpass anything that has come before, implying a transformative experience. The following verse speaks of the search for truth and the longing to connect with something higher, as the melody searches for an answer in the sky.
Overall, "Finale" speaks to the human desire for freedom, transformation, and higher understanding. The symbolic imagery of the sky and melody evoke a sense of transcendence and spiritual expansion.

Nanairo no finale
A flicker of hope is tying us all together it leads towards the future, into the light The rainbow coloured tomorrow we envisioned leads towards the future, into the light
I hold our chosen promises and fresh green seeds born from abandoned hearts high up to the blue sky Together with you
Fragments of a dream someone left behind lead towards the future, into the light Let’s talk about our shared dreams They will lead to our future, I swear
Lalala Laughter Lalala as well as tears Let’s embrace both and walk onwards Towards the seven coloured finale that was played amidst the sky By yourself you are leading the way ahead to the future
Towards a kind and gentle world that is ours alone where the colours of a quiet and fresh spring are vibrant and even earth itself is singing
Look up! Faraway…Believe the light
The farewell to tomorrow that we believed in yesterday is shining down upon us My heart is singing a song I wonder if it will reach you…
Lalala…
Lalala…
Lalala…
Lalala…
Lalala…
Lalala…
Let’s make our wishes bloom and head towards a world that belongs to us binding our future together

Keiko, she never ages <3
I think we should all give her a chance to show her full range. We usually know her as the bass of Kalafina and FictionJunction, but we tend to forget that she has a versatile range.

Thank you!
She has pop, rock, maybe a little light jazz, and a little classical-like vocaliztions (like in Kalafina) in her. She's in a space where she can experiment and enjoy making music
I personally want her to break away from being pigeon-holed as the singer of low notes in Kalafina, which might really work for that symphonic rock/ classical style (singing in chorus) but not for solo pop music so much.

Female "bass" is called contralto, and Keiko's range is just that. She's got a great one as well and a beautiful voice to top off.

@Olatunde Fajimi Agree! I wished to see her sing in symphonic rock song.

I love that she is experimenting as well, but if you watched her live (non edited ver.) you can see she is struggling a lot with notes too high for her, she's still a contralto, should explore her possibilities but respecting her limits, same if a soprano tried singing as low as her... My concern is that she eventually end up damaging her voice. Other than that I'm really happy for her and hope to listen her voice for many years!
