~~Sound Horizon~~
omgomgomgomgomgomg! Tell you ever since I heard a combined performance by Kajiura Yuki and Sound Horizon, a song which goes by the name of Sajin No Kanata E, I have been absolutely, 100%-ly, definitely hooked onto Sound Horizon. I really really really <3>
Just a little background on Sound Horizon...sry had to get it from wiki cause i can't read japanese for nuts...so it might not be too accurate.
Anyway just a little brief intro abt them. They're a Japanese musical group also known as Sanhora by fans and we have Revo as their leader. Not surprisingly they call themselves the 'fantasy band' which I find really suits their kind of songs...if you're an avid listener of their songs you would definitely know what i mean =] If you are not...GO CHECK IT OUT!! Revo-Sama(sry my friend influenced me into calling him tt) first released his music creations on his webby in 1990s (gosh tt was when I was born). Sound Horizon participated in Comic Market(or Comiket: the world's largest handmade comic book fair) as part of a doujin circle and that was when their first story CD ~Chronicle~ was released. It was an all-instrumental track CD with occasional narraation, background chorus + sound effects. Only in their second album (Thanatos) onwards did they begin to include actual singing. Their first major release was in 2004: Elysion ~Rakuen e no Zensōkyoku~ (lit. Elysion ~Prelude to Paradise~)
To date they have 6 Doujin albums, 6 Major released albums and 4 Collaboration albums.
