KICM-1311: Ido e Itaru Mori e Itaru Ido / Sound Horizon

[Don]

English and Romaji tracklists I found on a random forum. Feel free to clean up the translation if it's not entirely accurate. As for the composer, I changed it from Sound Horizon to Revo, as he is the one who composes/arranges the music.

I held off on adding Motoi Sakuraba and Marty Friedman as performers. When I get the CD in the mail, I'll be sure to update the list with everyone.

[Datschge]

Yea, the performer list is especially long on the live page and it's not really clear yet how much of that also applies to the CD so waiting is better.

[Don]

Yeah, I do know those two are on the CD (as it mentions it on the CD release section), but I'd imagine that YUUKI, KAORI, REMI, Haruka Shimotsuki, Mari Endou, and MIKI are still the singers of the group, in addition to Revo (using a moniker like he always does) and possibly JIMANG. Jake Saito is probably a guitarist as well. Luckily, Sound Horizon albums and singles tend to have all the performance credits in English, so that really helps out a bunch there.

For those interested, here's a preview of one of the songs from the single:

Edited the performer notes based on this:

Please note that the MIKI in this production is not the same MIKI that Tenpei Sato normally uses in his vocal themes.

I added the performer credits in the notes. I've only added Marty Friedman, Motoi Sakuraba, and Gen Ittetsu Strings (even though the breakdown is given) to the performer line because I'm not sure what the/if there is a limit in the Performer line.

[Secret Squirrel]

The limit is pretty high - 2000 characters or so. If we bump up against that, I'll just raise it again.

[Cedille]

I'm not really familiar with this unit, but like other performers, is Sakuraba also now seen as part of Sound Horizon? I think this kind of "a solo project + others" is a bit tricky to handle (such as FictionJunction).

[Don]

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure if we should consider either Friedman or Sakuraba as part of this unit. If they appear in the next album due out this fall, I might consider that a possibility. This isn't the first time Sakuraba as worked with Sound Horizon though (Atelier Iris Grand Fantasm participation as well)

EDIT: Added other performers, but left Gen Ittetsu Strings as is, without individualizing. I think the people could be added to the Gen Ittetsu Strings page though.

Is Märchen von Friedhof something we should link as an alias of Revo?

Based on my shallow reading on Wikipedia, I wonder if Revo is a sole member of the current Sound Horizon, but is there any release where those musicians are just credited as "Sound Horizon" without individual names? (if not, I still know there is another entry where we include guest/support musicians, so it might be our customary way).

[Don]

Whenever Revo releases an album in which he participates as a singer, he always credits himself as the character that he is portraying. It all depends on the album. Thus far, he's been known as:

Hiver Laurant
Shaytan
Thanatos
Elefseus
Märchen von Friedhof

As for your reading, that is correct. Although many vocalists/musicians have participated in multiple albums, the only member who is constant is Revo.

Short question concerning the 'Gen Ittetsu Strings' credits:
When 'Vla' is Viola, 'Vc' is Violoncello, then what is Cb?

EDIT: My current guess is Contrabass / double bass.
