@grunty: at least they included the intro MC last time. it's so unreasonable of them to cut it out this time.

As long as they have the musicians MC... 
To be honest, I can see Sony doing that anyway. They've already done a billion different PR things for Kala in just three years...

Re:
Haha, tbh the way they promote Kalafina is so idol-ish. MOOK (which is a perfect reason as mini photobook), different types of release. They make my collection turns into this:
this is not even complete collection.
That kind of promotion is almost idol level, you know.

Maybe because Kalafina's level now is an "almost-idolish-famous" anime singer... Not many anime singer that can make it to top 10 on Oricon chart nowadays. Although Kalafina is not a 100% anime singer, though. After all, Kalafina's single and album sold well enough for a not-mainstream artist. Magia is #151 on single of the year, reach #1 on Billboard Anime Chart Japan, and so on. Magia total sales is almost 50k too. And After Eden is on #191 on album of the year according to Oricon, iirc. So it's normal for Sony to make Kalafina even more famous than before, especially with the great reception for F/Z season 1, of course SME's expectation is to earn more money from Kalafina, because Kalafina is an-already-famous anime singer and F/Z is really popular there.

Blame it all to Kusony greediness that wants to earn more money from Kalafina, because maybe Kalafina is one of their most-successful artist from not-mainstream/idol side, and they targeted people who doesn't really fond of idols, like some of us here (no offense to idol-lovers :D)

Re:
They are more like cosplayers with angelic voice to me, I don't mind Sony doing it this way because Kalafina did ATELIER‐PIERROT justice "especially to fangirls stand point" and they damn well look gorgeous on it.
As long as they aren't selling like SNSD of Korea I have no complains.
Yuki can fix that if she give us FJ club outside of Japan
@Zoa, come what is your famous line again on K-Pop Idols?

Re: Re:
