I think I've seen the live performances of Ave Maria and Luna Piena before.

Wow. A DVD. I thought her songs were not meant for live performances because there are so many vocal layers in it. :ayashii:

I thought the same. Those HATS music fes "live" videos of Luna piena and AVE MARIA are terrible, IMHO. We just have to wait and see for ourselves how this DVD turns out. The setlist is definitely nice though.

There were no official reports from this concert AFAIK so here's some links with reports for her older lives.

2010 Pantalea

2011 LAYLANIA
http://oh-news.net/live/?p=110859&page=2

The only 2 live I could find are from the HATS music fest.

Grunty, any chance you have any links/vids of the lives for pantalea and laylania? =D

It's so hard to find info of her lives/concerts. >_<
 
There are no live videos of Shikata other than Luna piena and AVE MARIA from HATS MUSIC Fes DVD. AFAIK at least.
 
:shy: aside from all kalafina new singles, i'm very exited about this too~ cant wait~~~
 
Turaida limited edition cover art is my newest nominee for Worst Cover Ever award.

The dvd cover ain't much better. Why would you use that mic pic.
 
Thanks!

Well I wouldnt say its that bad but it has some weak points:

- The tree behind her is kind of strange, is it an olive tree?
- Her expression is as if she just ate something bitter
- Those flowers look fake compared to the tree
-The falling petals have strange shape
 
First batch of Turaida samples: http://www.fwinc.co.jp/music/shikata/turaida/index.html

New release date for the LIVE DVD: March 26, 2014. Poop.

Also announced for January 2014 is a new game in the surge concerto series: Ar nosurge. Not confirmed to involve Shikata yet but since it's an Ar tonelico/Ciel nosurge ?crossover? game I guess it's a nobrainer. Still no dates for further Ciel nosurge World Pack DLCs.
 
From the samples my favourites were

化石の楽園
Buonanotte

the rest sounded typical shikata, even though I liked the bagpipe touch in Leyre
