Had some time to do a rough translation of my favorite Kalafina Interview video over the past few days.
Any feedback or help in editing/missing stuff is welcomed.
Part 2 will have to wait.
[Q&A Segment End]
Feel free to correct my mistakes, I'm here to learn.
That is all for today. Enjoy!

[Q&A Segment End]
Insidia said:KEN: I'll just ask but there are so many questions.
The word Kalafina was created(ie it doesn't exist)?
Kalafina: Yes.
KEN: I'm sure you have been asked this question many times. Has it reached 1 million?
W: Yes. We have been asked over 10 Million times.
Our producer, Kajiura Yuki-san felt that the pronunciation of the word Kalafina leaves a gentle feeling and it's easy on the ears.
And that is the reason why she decided to call us Kalafina.
KEN: It sounded like some foreign language. As I thought, it made good sense in using created words.
M: Yes.
KEN: How to say, it feels just right.
You wouldn't know this word doesn't exist. But there doesn't seem to be any words like this.
This unit, in one word, Wakana felt that this unit is colorful and interesting. (W:Yes.)
And Keiko said Jack-in-the-box.
Then Pika-Rin ...
H: Now I have another new nickname.
KEN: "A triangle but at the same time, it's also a circle". Why is that so?
H: The 3 of us are different and each point towards different directions. But we are somehow miraculously linked together into a circle.
KEN: That was very well said!
M+W: I see!
KEN: You are all very good in commenting.
Kalafina: Is it? Thank you.
KEN: That is unfair.
H: No.No.
KEN: "Exercising before rehearsals". Is this a sporty type of unit?
H: Absolutely not sporty.
K: Both of them can't move.
KEN: I see. Keiko-san exercises regularly right?
K: I like to exercise.
As our studio is underground, the air is cold and we'll do approximately 15 mins of warm up exercises.
The 3 of us will dance. Right? (to H)
KEN: What kind of dance?
W: It is a secret! We are a mysterious group that's why.
M: I'm thinking about it.
KEN: Really. WAI. *dance*
K: No, no not like that. That's so outdated.
W: No you are wrong. It's like this. *dance*
M: This (dance) is good!
H+W: It isn't like this at all. We are just joking around.
KEN: Exercising for the sake of warming up the body.
Ah, we have covered so much. Next, dreams for the future: World Tour!
W: Yes. We still have many places we have not visited, so of course it is a dream if we are able to go.
KEN: How many countries you have been to up until now?
W: For Asia, we have been to China and Taiwan etc.
For America, we have been to Boston and L.A.
We have an upcoming trip to Europe and that will be our first time there.
KEN: Amazing!
W: Yes. Europe is very big and there are many places that we would like to go. This dream is in all of us.
KEN: Hikaru wants to meet the various kind of people on this planet, including Japan of course.
For that reason you would want to be able to express yourself more right?
H: Yes. I'm a hikikomori and seldom get out of the house. As such I would like to be more in contact with other people.
KEN: Through work?
H: Yes. I'll give it more tries.
KEN: Keiko you said you wanted the 3 of you to run the full marathon right?
K: Please don't take my dreams as the climax of a joke.
KEN: Because the other 2 don't work out that's why.
K: And that is why I wanted to do this.
M: You wished that they will join you in exercising?
K: Yes May'n-chan let's go together.
M: I remembered receiving Keiko's sms while being backstage.
She would send something like "I'm now walking from X to Y" etc.
Keiko really loves exercising and I call her Macho-Senpai.
K: Nooo!Please don't call me that!
KEN: The truth is that when you form a group with people that are not sporty,
the one that is more active will go:
"Move your body more! Sports is the essence of life!"
Honestly though: "I'm sorry (for you)." *HOW TO DESCRIBE HIS EXPRESSION LOL*
K: Stop it. I really don't mind!
W: When Macho-Senpai is around it sort of encourages us.
I'll do yoga and of course Kei-chan does it too.
But Keiko does Hot Yoga and as for me, I'll be doing it at home.
For about 5 mins and at a leisurely pace without breaking a sweat.
Oh and I will do Pilates before sleep. For Hikaru, she loves sleeping the most.
H: No. ZERO. I won't do it.
KEN: I see. It'll be fantastic if you managed to pull it off.
K: That is why I've stated it as a dream.
KEN: "Things that you cannot say to the other members until now".
Wakana said, "Thank you, (as) always!"
W: Yes. Just like what Hikaru had said earlier, we are very different but yet at the same time, it is thanks to us being together and as one that I am much aware, discovered alot of new and fun things,
being kind towards other people, alot of happy memories were made.
Thank god for Kalafina! I'm so glad to be in this group.
KEN: This is so sudden.
K: What happened to you? (to W)
KEN: I don't know.
K: Oh no we don't have much time left.
KEN: That is your problem. Go to one side if you want to play Kalafina-Catch Ball.
Kalafina: Sorry. Really sorry.
KEN: Keiko-san said "Be more proactive!"
K: Be more proactive!
H: This again?
M: Macho-Senpai has shown herself.
W: Let's do our best since she has said it out.
KEN: Hikaru-san said "Thanks for leaving me alone."
H: It's like this ... there are times when we are moving.
I often fall asleep quickly during transit. While on the move.
KEN: I know that very well.
H: So when the 2 of them leave me alone after sensing the "Sleeping Aura" from me, and go about happily chatting by themselves, I wanted to thank them for leaving me alone (to sleep).
KEN: But when you are overseas or at a concert, even though while moving, don't you take any videos/behind the scenes stuff?
Isn't it bad that during all those times Hikaru is asleep?
W: The conversations doesn't end when the 3 of us are together.
It doesn't change if it's 3 people or 2 people. No one is left alone.
KEN: Waka-chan SHHH.
Next <To the Beginning> was released last Wednesday.
Cold (冷), Fueled (燃), Sad (切) were used to describe it.
How do you explain this? Let's start with Cold. (冷たい)
W: This song, as pointed out by the other 2, has parts which have intensity and sadness in it.
But my part consists lots of feelings of calmness and that is what I wanted to express.
KEN: I see. Each and everyone has their role to play.
Feel free to correct my mistakes, I'm here to learn.
That is all for today. Enjoy!
And I lol'd at your Goddess Wakana, Macho Keiko and Sleepy Hikaru 
thank you for the translation!!
