Here's the official page of the event
http://www.lazona-kawasaki.com/event/index.html

Everyone, except Kalafina, will have handshake and/or signing event after their live. :cry:

But I'll try to go, since it's a free event, and I also like Takahashi, HMK and Yuuya. :p
 
Um.. I got my Kalafina record this morning.

Here're some pictures for teaser :p

Cool! Does the stone cold poster come with it or did you get that seperate? (even though I got a post already I like the small one too heh) And I shouldn't really be on this thread until the release of the album. 6 more days! :sohappy:
 
You know, after many times listening to it, I have grown to like Eden quite a bit.

About Kalafina Record, I hope someone can at least record the Kajiura liner notes and someone then translate them (really wish I knew Japanese).
 
Thanks for the pics, Shunchan! :sohappy:

How is Yuuka related since we havent seen her with Yuki since um last year ?

Hopefully it's a sign that we may hear something new from FJY soon. :shy:
Btw, is Stone Cold a MAXI single? :confu: I thought this was the definition of EPs with, like, 5-6 songs not limited to only the A/B side and their respective instrumentals...
E.g., I deem Re: Oblivious as a maxi single, but most See-Saw/FJY releases as singles because there are 4 songs, two of which are instrumentals...

Then again, maybe this page was made by Sony, too. Judging by the tracklist of Kalafina singles, the SME guys might really be thinking that anything with more than 3 songs in it is maxi in the very least. :ohoho: :XD:

I completely agree. The songs sounds very African-ish.

Well, soul and gospel (which I've heard/hallucinated in Mune no Yukue) ARE the styles created by African Americans, thus having some traces of African music. Maybe our claims aren't too far apart. :ayashii:
But concerning the Hakuna Matata comparison... sorry. :XD: the last thing Hakuna Matata resembles is an African-flavoured song (except the main phrase in the lyrics and a bit of choir in the bridge). Otherwise, it screams Broadway at the top of its lungs (not that there's any problem with it). :XD: Maybe KP-X's mom meant the whole Lion King sound (read: Hans Zimmer and Lebo M.'s collaborative sound), but mentioned Hakuna Matata because it's the most advertised song from that OST on par with Can You Feel the Love Tonight. :plot:

Thanks for the samples.

So far I liked only Kugatsu, Destination unknown and Magnolia. Sandpiper sounds quite nice too.

We completely agree on this :uh..:

P.S.Yes,i listened to the samples only today :cry:
 
@Nick, yes it is a Maxi single, at least it says so on the big poster I got. :dote:

Can't wait to get my package next week! :sohappy:

I'll give it a shot if possible :V:
 
Thanks Shunchan..you got it so fast...;A;...(I haven't got even a shipping notice from CDJapan... :cry: ...)

Oh I forgot to tell that the Lion King OST that popped-up in my mind when I listened to Mune no Yukue isn't Hakuna Matata, but it's another one that similar to a chant with the word 'lion king' in its lyrics.. :confu: ..(can't remember even which scene is it in.., but it's the menu screen bgm in the Lion King PC game.)

Edit again..ok..I found a video link for the game..lol. It's the bgm at the beginning..

My opinion for the samples...:

Eden : so out of prediction. I think it would be some kind of ballad like seventh heaven, but it turns out as upbeat song. Don't really like it.

sandpiper : somewhat like serenato and lotus (the strings in the end of the sample). Love this one,although it is nothing new.

Kugatsu is nice actually, it is so gloria-ey mixed with Natsu no Ringo. Love the yasashiku :)

in your eyes : Love the chorus, hate Hikaru's solo because Hikaru is somewhat shouting, just like what she did in love come down.

destination unknown : Another Magia-wise singing of Hikaru. Will sound disappointing in live. Keiko's part just blew me away. :nosebleed:

neverending : Hikari no Senritsu with Keiko replacement of Hikaru's part. Love this one more than HnS :D :dote:

Kotonoha : Lovely. Love this one more than Kugatsu.

magnolia : Another out of prediction. Think of ballad when seeing magnolia,actually. fantasia with Wakana replacement of Hikaru's part. fantasia x Kyrie,probably :P

Mune no Yukue : Lovely. Not saying this because of Keiko is somewhat lead in this song, but this song is so refreshing, and different from the other,that somewhat sounded like old Kalafina's song. Hooray for somewhat Disney song. This song could probably become the theme song for Disneyland Tokyo :XD:

symphonia : Hooray for more Keiko's part!

Going to love Kugatsu,in your eyes, destination unkonwn, neverending, Mune no Yukue. This album needs more new ballad. The ballads in the album are old track (Kagayaku and snow falling)
 
I agree with you!!! :) As far as I'm concerned , but I wanted for Eden , a song in the style of Magia or Red Moon :XD: And I really love Magnolia , Destination Unknown and in Your Eyes :dote: :dote:
 
^Why have Eden have a similar style to Magia? It would make no sense.
Anyway...

Nay. We have Kugatsu and Kotonoha as well. The problem is not the quantity, but rather the quality

Top 10 albums?
Most wanted albums?
 
^The NINKI ratings are the results of a poll conducted by Oricon indicating interest in an upcoming release. Although the ratings are never a true reflection of sales, it does give a strong prediction about where the single/album will place in terms of popularity amongst the Japanese public. However, they are NOT an indication of how it will perform in terms of chart positioning and total sales for the week.
