"Kalafina Arena LIVE 2016" September 10-11 (Kobe World Memorial), 16-17 (Budokan)

Unfortunately I doubt we'll get ride of HB and Believe anytime soon. But I honestly think the best think Kajiura could do is pretend these songs never existed and ignore the as much as she can. Having a discography full of hidden gems, it's a waste spending 10 live minutes on those two songs.
Anyway, accordion posibly meand Hanataba and KnGnN and flute means Hikari no Senritsu and Natsu no ringo (NATSU NO RINGO!) which is a very, very, good thing :dote: I really love the fact that they're starting to add more musicians to their concerts, I hope they keep with this!
Besides the songs you all already told, I'm really wishing we could finally get the live version of Samidare.
I hope we get a decent realease (specially of the Budokan days!), or, at least, some parts attached in the Limited Edition of the next album, or aired in a TV program.
Also, hope you guys can attend! Wish you the very best!:cheer:
 
I doubt they'll release it as a BD. There's not much new material, if at all, besides blaze, Natsu no Asa and into the water. Probably another live CD? A TV special seems more likely (like the oblivious 5th Anni).
 
I think that it's too big event for Kalafina to not release a dvd/bd from live. But when Kalafina was making Red and Blue days it wasn't too much new material too.

In my opinion, they'll go with the recent songs (I don't hate HB and Believe, but they appear SO MUCH it seems boring as hell)! The ones that I'M DYING TO SEE live (but has not had a chance yet) are: serenato, lirica, Tsuioku, Utsukushisa, ASHITA NO KESHIKI, Dolce.

I think that these will have BD/DVD releases, Sony Music Entertainment MUST know that these will be like hot cakes to fans if they're smart enough (hello, we're all looking forward to them here), and not publishing them will only do harm to their wallets.

Anyways, when I heard that there will be more musicians being invited, I kinda imagined ALL of the ideas I can think of, LOL!!
- Percussion: sandpiper, ashita no keshiki, utsukushisa
- Flute: MANY of their songs have flute but I currently hope for Natsu no Asa the most
- Accordion: Hanataba, Kimi no Gin no Niwa, monochrome & signal (please no more 'signal' and more 'obbligato', I like it more)
- Cello: Kiichigo no Shigemi ni, Yane no Mukou ni

And it would be like a freaking dream to me if there were HARP: Sorairo no Isu & Natsu no Asa... Okay that's it, I'm gonna wake up now...
 
Sorairo no Isu is FJ so Kalafina cant perform it. Also, signal is one of their best songs but the fact that the Yuriko chorus appears on karaoke in the live instead of reproduced by Wakana, makes it less good live.

Too lazy to quote.

Sorairo no Isu is FJ --> since when? Kindly check the discography section, under 2015-2016, Kalafina - far on the water.

Utsukushisa didn't even use percussion in the studio version so I don't see why they'd use it in this upcoming live performance. I really hope for Ashita no Keshiki and serenato. I have a feeling that they'd sing in your eyes (don't really like this song but this is a crowd-pleaser/tension-increasing song) and (definitely) monochrome as it has both percussion and accordion.

There were never a harp used in a Kalafina song - all the harp-sounding sounds are synth.

They might sing Natsu no Asa. I don't want Natsu no Ringo. Kugatsu has better chance to be performed.

They might sing both into the world and Marchen (too lazy to put the umlaut), just like the case with Budokan 2-days 2015. And when we get the (inevitable) BD/DVD release next year, SME will cut both songs from the setlist and give it as DVD/BD content for their 6th album.

Please no more Kyrie and Mune no Yukue live. Oh, and also red moon. And please do all KnK themes sans snow falling.

Song I want the most is Kizuato.

About the harp, it's my favorite instrument (although I play the piano lol), so I'm dreaming about it even when it's synth here.

What? In Utsukushisa I can hear something sounds like vibraphone or marimba throughout the song?? Oh nevermind, just check the credits, probably it's synth too.

Not 'might', I think 'probably will', and yes those will be cut too. Unless they're released BEFORE the BD/DVD of the arena lives themselves, then we will have A LITTLE BIT OF HOPE (not for sure).

Waiting sucks!!

Can we just have every song listed here as the setlist? Even if it was just that I'd be happy with it, provided they actually release it of course.
 
It's kind of amazing to see how the group has grown to the point where they can bring so many more musicians with them. Of course, that only matters if they perform songs that we haven't heard over and over.

I'm really hoping for Ashita no Keshiki, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
 
I think it wasnt a matter of popularity but matter of decition. Remember, Kalafina started having additional musicians in lives than just guitar-bass-violin-drums, after Yuki Kajiura had in her own ones, and the percussionist/accordion also appeared on kalafina after YK live.
 
My dream list is, along with obbligato even though I've seen it live at ACen, it's my favorite song still. But also: lirica, Natsu no Asa and Ringo (I think they said something about not performing this song very much at ACen during the panel but they will start to. I don't think we've had it too much, right?), Samidare, I have a dream (not seen in person), Yane, magnolia (they should perform this again, I thought they did a really good job in consolation, and it was after some fast songs too), serenato, Gloria again (they haven't performed it really since Boston, and I want Yuki to play the piano again too!) just to name a few.

Oh I hope it's on tv because then we might get to see it too!
 
Goods were updated! dat music box and calendar tho <3

These special goods are incredible really *WWW* And that calendar :imdead::blood: I can't wait for receiving my copy!!
 
Well it seems into the world is pretty much confirmed to be performed, since the music box is for that. Speaking of the music box, I WANT ONE SO BADLY :hearts:! 19,000 yen is too much... :uh..:
 
19.000 YEN??? REALLY? IS THAT A JOKE?
Please tell me they accidentally put an spare 0 there =( Almost 200 bucks seems excessive to me :touched:
Which is sad because they're BEAUTIFUL :cry: If I were rich I´d totally buy both.
The wine set is okay, I think, but nothing I would buy.
And calendar looks adorable! Dresses are simple, but I think girls are really elegant in them, They look like fairies. I really like the effect that chiffon-like, semi-transparent material creates ♥
And Into the work will (almost for sure!) be performed, which means we'll probably get it recorded for the next album.:plz:
 
^ Well they are not only premium in looks and design but in price too :sparkleguy:

remember that Kalafina watch in Red/Blue day live.
 
@yuki.n According to this page, the average monthly salary for ages 20-29 (what I assume to be Kalafina's main audience) is 2874120.63円 ($28268, €25144,99). Basically, one music box takes up around 1.5% of their monthly income, if I calculated correctly.

Big thanks to Google money converter :XD:

Hopefully that's not too much info :bow:
