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

I wouldnt spend money on a BD just for 4 songs, its not even the 1/4 of the setlist.
besides what if they perform a setlist with more of their b-sides the next days but end up releasing this one ? You will be sad.

Actually, it's DVD, and it's 5 songs :P
I didn't say I don't like the rest, I enjoy them all. Just have some doubts about some certain songs, even if they couldn't manage to top themselves in earlier lives, it's fine.

But yes if the more B-sides live will not be released it's sad, but hey, my opinion here can't change anything :v

Hoping there will be Utsukushisa and Ashita no Keshiki and lirica on the next ones.
 
^ Thanks!

17. 音茎 (ongaku)
The kanji for Ongaku is 音楽.

Anyway, the setlist doesn't seem to be as good, mainly because of Yume no Daichi instead of HnS in the encore. At least there was sprinter this time instead of boring-as-hell far on the water for the ending song.
 
I LOVE FotW (it has one of the most beautiful chorus for me) but Sprinter in the enconre is ALWAYS a win. Both the girls and the public seems to enjoy it a lot.
I think Yume no Daichi is overall a great song, but for some reason I can't enjoy it as much as I do with, for example, Symphonia or FotW. On the contrary, Hikari no Senritsu is one of those songs that never fail to make me smile, and I enjoy every second of it.
And I also enjoy a lot Mune no Yukue and KnGnN.
Good that they kept Red Moon, bad they kept Believe-
I wish they performed Moonfesta, tho. I miss that song really much </3
Also, since Into the World was performed yesterday, I though the would perform Marchen today. But they didn't =O
 
I though the would perform Marchen today
My guess is that they either haven't finished arranging it for lives or Kalafina doesn't know it well enough to perform live. Either way it is a shame that it wasn't performed.
 
^ Calm down, there' also the Budokan lives in a week from now. Maybe their thought its a more fitting place for the new song.
 
What a very boring setlist. It's their Budokan setlist combined with 2014 live in Tokyo International Forum which we already got a live album of. They didn't even sing as much songs with percussion/accordion/flute but instead opted with those same songs over and over again. Nope, not interested in live DVD of this.

Their dresses as shown in the article a page before are another example of dresses sewn from leftover materials of their previous dresses. Hikaru's made of ring your bell, Keiko's from Spring Strings live. Only Wakana's looked kinda new. The designs are also fugly.
 
^those dresses were worth 1.2M yen lol XD
I'm only interested for Tsuioku in DVD haha
Yup! Just saw that. I think they are rental.....maybe.

I'll agree with the 11th being better. KnGnN, Hanataba and Sprinter is strong.
 
I just want to point out that there are some musicians that appear on different days of the arena lives, so the experience is also changing

Musicians:
Guitar:
Korenaga Koichi, Drums: Satou Kyoichi, Bass: Takahashi “Jr .” Tomoharu,Strings: Konno Hitoshi strings, Keyboard: Sakurada Hirotaka, Percussion:Nakajima Obawo,
Flute: Akagi Rie (September 10, 11, 16), Fukui Eriko (September 17),
Accordion: Satou Yoshiaki (September 11, 17)
Manipulator: Oohira Yoshio.

so if they release BD/DVD of sept 17 we wont see Rie, and if they do of sept 10 or 16 we wont see accordion. musicians wise the 11th seems the best day to release.
 
Ok, finally I have a time to write.
In the setlist are some interesting tracks, but the whole composition is a little boring. I hope that the setlist would be different in Budokan. I really want to see Natsu no Asa and Tsuioku live - like the dream come true! Alleluia as an opening song is a good choice. I expect some more news after Budokan lives - e.g. new single. And finally hoshi no utai since 2010... I hope for progressive in the setlist in Budokan too.

The dresses are... strange. I like the most Hikaru's dress. Wakana's one looks ugly I think. I wonder what dresses have girls in the other parts of live.
 
I can recognize アリーナライブをオンエア "ARENA LIVE wo ON AIR" right under the date and time so I guess it does.
