Wakana tells us that this song was written by a schoolteacher in 1995 and performed by a middle-school chorus. Keiko is impressed. Wakana agrees that it is a really good song. Keiko says that when she heard it, she thought the male voices gave it so much energy. Wakana proceeds to mimic Keiko’s “ima toki” (amazing). They talk more about the melody and how the song makes you feel happy.
They’re going to answer more mail related to their live in Mexico.
Mail from kairyou-san, who came to the live all the way from Japan (so dedicated). L even went to watch their tv appearance and talks about how it was difficult figuring out where it was/how to get there. L said that s/he was the only Japanese person there (W: well of course you were!). L arrived when Kalafina was rehearsing. L was able to go to Mexico because of Kalafina, so s/he thanks them.
Wakana says that even though they meant to talk about the live, it seems they should talk about that tv appearance too. She admits that they were nervous and there was tension in the air beforehand. Keiko and Hikaru go on to talk about the atmosphere in the live. Wakana notes how friendly Keiko was during some MC.
Keiko talks about the photo they took after the concert and says something about a “selfie”?? Ohh, maybe someone wanted to take a selfie with them and whoever it was was good at taking selfies lol.

Corner: Kalafina Memorial
Mail from hachimachi-san. L tells them that s/he has three older brothers. When they were younger and were playing video games on the tv, if L got mad s/he would take the controller. The next day something precious was broken?? L asks Kalafina if they have any episodes like that with their siblings.
(enter
@sakurahibiya’s
sketches. Thanks for letting me add them to this post!)
When Keiko was in elementary school, she wanted to wear her sister’s socks
K’s sister: you can’t go! you can’t!
K: but they’re cute!
ok I’m not really sure about how but somehow a radio is involved and it was really heavy (I think her sister told her she had to carry the radio?). Afterwards Wakana comments that it sounds like something from a manga.
W: so Hikaru do you have any similar episodes with your sister?
H: I don’t think so… probably.
Hikaru finally thinks of something. When they had cake for birthdays, Hikaru would always try to eat the strawberry last. But her sister would reach over with her fork and eat it (EVIL). And her family would laugh.
Now for Wakana. When she was in elementary school, she always wanted to play with her brother and would be mad when he didn’t. He had a friend Hama-chan next door (or was it Wakana’s friend?). Anyway, Wakana thinks she must’ve been really annoying lol. Her mother told her brother that he should play with her and they ended up going to the park… where he let Wakana ride a unicycle. Hikaru and Keiko have a good laugh.
<Lacrimosa>
K: we laughed a lot today
W: today is already March 22nd, so their strings tour is only a month away
K: isn’t it called “spring tour”
H: spring has come
W: that’s true: “~spring tour~”
W: it has a kind of echo to it
H: it’s a title that has spring in it (obviously they’re using English when saying the tour title but everywhere else using 春)
K: it’s a time of warmth
W: it has the kind of image of a warm wind (so poetic)
