After saying Hi this is Kalafina, each of the girls gave a short greeting.
Wakana:
I'm really glad to be able to come back to NHK Hall. There'll be some people who will be seeing a Kalafina concert for the first time today, some will have seen us many times already, and some people might even not know us before this concert, but I hope all of you will enjoy our music.
Keiko
This is Keiko. Today before the concert, I walked through the hall, to the 1st floor, 2nd floor and 3rd floor seats. On each place, I tried to picture how our concert would look like from the viewpoint of the guests, and for the concert I'm keeping that image in mind and I will try to create the best.
Hikaru
It's summer now. I'm going to do my best to sing and give my energy to everyone, so you won't fall ill from heat exhaustion this summer. [Note, in Japan, a lot of people complain that the summer heat makes them ill.]
I'm very happy that all of you made a decision to come see our concert on this day. We'll do our best to make sure you have a good time. Now I'd like to sing this song which is perfect for this season. "Natsu no Ringo"
<MC2>
When they finished singing, Keiko introduced the songs, and Wakana said they were quite dark. Keiko tried to talk but her voice was super rough.
Keiko: After singing those songs, I have no voice.
Wakana: Well, during the studio rehearsals, everyone was talking about how scary Keiko was when she sang Lirica.
Keiko tries to talk, then suddenly growls, "EXCUSE ME!" and walks to the back to drink water from her cup. Then she turns around, comes back to the front, and says in a high cute voice, "Hi I'm back!"
(BTW, on a personal note, I found this absolutely hilarious, but no-one else seemed to be laughing... Oh Japan, why u so serious?)
Hikaru:
Everyone sitting down, and I can really see your faces well. Actually, from "Serenato" to "Yami no Uta", the songs get progressively darker, and it's really fun to see everyone's expressions get more and more tense. That makes it very rewarding for us to sing these songs.
Keiko:
Well we have many types of songs. When we were making the set list for this concert, we thought very carefully about what songs we would like you to hear, and put those in.
Next, I'd like to sing one of our new songs. Moonfesta will be released soon, and this is the coupling song. "Yane no Mukou ni"
<MC3>
The talk was about what to do this summer, and one of the girls said, we talk about the beach.
Hikaru:
I don't want to go. Well, actually you can probably imagine already, but the truth is I can't swim. Also I always get bitten by insects. So I have to carry around "Muhi" (a medicine for bites).
Keiko:
Yes you can tell when the seasons change by checking with Hikaru whether she got her first insect bite of the year.
Wakana:
I would like to get a scuba diving license. Because I want to see sharks.
Keiko (interrupting):
So it is about sharks!
Wakana:
Yes. I love sharks and want to see them. If I can't get a scuba license, I'd like to be able to, um, what you do call it, with the mask and pipe <pantomimes a snorkel>.
Keiko:
Snorkel
Wakana:
Yes, snorkel. Um, I don't know if you need a license for that. But anyway, I would like to try, and someday I would love to see the sharks in Australia.
Keiko:
BTW, recently we've added some bright songs to our repertoire as well, and now we can even create a bright (meaning happy, light) playlist. Now I'd like to bring you a song which encompasses a message that is close to what we represent. "Mune no Yukue"
<MC4>
Keiko:
This is our second time performing at NHK Hall. Again, I'm struck by how big it is. The first time I stood here, I hoped to be able to create a wonderful time with everyone, and today I feel we have done so. That's why, while feeling a strange mix of nervousness and satisfaction, we are able to create this time with everyone, word by word, note by note. Thank you very much for today.
This year Kalafina will be entering its 5th year. It feels like a turning point. We hope to do our best to create good music and keep moving ever forward, with a fresh feeling. For that new beginning, this is the song. "To the beginning"
<Last greeting>
(after encore finished, everyone is at the front of stage)
The band and Kalafina gather up, and they all line up and are about to say the last "Thank you". The three put down their mikes.
Keiko: "Can you hear me?"
Crowd: "Yes!"
Keiko: "Even on the 3rd floor?"
3rd floor Crowd: "YES!"
Keiko is really surprised and happy to hear their reply. She's practically jumping up and down in excitement.
Keiko: "Thank you for your feelings! I really want to thank you! Ok, everybody together now!"
W, K, H hold hands and shout out, "Kyou mo arigatou gozaimashita!". Except, Keiko screws up! She shouted "Arigatou!" and it was a garbled messed. Keiko did a orz while everyone cracked up, and she went to the back and then her back to the audience while squatting down in embarrassment
until Wakana went to comfort her and bring her back.
Then they redid it, and it was fine.
At the very last, when they were waving hands to the audience, Keiko stood in the center, put her hands up to shade her eyes from the lights, and stared at the 3rd floor. "Give me 10 more seconds!" she said. Then she said, "Ok! I've burned this image into my head!"
Then all exited.
Yes, Animax! We were talking about Animelo last night on chat, guess it got stuck on my head 
Seems she has to rest as well
I get more and more confused about this
