and Kaori :XD:
 
Kajiura is... well... she is different case. :XD:

as for Kaori, I still think Hikaru is better than Kaori in English. On rather off-topic, I suspect Kaori studies French as her major on university :XD:
 
一向很活躍的 Keiko則覺得香港像她家一樣,說了:「香港我回來了!」(笑)

Keiko thinks HK is like her home.... saying "Hong Kong, I've returned!" (equivalent of "tada ima")

Keiko return home more ;)
 
I am pretty sure Hikaru was the one who said that...or well, more precisely, she said "我返來啦" :XD:
 
The video was posted in the previous page and the questions have been translated by ukky :XD: I'll translate the answers based on the subtitles :sparkleguy: If anyone speaks Japanese please feel free to correct :dote:

Q1: This time you have a performance in HK and the theme is “red moon”, how long you used for making the album “red moon”?

Answer (Wakana): "Red Moon" is our second album. Recording the songs and making the album took approximately one year. There are...7 new songs? No, there are 9, a total of 9 new songs. The album is composed mostly of new songs, but we found that it was easy to put our emotions into our new works. As we sing, we try to retain Kalafina's image while performing the songs using our own unique styles.

Q2: The is the second album of Kalafina, what the different of style with your last album “seventh Heaven”?

Answer (Keiko): In our first album, "Seventh Heaven", the songs were centered around Kara no Kyoukai. While colourfully portraying KnK, the album also showcases each of our individual personalities. The debut album was basically a collection of theme songs. Compared to the previous album, the making of "Red Moon" was full of challenges. A year ago, we were very busy due to our live tours. Through these lives, we discovered what's unique about our own voices, and this is all presented on the album. As such, the first and second albums are very different.

Q3: what you feel about the process during the corporation of the sound recording of album “red moon”, are you happy?

Answer (Hikaru): This time, we took on some songs with higher difficulty. They are hard to sing, and therefore require trials of new things. The whole recording process was a happy one. For example, some of us would discuss how to sing one part of a song, how to arrange the harmony, and add the harmony after listening to the main melody. Then another would say, "Ah, maybe that's how I should sing it too." It was filled with a lot of fun, and the entire process was very joyful.

Q4: one of the song “Lacrimosa” is the theme song of the anime “Kuroshitsuji” , “Kuroshitsuji” is a famous anime in Hong Kong too, what is the back story of the song “Lacrimosa”?

Answer (Wakana): Our producer, Yuki Kajiura, tailored this song specifically for the anime. When we heard the song for the first time, we felt that in the midst of the passionate lyrics, there was a bit of loneliness mixed with hatred. We also fell deeply in love with the melody, which left a remarkable impression on us. Ms.Kajiura accurately depicts the anime through her song, which made it easier for us to master the song. Then, after watching the anime, we felt that the song was very suitably used as a theme song. It is a very incredible song indeed.

Q5: your style and modeling is being liked Gothic, do you have any opinion of Gothic?

Answer (Keiko): From the beginning, the styles of our outfits have been medieval European. In Japan, this kind of fashion is very popular, and the Japanese culture has always given others a fresh and exotic feeling. Since our songs incorporate a little bit of medieval European styles as well, our outfits suited our songs very well. When we put on these clothes, we become the members of Kalafina... - GREEN SCREEN

Q6: There is a song with the same name in this album, Would you introduce this song to us (sorry, the guy don’t mention the song’s name so i guess is "red moon")?

Answer (Hikaru): STARTS WITH GREEN SCREEN - ...with a bit of sadness. (Wakana) After I sang this song, I listened to Hikaru and Keiko's renditions. Like Hikaru just said, a feeling of sadness and loneliness surfaces. Listening to them sing, the passion within the song was also brought out, which touches me greatly. When we sing the song together, my emotions rise to a climax. As the main single for our second album, I think it is a good choice. (Keiko) All three of us think that this song is calling out to our souls. There were lots of parts that required a lot of energy to sing, but also some where we needed to sing gently. Since everyone has different emotions, and we are expressing them through our voices, we hope that everyone listens carefully with their hearts.

Q7: This is your second album of Kalafina, any favourite song you recommand in this album?

Answer (Wakana): Every song left a deep impression on me, and I like every one of them. If I must choose one that I especially like, then it would be the one that we just talked about, "Red Moon". It is filled with memories, and as the first song on the album, it already gave such a prominent impression. I think it makes the entire album even more impressive, because the song gives people a feeling of "red", which encompasses passion, hatred, pain, even love. These things can all be described with colour. We all worked very hard to sing the song, and poured in our hearts and souls. We look forward to performing this song live again, so it is especially remarkable. (Keiko) There is a song called "Tetotetometome". The song title is very interesting and cute, and it is a song that I like very much. Fill with an Arabian feel, it is a musical style that's never been attempted by Kalafina. During a live, the song allows us to interact with our fans, which is something that I really enjoy. (Hikaru) it is very difficult to choose only one song. The last song in the album is called "I Have A Dream". After listening to the entire album, you'd notice that many songs drift away from reality, and many songs present different viewpoints of the world. Listening to the final song, "I Have A Dream", it talks about the tiny pieces of happiness in our daily lives, giving me a very relaxed feeling. As well, it makes me feel more in touch with myself in my daily life. It is a very suitable song as the conclusion to the album. Even if I only listen to this one song, I will feel a certain warmth inside my heart. It is a song that I like very much.

Q8: Japan’s anime is very famous in Hong Kong even in the world, what you think of this event?

Answer (Wakana): I think anime is a very outstanding element of Japanese culture which accompanied us through as we grew up. Even when we are grown up, it still lets us dream, which is something to be happy about, and everyone likes that. Now that so many people in the world like anime, I am very glad. To be able to be associated with anime as Kalafina is something that makes me very happy.

Q9: At last, any things you want to talk with Hong Kong’s friend.

Answer (Hikaru): This is our second time in Hong Kong. In order for us to continue performing live around the world, we will continue to work hard. Please continue to support us!
 
@ Moon:

Thank you for the translation!! Can I put it on the site ? :sohappy: :sohappy:


in Q6 I think the mean seventh heaven, because in red moon they dont sing together.
 
What does moon have to do with anything?
Also considering how int he response it stated that the song is part of their second album, I'd say that they're talking about RED MOON.
 
Sure george you can put it on the site :XD: During the part where there was a green screen I didn't know what they were talking about, so maybe someone can fill in that part :tea:
