Kalafina new single ひかりふる

[Keiri]

^
Most likely until the new single appears in online shopping sites available for pre-order (Like what happened with moonfesta). Funny how they put new releases out sooner than the announcements get officially published on the artists' websites nowadays. And it doesn't happen only with Sony. Come on music PR people, pull your socks up (or maybe spies have just become that much more trigger-happy proficient at leaking info)!

I'm amazed how spies manage to leak informations before the producer does and kills the thrill.

I am hoping for another bside either like lilica or adore.

It would be nice

 

[Hime_Wakana]

[Kazado]

I prefer lirica or Utsukushisa

 

[Cerise]

I'm still vainly hoping for something like Seventh Heaven, but I doubt there'll be another song like it for a while...

Thank you for finding this stuff out, Elcazador!

So, four editions, again.
I really hope they don't keep up with the one-member-per-booklet photos (Keiko in RE, Wakana in DVD LE, Hikaru in Blu-ray LE). Despite my preference for Keiko and her voice, I really hate choosing one of them.... (and I even have a Blu-ray player now, so there goes that excuse)*sigh*

However, I am interested in the new song (Hikari Furu sounds like it could go in any genre-direction), and another Magia, as long as said Magia is more than strings.

I wonder, though, since the original Magia was an A-side, will this single perhaps break tradition and have two instrumentals? Terribly unlikely....

How I wish Sony will release Kala's b-sides instrumental too. Hell, their CDs are more expensive than Flying Dog's but Flying Dog gives us 4 track, while Sony only gives us 3 for Kala.

^ Well, it's KUSONY for a reason...
