The journalist : When we see you we could not imagine it.
Keiko (laugh): Sure, Kalafina shows a tranquil image.
Hikaru : Our Music videos illustrate well the universe of our songs. But if you want to see a more dynamic Kalafina style, you should come to see us performing in live.
The narrator : But it seems to be in their live performances something we do not see in their music videos. It is something to experiment by yourself.
Kalafina had the opportunity to seduce their fans in Asia and United States but their more cheerful dream is about to become true : their first concert in France on the JE Live House stage at Japan Expo.
Hikaru : We have already been in Germany for an event. There was some french people we met there. We had the chance to exchange with them a little in japanese. Some of them asked us : "Come to see us in France". By consequently, we are really impatient to produce ourself there. We hope to see them again.
Wakana/Keiko : Yes, we really want to see them back there.
Keiko : For young women like us, Paris is the symbol of elegance. It is the city of fashion, art , macarons and sweet. This city symbolizes all the dreams of young girls.
Wakana : I want to be dressed elegantly and walk in the stree with a bread under the arm.
Keiko : Really ?
The narrator : the band has a message for the ones who do not know it yet.
Keiko : It is the first time we come in France, we want you to discover our true personality. That's why we want to give the same energy that the ones we perform in Japan.
Wakana : There is in our live performance something we do not find in our CDs. Any of us has the ability to take the vocal lead, so we will be pleased that you can feel and appreciate each of our voices. Listen carefully at our melodies and the harmony of our voices. We want you to feel that during our performance. There will also be some more dynamic moment we want to share with you.
Keiko : We have the opportunity to perform for the first time in France, each of us is really so happy of that. We will be pleased that as many people as possible will come to see our show. See you in France !
