1-EC1. Same as yesterday
EC2. Yume no daichi
EC3. Sprinter
Yeah. One extra song today. I was so not expecting that extra song. Totally cried tears of joy.
The crowd stood for the entire time throughout the concert. Keiko thanked the crowd for doing so in one of the last mc.
In addition to the questions about first time goers, and how many were from Hong Kong, Hikaru asked how many were from Asia, to which the crowd giggled and almost everyone raised their hands. "ah! Hongkong is in Asia too!" So, she asked for those who were in Asia, excluding Hk. There were only a few from outside Asia, with a Canadian amongst them.
They covered similar topics in the mc today. They went about talking about what they did on the 29th a little differently, of course. As Hikaru mentioned that the dessert was more suited for couples, keiko looked at her and echoed "couple?" suggestively/playfully. The crowd cheered. Hikaru went with some of the staff so they ate together. She then said that she wanted to have it with keiko and wakana. To which keiko says "tabetai!" in the cutest way possible.
Keiko then opened her arms wide, indicating that she wanted a hug. Hikaru then returned the gesture and they walked towards each other. Not wanting to be left out, wakana walked towards the two of them and the three of them did a group hug, with keiko and Hikaru hugging each other and wakana hugging the two of them from behind keiko. The crowd and fbm cheered.
After the lack of response yesterday when they asked for recommendations, wakana prepared a sheet this time. Keiko playfully wandered over to wakana, and teasingly asked what is it she has in her hand. Embarrassed, wakana hides the paper behind her back. "it's nothing!"
Well, it turns out she prepared the questions she asked yesterday in Cantonese this time, probably thinking the lack of response yesterday was due to the language barrier. She was cute. She nailed the one for food, but messed up the second one. She tried a few more times, before turning to the crowd. Those who got it pronounced it for her, and she says "yes! that's it!" They didn't ask the crowd to shout an answer, but asked them to write to them in the comments on the blog.
Keiko spilled a bit of water as Hikaru was introducing the fbm. I think she got a bit on herself and on the stage stairs next to her, which she hurriedly wiped dry as wakana covered for her by standing in front, shielding her from view.
Keiko and Hikaru sang back to back in destination unknown again, but there was no hand holding touchy feely this time. :<
Keiko did slide up and down though. XD
Whether she was feeling Hikaru up, I don't know. Lol. Might have been the angle since I sat closer to the side this time.
They changed out of their costumes into the Hk live tshirt today, which made the wait for encore a little longer than yesterday. The crowd didn't let up the entire time though, shouting encore and clapping all the way. During the mc, wakana and Hikaru did a little turn, showing off their tshirt. Hikaru then switched to her salesperson mode, thanked the people for buying the shirt limited to this Hk live, and asked everyone to take another look at the goods and to purchase them on their way out.
After the final song, they took a photo, as usual. When that was done, the fbm and cameraman cleared the stage, leaving only the three of them behind. The instrumental version of Mirai was playing so the crowd clapped to the beat of the song. They looked at the crowd, and keiko seemed overwhelmed by the crowd's applause and cheers. She put both her hands to her face for some time, unable to say anything. Wakana then put her hands around her. When keiko was ready, they took a step forward, thanked the crowd once again, and bowed. All this time, wakana's hand was around keiko's waist, softly patting keiko along to the beat of Mirai (I'm sorry for always noticing this kind of thing, lol).
They waved to the crowd as they left. Wakana blew kisses to the crowd. And just as Hikaru, the last one on stage, was at the edge of the stage, she turned around and did one final jump before disappearing back stage.
I'd say that the most spectacular song was definitely alleluia from day 1. It was so overwhelming. After that mc where keiko kept saying how happy she was to be here and how she'd like to come back again one day, alleluia was simply such a fitting song. Full of hope for the future. Of course, it wouldn't be spectacular without keiko pulling it off perfectly. Wonderful choice for the last song. Yume no daichi didn't have the same impact but they made up for it with a surprise sprinter.
And yes, thank you kalafina for such an amazing performance. It makes spending any amount of money flying over worth it. And it certainly made me want to fly over to Japan for every live.
Ps. Dear Hong Kong, please work on your timing for signal. You were off yesterday, and you were really off today, shouting at weird timings. xoxo

It took almost two hours to finish that. Lol. Sorry for all the edits. I think I'm finally done. I wrote and added more as I remembered.
You're welcome. It's sort of written so I won't forget too, so in a way it's also for myself. :)

Oh wow. How did that person take that. They positioned two people at the side of the stage to ensure no one took video footage. But it sure is nice to relive alleluia, even for a bit. Glad it wasn't just live magic.Thanks again! +w+ I really understand your feelings! It was the same for me during AnimagiC and it'll be more intense at JE the next July!

Yes. MCs at the same position. There's was a short one or two liner before sprinter but I don't think that counts as MC.Thanks for the report Hatouchan and ATroupeLeaderBaby for the link with the setlist!

And.. I suppose I wouldn't mind you posting it.
And I hope they upload a higher resolution photo! Or is the compression because of the image host...

Kalafinaの香港2DAYSチケット即完売 全21曲熱唱、ベストアルバム発売を報告
2008年にデビューし、数々のヒットアニメの主題歌を歌ってきたKalafinaの人気が海外にさらに広がっているようだ。5月30日、31日に香港柴灣青年廣場Y綜藝館で行われたKalafinaの単独ライブ「Kalafina Special LIVE in Hong Kong 2014」が大人気となり、会場を訪れたファンと伴に熱い盛り上がりをみせた。
海外でのライブを積極的に行うKalafinaだが、香港はメンバーのWakana、Keiko、Hikaruにとっては特別な場所だろう。これまでにアニメイベントで1公演、単独ライブで2公演、合計3公演を行っている。これは海外都市では最多である。
一方で、単独ライブは4年ぶりということもあり、開催にあたっては現地のファンからの問い合わせが殺到した。このため当初は1公演のみの予定で組んでいたが、急遽、追加公演を行うことにするほどだ。それでもチケットは、いずれも10分で即完売と人気の高さをみせつけた。
ライブMCではKalafinaのメンバーの「みなさん、ただいま～!」挨拶からスタート、会場からは「おかえり～!」と日本語で返答する場面もあった。これまでの音楽活動を一望するベストアルバム「THE BEST “Red”」「THE BEST “Blue”」のリリースを報告した。
また、「Magia」、「ひかりふる」、「君の銀の庭」など大ヒット曲を次々に披露、アンコールを含む全21曲を熱唱した。2時間半弱のライブは終始熱く、熱狂冷め止まぬまま大盛況の内に終幕となった。
香港での2daysライブは、世界のKalafinaを感じさせるものとなった。
ライブでも触れられた初のベスト盤「THE BEST」（「Red」、「Blue」）は2014年7月16日に発売される。発売元のSMEレコーズによれば、連日予約が好調で、各サイトのベスト10に連日チャートイン中だという。待望の初ベストにふさわしい滑り出しとなっている。
すでに香港でのリリースも決定している。今後はさらに多くの国に広がることが期待されそうだ。

I wish they'd stop showing the same few songs every time.
Oh. It's Kalafina. Let's show Magia and TTB again!
Where's Alleluia?!!?

Yay Ongaku.
It's almost like they are trying to make me hate the song.
I ask the same question everyday.
Edit: @george1234 "Will Kalafina be holding Lives in countries like China/Singapore besides Hong Kong?"
Interview out on the 8th.

Well, I've done my best to remind them that they have fans in Singapore while I was there (blog mention! woohoo!).
Now we just need someone to invite them over. I'm not certain we have enough fans to fill a solo Kalafina though.
