Some tweets about the upcoming Kalafina's KnK ED song.
Quick and dirty translation:

頭の中でBGMのプランニングしながらじーっと初期の頃の映像見ていたら、最後のシーンを見終わった途端にどかんと落ちて来た曲です。頭の中で曲が流れるスピードに合わせて五線譜に必死にメモしたら出来たw。Kalafinaの曲でこんなに早く出来た曲は未だかつて無いなあ。
I was planning the BGM in my head as I was watching the early, first footage of the show. As soon as I finished the last scene, the song just came, wham, (into my head). I desperately took down notes on the score, matching the speed of the song as it played in my head (laughs). I don't think there's any other Kalafina song that was made as quickly as this one.

だからとても、シンプルな曲ではあるんだけど、とても自分の中ですんなりと行った。「未来福音」の歌として、皆様にもお気に召して頂ける事を祈っております!
So, it's a very simple song, but it's something I'm very satisfied with. I pray that, as a song for Mirai Fukuin, it will be something everyone likes!
As well as
a new blog post regarding the first movie in 3D and the new song (more or less what she tweeted). She says that she had wanted to resume posting after Kaji fes., but had too much to write about. Says she will probably resume writing her blog, bit by bit.
今秋公開になる、劇場版アニメーション「空の境界・未来福音」の歌を、Kalafinaが歌わせて頂いております。
「未来福音」の初期の映像を、頭の中でBGMのプランニングしながらじーっと見ていたら、ラストシーンの後にどすんと降ってきた曲です(笑)。
ラストシーンの台詞を聞いていたら、歌詞の一行目がぽっと出てきて、「ああこの言葉で歌は始めたいな」と思っていたら、頭の中でKeikoちゃんがいきなり歌い始めちゃって、これはやばいと慌てて五線紙を出して(^_^:)、流れる曲を追いかけてがーっと譜面を書いて行ったら出来ました。歌詞も半分はその時のままだなあ。Kalafina史上最速で出来たメロディーなのは間違いない。
なのでとてもシンプルな曲ですが、自分の中ではとてもしっくり行っております。
皆様にも、「未来福音」の歌としてお楽しみ頂けたら、と願うばかりです!
The song for the movie, "Kara no Kyoukai Mirai Fukuin", which will be releasing this fall, will be sung by Kalafina. It's a song that came to me (lit. fell into my head) as I finished the last scenes from the early footage of Mirai Fukuin (laughs).
As I listened to the dialogue/lines from the last scene, the first lines for the lyrics just popped out. And as I thought, "Ahh... I want to start the song with these words", Keiko-chan just suddenly started singing in my head. I thought, "Oh no!", scrambled to grab the score sheet (^_^:), and wrote the song whilst chasing after the melody flowing in my head. The lyrics are more or less (half) as they were at the time. There's no mistake that this song was the quickest to be completed in Kalafina's history.
So, it's a really simple song but it's something that feels very right to me. I hope that, as a song for Mirai Fukuin, it is something that everyone will enjoy!
TL;DR
Imaginary Keiko likes to suddenly sing in Kajiura's head
Opening lines sung by Keiko
Simple song -> likely a ballad (personal guess)
Lyrics inspired by dialogue from last scene in movie
Look forward to more blog posts from Kajiura in the future
