Don't WORRY....THEO AND MERCURIUS HAVE MUCH BETTER QUALITY ONES!!! (including a full video of their little speech XD)
Dealers Room
- Kalafina has a table there (Kalafina not present, only some shop workers XD)

dionashi to grab a random guy walking by, to take the photo for us XD)
- They sold singles for $13, album for $13, Keychain for $18 x_x, and mirror for $10 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/ ... G_1748.jpg
Kalafina Panel
- we sat through the previous event held in that room, so we could get good seats!! This is where we met Mercurius, who sat through TWO panels in that room just for a good view of the Kalafina panel. He's got a HUUUUGE AWESOME camera....
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/ ... G_1783.jpg
but...
- NO PHOTO/VIDEO ALLLOOOOWWEDDDDD T_____T
- but don't worry....
... I RECORDED THE SOUND!!! because they didn't say we're not allowed to do that XD.... sorry it's a big WAV, i didn't have time to convert it. I think its about 25 minutes
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4PU9WN8V
(some of the questions really suck....)
- Dionashi asked the last question!!
- Why was the Q&A so short? Because the panel began with a video montage of some PVs, and ended with a huge group photo taken by their party!!! (they're allowed to take pictures of us, but we're not allowed to take pictures of them......) We sat in the front row, so in the photo, I'm right behind yuki :aww: I don't know when they will show us the photo... OMG ズuiyon just showed me.... http://blog.oricon.co.jp/_images/kalafi ... ru_007.jpg
- Also at the end, the hostess made us play rock/paper/scissors with her as a group, and gave out signed Lacrimosa obi/stickers!!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/ ... G_1761.jpg
Everyone in our party got one :D
(not all legitimately.... but.... if i had to choose between being honest in rock-paper-scissors, or getting a signed kalafina sticker....)
Autograph Session
- Was scheduled for 4:30 and it was only 3.....so what else do we do, but camp by the door?
- but but... EHHH we were shooed away by security X_X
- at least 3 times X_X
- in the end we had to hide far away >_< and when the line finally was allowed to form.... it formed SO FAST aand so BIIIG we got pushed all the way back to like...50th.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/ ... G_1773.jpg
- Book has been delivered!! I don't have photos of it happening but Theo got a photo of Yuki holding it and my hand is in the photo.... ^^; we weren't allowed to stay to talk, sooo many security pushing us along O____O
- we weren't allowed to pose with them for photos, but we could take pix of them while in the line :D too bad my camera sucks ^^;
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/ ... G_1777.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/ ... G_1778.jpg
- and they allowed us only ONE item to be autographed!!
- And we had to bring/buy official Kalafina CDs or other merchandise to be guaranteed autographs... people who didn't have any were forced to the end of the line :omgwtf:
Kara no Kyoukai Premiere
- A short appearance by Kalafina, but I have no pics
- I took a photo of the canvas that they signed for me XD
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/ ... G_1790.jpg
Tomorrow:
Kalafina Concert
Autograph Session, v2?
DAY 2
Hi Guys!! Kerahna reporting in at 2:30am....
Main Party: Kerahna, Theo, Mercurius, Dionashi, Zurra, Joshua (Zurra's awesome friend who's not here ^^;)
Kalafina Concert
- we lined up early (mercurius the EARLIEST...) but of course our line got broken up by security and we had to hide in the shadows again...
- I sneaked to the backstage foyer area with gillsa, but at that time, Kalafina was practicing ON stage so we couldn't see them from backstage >_<
- after a long time, they let us line up, and we passed the time playing PICTOCHAT on our DSs
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/ ... G_1824.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/ ... G_1825.jpg
- we got FRONT ROW!!!!!
(NO PHOTOS ALLOWED)
...a sound recording was made but we were seated right in front of the enormous subwoofers and the sound quality is too crappy to bother listening to
Opening: Video Game Orchestra
1. FF7 - Fighting/Bombing Mission
2. Silent Hill 2 - Laura's theme
3. MGS: Snake Eater/main theme (female vocal)
4. Chrono Trigger Medley
- Millennial Fair theme
- Wind Scene
- Frog's Theme
- Main Theme
5. Halo theme (female vocal)
6. Mai-Hime - Himeboshi (no vocal)
7. Tsubasa Chronicle - A Song of Storm and Fire (no vocal)
8. Final Fantasy series - "surf rock" chocobo
9. FF7 - One Winged Angel (audience sings the chorus!! EPIC!)
Kalafina
[3 girls on stage only; audience sees from left: Hikaru, Keiko, Wakana]
1. oblivious
2. Mata kaze ga tsuyoku natta
3. love come down
[self-introduction]
4. lacrimosa
5. natsu no ringo
6. fairytale
[drink + talk about KnK]
7. ARIA
8. ongaku
9. sprinter
10. kizuato
["end", then.... they put a keyboard on the stage.......
and......Yuki Kajiura enters......]
11. Kimi ga hikari ni kaete iku
12. gloria
(the last two songs were accompanied by only yuki's piano)
- It was so cool!! We were seated right under Wakana, and she kept singing "at" us it was really kind of bad sounding in the front row and not a good experience if you haven't heard kalafina's songs before because the bass muffles the other sounds, but being so close was epic!!
- at the END... the 6 of us walked to a gap in the curtain between backstage and audience.... and we waved at kalafina as they left, and they WAVED BACK AT US and said "i love you" to us!! I shouted "i love you" back
That was the main highlight of the day...
the rest was a second signing session (same as first day, but this time I got seventh heaven signed) with the structure of an assembly line, they were so busy signing as fast as they could, they couldn't even look up at us ;_; but Keiko was really fascinated with Dionashi's Kurogane costume collar
The masquerade was fun too! after we got the autographs, the line to masquerade was SO LONG it went around the entire building and down to the lower FLOOR O_O but Dionashi being a LOCAL, led us to the "secret" balcony area and we got reallly great seats :D
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/ ... G_1828.jpg
Then there was the dance
no pix
im sleepy
other people have pix go ask them *yaawwn*
DAY 3
The last day!! not many events planned; only a panel and then a short appearance at the closing ceremony.
As we were waiting for the first event, I got a call from gillsa, saying that in the dealers room, they were giving away their promo posters if we bought 1 keychain + 1 mirror + 1 CD!! There were only a few posters, and they are biiiiiig :D so our party rushed down and got them~
I was lucky, I was already planning to buy another keychain+mirror at Chibi's request, and I also was missing the normal oblivious single :)
Here is the big poster, it's double sided; the other side is the orange photo that people say looks like ali project
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/ ... G_1844.jpg
Kalafina/KnK panel
- This was the only kalafina event; like the previous panel, it is NO CAMERAS allowed!! but of course there's nothing wrong with recording the sound :D
(I actually forgot the record the first question but it was not asked to yukifina)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F16SASGM
- We were in the third row, but I had a good view ^_^ Yuki wore a black/white butterfly print shirt, and the girls wore (i think...) the outfits they wore for the Hokuto no Ken performance (epithalamion etc)
- Dionashi got another "good question!" from the mediator XD
- Everyone who lined up to ask a question got a free book (FAUST) that contains the first chapter of Nasu's KnK novel (Dionashi and Mercurius both).
- At the end there was a quiz where the first person to raise their hand got to answer some really easy questions, and win a signed KnK poster by the producer, kalafina, and yuki. Dionashi was called to answer, but the guy behind him answered instead and went up to claim the prize! >_<
- Everyone else got free unsigned posters.
(I just want to clarify right now, that the guests always leave the room before the audience is allowed to leave, so we can't follow them)
Prize-chase!!
Dionashi had his prize "stolen"!!!!!
so we asked the mediator/translator girl (shes soooo nice <3) if he could get his free poster signed....
Mercurius was also promised an autograph from the producer, so she took us upstairs....
in front of the SECRET HIDEOUT ROOM!!! room 300
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/ ... G_1845.jpg
and came out a while later with the signed items.
We hoped they'd come out to see us but haha of course they security.... ^^;
After this, we roamed a bit, and Mercurius/Zurra/Joshua left the party.
Remaining members: Theo, Kerahna, Dionashi
Closing Ceremony
- We went in just to see Kalafina say goodbye, it was so sad to see them again just to watch them leave, that due to the high security, we didn't even get to talk with them or take a proper photo
Post-ending SURPRISE
- Convention was OVER... nothing left to do.... saw Kalafina, said "i love you", gave book.....
- we picked up Dionashi's luggage, and headed to the hotel lobby to wait for his family to pick him up to go home
- only we weren't the only people in the lobby.. . . .
- GUESS WHO ELSE WAS IN THE LOBBY
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/ ... C_2360.jpg
Yuki recognized my name tag and complimented our book, and told me to say
hi to everyone on canta-per-me~
