Updates to the interviews page

It's been forever since I've been on here and I have new stuff I can add. Note you can also find these in the database link below. Just click the image in my signature. You can find there a bunch of pamphlets, including almost every single FictionJunction newsletter to date. I now have every single one. It's just getting off my butt and scanning 1-4. I'm also a member of FictionJunction Station, so while I won't provide the Japanese text to some of her posts publicly, if someone wants to translate a few, I'm happy to send that person the text. One seems to go into detail on how she went about some of her latest work and the recording process.

I decided to repost the following on my minds account as it's less of a load time than tumblr.
https://www.minds.com/MistressOfTheObvious

Kalafina interviews:
Anican R 126
Tsutaya Animation 9
Tsutaya Animation 10

note these ones I found and did not scan myself:
B-Pass May 2017
B-Pass Septermber 2017
Madoka Magica: You Are Not Alone Guidebook
Newtype April 2012
Weekly Playboy 10 February 2015 (includes link to a translation provided by kuroiyuki88) - warning adult

FictionJunction and Yuki Kajiura (found):
Madoka Magica: You Are Not alone Guidebook (again)
Mai Hime Visual Collection Artbook
Newtype March 2009
 
Added some more. Some I know you already have. Apologies for the double post, my logic was that those were internet interviews and these are paper ones. The following are all ones I found and did not scan myself.

Kalafina:
Anican Free 69
Kera Archive (just contains Kalafina interviews and articles - mostly small interviews)
Megami Magazine with a rough translation from a Madoka Magica site (partnered with a FictionJunction interview - it's the one Aki saved linking my Tumblr page)
Weekly Spa September 13 2016 - warning adult

FictionJunction:
Unknown (along with Megami Magazine - see Kalafina)

Kaori Oda:
Anican R Music 5 (along with Yuki Kajiura and Revo's interview regarding Dream Port)

Yuuka Nanri:
Anican Free 69 (see Kalafina)

Yuki Kajiura:
Anican R Music 5
Kirara Magica
Otona Anime 20
Newtype from 2004
Unknown

Also on my Minds account is FictionJunction Extra, Salon de Horizon 13 (recap of Dream Port), and Lisani! Live 2011 with Kalafina and Yuuka Nanri, which I scanned. I'll go through all my stuff and see what has interviews. Just about every FictionJunction newsletter has an interview and a lot of the pamphlets as well.
 
You literally posted more the second I was about to say "thanks, I downloaded all of it!" Damn YK looks so young on the cover of Anican R Music 5.

Also I can be wrong but your 'Newtype Archive' link was taken down

Every single Harmony issue is now available. I have the completed scans for the last few FictionJunction Club newsletters done, which means every single issue of that will have been scanned and available. Some I'm not happy with the quality that are older ones, so I might do clean up and re-scan some of them. They're all currently active in the link on my banner signature.

I also have a youtube channel dedicated to finding all the video interviews I can find on various sites and ones I have in my archive and uploading them. You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZemdDYLKMYGSG5EImMQYuw

I am bad at using minds. I already have followed your stuff for quite a while and I'm basically looking to grab all the 'new' stuff but actually I can't find them for some reason, it doesn't help there is no good search feature on there. Plz help locate them.

------------
Edit 1:

I found your stuff more up to date on here it seems, in case anyone is looking:
https://mistress-of-the-obvious.tumblr.com
Sankyuu beri macchu!
 
Yeah, I'm moving my old Tumblr stuff over to Minds. It's not more up to date, it just has more older stuff until I transfer everything over there. Actually, the most up to date place to get my stuff is here.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17_ouaZ6Zd0hXi6DdVj2pGFG8ksrEj0a2gdKNqQ40vGk/edit?usp=sharing
That link above has a new better version of FictionJunction Club 1 for download, as well as FictionJunction Club 2-4. I haven't put them on any site yet. I still have to go through some of my old scans because I'm not happy with the quality. I'll keep you all updated on any ones I fix with the new link. You can also see my collection of all the books I have and plan to scan.

I can give you the individual links on Minds though.

Thank you! I didn't expect such a big response, actually I had all your things except the 'new' so far, so I hope others take advantage of this. That said I am grabbing the 4 FJ Club new rips you mentioned. I am glad you did these because I did find that some of the older rips around were too small to get a proper look at them.
 
Yes it would be good to keep a track of all interviews with small summaries too. The "Interviews" section hasn't been updated this year and I think there's like a dozen of them ^^
 
I ll updated soon, i have 6 saved (3 Fena, 1 SAO, 1 HF and this new one from the university) on my pc but not sure about the rest, you can help if you want :)
 
Let's do it. DeepL + manual reading side-to-side to fix possible inconsistencies.

There is at least 3 SAO interviews.

I transferred all my stuff to Archive.org

I now have every single Yuki Kajiura Live and Kalafina concert pamphlet (these often contain interviews). I'm missing a few one off concert pamphlets (I own all the Lisani, Animax, and Animelo ones). Many of those also have interviews. I'm also up to date on FictionJunction Station newsletters. Sadly, I'm just not good at limited time releases, so I'm missing the majority of FictionJunction Station Radio shows. I'm now on to magazines and anime books.

https://archive.org/details/@mistress_of_the_obvious
https://archive.org/details/fictionjunction-club

Some of the magazine pages came loose, and I don't know what magazine they came from. All documents uploaded have a zip download in the download option.

Stuff not Kalafina or Yuki Kajiura (so you don't waste your time):
Newtype Magazine - April 2011
Newtype Magazine - February 2009
May'n Offical Fanclub Magazine - Volume 45
Sex Pot Revenge Vinyl Syndicate - Volume 22
Sex Pot Revenge Vinyl Syndicate - Volume 21
Backstage B=Pass Magazine - July 2017
Yuuka Nanri P.S. Official Fanclub Newsletter - Volume 1
Yuuka Nanri P.S. Offical Fanclub Newsletter - Volume 2

Volume 3 of Yuuka's fanclub newsletter does have a lot of FictionJunction content. Hikaru was technically part of Kalafina during her birthday event pamphlet, it was outtakes from the Kalafina fanclub newsletter. Then there are those last few Kalafina fanclub newsletters that are in that odd category of when it was just Hikaru and Wakana, and later just Wakana.

I also have a Youtube channel. It's mostly an interview channel of the main players of the Yuki Kajiura family (so any solo career interviews on top of Kalafina and Yuki Kajiura). I'm also tinkering with 4K remaster software to upgrade old poor quality video. Let me know what you think. Most of all of it are reposts of stuff I found from VK, Bilibili, NicoDouga, etc. but I do find and record some stuff when I remembered to.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZemdDYLKMYGSG5EImMQYuw

I also plan to go into the gallery and upload some images there. I've finally broken down and started on post cards (they also make for quick and easy scans). I'm going to upload only Kalafina, Yuki Kajiura/FictionJunction, and FictionJunction Yuuka images there. If you want any post card images of Keiko, Kaori, or Yuuka solo projects, you'll have to find them on my archive or other places.
