mahou shoujo madoka bluray vol.4 unboxing

This is going to be yet another short post.  Work has been v v v v busy and I just managed to get a bit of respite today.  I spent it watching 2 more episodes of Toda Erika in Keizoku 2: SPEC and totally loving her performance. :)  And then I spent a little time taking photos of the unboxing of Mahou Shoujo Madoka bluray special edition with bonus CD.  YAY!!!  This time, it's Vol.2 of Kajiura Yuki's ost for this series.  While this isn't my favourite Kajiura ost, my current favourite is probably music from Kara no Kyoukai, still I like this ost plenty.

Anyway, let's cut to the chase and put up the photos.  Then I need to go get some shut-eye.




Just a few more things before I go.  A few days ago, Kalafina announced that they will be releasing their new album, titled "After Eden", in Sept.  Yesterday, they announced that that date has been fixed.  The new album will be released on the 21st Sept 2011. :)  Yay!!!!!  It seems like Sony will also release through Sony Magazine, an official yet to be titled Kalafina book.  This book will contain photos of the 3 Kalafina girls, interviews, a report of the Spring "Magia" Tour and Kajiura Yuki's commentary on all the tracks (I presume only those written for Kalafina and not including non-Kalafina related songs).    This book will be released on the 16th Sept to commemorate the release of the 3rd album.  This sounds EPIC to me!!!!!!  I just hope I translated it correctly since my Japanese is still kinda "下手".  I hope this book will be easy to pre-order cuz I am so getting it.

Back to the album, there will be 2 versions as usual.  One is the regualar edition and the other is the limited edition.  The limited edition will contain a dvd with the PV of "symphonia", which I think should be the theme song for the latest season of the NHK documentary Rekishi Hiwa Historia (歴史秘话ヒストリア), as well as live video footage and documentary footage about the trio's trip to the Anime Expo 2011 event.  In addition to the DVD, there will also be a 40 page pamphlet.  According to CDJapan, the end theme song for the 2nd season of Kuroshitsuji (Kagayaku Sora no Seijaku niwa) and Magia (the end theme for Mahou Shoujo Madoka) will be included in this album release.  I'm thinking "symphonia" maybe included too since the PV is included.  I've already pre-ordered the limited edition of course. :D

Meanwhile, if you have money to burn and are starved for some Kalafina products, according to the Kalafina website, the just published 「リスアニ! Vol.06」 (Risuani Vol.06) has a little bit about Kalafina's trip to the Anime Expo 2011 in Los Angeles recently.  I checked out the cover of Risuani Vol.06 and Kalafina isn't mentioned on the cover.  So I think it's most likely not a very long article... chances are it's just a one page... hence, I'm hesitant about getting it.  I did get Risuani Vol.05 cuz Madoka was one of the features.  But if it's just a one page... I think I'll pass and save it for that official yet to be titled Kalafina book. :)

K... that's it... I need to sleep.  Till next time... take care y'all.
