Kalafina ~ far on the water - Animate tokuten postcard

This is the last of my newly acquired Kalafina tokuten postcards.  I just received this from friends who helped me to purchase the analog version of far on the water from Animate.  I didn't try for all the tokuten postcards this time, just like I didn't try to do it with One Light too.  I only managed that feat with ring your bell.  Still, whatever I managed to get makes me happy. :)

Kalafina Museum ~ Budokan tote bag & Animate postcard

I didn't bring much to Japan with me on this trip.  Usually on a longer trip, I might pack my large duffel bag in my much smaller cabin size suitcase.  But this time, since it was only a 4 day 3 night trip and I was trying out a new hotel in an unfamiliar place, I didn't want to be burdened by a lot of luggage.

The biggest thing on my mind was that skateboard that I had bought. :P  I got a standard size street skateboard because I only own a nickel and I wanted a bigger board this time to try and do some simple tricks. :P

And those r my Vans shoes w/out the Keiko
produced shoelaces. Don't want to mess
those shoelaces up. :P

Hi guys, I have a few Kalafina CDs that I would like to sell.  This is just one of them.

It's not because I don't want them but because I already have them and I got these because I wanted the tokuten that came with them. :P

I currently own the LE+BD edition of far on the water album with Keiko's solo picture no less. :P Actually, the LE+BD comes with Wakana's.  But since I also purchased the RE to get the Kalafina towel from HMV, I swapped out the insert booklets so that my LE+BD would have Keiko's solo picture.  The RE version with Wakana's solo picture, I gave it to a friend whom I've been slowly "poisoning" with Kalafina's music. :D

Ah... I forgot to upload this photo in one of the goods post so I thought I'll just post it up in a post on it's own.  :)

Kalafina ~ far on the water - tour live goods - part 2

This is a continuation of my Kalafina ~ far on the water - tour live goods post.  The first post just got too long so I decided to split it up. :)

So first up is the microfibre hand towel.

  

There were two available at the Tokyo lives. One for monochrome and the other was for into the water.  These hand towels will change at every location that they go to except for HK and Taiwan. I'm not sure which ones will be available at Osaka.  Maybe they will be the next two on the tracklist on the album.  That would be Gogatsu no Mahou and ring your bell.

Kalafina ~ far on the water - tour live goods - part 1

I was on medical leave today and now that I feel loads better, I thought I'll try and finish up the live goods post at one go because I didn't buy that much this time. :P  BUT... the post started to get really long, so I'll just do a part 1 now and a part 2 will follow.

I think I didn't go as crazy as I did at the Budokan lives or at Yuki Kajiura Live vol.12.  I didn't buy as many things this time.  Not because I didn't want to but because I thought I should be a little more controlled in my spending since I will be travelling to Japan again to see Kalafina live again in Jan at the far on the water final lives. I'll need money to do that and then there is a planned March trip to Japan to attend a friend's wedding.  Moreover, I didn't bring a very big luggage bag this time and didn't bring along my large duffel bag because I intended to carry back a skateboard from Japan as well. :P

The full list of goods that will be available can be see from the FJC website.  Click me.

So this time this is my damage:

1x t-shirt
1x pamphlet
1x vocal score
1x postcard set
1x B4 size poster set
1x mineral water
1x microfibre hand towel (monochrome)
3x Keiko produced shoelaces (one of them not for me)
1x Hikaru produced wall pocket (also not for me)

So here goes...

First up.... postcard set. :)

Kalafina Calendar 2016 ~ unboxing + FJC postcards

I honestly thought I would blog more in Japan on this trip because I was pretty much travelling on my own this time.  But in the end, I had appointments for virtually every meal with friends.  It was a good trip, good live, good food and good company.  I even managed to get in some rest even though I didn't sleep as much as I should have. :P  Still, it was a good escape from work and I needed that. :)

I actually took photos of pretty much everything Kalafina related that I got at the far on the water live in the hotel on this trip.  I had intended to do the unboxings in Japan but never got around to doing it.  So let me squeeze one in now.  This is the Kalafina Calendar. 2016.  The calendar isn't actually released yet.  That will happen two days from now.  Early released copies were made available from the goods table at the live in Tokyo on the 10th & 11th Oct.  I picked up my copy from the FictionJunction Club table on the 10th because they come with special FJC postcards.  There is also one tokuten postcard available with the regular release but I don't have a photo of it.

Kalafina ~ far on the water - holy water :P

I got me some Kalafina holy mineral water. :P

Splurged a little. :P

Japan Trip 2015 Oct ~ Day 2.1

Good morning from Tokyo, Japan!!! :)  I'm really not planning to do much during this trip.  My only plans were to attend Kalafina's far on the water lives, buy a skateboard, meet friends and eat, try and buy a Mario Kart DS cartridge and just rest.

I don't want this to be a stressful trip at all.  It's like my escape from reality trip that I made several years ago to Japan.  Watch a live, go to Disney Sea and do NOTHING was my plan then. LOL.

Japan Trip 2015 Oct ~ Day 1.2

I'm about to fall asleep in my hotel room now. :)

I was thinking I might tweet or mobile blog more today but I had some trouble getting a mobile SIM card and then had trouble getting it to work. By the time that was done it was time to meet my friend for dinner.

I ate at one of my favourite places to eat burgers in Tokyo, although I went for the steak today. :)

Japan Trip 2015 Oct ~ Day 1.1

I am waiting for my flight to Tokyo right now. So glad for a short break from work. :)

This time it's only going to be a short trip. It is pretty much just a concert run to catch the opening two lives for Kalafina's "far on the water" lives. :)

Okay....gonna chill for a bit...it is too early in the morning. :)

Oh... looks like those of us who are Ieiri Leo fans will be happy with this announce. :)  They will be releasing  her "20 ~ 4th live tour ~" on BD and DVD.  Yay for me! :)  I'll be picking up the BD for sure.

As usual, Ieiri's management company released the cover art for the release on the day of the announce.  It's their usual practice.  The BD and DVD covers look vastly different. LOL.

This is the BD cover art.
