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.

These hand towels are a nice size.  At first, from the graphic in the pdf on the FJC website, I thought that they would be smaller.  But as you can tell from the first photo, the towel is placed on top of my Microsoft Surface Pro 3 which is 11.5 x 7.93 inches and that towel is broader than 7.93 inches.

I like hand towels, I do use them, when I remember to shove one in my pocket. :P  But since I don't think I would end up using these, I decided to just pick up one for monochrome.  If they had Identify's and it looked cool, I might have picked that one instead. :P

Here we have Kalafina mineral water. (I like to call it Kalafina Holy Water. :P )

  

I have no idea what this taste like.  I'm presuming it'll taste like most mineral water would?  Although mineral water does have different taste depending on which company's water you buy, I don't think I'll ever know how this will taste because I don't intend to open it, much less drink it.

I also have no idea why they decided to produce mineral water as one of the tour goods.  LOL. I have been sending photos of their live goods, as well as Kajiura Yuki's live goods, to a friend who commented earlier this year that both Kalafina and Kajiura Yuki have some pretty uncommon live goods.  I think mineral water for a autumn live tour is quite unusual, in my opinion. :)

I do suspect that the reason why they had mineral water has something to do with the title of the album.  There are two tracks titled far on the water and into the water on this album after all.  I personally think it's kind of a cute idea to offer this as a good. It certainly is some what unusual, just like their music too. :)

The bottle is quite pretty but not very big or tall.  Sort of a mini size bottle and it contains 330ml of liquid.  The bottom half is bluish, while the top bit is not tinted at all.  Bear in mind, that if you're an international and intend to buy this item, do make sure to check it into your luggage, if not you might find yourself chugging it down at customs just so that you can keep the bottle.

Here we have the B4 size poster set.

These were really hard to shoot in that hotel room in Tokyo.  I could try and re-shoot them here in Singapore but there is quite a bit to get through and I don't really want to sleep late today.  There is a reason I am on medical leave today. :(

So... these not terribly well photographed versions of the poster set will have to suffice... gomen!

   


Next up, it's the member produced goods.  This is the Keiko produced shoelaces.

I bought three of these. :P  But actually only two are for me.  The third one is for a friend who is a big Hikaru fan.

  

I don't always get the member produced goods. I usually only get the ones that I like or think that I may use.  Some times I regret not getting them, like when I decided not to get Keiko's hairband from the Budokan lives.  I don't use hairbands and would probably never use it but... but... but... it would be nice to own it. :P

Now the shoelaces on the other hand, I can totally see myself using. :)  So I bought two sets for myself. One to keep and one to use.  For 1000 yen, you get two sets of shoelaces, one blue and one white pair.  They are a pretty good length of about 130 cm and can be used in shoes that are higher than ankle length.  I forgot to take them both out the shoot them at full length but I think it's not hard to imagine what the white one looks like.  The blue pair has stripes of blue and the Kalafina logo at both ends. The white one has yellow stars scattered all almost all the way, with the Kalafina logo at both ends.

I used them on my Vans Beatles sneakers for the live on Sunday.  They look quite pretty on my shoes, I must say.  But in the end, after the live, even though I did buy this set to use, I ended up switching back to my old shoelaces... hahahaha... I can't bear to mess these laces up too much. :P

Hikaru was suggesting that we don't need to use these shoelaces on our shoes during the MC at the live on Sunday.  Hikaru does all the goods introduction and on Sunday, she introduced the member produced goods.  So I'm following Hikaru's advice.  I took off these laces after Sunday night and now I just have to think what I'm going to use them for. :)

I actually also got the Hikaru produced Wall Pocket.



Unfortunately, I can't do a proper unboxing of this item because this isn't for me.  I bought this for the same friend who asked me to help him buy the Keiko produced shoelaces so I can't just open it without his permission.

I did do an unboxing post of the first Wall Pocket that Hikaru produced ages ago.  That's on his blog.  If you want to check out that post please CLICK ME.  It comes with proper photos etc so you can get a better idea of what this item is.

This time, Hikaru designed this to just fit two across and four down.  The previous version was three across and three down.  She elaborated on the reason why she designed it this way this time.  She figured that most of us will have run out of wall space by now or we are running out of wall space soon.  So instead of producing a wall pocket that's so with, she decided to produce one that's longer instead.  That's so considerate of you Hikaru. :)

Truth is, I would like to have picked up at least two of these for myself, I can think of a place in my room where I could hang them.  But I decided not to get them because I had a budget I was trying to keep to.  If they still have these at the Jan lives and if I have some spare cash in my budget, I may pick these up for myself.

The one thing I definitely regret not getting at the live now are those blue wristbands.  Keiko said it during the live, I think it was on Sunday, that she liked seeing the audience wear those wrists bands when they raise their hands during the lives.  She also likes to see us wear the live t-shirts.  I never get those wrist bands.  So I really regretted not getting them this time.  So next time in Jan, I'll try and get the blue ones and wear them at the live.  I usually don't wear the live t-shirts but I will probably bring the charcoal one to the live in Jan and wear it at the live too. :)

Okay.... I think that's all for today.  I'm tiring and I would like to sleep soon. :)

I'll probably write more tomorrow.
