Kalafina ~ ring your bell - cover art released

Kalafina has released the cover artwork for their soon to be released single "ring your bell", the ending theme for Fate/stay night [UBW].  The cover art for the anime version and the analog version were released earlier.  These is the cover art for the Regular Edition, the Limited Edition (DVD) and the Limited Edition (BD) :)  CLICK ME to view the cover art for the anime and analog versions.

They all look nice! :)  My favourite is the Regular Edition cover because I think Keiko looks really cool in that photo. :P

Now I'm just waiting for tokuten infomation. :)

If you wish to purchase these singles, I usually get mine from CDJapan and you are welcome to use these links if you wish.

Here are the versions (source SMEJ):

Rest in Peace Mr. Lee Kuan Yew

Today I am sad. The first Prime Minister of Singapore has passed away and I am sad.

To me he was a great man who gathered the best people for the job and gave Singaporeans a safe haven to live, work and play.  Without him, Singapore would not be the Singapore we live in today.  He was not a perfect man and never claimed to be one.  He was sometimes controversial and unconventional but his steely determination and strong beliefs was what Singapore needed in more troubled times.  Under his guidance and his leadership, Singapore has gone from a messy British colony to one of the most prosperous countries in the world.  I know my family and I can live the life we live because he did what he had to do.

Thank you Mr. Lee Kuan Yew for all that you have done for this little red dot.  Thank you for all the hard decisions, the unpopular but necessary ones too, and for devoting your entire life to the betterment of this nation.

Rest in peace Mr. Lee Kuan Yew.  Today, I mourn with the rest of my fellow countrymen at the lost of one of the most important men in the history of our young nation.

Kalafina ~ LIVE THE BEST 2015 “Blue Day” / overall comments ~ my awesome experience

It's been 21 days since I experienced one of the best lives I have ever experienced in my life.  And I say it with great sincerity and without exaggeration.  I think most, if not all, of the people who were in the Budokan on the 1st Mar 2015 will tell you that it was an awesome live.

I'm bias of course and I don't hide it.  I have been a dedicated Kalafina fan since I first saw them live in Japan in Dec 2010 and I have progressively become more and more in love with both Kajiura Yuki and what is probably one of her most successful vocal project to date.

"Blue Day" began pretty blue for all who were in Tokyo that day.  It was a dark, gloomy, rainy and cold day.  I spent part of the day in Harajuku showing my friend who was travelling with me what Harajuku was about.  Admittedly, half my mind was on the Kalafina live which was to be held in the Budokan later that day.  While I wanted to be a responsible friend and not ditch my friend who had never been to Japan previously and who spoke almost no Japanese, it was hard for me not to think of tearing away to dash to the Budokan to buy some "Blue Day" goods.

This may turn out to be a nice figure. But I am bias because I'm a big KnK fan. :P

L'Arc en Ciel ~ Over the L'Arc en Ciel docu - ustream

source

Just a really quick thing for Laruku fans.

I saw this over twitter on my way home.  It looks like they will be making the docu available online via ustream.  So if you miss the theatrical screening in Singapore or any other country or if it wasn't ever screened in your country, you can watch it now. Unfortunately, it isn't free.  You have to buy a ticket to view it.

There are a few screen times available from the 23rd Mar to the 31st Mar.  The link to the ustream webpage for this event is here... CLICK ME.  Please check for screen times there.  You can also purchase your ticket there.
