Psycho Pass movie to screen in Singapore in June 2015

I'm going to be very brief because I need to scoot off to work very soon.

But just when I wondered whether they were really ever going to screen the Psycho Pass movie in SG, here's a tease from Aniplus HD's FB stating that they intend to screen it in June in SG only.


A little something for our Singapore audience. :)

These jacket covers were released on Wednesday afternoon (yesterday) but I was really busy at work and didn't have time to deal.  So here they are for those who haven't seen them yet. :)

Kalafina ~ Backstage Pass Vol.6 magazine interview (small bit translated)


I got this magazine in the same shipment that delivered Kalafina's ring your bell CDs. :)  I also got AJ Girls Vol.1 with this order but photos of that have been floating around the internet for a while, so I'm undecided if I'll do a post on it.  What's missing from the set of photos floating around the internet is the one-page interview that accompanies the photoshoot.

I have seen what I think are the photos from the Backstage Pass Vol.6 magazine floating around the internet.  These photos are accompanied by the description of each vocalist's voice and if I remember those lines on those pictures correctly, they should be the first line that is written in the Backstage Pass Vol.6 magazine.

Kalafina's harmony is like synchronised swimming

On Saturday evening, I fired up my computer and connected via VPN to listen to a radio programme on NHK radio.  It's titled 歌え!土曜日 Love Hits (Sing!  Saturday Love Hits). After sitting through a couple of songs, we get to Kalafina's section at the end.

Since my listening comprehension is really quite terrible, I decided to attempt to record it so I could try and listen to it again and again if I needed to.  In the end, I still can't comprehend all of it. :P  But some day... some day I WILL!!!  :P

Anyway, in this radio interview, Keiko said something that I really, really liked.

She said that Kalafina's harmony is like synchronised swimming.

Kajiura Yuki & Tomoharu Takahashi ~ tweets

I was just going through Twitter and saw this.  I know, maybe two weeks ago, Kajiura Yuki tweeted about writing a new song but she revealed no other details.

Now, this.

Kajiura Yuki tweeted a photo of some of the Front Band Members in the recording suite a little while ago.  This tweet was accompanied by a short simple text that merely said, "Today band."  That was followed later with a message that said that the recording has been finished and she thanked everyone for their hard work

Tomoharu "Jr" Takahashi, who plays bass, tweeted two lines.  One on his own account and one in reply to Kajiura Yuki's tweet.  He wrote in reply to Kajiura Yuki's tweet that it was a good song and also tweeted on his own account that a good song has been recorded.

Kalafina ~ ring your bell - vinyl record version - unboxing


I finally got the LP version of Kalafina's ring your bell single in the mail on Monday.  This completes my collection of all the versions for this release. :P  Unfortunately, I don't have a way of playing this LP because I don't own a turntable. :(  So fingers crossed that this sells so well that Sony will grant ufotable's founder Kondo Hikaru's wish that they will release a LP containing all of Kalafina's Kara no Kyoukai songs.  I will totally buy it in a heartbeat, that's for sure.  Then maybe if they keep releasing LPs I'll have a reason to actually buy a turntable. :D

I'll keep this post relatively short too because there isn't really that much to say and also because I've been putting in quite a bit of OT at the office recently and I think I'm falling ill again, so I should sleep soon if I can.

First up, photos. :)

Kalafina ~ ring your bell - vinyl record version - unboxing tease

As you can tell from the time stamp on this post, it's really pretty late.  So much as I would love to do the unboxing tonight, I think I should sleep.  It was a long day at work today and I think tomorrow may be equally long.  Hence, here you go, just a photo of my Kalafina ring your bell vinyl record version. :)


I've already shot photos of this release and I'll post them up tomorrow, if I don't return home too late. I'll also pen some thoughts about Amazon Japan's failed packaging. :(  And how I wish I was able to order this from CDJapan. ;(

For now... good night! :)
