Kalafina ~ One Light - RE & LE CDs unboxing

Ahhhhhhhhhh.... you have no idea how less stress I feel now that one portion of my work has been completed and delivered.  I delivered it at 4am last night so have only slept 3 hours and am still feeling kind of a delirious high one gets when you body compensates for the lack of sleep by pumping you full of strange chemicals. :P  I was barely surviving for the last 2 to 3 weeks.  I really couldn't deal with very much else except work for a while.  There's still a lot of work to be done and this week will probably see more OT.  But the days of working till 3 to 4 am should be over for now. :)

So although I prefer to blog at night rather than before work, I do have a little time to blog since I decided not to do my morning exercise routine in favour of extra sleep so since there is a window of opportunity, I'll take it. :)

It'll be picture heavy again since I do have to go to work in a bit. :)

First up Regular Edition photos.

Kalafina ~ One Light - Vinyl / analog unboxing

I decided to try and do this in parts since the likelihood of me working on the weekend is high.  We might have to work on both days too and I don't want to let it wait for too long since it might become like the Yuki Kajiura Best Live vol.2 and Ieiri Leo releases which I have yet to do.

As usual, I bought all copies but I'll only do the vinyl release in this post.  It'll also be picture heavy and text light because I have to prepare to go to work very soon after writing this post.

Kalafina ~ One Light ~

My package has arrived!! As usual I bought all the versions. :)



This is just a short post while I wait for a long render at work. I hope I don't get out too late again. A lot of work lately...realistically speaking I don't think I can do this unboxing till sometime on Saturday. But I may have to work the weekend again....so we'll see.

Okay...render looks like it might be done soon.

Cheers :)

Kalafina ~ One Light - audio samples released

source

I just heard the audio samples for the other tracks on the soon to be released One Light single from Kalafina.  And I must say I'm really, really, really looking forward to the release of this single and hearing the B-side singles in full now. :)  If you want to listen to them too, CLICK ME.

Those who follow my blog will know that I like Keiko the best of the three vocalists in Kalafina and I was a little disappointed that Keiko was mixed under by a lot in One Light.  Well, at least in the tv size version of that track I could only really hear her clearly in two lines then she was mixed really under even in the harmony.  That doesn't mean that I didn't like the song at all because of that reason.  I actually am really in love with that chorus even though it's mostly Hikaru and Wakana who lead in that chorus. :)

Kalafina ~ Kalafina Museum - Animate postcards

The tokuten that Animate was giving out for the purchase of the Kalafina The Best Red Day / Blue Day Budokan Lives BDs was a nice case to slot these BDs in.  And yes... I actually haven't done that unboxing yet. :(  I really did to get on with it because One Light will ship soon enough so there will be more unboxings to deal with. *sweat

Anyway.... I digress... :P

I had the opportunity to purchase these BDs from Animate with the help of a very kind friend (thank you!) and so I decided to take that opportunity.  What made this even sweeter for me is that the purchase of these items coincided with one of the promotional events for the release of these BDs & DVDs.  That was the Kalafina Museum.  That's when they display some of the costumes that Kalafina wears during the lives, put up a bunch of photographs and sell you some merchandise. I think that Kalafina Museum is usually at one of the branches at Animate.  I went to one a few years ago and it was at Animate too.

Kalafina ~ Budokan Lives BDs ~ CDJapan poster tokuten

I'm really busy lately.  Work has been really interesting and my skills are improving everyday with each new task I have been getting lately.  So that's great and all but the blog and my personal life has slowed down quite a bit.  But I really don't want to stop blogging for too long.  I do enjoy it.  I find it relaxing. :)

So just to keep at it... here's two short posts. :)  I intended to do these much much earlier but I've been so busy and also very tired.  So after I shoot of these two very short posts, I will go brush my teeth and go to sleep.

So, here's the first one.

For those of you who pre-ordered these:

Kalafina LIVE THE BEST 2015 Red Day BD or DVD
Kalafina LIVE THE BEST 2015 Blue Day BD or DVD

You should have received this poster.   It's quite a nice poster and is one of the nicer tokutens that CDJapan has given out for the purchase of a Kalafina item. :)

For those of you who didn't purchase these items from CDJapan, I shot a few photos for your viewing pleasure. :)

 

Kalafina ~ far on the water tour - HK & Taiwan legs

Wow... Hong Kong is so lucky. :(  Kalafina is going there again.  This time as part of the far on the water tour.  And this time they are also going to Taiwan.

Okay... I am a little depressed now.  So close yet so far. :(

I cannot do HK and Taiwan.  I'm already going to far on the water's Tokyo lives in October and also going to the lives in Tokyo in Jan 2016.  I'm going to be so broke. :(

I tried to fit HK in because I know that there will probably be autograph opportunities unlike their lives in Japan.  But it's too hard.  I have given that up.
