Perfume Live in Singapore - videos

Ohhhh... there are videos of two news packaged regarding Perfume's recently concluded live at Scape in Singapore.  Cool!!!!!  Now I can re-live some of the experience. :)  My friends and I spotted ourselves in the crowd but I'm not telling you who we are in there. :)

I must say... after the concert, I was soooo high... I'm seriously considering going to the EOY on the 11th Dec.  Initially, I didn't want to go because I didn't want to spend any more money... but... hmmmm.... I'm beginning to lean more favourable towards going.

Anwayz... as usually, I have a ton of posts I would like to write but no time to do so. :(  My final book in the Mahou Shoujo Madoka Key Animation artbook series has arrived and it is cool... but I haven't even had time to do vol.5's unboxing yet.... (00;)  Got to gambatte!!! :)

Sadly... lately... I have been really tired and I am going to go to bed almost immediately after I post this.  Here are the youtube videos... :)

(Thanks SGCafe ~ I got this news of they website)





SGCafe also posted up a review of the concert.  Here's the link.  I don't think I have time to do my own review...  at least... don't wait for me... read their review here.... click me.

I'm not a Perfume fan and I don't think I am yet... but I think they are really fun to watch live and would totally go to see them live again.  I have a very wide taste in music.. so although this isn't my favourite genre, I like Perfume's songs enough to want to buy an album or two.  Am very close to getting this compilation album... :)



K... time for better... tired.  Oyasumi. :)

Perfume in Singapore ~ fun!!!

I had such a good time at Scape today. The concert was so fun and we were right at the front. The 3 girls danced so well and we jumped and danced a lot!!

Perfume had a special guest star today... Doraemon!!! They announced that they will sing the theme song for the new movie next year.

Soooo.... cool.... we were so close... I could really see their faces and the twinkle in their eyes. Awesome!!! :)

The track list for Kalafina's 5th Anniversary Live Selection 2009 - 2012 CD/DVD+Blu-ray has been released.  I think this was released either yesterday or today.  I'm not too sure, I've been kind of busy lately and haven't had time to blog much.

28.	[Disc 2] to the beginning
29.	[Disc 2] symphonia

Looks like a good track list to me. :)  I'm not sure which of the 9 lives they are using but I'm hoping it's not from any of those that have already been released on dvd and blu-ray because that would kind of suck.

Of course the Anna ni Issho Datta no ni performance from Animielo 2009 did not end up in the CD... that was just my wishful thinking. :)

In other Kalafina news... Hikari Furu continues to do well on the Oricon charts.  Earlier this week, the single managed to push past to the beginning to become Kalafina's best selling CD single yet.  Omedetou!!! :)

Also, CDJapan is also offering Hikari Furu LE DVD and LE BD at a 10% discount.  It's not a HUGE discount but if anyone's been thinking of getting the singles... it's something worth considering.  Too bad the regular version isn't discounted.... I think I might really have caved into temptation. :)

Here are the links for the 5th Anniv collection and the Hikari Furu single again.  Once again, if you can afford it.... please buy them. :)

Hikari Furu

Hikari Furu [w/ Blu-ray, Limited Edition / Type-B]

Hikari Furu [w/ DVD, Limited Edition / Type-A]

Alrighty... time to go... need to get a ton of stuff done before I go to bed... this will be a very busy weekend... so need to try and get some rest in too. :)  Ta ta!!! :)

UPDATE:
Oh.... it looks like Moonfesta has a nice discount on CDJapan....

Moonfesta [w/DVD, Limited Edition/Type-A]  @ 30% off
Moonfesta [w/Blu-ray, Limited Edition/Type-B] @ 30% off
 
This makes the LEs cheaper than the Regular Edition which isn't discounted. Sadly for me... the RE is the version I want the most!!! :(

Also... for those who are into sheet music.  Sheet music for the Fate/Zero themes have been released.  This includes Kalafina's to the beginning, LiSA's Oath Sign and Eir Aoi's Memoria.  Click on the picture below to go to the CDJapan product page.



cheers :)

TYPE-MOON Fes. 10th Anniv BD Box ~ cover art & tokuten

I've been really, really busy at work lately and had to put a lot of things on hold, blogging included.  So all the AFA2012 posts had to wait, unfortunately. :(  But as I am currently mostly a Kajiura Yuki fan, I decided that this post take precedence. :D

While browsing through CDJapan, for some reason, I decided to revisit the Type-Moon Festival 10th Anniversary BD Box set product page and found out that the page has been updated to include a First Press release bonus.  And although CDJapan was not able to provide any details, it looks like it will be a poster.

So I decided to check out Type-Moon's website.  I should start following Type-Moon on twitter too since I like a lot of their stuff.  Anyway, I checked out Type-Moon's website and followed a link to their 10th Anniversary festival page.

Type-Moon has been updating their news section with news on this release but I haven't been keeping up.  If my Japanese doesn't fail me again.  I think that the picture that they posted up yesterday is the cover-art for this BD box release.  The picture that is currently posted up on CDJapan's product page is merely a place-holder.  Here, on the left, is the jacket illustration for this very exciting release. :)

The other piece of news of interest to me is about the tokuten that Type-Moon will be giving out to those who order this release early.  While, as usual, CDJapan isn't listed in the shops in the post, it is likely that these are the posters that will be given out to those who ordered early enough to get the First Press release of this item.

If I did not read it wrong, it looks like the bonus on this occasion will be a set of two A3 size posters.  Type-Moon also posted up the sample illustrations on their website and they look like this.



Very nice for fans of Type-Moon's work. :)

But for Kajiura Yuki's fans, the biggest reasons to get this set is for both Kajiura Yuki and Kalafina.  Both Kajiura Yuki and the vocal unit she produces performed at the Type-Moon 10th Anniv Festival and their performances are included in this BD release. :)

I've already pre-ordered mine. :)  There are currently only 20 copies of the First Press edition available at CDJapan, so if you want the tokuten posters, you might want to considering placing an order soon. :)

K... time for bed... it's approx 2:30am... way past the time I had originally intended to sleep at. :p  Oyasumi. :)

Utada Hikaru ~ Evangelion 3 theme ~ Sakura Nagashi

Yay!!! Utada Hikaru is releasing a new single.  She's taking a hiatus from the industry these days but according to the press release, returned just to do this song for EVA due to her deep fondness for the anime.  This is the theme song for Evangeion 3, an anime I hope will be screened in Singapore.  If it's screened here... I'm definitely going to try can watch it.

The first press bonus for this single is quite cool.  It's a B2-size poster of an illustration of Utada Hikaru, drawn by Sadamoto Yoshiyuki.  Nice... I'm very tempted and am leaning towards getting this single.  It is Utada Hikaru after all and one of my all time favourite song is "Beautiful World" by her. :)

Here is the product link to the CDJapan page for those who are interested in purchasing this single too. :)

update:
Cuz I'm lazy to write up a new post about it :p ... here is the youtube video of the song... hope it doesn't get taken down or something. Enjoy...

Kalafina 5th Anniv LIVE SELECTION 2009-2012 & concert ~ info

The official announce of this release was released by Sony earlier today but I didn't have a chance to put it up.  I've had a horribly busy day at work and only reached home at 1:20am.  But as I hate going to bed immediately after I get back from a long day at work and also because I'm feeling a little blue about some things not happening the way I hope they would at work... I decided to do something that makes me happy. :)  Yeah... blogging and blogging about Kajiura Yuki, FicitonJunction or Kalafina. :)

The official announce has a teeny little bit more info then what CDJapan has given us.  It gives the number of tracks planned for the CDs and the number of videos they intend to put on the DVD and BD

The two CDs will contain 29 tracks selected from 9 different lives since Kalafina's debut 5 years ago.  I'm thinking it's unlikely that Anna ni Issho Datta no ni will be on the discs but I like having something to hope for. :)

Also the Limited Edition (2CD+Blu-ray+DVD) will come packed in a box and I made a mistake in the previous post.  The booklet isn't 16 pages.  It's a whooping 60 pages. :)  On the down side... expect the shipping to be more expensive than your usual CD LE releases.  Also, expect that the shipping rate may go up once the product is actually released because right now, the dimensions and weight of this LE release is anyone's guess.

In total, there will be video clips of 14 songs on the DVD and BD and if my Japanese doesn't fail me, I think they will be producing a video clip for oblivious for the first time.  I'm not sure exactly but maybe a PV?

I'm really curious as to why they didn't just put everything on the BD and why they would include both a BD and a DVD instead of their usual practice of a separate BD LE release and a separate DVD LE release.  I'm hoping that it isn't just going to be a collection of their PVs on BD and DVD, with the exception of a new clip for oblivious.  I would like concert footage and other stuff etc too.

There will also be a live, titled "Kalafina 5th Anniversary LIVE" oblivious ", to commemorate the 5th anniversary of Kalafina's formation.  That'll be on the 23rd Jan 2013 at Shibuya-O-East.  If I read the announce properly, I think that the reason why they chose this date and this location was because on the 23rd Jan 2008, Kalafina's first paid one-man live was held at Shibuya-O-East. (aside: at that point in time, Hikaru had not yet joined the vocal unit).  They named this 5th Anniversary Live "oblivious" because they would like to return to their beginning. Hence, most of the songs that they will sing at this live will be from their first album.

Personally, I think this would be an awesome live to go to.  Since this is their 5th Anniversary live and scheduled to be performed on the date they threw their first paid full concert and at the same location too... it should be an emotional event, especially for Keiko and Wakana.  Fingers crossed that we'll see a video release... although, I'm not too hopeful they'll release any videos since they will already be releasing this set to commemorate their 5 years as Kalafina.  Too bad I really can't afford to go to Japan for this live.  If I could, I would have because I think this live will probably be very good.

Here are the links again:

This is the link to the Limited Edition. (2CD+BD+DVD+60page deluxe booklet ~ packed in a box)
This is the link to the Regular Edition. (2CDs)

And my usual line... please buy their music if you can afford it. :)

Anyway, that's it from me for now.... it's past 2am and I have to be up and 6:30 to start another very, very long day at work.... not exactly looking forward to that.
