Yuki Kajiura LIVE vol.11 elemental Tour 2014 Blu-ray twitter, photos, tokuten info

割と近いですが、10月第一週の週末どこかで（4日か5日？）「elemental Tour 2014 NHK HALL、ブルーレイいっせいのせで見ようon twitter」やろうと思います(´▽｀)。詳細は改めて。FJYのもやりたいんですがとりあえずこちらを先に……。

Looks like Kajiura Yuki would like to do one of those twitter events again.  For those who don't know, it's an event that Kajiura Yuki conducts on twitter.  Everyone will gather on twitter at the appointed time, and hit play on the BD/DVD/CD (this time it's a BD) at the same time and as you watch the  video with Kajiura Yuki, you can read her tweets and communicate with her via twitter.  I think it's kinda cool that she holds these events.  I've never attended one, sadly. :(  My Japanese isn't really that good yet and a lot of the times, for some odd reason, I'm actually not home when these events occur.

Kajiura Yuki hasn't decided on the date yet but so far it looks like it'll quite possibly be on the 4th or 5th Oct.  But that may change.

Also, FictionJunction's artist page at JVC / FlyingDog's website has a minor update where they posted the cover art and track list etc.  I think this was a relatively recent update since I don't remember seeing it earlier... but then I could be wrong since I might not have seen it since I may have been looking at another page which has no update.  It's a pretty minor update but in case you wanna check it out.... here is the website link.  CLICK ME.

Also, my copy has shipped!!! :)  But unfortunately, it has shipped to my friend in Japan so I won't get it till next week I think when our mutual friend brings it back to SG for me. :P

First... here's a photo of the BD disc, she was kind enough to shoot one photo for me. :)

It's probably going to be a basic release, as in no special packaging etc.  Hmmmmm.... which reminds me... I never did that post on the Yuki Kajiura LIVE vol.11 FJ Yuuka release.  I have to go find those photos I shot and do a quick write up before this BD gets to me. :P

Now... you may be wondering why I send this BD to my friend in Japan instead of to myself in SG.  In part, this will save me money in shipping because my friend will bring it back for me.... but more importantly, I did it because I want that tokuten they are giving out with the purchase of both this release and the YK LIVE vol.11 FJ Yuuka release.

When they first released information about these BD releases, they also talked about the tokuten. CLICK ME to read my original post about this.

FlyingDog also updated the FJ webpage a week or two ago with a reminder about the tokuten.

Basically, what you have to do is buy both releases.... the official titles are:

Yuki Kajiura LIVE Vol.#11 FictionJunction YUUKA 2days Special 2014.02.08-09 Nakano SunPlaza  (VTXL-19-20)
Yuki Kajiura LIVE vol.#11 elemental Tour 2014 2014.04.20 @NHK Hall + Making of LIVE vol.#11  (VTXL-21)

You'll need to look for one of the insert sheets they put into these releases.  It'll look like this.  And you'll need to cut off the corner that says "応募券".  This is from the Yuki Kajiura LIVE Vol.#11 FictionJunction YUUKA 2days Special 2014.02.08-09 Nakano SunPlaza  (VTXL-19-20) release,

You'll need to stick this corner to the application form that comes in this release.  Yuki Kajiura LIVE vol.#11 elemental Tour 2014 2014.04.20 @NHK Hall + Making of LIVE vol.#11  (VTXL-21)

You'll also need to prepare a money order for 700 yen. And then mail the application for with this 700 yen money order to the address provided.

You can see the address in the bottom of the photo above this and you'll have till the 31st Oct to mail the application for the tokuten to them.

If you're wondering what it is, it is a DVD with more "making of" footage.  Apparently they shot 100 hours worth of footage in HD.  Naturally, they can't put all 100 hours in the BD, so a portion of it will be a bonus track on the BD. Another portion will be in this special DVD that they will give out to ALL who apply for it.

So now my friend in Japan has the application form and 700 yen.  Our mutual friend was suppose to pass her the sheet with the "応募券" triangle at the bottom but she left it on her desk at home. :(  She said she'll mail it to my friend in Japan when she gets back... so I hope it all goes well.  If it goes well, then I will be able to get this extra DVD bonus too.  YAY!!!! :)  Fingers crossed.

Unfortunately, this bonus DVD is only for residents of Japan. :(  So all international fans can't apply for this bonus DVD without jumping through a few hoops.  That's why I had to ask my friend in Japan for a favour.  It's really nice of her to agree to do it. :)

Okay... I'm tiring rapidly... surprisingly rapidly... I must be really tired today... :(  So I'm going to call it a day for now.  Will just take one more look thru' twitter and if nothing else pops up.... it's off to bed for me. :)

Oyasumi.... oh.... I'm sure there are spelling and grammatical errors... but I'm too tired to deal right now... so I'll take care of them another day. :P  Good night. :)

Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works ~ IIlya and Berserker's character CM online

This week we have the CM for Illya and Berserker. :)



I'm really looking forward to this anime.  We don't have much longer to wait to hear Kalafina's new song and watch ufotable's latest work.  I should go watch Fate/Zero again.  ufotable will stream it on niconico just before the premier of Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works but it's Japan only unfortunately.

 

Next up will be Kotomine Kirei.

Okay....that's probably it for me today... we'll see... I'll be going through some email and twitter etc and if nothing of interest comes up... I'll call it a day and head to bed. :)

cheers

ufotable ~ God Eater anime - releases design visual

I'm a little late with this.  This came out late last week but I was kinda busy and tired.  ufotable has released the official website url and a design visual for the anime.

The official website's url is : http://www.godeater.jp/anime/ 

There isn't much up at the moment but if you're interested, you can book mark the site or follow the production via twitter.

As usual, I hope Kajiura Yuki will be involved in the music because I just like Kajiura Yuki + ufotable. :)  To this day, I still consider Kara no Kyoukai music to be Kajiura Yuki's best work and I still like this series of movies the most out of all the anime that ufotable has produced to date.

Alrighty time to get ready and go off to work.

Kalafina ~ blog post by Keiko ~ "Me" - 20th Sept 2014 (translation)

This turned out to be a relatively easy to understand blog post from Keiko so I thought I'll translate it for those of us who can't read Japanese.  Sometimes the blog post can be hard for me and I can take some time reading them but this was very do-able. :P

This won't be that accurate.  My Japanese still isn't great and I feel that Japanese can sometimes be a little obscure and unless one's understanding of the language is good enough to understand some of nuances etc, it may be hard to get the actual meaning.  So with that disclaimer out of the way...

Here we go :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20th Sept 2014

『ME』

Konnichiwa, it's Keiko.
It's cold, isn't it!!
For a person who's sensitive to cold, like me, the change of seasons is particularly tough.
(*￣ー￣)フフ ...this kind of feeling.

Soon, the 23rd will arrive. This year will be the third time "Music Energy 2014" has been held.
Artistes who belong to the company I belong to, Spacecraft, gathered to rehearse.  The rehearsal went well.


Yesterday, we performers were signing autographs.

[me: I'm not sure what "皆で円になってのサイン書きが楽しすぎて" means but I think it means...] We sat in a circle, signing autographs and it was too enjoyable, and it became "what does everyone like to eat?" question time!!

First, Yuhki Aira-sama likes "seafood curry", Oda Kaori-sama likes "lightly pickled celery", Anna Santos-sama likes "fresh coriander", Ogawa Mana-sama likes "Shio ramen", Uura Saeka-sama likes "fried chicken and soup curry", Haruna Luna-sama likes "CoCo Ichibanya's curry and dried tomato toppings"
Hmmmm... looks like curry is the most popular.

Everyone decided that we should have curry on the day of the live.  We could have curry after the live too...

Ah, you already know what Wakana-chan and Hikaru-chan like to eat, right? (laugh)
But,,, I will write it... it'll feel lonely if I don't. (／▽＼)

Wakana-sama likes "vegetables and gyozas", Hikaru-sama like "chicken and eggs".

........ (laugh)

I like meat and chocolate!!

It was a very enjoyable scene!
It's been a year since we gathered for MUSIC ENERGY,,, I think each performer would like to convey to everyone the energy in the music that each performer has cultivated during the live that night because I would like to see a lot of people at the live.

At the venue, I'm waiting!!!!!!!
[this is kind of literal but you get the idea. :P]

Lastly, today's flowers.

White flowers are Anastasia.
Blue flowers are Gentian.
The last one, the flower with the big wheel is called Waratah, it was shipped in from Australia.♪

Well then, I'll write again next time!!

For the original Japanese text. CLICK ME

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I kind of enjoyed "translating" this.  Good practice for me too. :P I hope you enjoyed it.  There is another one from Wakana that I was thinking of tackling the other day.  Maybe if I have time this week I'll do it... but we'll see.  It's getting kind of crazy at work because we have to deliver temps by the end of the month and I've started weekend work.  There'll probably be OT during the week, maybe almost everyday too.  It's a good thing I enjoy my job. :)

Okay... I'm going to call it a day and go to bed soon. :)

Kalafina, angela to perform at Lisani! Live 5, Jan 2015

【リスアニ！LIVE-5出演者】1/24（土）：アイドルマスター シンデレラガールズ／藍井エイル／angela／GARNiDELiA／黒崎真音／スフィア、1/25（日）Kalafina／KOTOKO／ZAQ／ fripSide／三森すずこ／LiSA 西 #lisani

Oh.... Lisani just released a list of artistes that will be performing at Lisani! LIVE-5 next year.  My favourites Kalafina and angela will be performing on the Sunday Stage, 25th Jan 2015. Correction:  Kalafina will be performing on Sunday Stage, 25th Jan 2015.  angela will appear on the 24th Jan, Saturday Stage.  Sorry for the error. :P

Kalafina was also one of the artistes at Lisani! Live-4 this year in January and their full set can be seen on the Blu-ray that comes with their THE BEST "Blue" Limited Edition album.

Too bad I won't be in Japan in Jan.  It would be nice to attend a big anisong event like this.  I've never been to one.  I hope to one day but one of the criteria will be that Kalafina or Kajiura Yuki/FictionJunction will have to make an appearance too. :P

I'll maybe try and write another post later... but we'll see... it was a very long day at work today.  It was a good day at work, I got a lot done... but I may just decide to crash out... we'll see. :P

Anime Festival Asia 2014 (Singapore) ~ 2nd wave of anisong artist, 25th Sept announce

Post by AFA - ANIME FESTIVAL ASIA.

AFA's facebook page posted this announce yesterday. Fingers crossed for my favourites.... Kajiura Yuki, FictionJunction, Kalafina and angela. If Ieiri Leo comes it would be epic too but she's only sung one anime theme song and it's for Dragonball Z Kai so I don't think she'll get an invite. :( Still... fingers crossed!! :)

ufotable to make God Eater anime

ufotable公式トップにも発表情報を掲載致しました。「ゴッドイーター」アニメーション制作のお知らせです。本日発表となります。 http://t.co/Uposj2UiCJ pic.twitter.com/YllUiRbdmR
— ufotable (@ufotable) September 18, 2014

Here's an interesting announce for ufotable.  It seems like they'll be making a God Eater anime. :)

God Eater Game

God Eater is a video game but I don't know much about it because I don't play it.  Huh.... interesting. Ever since Kara no Kyoukai and Fate/Zero, I've really quite like ufotable's work.  It's just a short announce for now but I'll probably end up keeping an eye on this. They'll be making a fuller announce later today. :)

Okay... time for lunch. :)
