Kalafina ~ far on the water - tokuten information released.

Oh.... Kalafina just released information and images for the tokutens for their soon to be released album far on the water.

Since it's a lot easier to share to the blog using their new LINE blog webpage, I'll just be embedding the post in my blogpost and help them drive traffic to their blog.  Please visit their website for the rest of the photos.  :)  Click on the photo below.




I'll just put one photo here because of Google+, so it'll look nice on Google+ :P

It's all postcards this time.

Ieiri Leo ~ Kimi ga Kureta Natsu ~ regular edition - WANT TO SELL

EDIT: SOLD!!! Thank you for your interest.

Yup, I would like to sell this Ieiri Leo CD.   I already have the Limited Edition with the DVD and I intend to keep that.

However, I also bought the Limited Edition with the goods and I would like to keep the goods but sell the CD that came with it.

The CD that came with the LE+Goods edition is actually the Regular Edition.  The packaging and the tracklist is exactly the same.

Ieiri Leo ~ Kimi ga Kureta Natsu - unboxing

It's no secret that aside from being a huge Kajiura Yuki, FictionJunction and Kalafina fan, I also really like Ieiri Leo, angela and Suiyoubi no Campanella.  I've fallen behind on my Ieiri unboxings and sadly, I'm not even keeping up with my Kajiura Yuki / FictionJunction and Kalafina unboxings. :(  And I would also like to do one for Suiyoubi no Campenella.  But not enough time!!!  時間が足りないよ！:(

So since this is the latest thing that I've received in the mail, I've decided that I'll do it first even though I have yet to do Kajiura Yuki's FictionJunction 2010-2013 The BEST of Yuki Kajiura LIVE 2 and also Kalafina's Budokan lives BDs, Suiyoubi no Campanella's latest album and Ieiri Leo's 20 album and the miss you single.  That's a lot. :(  And Kalafina's newest album far on the water will be released in the middle of this month.... I better chop chop and get as many of these things out of the way as possible... provided work isn't too crazy.

Anyway... enough of that... back to the main reason why I started writing this post. :P

Yes, this is the unboxing post for two editions of the Ieiri Leo's latest single Kimi ga Kureta Natsu.

FictionJunction Club ~ my first newsletter

Well, technically it's not in my hands yet because it's with my friend in Japan. :P  But I have finally sorted out my email and mail address problems and am now receiving FJC email and the newsletter.  I need to write to them later today to thank them for their help.  My Japanese is really not great yet, so I'm really glad that I managed to write to them and they understood me.  I hope I wasn't rude in anyway, although I'm sure I wrote very awkward nihongo. :P

So yeah, sorry for the tease.  You'll only see the envelope. I don't intend to put photos of the newsletter online even after I receive the physical copy from my friend.  It's an FJC exclusive which you get by entering the fan club so I don't feel it's right to post it all over the internet.  I just wanted to write this post because I'm SOOOOOOO happy that I got my first FJC newsletter.  After so many years of devotedly following Kajiura Yuki, FictionJunction and Kalafina, I made the decision to finally join the FJC this year in June and be counted as one of their official fans.  So I'm commemorating that decision and this moment with a blog post. :D

Kalafina ~ Line blog sharing test

I really rather like it that Kalafina has moved their blog to the LINE blog.

They announced it today (26th Aug 2015) that they are moving over from their old blog which was hosted on oricon.jp to the blog that is hosted on LINE... the new url is http://lineblog.me/kalafina
I'm not sure if they'll retain their current landing page which is http://www.kalafina.jp/ and then drive traffic from there to their new blog.  We'll see what happens when they change their artwork etc to promote the far on the water album.  That should be soon.

The new blog really makes sharing stuff from their blog a lot simpler and visually more attractive  now.  Next time, when I want to share stuff, I don't have to do screen captures and put a source link etc.

I can do this:

Kalafina ~ far on the water - nico nico live announce

Nice!!! Kalafina's just announced on their radio programme Kalafina Club, as well as their blog that there will be a nico nico live to commemorate the release of far on the water. :)

The full title is quite a mouthful. :)  The title of the programme is Kalafina Original New Album "far on the water" commemorative special Kalafina niconico club with lisani!

The programme is scheduled to stream online on nico nico's website on the 16th Sept 2015 at 2100hrs JST.  That's the day of the release of their new album. :)

I'm mighty pleased about this. :)  Here's the link to the programme page.  :)  http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv230752324

I time-shifted it, in case I'm not able to be back in time to catch it.  I hope I will be home in time for it, then I can take part in the comments too. :)

Also, I've got to start trying to listen to Kalafina Club live too.  Hopefully no crazy OT. A friend who was listening to it today said that the trio announced that they will start to play songs from the new album starting from next week's Kalafina Club. :)

Just one more additional information. The Limited Editions CDs will also come with a 60 page photo booklet. :)
