YK/FictionJunction Recording?

Yuki Kajiura posted a picture today from the recording studio. She was joined by Keiko, Yuriko, rito and Kaori. Not the usual FictionJunction line-up so I am curious what this could have been about. Maybe it's a solo song for rito with the other members providing backup/additional vocals? Or it could be something for a soundtrack...?

『KEIKO fan meeting chocolate meating #4』 Announced

As Keiko has already teased in one of her Instagram Lives back in April, she will be holding a fan club event at the end of summer. Some details were announced today.

Tentative title: 『KEIKO fan meeting chocolate meating #4』 📅Date: September 7, 2024 (Sat) 🏟️Venue: TIAT SKY HALL FC Link: https://tristone.co.jp/niku-chocolate/news/news.php

Stay tuned for more updates! No news yet on a live stream option. I kinda doubt we'll get one this time around.

【Book Release】 『PARADE of 6000 Songs: Composer Yuki Kajiura・Style of a Genius』

Following the TV broadcast of the hour-long NHK documentary to celebrate YK’s 30th Anniversary, an accompanying book will now be released. (Source)

The book "PARADE of 6000 Songs: Composer Yuki Kajiura・Style of a Genius" will be released by NHK Publishing on July 25th containing an extensive long-term close-up interview with Yuki Kajiura and additional content not included in the previously aired NHK BS documentary. Surely, this will also include some interesting bits and pieces on Kalafina so I would say it's worth getting the book. ■Book Overview Title "PARADE of 6000 Songs: Composer Yuki Kajiura・Style of a Genius" Author Takumi Kimizuka + NHK Reporting Team Publisher NHK Publishing Release Date July 25, 2024 Price 2,090 yen (tax included) Format Paperback 224 pages ISBN 978-4-14-081970-8 Preorder start June 3 Amazon▶https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4140819707 NHK Site▶https://www.nhk-book.co.jp/detail/000000819702024.html

Hi Puts!!

I hope you’re doing well! Thank you for always sharing information about pretty much everything, along your thoughts. After every event I always look forward to reading your reviews/comments.

You’ve pretty much inspired me to learn Japanese (along with the girls)! I’m even studying abroad in Japan this fall!! My exact days are August 22 - December 22.

I wasn’t sure I would be able to go until quite late (my program sucks at communications info) so I’ve been busy dealing with preparing to go to Japan, that I haven’t applied or bought any tickets! (Pretty much panicking at this point since I don’t know when I’ll be back).

Unfortunately YK vol.#20 tour ends before I arrive which I’m so depressed about since I loved every setlist (especially with Hikaru now performing T_T) (hoping she has more performances). Thankfully there’s still Wakana’s Classics, but I’m trying to figure that out still.

I was wondering if you knew any upcoming performances where there’s a good chance I can buy tickets still (whether online or at door) or have any advice on what I should do? I know there’s the Highway Star Party event but I’m not really interested in that. I will have a japanese phone number, address, and residency card so hopefully even the trickier tickets don’t cause any problems.

Also is there anywhere you suggest I visit? Restaurants and food? I plan to do a deep search and visit places the girls have mentioned ^ ^, more specifically around Tokyo.

Anyways, sorry for the long post/ask. Thank you for everything you’ve done!!

Hello there!

Thank you for this lovely message! And wow! That sounds amazing! I hope you'll have a great time in Japan.

What a shame though that you won't make it in time for the last YKL Vol#20 performance with Hikaru as guest vocalist. As of right now, I don't think they are planning to add any more dates for Japan. They have been known to announce at least one or two additional performances for Tokyo in the past but this year, it looks like they will end the main portion of the tour this weekend in Saitama. However, there are four concerts scheduled for November in China, Thailand and Malaysia. Chances are high that Hikaru will be invited as guest vocalist for these. Keep an eye out for any updates on that! We don't have any details yet but if you get the chance to go on a short weekend trip, I'd definitely recommend you get yourself a ticket and check out one of those places.

Overseas Performances YKL Vol.#20 Tour The performances are scheduled for November 2024. YK and her team will be returning to Shanghai (China), and will be performing for the first time in Guangzhou (China), Bangkok (Thailand), and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia).

It may be a bit too late for this but you should 100% try to get a ticket for Keiko's upcoming fan club event! Just a few days ago, they announced a second lottery round so there's still a chance to apply for tickets until August 4! I don't know if you are a member of Keiko's FC but you could technically still register and hopefully finish the procedure in time to take part in the ticket lottery. Please note though that you'll probably need help from someone in Japan when using Lawson Ticket.

『KEIKO fan meeting chocolate meating #4』 Date: September 7, 2024 (Sat) Venue: TIAT SKY HALL 1st (Day): Open 14:00 /Start 14:30 2nd (Evening): Open 17:30 / Start 18:00　

Aside from possibly joining the YKL Vol#20 Asia tour leg, Hikaru will also be holding her very own solo tour during the winter time. Again, we don't have any details yet but once further infos get announced, I recommend you get your hands on a couple of tickets for one or two of those concerts. The Toyama live in particular is something I'd aim for if you want to have the best possible experience. Also a great opportunity to explore Hikaru's hometown

Hikaru Solo Tour 2024/25 -2024- 24/11/30 (Sat) Toyama 24/12/07 (Sat) Aichi 24/12/14 (Sat) Miyagi 24/12/21 (Sat) Kyoto 25/02/11 (Tue) Tokyo

The FC ticket lotteries for Wakana Classics are already over but there will be other options available soon. Last year, ticket playguide lotteries for non-FC members took place in October (with a subsequent regular sale) so I expect the same to happen this year. Just be patient a little while longer. They will most likely launch a dedicated webpage on the BSFuji website with some more infos on the concert and where to get tickets.

『Wakana Classics 2024 (tbd)』 Date/Time: 2024/12/18; Start 18:30~ Venue: Hamarikyu Asahi Hall

As for food and restaurants, that's very difficult for me to answer because I typically try to visit places that the girls have recently been to (I guess it's more of a spontaneous thing?). I do my best to keep track of all the good spots but it's a struggle T_T I suck at everything that's related to locations. However, you can check out my MEDIA posts on Twitter to see pictures of some of the spots I've already visited. I usually add a little description to my tweets so you should be able to figure out which places I'm talking about.

Three very popular Kalafina pilgrimage places are definitely Tsurutontan Roppongi (from an old blog post), La Maison Kioi (from a SPICE interview) and Shinagawa Aquarium (from a FC Harmony feature). Here's a blog post where I talk about visiting all three of them. One day, I want to eat at all the gyoza restaurants that Wakana has recommended in her fan club magazines but that's actually not so easy since most of those places are tiny and require a reservation.

You should also try to make short day trips to Ishikiri-Sanmyaku and Oya History Museum (best done with a group of locals or fellow fans). Both are beautiful locations which were used for various music videos (Kalafina's "Hyakka Ryouran", Hikaru's "Alterna-ate-", Kalafina's "Kagayaku Sora no Shijima ni wa", Wakana's "Butterfly Dream").

Sorry I can't provide a better list but hopefully, this will help at least a little bit.

『KEIKO fan meeting chocolate meating #4』

Today, Keiko held her fan club event at TIAT SKY HALL. Here are some images 〈(•ˇ‿ˇ•)-→

From what I can tell, the event had a Q&A corner, a quiz section, a game section (rock, paper, scissors), a mini live, a meat taste/smell challenge and a photo session with Keiko. People are referring to it as "family/group photo" and everyone will receive a physical copy of it. However, I've seen at least one person on Twitter who got to take an exclusive "couple" polaroid with Keiko. I think this might have been one of the prizes for winning the quiz but I could be wrong? Needless to say, I wish this was me T_T

『KEIKO fan meeting chocolate meating #4』 Event & Ticket Details

At the beginning of June, Keiko announced that she would hold an on-site fan club event in September. The venue is the same which is currently used for the FJS Tokyo events so many fans should be familiar with it. It's right at Haneda airport, directly connected to Terminal 3. The capacity is around 250 for a seated audience.

Hnnnng, I don't know what to do. I feel like I am missing out on SO MUCH this year (haven't even applied to Wakana's Classics Concert in Dec T_T). And so far I have zero travel plans. This sounds like a lot of fun but I don't know if I should visit Japan just for a single FC event. And since this is Lawson, I will once again have to rely on someone else to make the payment and pick up the tickets. I hate that. Ughh, this is hard.
