City Monster: Flitterhund

This friendly and playful monster is most active at dawn, where it can be seen soaring above densely populated settlements. It often travels very far distances between towns and cities to eat the different kinds of fruits that grow in each.

Watched several concert vids of both FJ and Kalafina. I noticed that Kaji san always plays the piano for FJ concerts but haven't seen her do the same for Kalafina concert vids. Does she have some management reason why is this so? Thanks 💕

Hello there!

Sorry for the super late reply. This has been in my drafts for quite some time. I've actually been holding off on replying to this ask because I don't know the exact answer and I always feel awkward making these posts if I am not 100% sure of what I am talking about. I know a great deal about Kalafina but I tend to be vague about details when it comes to Yuki Kajiura herself. She may have discussed this issue in the past but I am personally not aware of any specific incidents. So a quick disclaimer: I have nothing to back up what I'm about to say. It's all just speculation, please take everything with a grain of salt.

At the end of the day, I think it comes down to two things:

Personal preference

Label issues

1.) Quite frankly, I believe that Yuki Kajiura might have purposefully chosen to remove herself from the spotlight and stay in the background for most of Kalafina's career path. After all, Kalafina was never meant to be a proper band with steady members. Making them into a "marketable group" was more or less the brainchild of their agency Space Craft (they had seen an opportunity to make money and went with it). Going a more mainstream route with a ton of promo work and increased live performances was not something any of them had ever expected. If it had been up to Yuki Kajiura, I am pretty sure she would have been content with turning Kalafina into FictionJunction 2.0. Yuki Kajiura obviously cared a lot about the music but I doubt she was ever super invested in all the surrounding stuff, especially when Kalafina's image became more and more commercialised/idol-like. I remember her voicing concern about the elaborate stage productions and Space Craft hiring a choreographer because she didn't feel it was necessary for them to dance or do anything else except sing. Having said all that, I think it would make sense for Yuki to mostly stay out of these activities. She would of course make exceptions for certain events (e.g. big conventions) but overall, I believe she was quite happy being an audience member.

2.) Kalafina's work was released under Sony (later Sacra Music - a subsidiary of Sony). Yuki Kajiura's work on the other hand has always been released under the record label FlyingDog (which is a subsidiary of Victor Entertainment). There have been a few occasions where Kalafina's appearance had to be cut out of official home video releases (e.g. Animelo) and my best guess is that this happened due to label issues. Some stipulations on Sony's part perhaps? Or other labels not willing to pay certain royalties to Sony? I believe it is quite tricky to have an artist who is signed up with one particular label appear in the release of another label. While it is certainly not unheard of, it's probably not the most feasible option. I am guessing in Kalafina's case, either Sony or FlyingDog were against YK appearing in official Kalafina live releases.

The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses

Komura starts his school year with a new seat neighbour in homeroom—the bespectacled Mie. Before long, he’s nursing a raging crush on his quirky classmate who’s always forgetting her glasses! While this might be ideal for Komura to get to know Mie better, will his poor heart give out from the daily strain of being up close and personal with the girl he likes?!

so there's this 5'3 mafia executive..........

Prompt 131

Okay, so first of all Dan would like to say it’s not his fault. Ellie was the one to bring some unknown object into the speeder and Jazz was the one driving. Or had Sam been driving- didn’t matter! It wasn’t his fault, he wasn’t the one shooting at them, he wasn’t the one to break whatever, he was not the one to open a stupid portal, and so it wasn’t his fault! 

So why is he now like, five years old, and why is the speeder crashed in some sort of corn field. Why is everyone- except for Jazz whose now like six- also like three at most?! And- oh fuck the door just opened and… okay that’s a kid. Like, nine at most. 

A kid and an adult, who he hadn’t noticed at first so again, it’s not his fault if he hissed at them and tried to hide his not-siblings behind him. It’s also not fair they’re apparently stuck to ghost speak for who knows how long, but at least they can understand the people. 

“Martha, get some blankets, it’s happened again!”
