•————— ♬ —————•
OMG, Wakana is wearing a super gorgeous and flattering dress!! Will have to look for it ASAP! Found it! XD Oh!!! Outfit change for the evening performance! YAY! Another Snidel dress!
Flag: YESSSS! We are getting a live version of Flag! Was hoping for this!! And she sounds great!!!!! Precious baby forgot her lyrics again during the bridge *pats* This was sung with a studio background track. The second time around her performance was honestly flawless!!! Loved everything about it!! Such a good song!! She already sounds less nervous. Guess after not singing for quite some time, it takes her a while to warm up again XD
Yureru Haru: Yurie-chan joins her on stage for this. Love her piano arrangement. This was super lovely!
Kioku no Hito [DAY]/Yuuyake [NIGHT]: OMG, it’s been so long! Have missed this so much! One of my faves from her first album! A tiny bit shaky but I still love it! Yes, a little setlist change!! Super sweet as always! But again, she struggled with the lyrics. Seems to be the theme of this event. She deals with it professionally every time though! Maybe her brain is scrambled due to the heat XD
Odoriko (cover) [DAY]/ Hikōki-gumo (cover) [NIGHT]: Original by Kōzō Murashita. Ohhhh! Never heard this before but Wakana’s cover is great! Didn’t expect another setlist change. So happy to hear more Ghbili! The original of Hikōki-gumo is by Yumi Matsuto.
Aitakute Ima (cover): Original by MISIA. Will have to listen to it again. Okay, hearing it for a second time helped so much! It’s often hard for me to get into songs when I am hearing them for the first time. But this time I tried to focus on the lyrics and oh boy, this hit me right in the feels.
Inochi no Namae (cover): YESSSSS!!! One of my faves from her cover album! Her singing in this always tears me up. A true blessing for my ears! Absolutely beautiful! Poor baby once again forgot her lyrics tho.
Happy Hello Day: Can’t believe that I still haven’t heard this live at a venue T_T Might not have been my favourite track of the album but it’s such a perfect song for a live performance. Beautiful
Flag (Encore) [NIGHT]: *laughs* Okay, the hype for this must be huge if she is singing it twice. I don’t mind though, the live version is amazing! Maybe she is making up for her slip-up during the day performance
During the Talk Corner Wakana and Yurie shared some memories from their summer breaks as a children. And she later apologised that there wasn’t a lot of talking involved in the event because she wanted to focus on singing. The event was over way too quickly, I think it was just an hour T_T But oh well, loved her choices for the setlist. Wonder if she will be changing up a few things for the evening performance. Seems like she is planning to talk a little more XD She is definitely talking more this time around. She remembers going to the see with her friend and receiving weird looks because she was covered from head to toe. Taking care of your skin is very important though so she tries her best to not let her skin be exposed to the sun.

Super Late Kalafina 10th Anniversary Live Report!
This was my first Kala live ever, basically a dream come true and I couldn't contain my happiness and nervousness! (Special thanks to @putschki1969 for all her tutorials, this wouldn't have been possible for me without her!) I arrived at the venue around 3 pm (3 hrs before the live, 1 hr after the goods sale has started), and my god, THAT QUEUE!! I've never seen such a queue in my entire life.. at this point I wondered if I could make it on time.. but I queued anyway, and I ended up buying for some of my friends too. Anyway, my turn finally came and it was 6:15 pm.. I freaked out and the fact that most of the things I wanted was sold out already did not help at all lol, so I ended up pointing at stuff to the salesperson like a maniac and my hands were shaking when i tried to get out my money xD Now less than 10 mins are left!! I ran to the first floor and thankfully some staff guided me to my seat. The view was great and my seat was the first in the line so there were just stairs to my right, meaning I had extra space to jump around. The lights started dimming, music started playing, and I started shaking xD The girls came up on stage on a platform and I clapped and screamed like a maniac. Now to the actual concert: 01.ring your bell: Hikaru and Keiko started out okay, Wakana joined and was flat AF xD I was like noooo Wakana please don't continue like this, and thankfully she adjusted and became perfect. Wakana actually sounded so good I was quite surprised, and her 2nd high "beeeeeell" sounded great and perfectly pitched, much better than their other live releases. I don't like this song, but was a good warm up for them I guess.. 02.未来: Almost everyone in the venue stood up and got excited for this. 03.lirica: This was extremely unexpected for me, I remember dropping my jaw when Keiko announced it in the MC, and I also remember hearing ppl around me saying huuuh in surprise.. My god, was this a perfect performance in every way.. Wakana was pitch-perfect and sounded SO GOOD in her verses!!! Keiko harmonized perfectly too, and Wakana's high chorus was great too, and Hikaru's harmonization was so good. Now to the Kajiurago bridge.. KEIKO KILLED IT!!! Was so deep and filled Budokan!! I really wanted to jump/scream/clap after her solo, but wouldn't be appropriate for this kind of song lol. Great great great performance. Bonus thoughts: The strings in the verses were great, and it was so fun to look at the band picking their strings in this part! I hope they show some footage of them in the release! 04.満天: YES!! MANTEN!! was a nice follow-up to Lirica. Wakana sounded great (at this point I realised that Wakana will dominate this live) Hikaru was fine. Keiko was good in her solo, but I really miss the way she used to sing it in 2012-2013 with some vibrato to "deshoooou", but it sounded good anyway. 05.屋根の向こうに: I have only heard this song once or twice in my life lol, was quite surprised to see it make an appearance! I didn't know it was popular at all! 06.光の旋律: I know this song is overplayed, but I really enjoy it, and was happy to see it. Hikaru was good in her verses, much like 9+one. Wakana was great, Keiko was great too (but kinda loud and screaming at times) and her solo was good also. Hikaru's high harmonies were great (a few flats here and there, so those of you who think that her high harmonies in this song are always playback, they are NOT playback). Bonus thoughts: The flute was so good, I'm so happy that Akagi-san was there, 07.storia: Eh.. I don't like this song, but they were good. 08.夏の林檎: WHAT?!!! NATSU NO RINGO?!?! At this point I wondered if this was real xD Too many surprise appearances so far!! And they performed it the way they did in Red Day, with Wakana and Hikaru switching parts. 09.serenato: So.. the accordion started.. and I definitely realised it was Serenato (there were minor hints in the solo). I KNEW they'd perform this! My happiness could not be contained!! THAT PERCUSSION THO!! They started with their kajiurago, THEY ALL KILLED IT!! Hikaru sang using her falsetto, and it was on point, provided a more calming atmosphere to the song than her old regular voice singing (tho way less fierce). Wakana was on fiiiiiirrrrrreeeeeeeeee!! It was obvious that she was enjoying this song!! Keiko was great in her harmonies, and Hikaru as well. I REALLY can't wait for the live release!! 10.ARIA: Oh shit.. The moment of truth.. My heart started pounding so hard..  This is one of my absolute fav songs and I have a strong emotional connection to it! The song started in a lower key, as expected (one key lower). Hikaru started singing.. HER VERSES WERE SO GOOD!! The lower key really suits the song and makes it sound way more tragic, sad and lonely. She sang in a very very very sad and broken way, and you can actually see all those feelings in her face :( Wakana and Keiko were also great with their harmonies. Wakana sang her chorus lines beautifully. Solid performance overall, my favorite ARIA ever. Bonus thoughts: I really love this new ARIA, and prefer Hikaru's way of singing here and this key over the old one, it suits the lyrics way more, It brought tears to my eyes and made me cry like a baby. The cello was more present, and really added to the song’s atmosphere. Percussion was very very very good, it's good to finally see this song with percussion!! 11.sprinter: wait what Sprinter NOW this early in the setlist why xD?!?! Hikaru did good (I especially LOVE how she sang the “Kaze ni..” verse. Keiko was on point, a bit loud at times tho. Wakana was great. 12.oblivious: Of course, wouldn't be an anniversary live without it. Hikaru started in falsetto (like 9+one), she was so good. Wakana and Keiko were great, and their "itsuka kimi to.." part was very emotional. Solid performance. 13.傷跡: Another surprise appearance!! Was a great performance by all three, Hikaru was great with her high harmonies, Wakana and Keiko also great with their solos and harmonies. This live can't get any better; I thought to myself. 14.君が光に変えて行く: YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!! MY FAV SONG UGH SOMEONE HELP I CAN'T!! But then.. Keiko sings with her cutesy voice. Someone needs to tell Keiko to stop using that voice forever, please. Wakana DELIVERED!! Aaaaah Wakana was so good!! :(((  Hikaru’s harmonies were on point. Great performance EXCEPT WHEN KEIKO WAS USING THAT CUTESY VOICE. Sorry I'm still mad about it and can't get over it. 15.カンタンカタン: This is too much, at this point I got overwhelmed by the amount of good songs in this live. Wakana sounded MUCH BETTER than the studio version!! Hikaru's solo was nice. Keiko AGAIN used her fake cutesy voice for her solo :((( to me, that's basically the highlight of the song, so I was very disappointed, even though she hit her notes perfectly. I know in the studio version there are hints of cutesy in her solo, but it didn't matter much. Anyway, solid performance overall and Wakana sounded kinda more sad. 16.symphonia: Not a fan of this song, didn't pay much attention. 17.red moon: YeeeeY finally a song I voted for! I was so excited and scared at the same time, cuz their last performance of this song (arena) was so dead. Hikaru and Keiko's kajiurago start was perfect, Wakana started singing and.. was kinda lacking energy.. Keiko's harmonising was SO GOOD throughout the whole song. Hikaru sounded kinda tired but was doing her best. Keiko's final solo was great and gave me goosebumps. Wakana's delivery lacked energy overall, but she hit all her highs and lows perfectly. 18.adore: What? Is this AE Live xD? Was a nice performance overall. 19.to the beginning: I like this song, I know it's overplayed but it was my introduction to Kalafina, so it has a special place in my heart. Was a solid performance for such a hard song.
20.progressive: I also knew this would be performed, the stage got lit in rainbow colors, was so cool. A solid performance by all three! Hikaru was able to perform this song and did so well! I enjoyed this performance. 21.音楽: Of course, wouldn't be a Kalafina Live without Ongaku xD Was a nice performance with a MAJOR WaKei moment <3333 Keiko ran to Wakana right before her solo and jumped on her and hugged her so hard xD was super cute!! All 3 were great, and my god this is my fav Wakana-Ongaku ever!! Her solo WAS SO GOOD! The band introductions this time were nice, not as boring as they were before.
 Bonus thoughts: Wakana was REALLY having fun, dancing so hard and jumping around.. I've never seen her this excited before.
22.heavenly blue:  A solid performance. 23.into the world: I can't get myself to like this song. Solid performance by all three tho. 24.君の銀の庭 Accordion solo ver. ~ nightmare ballet (inst): I'm sorry but I took this chance to run to the restroom xD (sorry if this sounded disrespectful but I REALLY had to go :’(  25.ひかりふる: Started with a piano solo, and the girls came in with wedding dresses.. I was like WTF why the wedding dresses xD they were nice anyway and fit the song. The song started with just Wakana and the piano.. was absolutely wonderful and breathtaking :(((( they all sounded more emotional! The drums and the whole band kicked in together right before Hikaru's "hakanasugite.."!! WAS SO GOOD!! Major goosebumps! Keiko's "mabushii asaaaaaaaa.." was great, but I think she held it longer in the Arena Live. Beautiful beautiful performance. 26.百火撩乱: So Akagi-san came, and started playing a flute solo, very Japanese-sounding, so I knew what the next song would be. The girls started taking off some parts of their wedding dresses to reveal their "real dresses" under lol. I still laugh at how Hikaru was throwing away her wedding dress like a piece of trash xD Anyway, the instrumental part started, and the stage was illuminated in red. Keiko started her lines (Wakana didn't harmonise "yume wo miteeeeee"), Keiko was nice.. but I prefer how she sang in the studio version :/ I don't know how to explain it, but in the studio version, she sang like "naitaaa, omottaaa, kittooo, yoru nooo", but here in this live she ended them very abruptly and suddenly, like "naiTa, omoTTa, kiTTo, yoru No". In other words, the last syllables of those words were 3 three times shorter than the studio version, and that annoyed me so much, made the verses sound less powerful. (I hope someone actually understood what I meant xD). Hikaru sounded nice. Wakana, sang wonderfully, and took less breaths in the chorus, which sounded better for the song. Keiko's "yaibaaaaa" was much better and longer than the studio version. (Forgive my super picky and detailed review of this performance, but HR one of my favs and I spent a long time to cover this song so I know pretty much everything about this song in detail.) Bonus thoughts: The flute was super good. 27.アレルヤ: A perfect ending song to the concert. Was a very emotional performance, and all three delivered beautifully, and the WaHi harmonies were great this time. I also like Hikaru in this song. Keiko really did sing well here too. My fav Alleliua performance ever. So the concert ended, and the girls looked super duper emotional and moved, Wakana cried in her speech, Keiko took a few deep breaths before her speech and spoke with a super shaky voice then turned her face away and cried, Hikaru was smiling and waving to the audience section by section. Overall, a very solid concert, I am so happy I got to experience such a concert, solid setlist, solid performance, and more songs than usual. Highlights: ARIA, Serenato, Lirica, KantanKatan, Kimi ga, Natsu no Ringo. General Notes: - For such an event, I expected way more in terms of stage production and crowd involvement, but oh well they made up for that with the extra squeezed in songs. - Wakana was on fire pretty much the whole concert, she literally dominated, and was having a good time and dancing around and having fun. I really couldn't take my eyes off her. I hope they show more of her in the live release. - Keiko was great too, she harmonised perfectly and delivered her solo lines greatly (except for when she used her FAKE CUTESY voice). Was sometimes screaming and singing loudly tho. - Hikaru sounded good on some songs and tired on some, but you could definitely see that she was doing her best. (It was really cold that day and I’m almost sure she had a cold) - The first dresses were nice, though Wakana's dress was my personal favorite, it looked much much much much much better in real life than in pics, it was sparkly and elegant, it fit her perfectly. Keiko's dress was okay, nothing special in my opinion but the colors were super nice, reminded me of their 2014 tour dresses. Hikaru's dress was very very nice, but I didn’t like the baggy sleeve, would've looked much better if it was fitted. - I don't know what to think of the wedding dresses, a part of me likes them and the other part thinks they're over the top and unnecessary. They made more sense when they took them off, Wakana looked so weird though with her long skirt lol, the other two were very nice. - I was sure they'd play Marchen in its REAL version with the flute this time, but nope I was wrong. I'm too disappointed, I really wanted to see it live and it's a recent song and has only been performed in one tour while INTO THE WORLD has been performed way more. Also no Magia or Destination Unknown made me sad, I really wanted to see Hikaru sing them live :( - Budokan is such a beautiful venue inside-out! I imagined it to be MUCH MUCH bigger inside but it turned out to be way smaller than I imagined xD. - The percussion added A LOT of depths to some songs! Percussion should really be a staple in their tours.

I'm giving everyone who reblogged the Kalafina Song Meme a song: ♫ Magia ♫
YEAAAH I was waiting for this e.e thank you!!
♫ What was your first impression of it?
It was a huge OHMAYGÁ. I loved it from the beginning.
♫ How do you feel about it now?
I still love it. I think it rocks on an extraterrestrial level. Also, it doesn’t sound (to me) like an anisong: it has it own style and it’s awesome.
♫ Rate the song on a scale from 1 to 10 (with 10 being the best rate)!
Definitely a ten.
♫ Describe the song in one sentence!
If you don’t play this song in maximum volume you’re missing everything.
♫ How does it make you feel?
It makes me question WHY people in Japan are so calm during their concerts xD I know it’s respectful but I NEED TO BE THERE AND SCREAM DO YOU GET ME
♫ What do you like most about this song?
The moment where Hikaru sings “negai” and Wakana and Keiko joins with the chorus, it’s so powerful.
♫ What’s your least favourite part about it?
I like better the version with strings, the other one seems a bit plane (though it works as an anime soundtrack, but still. Violins everywhere ♥_♥)
♫ Best version of the song?
Okey, this is not good. Because I have two. But I’m going to cheat and talk about the other version later >:D I’m going to chose this one:
Live the BEST 2015 “Blue Day”
youtube
♫ Favourite lines in the lyrics?
躊躇いを飲み干して  Swallow down your hesitation君が望むモノは何?  What is it that you wish for?♫ Thoughts on the musical arrangement and the use of instruments?
As I previously said (I noticed I can’t talk about something without getting ahead and spoil it for later, sorry xD) I LOVE the version with strings, I think it’s a great improvement. And of course, live versions rocks over the studio version.
♫ Wakana, Keiko or Hikaru? Whose vocals are most impressive in this song?
In this order, Hikaru, Keiko (that bridge tho) and Wakana!
♫ Share something creative related to this song (picture, gif, video, artwork, poem, anecdote, headcanon, interpretation etc…knock yourself out!) 
And here is my cheat: though my favourite version is the other one, VISUALLY, I LOVE this version. They created a story and they played it so gracefully (in my mind, Hikaru is lost in a wood and seduced by the two demons, Wakana and Keiko) (I’m not high fight me) (AND THAT LAST GIF OH MY GOD)

Hi! What about Ring your bell? (For Kalafina song meme ^^)
oo thank you for sending thiss song  (~ ̄▽ ̄)~
♫ What was your first impressionof it? I’ve said I can’t remember on every ask I’m not that sure exactly what I thought of it when I first heard it, but I think I saw YK say something about it resembling a gospel hymn. I thought it was cool that the genres could be blended (what genre even is kalafina tho tbh) but I don’t know what I thought of the song.
♫ How do you feel about itnow? I still love how it’s kinda churchy but kinda not (as well as being very kalafina). The melodic and harmonic lines are simply amazing and I’d vouch for it being in a list of top three kalafina songs after the consolation era.
♫ Rate the song on a scale from 1 to 10 (with 10 being thebest rate)! A nine out of ten. The only way I’d give it higher is if the harmonies were cranked up in volume in the studio version.
♫ Describe the song in one sentence! Heavenly and hopeful.
♫ How does it make you feel? I’m not sure how to describe it tbh haha. It’s like in an anime when they’re reaching for the sky and praying even tho I’m not religious in any way whatsoever 🤣🤣
♫ What do you like most about this song? The melodic passages. And the arrangement of instruments. 
♫ What’s your least favourite part about it? Ummm…. that many of the kajiurago and “aah” parts sung by Yuriko Kaida (and Kajiura?) aren’t existant in the lives. Especially the “aah” (or is it Wakana?) at 0.23 feels like it’s missing in the lives. Also possibly that the song has a very stereotypical anisong structure which I would have loved YK to differ from in a song like this.
♫ Best version of the song? The Live Tour 2015~2016 “far on the water” version is amazing! Especially given the first lil stripped-down instrumental bit and omfg Wakana’s high harmony at the end! 
♫ Favourite lines in the lyrics? The second verse:
君がそんなに欲しがっていた / kimi ga sonna ni hoshigatte ita光が消えて行く / hikari ga kiete yukuThe light that you were wishing for so hard is now disappearing
何度でもその時を知っている / nando demo sono toki wo shitte iruI’ve known such a time so many times
蒼白い道の上に立ち寒がり / aojiro michi no ue ni tachi fusagariStanding still on this pale ground
未来へ行く足を止めるのは / mirai he iku ashi wo tomeru no wa君の心だけ / kimi no kokoro dakeIt is only your heart that stops the feet from moving towards tomorrow
♫Thoughts on the musical arrangement and the use of instruments? Sounds very kalafina-esque. I love the marching snare in the second verse of the studio version. Provides a cool variation.
♫Wakana, Keiko or Hikaru? Whose vocals are most impressive in this song? Wakana all the waaaayyy please let me marry her voice
♫Share something creative related to this song (picture, gif, video, artwork,poem, anecdote, headcanon, interpretation etc…knock yourself out!) The Wakana smilee (but in black and white)

Yuki Kajiura LIVE TOUR vol.#15 〜The Junctions of Fiction 2019 in Hong Kong〜
I had no idea the last time we’ve had FJ here was already 6 years ago...Orz
Unfortunate that they have to come at such a terrible time.
Overall I’m not super astonished at the setlist but I’ll take what I could get :)
- Keiko is very prominent from start to finish, and we’ve got the world so yay! lol
- Joelle’s substitute for Wakana’s songs really has a different vibe. so not exactly a substitute I guess (esp. for vanity).  I’d still miss her tho.
- Yuriko-san is amazing as usual.
- I’ve never realised elemental is so good live for Kaori.
I think most of us are not used to the rhythm for an FJ Live. Like, I wonder how many songs do ppl recognise? I saw luminous sword got a lot of reactions but other than that?
I’ll admit I don’t know most of the newer songs lol

Kalafina 27 Week Challenge: Week 10 & 11!
Hi!! I accidentally missed last week's challenge so I'll do last week and this week in one post! Please forgive my lazy ass for not doing this earlier ;A; Favorite thing about each Kalafina member? Well, the obvious reason would be their talent but let's not go with that because that's just TOO obvious lol Keiko: Honestly she's one of the happiest people I've ever seen. Her happiness and optimism is just so contagious, and her smile is just so bright and pretty, it makes you feel kind of hopeful, if you get me? She transmits a very hopeful feeling. She's a very encouraging person and the way she talks about Wakana and Hikaru is just ASDFGHJKL (sorry for my fangirl spasm orz). She loves them so much and it makes me happy. (P.D. Wakana why won't you let Keiko nuzzle you TAT, she just wants to feel your love~~~). Keiko has gone a very long way to achieve what she has done, I just dislike it when I see comments like "she doesn't put much effort into singing" (yes, I've seen this kind of comments around!). Like, excuse me, do you have any idea of all the work she has done to achieve her almost-flawless voice?? No you don't so shush. Wakana: She's such an amazing person, isn't she? She's just so interesting, with all of her obsessions and whatnot. She's such a nerdy person (from sharks and dinosaurs to stars and the weather, she has so many interests). Also the fact that she's such a movie/TV/book nerd is so cute. Honestly, what's not to love about our Sharkana? She has kind of a mom vibe tho (not that it's a bad thing~ Please Mum Wakana, take care of Keiko and Hikalu). Also, the way Wakana has overcome all of her difficulties and problems is just so admirable. She's such a strong person, isn't she? Even when she was sick, she would just go out and sing her lungs out. I mean, when I'm sick I don't even want to make oral presentations in class, but she's just so... wow. Hikaru: I think she's the most relatable member of the group, isn't she? I mean, I feel like we all can relate to Hikaru. She loves to sleep, eat, sleep more... wait am I talking about Hikaru or about myself? Lol. She's such a calm person, and when she gets excited about her hobbies it's just too cute (even if I don't watch anime, how can I not love Geekaru??). No offense but it really irks me when Maya fans bash on Hikaru, and start rambling about how Maya was so much better than Hikaru. It's not Hikaru's fault that Maya left the group (or whatever happened, idk...). And, in my personal opinion, Hikaru is a great vocalist and there's no need for comparisons! Favorite live performances One of my favorite live performances has always been the Kalafina Red Moon live 2010 in JCB Hall (throwback to when I was 10 yo and didn't have the slightest idea that Kalafina even existed...). Since it says to include specific songs, I'd choose Hoshi no Utai, I have a dream and Ongaku from that performance, because it's just too damn amazing.

I had a dream
I was in Japan and was going to attend a Kalafina concert with a friend. But we got there late(like wtf the concert starts at 5 and we got there at 7pm) so the concert was ending. It was heartbreaking. I didnt even get to sit down. But suprisingly the Kala girls went down the stage and were greeting the fans. I was standing in the doorway when keiko suddenly appeared in a red dress(from the christmas live last 2015) She saw me so I asked for a hand shake. She obliged. And then she offered a hug. OFCOUSE I ACCEPT. lol. She hugged me for quite some time, comforting me how she was sorry I missed the concert(that hug certainly made up for it). And then she went on her merry way. And then Wakana appeared, I asked for a handshake, she obliged but was a little hesitant. Lol. And then Hikaru appeared, same happened. XD That was one heck a experience. Even tho it was a dream.

Basic Kalafina questions:2) First Kalafina album?If you mean the first time I encountered Kalafina, then it’s be red moon (I joined the fandom at 2010). But if you mean the first album I own, it’s their latest Winter Acoustic “Kalafina with Strings”. Yeaaaa I know I’m a bad fan xD
6) Favorite Kalafina B-side?Hmm I think it’s between Gloria and Yane no Mukou ni, but when I’m being hyperactive it’s Samidare. Lol I cant choose I love them all! Natsu no asa is nice too!7) Tough question: Favorite member?OKAY. Okay. Tough question. I squeal at each one of them, but if it comes down to that, my bias is Hikaru. The cute pure sweet cinnamon roll. (psst I literally squirmed at her normal, talking voice because daaammmn sexy)8) Favorite Kalafina look/attire?Well one reason I got attracted to the ladies was because they had this goth-loli-ish style going at that time, so yes I prefer the older costumes, but favorite……….. maybe their red moon live costumes. Keiko just needs to change the shoulder bit, lol.By the way, I love Hikaru’s short hair because it gives her a sexy, mature and tough look, but damn if I don’t miss her cutie-pie long hair.
Do you…9) Own any piece of merch?If you can count a postcard that goes with the album as a merch, then yes.
Have you ever…
11) Attended a Kalafina live? (If so, how many?)BLESS THIS YEAR (cough, last year) because I was able to go to Japan and just in time for the ticket sale, so I grabbed one as fast as I could! So yes, one live, it was their Christmas live in Nagoya. I plan to attend their next 9+1 live too!13) Met them (in a greet-and-meet)?Noooooooo it was not a live with meet-and-greet session so no :’(
Random Kalafina questions:18) Do you have any ships? (Which one if so)I actually don’t, because dunno I can’t ship real persons20) Is there any food that remind you of Kalafina?Nothing I guess? But you know how they always make this pose that somewhat says ‘ta-daa look at this dish!’? Yes now it’s my pose whenever I take pictures with food.
Name a Kalafina song that…23) Makes you cryHIKARU FURU, PERIOD. Now, it’s not like I don’t cry at other songs (singing Manten and heavenly blue also makes me cry, all the time) but hikaru furu tears my heart apart in a whole new level.24) Makes your day a whole lot betterMune no Yukue, ring your bell, and Hikari no Senritsu I guess? You can see a pattern here of what calms me down lol.25) You used to dislike but now love to deathheavenly blue!! omg lol I still remember how the song came out and I couldn’t appreciate it at all because it sounded so general and too long and argh wtf is this song. But now……. yeah you see my answer above.
What Kalafina member would you choose to:30) Make pizza?I don’t know, Hikaru?? I just think that she has a lot of similar taste to mine so…37) Go to a museum?Wakana. Period. 38) Rob a bank?Why would you rob a bank xD but I’d choose all of them. I mean, you need a team to rob a bank!42) Bake a cake?Again, Hikaru. 47) Help you with homework/tests?Hikaru! I’m definitely biased but I want Big Sis to teach me!!! /shot51) Kill that hideous spider in your room? (Before you blow up your house :p)?Keiko.

A totally perfect coincident
My day started early, I wake up at 4, take a bath and then pack my things. Going to the airport was uneventful. My flight was also uneventful until we arrived and have to go through immigration. Thats when things happened, we were just lining to the immigration officer when suddenly I notice 3 beautiful ladies. fuck. Is that Kala?? Am I dreaming? I told my companion and she also freaked out. And for protocol I took an awful but stealthy photo of them. Just to have proof that it happened. I know photo taking is not allowed but who cares!! I've been following those girls for 5 years. I wont miss this chance!! The we mustered all courage to call out, (we didnt prepare mind you) "anooo" "sumasen" Keik*-san. She looked and ai was star strucked! There goes all my practiced speech.! I said in a quiet and shaky voice, Im a big fan of kal*fina. Ruu added that we were From the philippines. I recall wak*na saying "aahhh" They thanked us and the I declare my love for them" Kala*ina daisuki!! They laughed and said thanks and then we went back to what we were doing. Waka*a was looking at her phone, hii was just letting time pass and Kei was making short conversations to her companions. The wait was awkward because of us but. Im so sorry. But I want that moment to keep going. Those girls being 1 meter away and just talking to themselves. I cant understand what they were talking tho. Boohoo. I asked ruu to prepare our gift. that when an opportunity arrives, I go for it and give it to them. I was waiting till after I get through immigration. And when that time came, Keik* and I finished the same. Ooohh God! I was walking behind her slowly contemplating whether to talk to her or not(it'll be rude not to since we are both waiting for our companion. She turned around and our eyes meet. She started the cpnversation in english/japanese tho I did understand. She asked me if I will be going tomorrow and I said yes! And I finally said that speech I prepared that I know she didn't understand. " I want to wish you good luck on tomorrows concert. She smile and said "thank you" and extended her hand. I might have looked shocked but grabbed her hand clumsily. God the pressure was just right. Not too strong, not too soft. Like shaking hands with a colligue. I dont know if I did well in shaking her hand tho. But I might have look out of it. It was so easy to talk to her that my next approach was so easy. DAMN ME AND MY FUCKIN NON JAPANESE SPEAKING BRAIN!! I said I had a gift, she repeated the word "gift?" unfortunately I wont be able to translate so I just go ahead and repeat the word gift while opening what I was holding, A rolled up mini poster with a fanart and mesaages. Keik* was so close to me looking at what I was holding, I said it is a fanart with fan messages. she gets it and smiled at me. She said thank you and I said thank you too(fuck you brain for shutting down on a very crucial moment, thank you too?? really??" Keik* added that the fanart was "kawaii" I said thanks again. I dont know how many times we said thanks to each other. And then Hii came, I also gave her the art project saying I drew it and there are fan messages. she replies "ooohh... thank you" Ohhhh God Hii... XD I just cant. I feel my heart stopped. And then Ruu came to the rescue. We gave the gift for Wakana to them. I dont know if I said Wakana-san or Wakana chan? oh well. They said in japanese that They will give it to her Oh and the YK art I also gave but said her name disrespectfully "yuk* kajiur*" I dont know where this part came up. anyway Wakana came looking confused but understand the situation immidiately when she got close. The said thanks and We were about to go when suddenly I remembered the tarp. this time I gave it to the girl with them, thinking she was a staff member(I might have been rude tho) but she understood " for the three of them?" Ruu came in and we opened the tarp for them to see. And then we continue to say thank you and then went ahead because we were suppose to meet other fans. Im glad to meet them "hatou, insidia, konin, apple etc. The girls took awhile to come out, not holding anything. Hmm they must have grabbed a trolley. And ofcourse a picture was taken and they went their merry way. ohh and we greeted them okairi XD or somwthing like that. They went ahead followed by those full trolleys being pushed by theyr staff. What made me happy was that our gift were there, nicely folded and with the rest of their stuff. Im so happy. My emotions are swelling. I'll never forget this moment or Keiko's face when we shooked hands I hope no one finds this and feel the urge to strangle me

『Wakana Anime Classic 2021』 Tokyo ~ Live Commentary
9/4(Sat)@Kioi Hall <Day> Open14:00/Start15:00   ¥3,500 <Night> Open17:30/Start18:30 ¥3,500 Archive: ~September 11 e+「Streaming+」:https://eplus.jp/wakana/st/ If you have the means, please be sure to buy tickets (available for purchase until September 11)! It is important that we support Wakana.
I have tickets for both the day as well as the evening performance and am planning to watch them live so as always, I will be posting my initial thoughts and impressions. I wonder if she will have any cool announcements for us today? Maybe a new release? It’s been a while T_T I wish she would land an anime tie-in gig! It would do wonders for her popularity [This post will be updated throughout the day]
•————— ♬ —————• 
1. Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta Nara: Edit: Oh no, I actually missed this. THANK GOD I have a ticket for the evening performance as well (and there is an archive). Ughhh, why did I mess up the time?! I am stupid. 2. Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa (Day )/Kimi wo Nosete (Night): Phew, I almost missed the start.  Anyways, Wakana looks GORGEOUS. So far I am really liking the piano-violin-cello arrangement, thought it would feel a bit lacking compared to last year’s live but it really doesn’t. Great start!!! I don’t think she sang this in Osaka. MC: Introduction of musicians. 3. Inochi no Namae: *sobs* Was dying to hear this live, it’s so much better than expected. I am blown away. This hits me right in the feels. How is her voice always going straight to my heart??! Goosebumps every single time! 4. Kaze no Toorimichi: Her voice is a bit breathy here, I think she is choosing this style on purpose but I am not a particularly big fan of it. Ahhhh, Loving her “ooooh”s! For the evening portion she changed her singing style a bit so she sounds less breathy. I like it much more this way. 5. Kimi wo Nosete (Day) / Mononoke Hime (Night): I think her performance of Kimi wo Nosete is much better than back in December. Maybe it’s the arrangement which is a tad slower so Wakana isn’t as rushed, not sure. Either way, her vocals are so much stronger here, at least imo. Ah, I see, her night performance setlist seems to be pretty much identical to her Osaka setlist. Makes sense to have Kaze no Toorimichi and Mononoke Hime back to back. perfect combo. Also, so happy I get to hear it again. This is one of the very few old-school anisongs I actually know. And Wakana’s version is to die for!! The arrangement was also breathtaking. MC The first half of her concert is dedicated to Ghibli pieces. The next piece concludes this section. 6. Toki ni wa Mukashi no Hanashi wo: The high parts are flawless here, love them so much. Her “dokoka de” at the end was a bit sudden tho XD INTERMISSION (20 min): She wore the lacey white dress we have already seen in pictures for the first half with her hair down and wavy. For the second half her hair is in an elaborate ponytail and she has changed into a gorgeous blue gown with a sparkling waist belt. So pretty!
Tumblr media
7. Rain: Not my favourite cover song of hers but a lovely performance nonetheless 8. When She Loved Me (Day) / Utautai no Ballad (Night): Ahhh, so happy to have this back again. Unfortunately though, this was a bit shaky at times. Liked her version in December better. Will have to rewatch later. Rewatching it right now, my initial reaction was a bit off, Wakana’s performance was actually really good, not sure why I didn’t like it in the beginning. During the evening performance she sang Utautai no Ballad which was beautiful. The arrangement isn’t as epic as the one with 1966 QUARTET but Wakana’s vocals are TOP NOTCH, much better than last year (she ran a bit out of breath back then). 9. Bokura no Natsu no Yume: I suspected she would sing this because it was also part of her Osaka setlist. I listened to the original which didn’t impress me much. Wakana’s version on the other hand is absolutely beautiful, perfect for her voice. Her” whoooo”s towards the end KILLED me! SP FREAKING GOOD!! MC: Talk about the rainy weather. After all, she is the bringer of rain XD 10. Get Wild: Will never get tired of this. Such a perfect song for Wakana, who would’ve thought? Poor baby, I think she stumbled over her lyrics a bit in the beginning. But she recovered quickly. 11. Kimi Wa Taiyo: Another cover I was expecting since it was also part of the Osaka setlist. Everyone is clapping along and having fun. Not a huge fan of the original song or Wakanas version...Wakana is obviously having a blast but meh, she doesn’t sound too good singing this. Already liking this a bit more now that I am listening to it a second time during the evening performance. It will not become my favourite Wakana-cover but it’s actually a lot of fun (similar to Country Road actually). MC: She wants to hold many more lives like this in the future. It’s already time for the final song before the encore. 12. Ai ni Dekiru Koto wa Mada Aru kai: Nailed it. Perfection. EN. 13. Yatsura no Ashioto no Ballad: Wakana is back on stage with Sin. Initially I didn’t really like this song but by now I am honestly in love with it. MC: She wants to think of us all while singing this and brings back all musicians for this final song. EN. 14. Country Road (Day) / Yume no Yukue (Night): Ohhhh, I didn’t expect  Country Road. Thought she would be singing “Yume no Yukue” from her album. Was so sad when last year the live stream didn’t include the encore so we weren’t able to hear Country Road and Magic Moment. So cute!!! I have never actually heard the Japanese version, so far I have only known the original English version but Wakana’s cover was so freaking adorable! Admittedly not her best vocal performance but she more than made up for it with cuteness. Such a feel-good song! During the night performance she did sing Yume no Yukue though (as expected). Always a pleasure to listen to this. MC: Wakana says she didn’t expect so many people to come to her live. Awww, I am so glad lots of fans showed up to support her even during these tough times. She briefly talked about her upcoming Billboard Lives but no new announcements :-(.
Summary: So for the day portion she sang ALL songs of her cover album with the exception of Yume no Yukue. In addition, she performed  Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa, Bokura no Natsu no Yume (Summer Wars), Kimi wa Taiyo (Oblivion Island: Haruka and the Magic Mirror), When She Loved Me (Toy Story 2) and Country Road (Whisper of the Heart). For the evening performance she dropped Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa and sang Mononoke Hime instead. When She Loved Me got replaced with Utautai no Ballad. Just like in Osaka, she finished he concert with Yume no Yukue.
