To all my valued Niku-Choco Members I'm really sorry for making you feel worried, uneasy and sad after announcing the Kalafina concert. I got to speak with Kajiura-san and received encouraging words from her that gave me the push I needed. Singing Kalafina's music together with Wakana and Hikaru is something I have always wished for. I am beyond grateful to be able to perform with the two of them again and I believe the only thing I can do as a singer is to sing well. So on January 15th next year, the three of us will sing with all our hearts. Also, please know that I'm off to the Asia tour in high spirits with Kajiura-san, Hikaru, my beloved fellow songstresses and everyone from FBM. KEIKO

Yuki Kajiura LIVE vol.#20～Japanese Seal 20th Special～ Kanagawa Performance & TV Broadcast Announced

Today was the second performance of YKL Vol.#20. The tour is titled “Special Japanese Seal” referring to the fact that no Japanese songs will be performed. This exclusion does not apply to the encore section. After the Tokyo live last week, they held a concert in Kanagawa. There were lots of cameras at the venue. The setlist was pretty much the same with only the final song of the main section being replaced. Instead of "paradise regained", they sang "open your heart". After the live had ended, it was announced that the entire concert (with no cut songs) would be broadcast on TBS Channel 1.

The broadcast is scheduled to air in September 2024. ※Further details will be announced at a later date. (Wonder if we'll ever get a broadcast/release of YKL Vol.#18? According to fan reports, there were cameras around for the final Osaka performance back in the summer of 2023 so there should be some footage floating around somewhere.)

『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

KEIKO Instagram Live #78

[20240330] KEIKO Insta Live #78 WITHOUT comments

I am of course biased but this was definitely one of my favourite lives. I just love this sort of beauty content. Watching Keiko do her make-up and hair is so much fun. The curls look amazing on her! (I'll admit, I am actually not the biggest fan of plain straight hair, I prefer a bit of dynamic and volume). We got a little hint of some of her upcoming solo activities. April will be dedicated to her YouTube Cover Collection. Then we have a bunch of YK stuff. For the end of summer, she plans to do a FC event that's supposed to have some sort of variety show vibe so expect it to be funny. I would assume it's gonna be similar to Keiko's Room #14 but a bit more elaborate or maybe like Wakana's FC Online Event during the summer of 2021 where she played all sorts of games. We shall see. After that, we can expect some normal lives again but she reveals nothing specific.

[putschki1969]

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.

【GRL】 Current Clothes to Wear 【2024】

Hello, this is Hikaru. Thank you for watching! This time, I'm introducing some of my recent GRL purchases💄 I chose clothes that suit the current season👚 It's been getting really hot lately...☀️ While taking precautions against sunburn and heatstroke, I want to enjoy fashion that you can only wear in the summer☺️ If you have any video suggestions, please leave them in the comment section📝

Note: Those GRL hauls by Hikaru are always such a treat. It's hard to resist not going on a shopping spree when I see all this stuff. Gladly, most of it is not really my style but some items are super cute.

Rehearsal for YKL Vol 20

As previously announced, Kaori will be taking a break from her live activities to focus on her family, this also includes the final performance of Yuki Kajiura LIVE vol.#20～日本語封印20th Special～ which is scheduled to take place today, on August 3 in Saitama. To make up for a missing vocalist, Yuki Kajiura has decided invite Hikaru as a guest! To accommodate for the changes, the setlist of the main part of the concert will be adapted to include some Japanese songs (we can probably expect a few Kalafina covers!). Here are some rehearsal pictures and a shot from today just before the concert. Tweet 1 & Tweet 2 & Tweet 3 by Hikaru

Hello! Do you know if there will be a recorded version of the YKL 18 lives?? I really want to hear Gaika and Kimi ga ita monogatari again!

Hello there!

Uhmmm, that's a hard question. The simple answer would be: I have no idea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Maybe, maybe not?

As far as I can tell, there were no cameras at the Saitama venue but that's not really surprising. If they decide to do a recording, they will probably do one for the Tokyo shows in mid-August. They did offer a broadcast option for YKL Vol.#17 so they could definitely do the same for Vol.#18. In fact, I think this would be a perfect opportunity for a broadcast, considering they are performing all the new album tracks and a bunch of old classics.

Now we just have to hope that they won't change the setlist too much for the upcoming performances. I am DYING to hear "cynical world" but unfortunately, that's the type of song that is most likely to be exchanged for future performances. Well, let's wait and see...

Hello Sarah!

First of all, thank you for all the hard work you're doing to share all the information with us, it helps me greatly every day, I'm super thankful 🥹

I have a little question... I'm really thinking about going to the Kajifes in December but I don't know what's smarter... To pass through Keiko's fan club (is it even possible for foreigners? Maybe i don't have enough time anyway...and I think it's over for the FJ fan club...) Or simply wait for info for the general ticketing for overseas customers via the Kajifes website... I can't grasp if it'll be hard to get tickets or if I can just relax and wait and see... Or is there another way that I'm not aware of? 🥹

I've been a fan for so long, but it's my first realizing I'm an adult now so I can just travel and go lol, so I'm not so sure how to proceed about the tickets ><

Again, thank you so much for everything!

Take care of yourself!

Hello there!

You are very welcome 😊

Correct, the FictionJunction Station FC lottery ended on May 7 and the results have already been announced (Note: I won my ticket for Day 2, BANZAI!!🤗).

Keiko's FC lottery started on May 8 and will end on May 17 so you technically still have time to apply if you are a member. However, that ticket lottery is hosted on e+ which requires a registered account (SMS verification via Japanese phone number necessary) so it is quite troublesome to apply as a foreigner.

Those who purchased the new FJ album "PARADE" may make use of the included serial code to take part in another special CD lottery which ends on June 7. Although once again, e+ is handling the lottery so it's not the most appealing option for foreigners.

The upcoming general lottery will also be hosted on e+ and is about to start on May 15 with a deadline of June 14.

Unless you know someone in Japan or have a lot of experience with a variety of proxy services, I honestly recommend that you wait until they announce ticket details for overseas travelers.

The platform e+ has their own overseas service which makes it very convenient for us foreigners to purchase tickets. There's no verified registration needed, typically you will buy a ticket straight away with no lottery, they accept overseas payment methods and you just pick up your ticket at the counter on the day of the event. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. I am expecting them to announce more infos on this foreigner-friendly option once all the lotteries are done, so around mid June. They might take their sweet time though so don't hold your breath just yet. As soon as they have made their announcement, you shouldn't hesitate, you will have to act quickly since it's all on a first come, first served basis. For YKL Vol 18, they didn't reserve a huge number of tickets for foreigners which resulted in tickets being sold out rather quickly so I assume the same will happen for YKL Vol 19 (= Kaji Fes). I will definitely be keeping everyone up-to-date on this!

I hope this was somehow helpful.

KEIKO 32nd Instagram Live

[20230126] KEIKO Insta Live #32 with comments

Sorry, no video without comments this time. Hope you can still enjoy it! I haven’t really had the time to watch the whole thing yet but I don’t think she mentions anything note-worthy. Really enjoyed her little guitar session of “Yoru no Uso to”.

Yuki Kajiura LIVE vol.#17～PARADE～ Sprinter

I obviously have to share this amazing performance of “sprinter” with you! I know most overseas fans can’t purchase a ticket on e+ so I don't think it’s an issue sharing some footage right away. I am planning to share the whole live eventually but for now, please enjoy this! Had to cut the beginning because Tumblr only allows 5 minutes per video.

For anyone who is interested, HERE’s my excerpt from today’s live report.

I really didn’t expect to cry because as we all know, I have never been the biggest fan of the normal version of sprinter but damn, this hit me right in the feels. Both Keiko and Hikaru sounded AMAZING! I definitely teared up seeing them on stage together like this with their radiant smiles, having so much fun and singing this song which obviously means so much to them and the audience. *sobs* I loved the higher harmonies added by Yuriko. Some of Joelle’s parts felt out of place to me, especially towards the end. I am so sorry, Joelle, I really don’t mean to bash you all the time! You don’t deserve it at all and it’s not your fault that I am still so hung up on Wakana but here you really have no chance of ever making up for her absence or “replacing” her. Not that Joelle is actually trying to replace Wakana but I guess people know what I am trying to say… It just feels odd to hear her voice and not Wakana’s T_T

What did you all think?
