Last weekend (May 17 and 18, 2013) Kalafina were invited as Guests of Honor at Chicago’s “Anime Central” (ACen) anime convention, where they performed at Rosemont Theatre on May 17 and held a Kalafina panel and signing (autograph) session on May 18. A number of CPM members gone at the convention and reported back Here’s the setlist:
Yesterday the big concert happened. Yuki Kajiura, Kalafina, FictionJunction, Yuuka, Asuka, and guests Hanae Tomaru, Eri Itou, Yuri Kasahara, Emily Bindiger, Remi Tanaka, the musicians and guest accordionist Sato Yoshiaki and flutist Rie Akagi, filled a 5 hours concert performing 53 songs, most of them previously seen again but performed with awesome vocal combinations! CPM members Kugayama, Hatouchan, yuki.n, meerkat, Kagaribi no Hanabira were there and reported details on which singers sung each song, and more. It was reported that cameras were recording the concert, so we can start praying it comes out on BD
In other news, in this week’s GUNDAM SEED DESTINY HD REMASTER episode (7) was featured a “Re-tracks” ver of “Fields of Hope” by Rie Tanaka (composed by Yuki Kajiura), called Fields of hope ~ReTracks. We’re awaiting to see what will be the coupling song, if it will be released as single, like it happened with Anna ni issho datta no ni and Akatsuki no Kuruma.
Thanks to joel_jman for the fields of hope news!
[EDIT] Here are some Reports made by the forum members that attended the Yuki Kajiura LIVE vol.#10:
Since news has been a little quiet, I thought I’d make a post about something I think many visitors here don’t know about yet – a project to fansub video clips of favorite artists! Currently led by tsubasa, Varete, aki, Equalizer, and arqnohikari, they’ve put out an impressive list of interviews, MC clips, and documentaries that can be seen here! (And at Varete’s youtube channel)
Here’s an example of their work: a 40 minute interview with Yuki Kajiura from 2010. Watch it, check out the rest of their amazing work, and maybe volunteer your own talents to their initiative!
