You can read all the information about the event in Japanese in this special page she wrote herself. Below are the most important parts, translated thanks to yuki.n

Details:

1. You should use always hashtag #YKL9SK and send you messages to her @FJukatsu account (hashtags serve so that the messages go to the twitter event page and not her account wall)
2. Watch the copyright warnings, enter the menu, and at 22:00 o’clock (Japan time) press “play all”.
3. Once “toki no mukou maboroshi no sora” ends, there will be a 5 minutes intermission for people to change DVD discs because its 2 DVDs (those that have the Blu ray can just pause).
4. You shouldnt be writing to her @Fion0806 account during the event because she wont be able to see them, but only at @FJukatsu, however in case she reaches the messages limit she will change to @Fion0806.
5. There will be also discussion about the “Making off” video that’s only in the Blu-ray release. Kajiura-san apologises to those that will have the DVD release.
6. This event is organized by Kajiura herself and has nothing to do with record companies and no other members (vocalists/musicians) apart from Kajiura herself will participate.
