Yuki Kajiura has posted that she will be composing for the NHK TV series – Rekishi Hiwa Historia (歴史秘話ヒストリア)- to begin airing on April 8, 2009.

A history variety show, Rekishi Hiwa Historia was made by NHK Osaka and aired for one episode last July, where the .hack track, “in the land of twilight,under the moon“, was used as theme music. Starting in April, this show will become a regular TV series featuring a complete soundtrack by Yuki Kajiura.

No information yet on potential CD soundtrack releases.

Thanks to Kazado for the news, and Yumi for the background information!

[EDIT] I forgot to mention a few tidbits: details on the Parallel Hearts single have been released, and also the Yuki Kajiura LIVE Vol. #4 concert has been expanded to an Everlasting Songs Tour, across three Japanese cities in July. There will also be an exclusive Fan Club event held in May.

And don’t forget to…

As you already know, Yuki Kajiura and Kalafina (Keiko, Wakana, Hikaru) will be visiting as the guests of honor at Anime Boston 2009. For this occasion, we will be printing and presenting to them a scrapbook in person at the convention! Everyone is invited to send them a message, a piece of artwork, poetry, music, or anything you like to be included in the scrapbook (which will have a CD component as well)! The book will be linen-bound hardcover, 9″ x 10.5″. This is your chance to have Yuki hold your work in her hands .

The form below gives you space to write your own messages to Yuki Kajiura and Kalafina. The final space titled “Other Submissions” is for including whatever you like – a link to your fanart, music, or writing. There will be no judging or filtering of submissions (except for spam, of course), and all submissions will be incorporated in the book, so don’t worry about not being accepted!

Visit the form page for more information.

Thanks for your contribution, everyone, and please help spread the word!

The full PV of Kalafina’s new song, Lacrimosa has been released online. The single will be released next week, on March 4, 2009.
