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.

You can watch a greeting from Kalafina followed by the full Lacrimosa PV from the Biglobe website. Also included is a clip of the live performance of Kizuato, from their first single.

(The PV begins at 1:37)
