An almost 6-minute long interview with Revo and Yuki Kajiura regarding their Dream Port 2008 collaboration has been posted on King Records’s website. Click the link to stream (.asx player, requires IE 6+) from King Records, or watch it below.

If anyone is able/willing to translate (or know someone who does), please help us out!

By the way, I’ve also uploaded the English interview from the MADLAX OST 1 booklet and the Aquarian Age liner notes, in case anyone was interested ^_^.

As we mentioned earlier, a series of interviews will be posted on dreamport2008.com, starting today. The first 40-second portion of the interview has been released and can be viewed on the site or below:

The first part is Revo talking about his impression of Yuki Kajiura, and the second part is Yuki’s impression of Revo. Rough translations below (I am hoping to get a more detailed version later).

[Text: Impressions of each other: Revo -> Kajiura]
Revo: She’s a laid back girl, though I thought she was going to be more serious.
[Text: Impressions of each other: Kajiura -> Revo]
Yuki: He’s childish, and kind of selfish….like a king.
[Text: like a king?]

Visit the Future Works/Events for more information on the concerts and maxi single.

The Sound Horizon website has announced the title of the Dream Port 2008 Maxi Single KIZM-15～16, a collaboration between Revo and Yuki Kajiura to be released on June 18, 2008. The song, 砂塵の彼方へ (Sajin no Kanata e) which translates roughly to “Beyond the Sand Clouds”, will also be on the DVD. The CD will also contain an arranged version of the song, which seems to be the Main Theme of Dream Port 2008.

In addition, it has been announced that starting this Friday (April 18, 2008), video interviews with Revo and Yuki will be posted on the Dream Port 2008 website, and we are instructed to not miss out on it!

Unfortunately the interview will probably be in Japanese, and we will all miss out on it, so if anyone reading this is able to help translate and is willing to volunteer, please please please let us know! 6.19% of all visits to this site are from Japan, so I know you’re out there!!

If you scroll down a bit on Sound Horizon’s news page, you’ll also see a series of stickers that will be given out as a free gift when you purchase the CD, and they differ from store to store. (Does that mean if we want them all, we have to buy a CD from each store? XD

The Kalafina website has posted three samples from the Re/oblivious mini-album to be released on April 23, 2008. Visit their site or click below to stream the samples.
