Thanks to wlily for the tip!
And here’s another video from Kawaii Girl Japan XD

Additionally, we are looking for an editor to create the brand new merchandise section of our site! It will deal with concert goods, books (like Kalafina Record), calendars, etc. If you’re interested in the position, leave a message on this post or email kerahna at canta-per-me.net. Click here for more details.

[EDIT] A special page for After Eden has been opened in the Kalafina site. Click here to see it!

I just had to make this post after seeing the cover art for Kalafina Record RE! No news yet on the LE cover. If you still want a copy and haven’t ordered it, there are a few left for preorder from CDJ. Regular – 8 left LE (Small shirt) – 1 left LE (Large shirt) – 6 left Click the picture for a giant version courtesy of grunty 🙂 and here for more details about the book. While we’re on the subject of merchandise, the Kalafina 2012 Calendar is also available on CDJ now. It was previously available from Amazon only.

And now, here is an interview (subbed!) from Kawaii Girl Japan, with Kalafina talking about their new album. Kalafina is their artist of the month, and you can enter to win an autographed postcard!

In other news, there is a mini-live announced for September 25 at Tower Records Umeda for people who purchased the After Eden album.

Also, they are starting to preview the songs from After Eden on Kalafina’s weekly radio show, Kalafina Club. This week they presented “Kugatsu”. Visit the forum for more information on how to listen in :).

Actually make that 10! One Christmas Live and six regular concerts, interspersed with three “house ver.” lives. There are few weeks left to pre-order your copy of “After Eden” and receive a bonus mousepad! Remember only online purchases from HMV, Sony and CDJapan (and a few other Japan-based e-stores) will get you the mousepad.

Sony has released the designs for the mousepad that you will be getting with your After Eden preorder. Suspiciously, they gave the “better” mousepad to RE so I guess we all have to go buy that one too!

Design A (LE)	Design B (RE)

Pre-order: Limited Edition (+DVD) | Regular Edition
Note: Unlike the Madoka postcard, you WILL be getting these mousepads with your CDJ preorder. HMV orders are also valid, but NOT YesAsia or Play-Asia!

[EDIT] The official Kalafina site has updated for the promotion of After Eden and now it features a clip of the symphonia PV that is going to be included into the Limited Edition DVD. Click here to visit and watch it.

Today Sony announced that in 3 specific Japanese store chains, Kalafina’s third album After Eden will come with a special Puella Magi Madoka Magica postcard where Mami, Madoka and Homura wear the outfits that Wakana Keiko and Hikaru wear on the album cover. It will be additional to the Kalafina postcard that comes with the LE, it will be given with both RE and LE. The offer will be available only in the following 3 stores: Animate, Ani Bro, Toranoana.
