As you may have noticed, our site was completely wiped after our host was hacked, and weekly backups were lost as well as they were stored on the same server for some reason. As a result, our forum has been restored to September 13, 2008. I’m sorry beyond imagination for all the lost posts and accounts ;_; and I sincerely hope you’ll all continue to stick around and we can rebuild our awesome community! I’ve made so many wonderful friends and met so many amazing people here, as I’m sure you have too 🙂 I love you all~ <3
Members that joined after that date will have to re-register >_< I am so sorry!
Thank you to everyone for your undying enthusiasm and support ~
A warm welcome to all new members! You’ll enjoy it here, I promise <3 Please feel free to post as much as you can to get things back on track! The main site content has also time-travelled to its September 2008 state, though we (Kerahna, Badmin, george1234, and Sudrien) are hard at work restoring all the news posts and site content that has been created since then. If anyone has any specific requests in regards to which sections or specific pages they’d like prioritized, please leave a comment or a shout!

Let’s make it through this together~ <3

Sony has posted a video clip of the Storia PV, which was shot in May. The 40-second video also contains a bit of the song that wasn’t heard in the previously released sound clip. The full video will be available on the DVD packaged with the limited edition of Kalafina’s single, set for release July 1, 2009.
Click here to view it.

Also released recently is the cover and tracklist for Pandora Hearts OST 1.

Pandora Hearts Original Soundtrack 1 VTCL-60120 | July 8, 2009 Soundtrack 26 Tracks

Aaand one more announcement: thanks to the hard work of george1234 and the nagging encouragement of various forum members, we now have a page dedicated to official published sheet music by Yuki Kajiura, which can be viewed here.

Sony has released a 40-second sample of storia, from Kalafina’s next single.

Thanks to Maha Gnosis for the tip about the sample.
Thanks to grunty for the cover images and sample rip….hehehe!

[EDIT]

The Rekishi Hiwa Historia official site announced that the music that Yuki Kajiura composed for the series will be released in an Original Soundtrack on August 26, 2009, by Sony.

This is a bit of an unusual post because it’s not exactly news; just a report from Anime Boston 2009, which took place this past weekend.

First of all I want to announce that the scrapbook has been delivered to Kalafina and Yuki Kajiura! Thanks again to everyone who contributed ^_^ Your messages and artwork were beautiful! We ran into Kalafina, Yuki, and their entourage in the hotel lobby after the convention, and Yuki has asked me to send her greetings to everyone on canta-per-me.net! and I almost fainted.

Below are some materials and reports gathered from the convention; more stuff from the media will probably pop up within a few days, but here’s what we have so far:

• Kerahna’s Report – Mostly text; incl. concert set list
• Kalafina Panel – Sound Recording (wav, ~25 min)
• Kalafina Panel – Audience Transcript
• Kalafina/KnK Panel – Sound Recording (wav, ~25 min)
• Photos of Kalafina and Yuki Kajiura and… us ^^;
• J-Pop World Interview – Text
• JaME Interview – Text
• Japanator Interview – Text
• Rokkyuu Interview – Text
• Anime Dream Interview – Text
• Damn Writer’s Block Interview – Text
• outoftimeproductions Convention Report – Videos

I’m a little worried about posting the panel sound recordings here; no “videography or photography” was allowed in the panel, so I hope I’m not breaking any rules by recording the sounds ^^; I’ll delete the files if I find out it’s unacceptable.

[EDIT] I’ve been adding new interviews to this list, so sorry if it’s been spamming your feed reader ^^;

A Kalafina single has just been announced for release this July; we dont know the title yet, but well update the discography as soon as we find out. The single will contain music composed by Yuki Kajiura from NHKs Rekishi Hiwa Historia.
