The Kalafina website has updated, with un-darkened photos of the two new members, and plays a short preview clip of ARIA, the ending theme for the 4th Kara no Kyoukai film: Garan no Dou. Mouseovers of the members show full unveiled photos. The site has also added a link to the Kalafina blog, where it is revealed that in addition to the first two members (Wakana Ootaki and Keiko Kubota, FictionJunction vocalists), there are two newly discovered vocalists named Maya and Hikaru, chosen from auditions with over 30,000 aspiring singers.

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?]
