Kalafina Remix Single: [Re/oblivious]

Posted , Updated

Holy craaapppppp I posted this last night and then the server died again and now I have to repost and i stayed up to 2am for nothing T_T Anyways hopefully there will be no more downtime and no more erasing stuff. The recent posts on the main site and forum all got erased. I’m trying to restore everything manually right now, but I don’t think there’s anything I can do about the forum.

ANYHOW… Yuki Kajiura announced in her blog last night that there will be a remix of the Oblivious single, by Kalafina, released on April 23, 2008. She calls it a remix/retake of the three songs, and it will be her first time doing a pure remix release. Good luck, Yuki!

Further information posted on Sony’s Kalafina mailing list revealed that the mini-remix album will include a remix of oblivious, and an acoustic arrange version of Kimi ga Hikari ni Kaete Yuku. It does not mention Kizuato, but does state that the single will be 12 minutes long.

Yuki also announced that Kalafina will be performing at all three shows of Dream Port 2008 – the concert collaboration with Revo/Sound Horizon. FictionJunction YUUKA had been confirmed as a guest earlier. (The third concert was announced just recently, probably after overflowing ticket sales XD) The performances will be on April 29, May 5, and May 15, and more information can be found on the Upcoming Works/Events page.

Oblivious PV Preview?

Posted , Updated

There is a short video clip for “Oblivious” at Sony’s Kalafina site, with new views of the Kalafina girls and some pretty animations. The video is 30 seconds long, and pans through near-still images of the vocalists with “Oblivious” playing in the background. Not sure if this is a preview of the full PV, or just a video promoting the single released earlier this year (as the main themes for the first three out of seven installments of Kara no Kyoukai). Thanks again to the amazing J. Uzuki for the discovery!

Click on the TV icon next to “Oblivious” to watch the video in a popup. I haven’t been able to open it with Firefox, but it works in IE.

Yuki Composing Amatsuki ED for Kaori Hikita

Posted , Updated

J. Uzuki posted some exciting news in the forum today; Yuki Kajiura is going to be composing the ending theme for Amatsuki, a 13-episode anime set to begin in April of this year, airing late nights on 7 channels across Japan. The song will be titled “名まえのない道” (Namae no Nai Michi), and performed by Kaori Hikita, whom we had heard before in Yuki’s “Michiyuki” (Loveless ED), and “Egao no Wake” (Shounen Onmyouji OP). The lyrics will be written by Yuho Iwasato, who usually writes lyrics for Yoko Kanno. The song will be arranged by Masayuki Sakamoto, who also arranged Michiyuki and the Romeo x Juliet OP, both of which sounded amazing. This is really something to look forward to 😀

FictionJunction KAORI to sing Hokuto no Ken: Toki Den ED

Posted , Updated

Yuki made two massive posts today, the first regarding her gardening (with pictures of a beautiful amaryllis :D), and the second announcing that FictionJunction KAORI will be singing the ending theme for the Hokuto no Ken: Toki Den OVA (Fist of the North Star: the Legend of Toki), titled “花守の丘” (Hanamori no Oka). We have heard FJKaori before, in Dream Scape from Tsubasa Chronicle Future Soundscape III, and in “Calling”, the Baccano! ED. The DVD will be released on March 6, 2008. As we know from before, Yuki Kajiura will be doing the rest of the soundtrack, for which a release date has not yet been announced.

You can hear a sample of the song at the Hokuto no Ken Website or click the player below.

Spring is arriving in Tokyo… we wish Yuki the best of luck in the war against allergies!

FictionJunction UKATSU

Posted , Updated

In Yuki’s post on February 16, she mentions “FictionJunction UKATSU”, a name we’ve never seen before! 😀 However, she doesn’t talk much about UKATSU, and instead focuses on how fragile the MacBook Air is.

In other news, she has ordered a new 8gb iPod nano, and likes the MacBook Air, but didn’t buy one. Her next single will be the last Mahou Sensei Negima TV Drama (live action) ending theme (KICM-3166), sung by Sara Wakatsuki and Mihoko Kondo who play Asuna and Kazumi. The single will be released on March 26, 2008.

[EDIT]ROFL okay so we just got PWNED. Ukatsu no exist. Ukatsu mean mistake. I hope you guys at 2ch.net had a good laugh 😉 I suspected the announcement of a new singer wouldn’t be so subtle >_<
