Thanks to Keiri for the live news!

According to Anime News Network, Yuki Kajiura has received the “Best Soundtrack” award for the Fate/Zero soundtrack in the 2nd Newtype Annual Anime Awards. This is indeed an exceptional moment, even if it’s by a magazine and not an Oscar or Cannes scale 😀 CONGRATULATIONS Kajiura-san!!

Kadokawa Shoten’s Monthly Newtype magazine established the annual award contest in 2011, and any anime released between October 2011 and July 2012 was eligible. Visitors to Newtype’s site could vote for the different categories. The awards were presented during a ceremony at the Machi Asobi Vol. 9 event in Tokushima on Sunday. Click here to see the rest of the winners.

On a video probably from a Japanese anime related show, there are shown various scenes from the new Madoka movies (which will premiere worldwide in 18 cities of 8 countries and Japan) , and during it you can hear sample of the new ClariS song “Luminous”, brand new BGMs, Kalafina version of Credens Justitiam (probably “Mirai”) as well as a new sample of Magia [quattro]!! Enjoy!

thanks to grunty for the news!

[EDIT] Furthermore you can listen to a Magia [quattro] sample – out of Kalafina Club radio show – here (found in this blog)
