Today, it was announced by the FictionJunction CLUB official site, and also via Yuki Kajiura’s twitter that, to commemorate the club’s third anniversary, they will release a single exclusively for the club’s members. The single’s title track is “sing a song“, the theme song of the club, and the c/w “silent moon“, an acapella song originating from Yuki’s amateur days with Chiaki, before officially becoming See-Saw! Both songs are expected to be performed by the FictionJunction and Kalafina singers.

More information about the single, like the release date, the product code and the recording label will be released in March’s FJC newsletter. Please note that in order to join the FictionJunction club, you must have a Japanese mailing address. Alternatively, you can employ one of several Japanese fan club services (e.g. mukunoki) to redirect the mail for a price that is unfortunately more than double the cost of actual club membership T_T.

Haruna Luna is also a model for the fashion magazine “KERA” (which often features Keiko of Kalafina/FJ too), and drew public attention as a finalist for the fourth Anime Song Grand Prix of Japan. Kajiura has reportedly praised her voice for its sense of presence. For more info, visit her official site, or her page on spacecraft.

A quick reminder for those who plan on ordering the new Kalafina DVD from CDJapan, it’s a good idea to do it before January 31, 2012! They are currently having a promotion for 10% bonus points on all SONY CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Rays. It’s not a huge bonus but if you were planning to do it anyway, now’s the time :3 If you ordered it already, don’t worry! The promotion started December 1 so you probably already got your points.
