This isn’t really news but it’s just too awesome so I just had to share it for those who don’t visit the forum XDD (which you all totally should because there are often things that we can’t post as news but are still worth gushing over…hehe…).

Back in November there was an anime music event called ANIMAX MUSIX Fall 2010, where Kalafina performed anime songs with many other artists. In addition to their own, they also performed this special Kajiura-arranged version of See-Saw‘s classic Anna ni Issho Datta no ni. It was a live event, but just aired on TV this week.

They also covered Yuzurenai Negai with ELISA.

Okay, it’s back to studying for me!!
