As you may already know, there was a massive earthquake in Japan earlier today, with hundreds of deaths reported as of now. This is just a post relaying a twitter post from Yuki Kajiura reassuring us that she, the Kalafina and FJ girls are all fine (except Yuriko who hurt her finger).

“尚、ご心配下さっている皆様へ；Kalafina三人、FJ歌姫ズとはとりあえず連絡が取れていて無事だそうです。ご心配ありがとうございます。貝田さんも指をお怪我されたそうですが、とりあえずご無事のツイートなされています。”

We send our best wishes to everyone affected by the disaster.

Hi guys, I got an awesome email from CDJapan with the news that they now sell a huge collection of Kalafina and FictionJunction merchandise from last year’s tour, including T-shirts, pamphlets, keychains, books, and other things previously only available from Space Craft Store (they only ship within Japan)! Now we can get them for the same price + shipping from CDJ :D.
