Here is an *adorable* interview posted a few days ago by Kawaii Girl Japan. They talk about each other, singing, and the new Magia single. We don’t normally post interviews in news but this one was subbed in English just for us, the English speaking audience XD! For a huge list of translated and nontranslated interviews, check out our interviews section.

Magia will be released on the 16th of this month, and CDJapan has already shipped preorders!
If you still haven’t ordered a copy, now’s your chance :).

As metioned in a previous newspost, FictionJunction covered the song Gatherway in Brave Exkaiser’s cover album called Harvest, that will be released on February 23, 2011.

JVC updated today with samples of the covered songs. You can listen to Gatherway as covered by FictionJunction and arranged by Yuki Kajiura, and to Arashi no Hero as covered by Yuuka Nanri and arranged by Takumi Ozawa by clicking the links.

Click here to pre-order the album from CDJapan. It’s also available at YesAsia, with free shipping.

Thanks to Keiri for the info!

Back in December, Kalafina performed the full version of Magia at LisAni! Live 2010 before it was ever heard on TV! Now the full concert has been aired on TV for everyone to see. Check it out before Sony takes it down! I wonder why it’s called “promotion” when it’s on TV, but “piracy” when it’s on youtube? If you haven’t bought the CD yet, you can still pre-order all three versions although the First Press editions have sold out long ago (it will ship a couple days after release). Remember, pre-orders will contribute to Kalafina’s Oricon rankings! 🙂 And you’ll be supporting our site too.

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!!
