[Kalafina] They woke up in a fairytale
 

WELCOME TO THE KALAFINA THREAD

http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...nacovermw3.jpg

Kalafina (Ｋａｌａｆｉｎａ, Karafina?) is a Japanese band formed by composer Yuki Kajiura in 2007 to mainly perform theme songs for the anime Kara no Kyoukai. The band debuted in January 2008 with two original members from Yuki Kajiura's FictionJunction project, Wakana Ootaki and Keiko Kubota (not confirmed until the first Dream Port 2008 concert held on April 29, 2008). In May 2008, two vocalists Maya and Hikaru were confirmed as the final members of Kalafina.

covers for Kalafina's "storia"


storia |LISTEN|


Official Website

^:thud i love those covers!!!! but i love the promo even more!! AND WHERE THE HELL IS MAYA??!!!!!

gonna listen to the preview tommorow cuz im sooooo tired ._____.

Maya announced her leaving when "storia" first was known.

^ awww really?? thats sad :(

The promo pic is so nice. The cover are a bit random. I need bigger cover to appreciate them.

Is it a preview or full song?

^ Preview.

Sounds like another great song!

thanks I'll wait for the full version^^

I like their songs under their name See-Saw and Fiction-Junction (they went by these names before right?).

But then I got so confused when they kept changing names and stuff. And did they change group members also?

No, See-Saw and FictionJunction YUUKA were all just projects that Kaijura Yuki did with other girls, she was always the one composing and writing songs (playing the instruments) and the other girls would simply sing. Kalafina is a band that is made of a few vocalists, but still a Kaijura Yuki project. There were 2 people involved in both See-Saw and FJ YUUKA, Kaijura Yuki + a vocalist (which was a different girl). Of course the wiki page would prolly make more sense than I do xD

i love preview of new song!

and some info (wich already in first post)
so, some of them are from FictionJunction...

they are gospol-ish ,, i think :P dunno how to really describe their genre,, you should just try them out XD

nobody have bigger cover?

^ from YA:



i really wish they used the promo as one of the covers,,

storia sounds AMAZING

thanks^^

You should! You won't be desappointed^^

Ok, thx for explanation! :)

I wonder why they put all the A and B sides at the beginning of the album.

There are some news!

Today Sony announced the details about the album. It will be titled Red Moon, and it will contain:

◇『I have a dream』…アニメ映画「イヴの時間」主題歌

13 songs total.

There will be a limited edition with some kind of box and a photobooklet, and the DVD will include videos of the Kalafina LIVE 2009 "progressive", the NHK 「MUSIC JAPAN」Shinseiki Anisong SP 2 Kalafina performances (ARIA, Hikari no Senritsu) and a documentary about last year’s Kalafina & Yuki Kajiura visit at ANIME BOSTON 2009.

I like the new title more than the other :luv2 And I hope the tracklist won't change too much :headache
