[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.

rookies 7th June 2009 07:10 PM

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?

AyUta 9th June 2009 05:49 AM

^ Yes, exactly. I'm a bit confused still myself.

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

JackieRos 24th June 2009 10:04 AM

oh my they look gorgeous
what genre of music are they?

Aderianu 24th June 2009 01:45 PM
