Who is カラフィナ?



Bio: Kalafina (カラフィナ) is a Japanese band formed by composer Yuki Kajiura in 2007, mainly to perform theme songs for the anime Kara no Kyōkai. The band debuted in January 2008 with two original members from Yuki Kajiura's FictionJunction project, Wakana Ōtaki and Keiko Kubota (not confirmed until the first Dream Port 2008 concert held on April 29, 2008). In May 2008, two vocalists Maya (who is no longer a part of Kalafina) and Hikaru, who had been chosen from an audition of 30,000 participants held by Sony Music Japan and Yuki Kajiura, were confirmed as the final members of Kalafina.

I love Kalafina Thanks for the second thread! Looking forward to the new material.

[mellody]

Wow someone starts a new thread so fast, I wonder how Ranma think XD
Because we're planning to combine all Yuki Kajiura projects in one thread, including FictionJunction, FJ YUUKA, See Saw, etc.

Anyway, the length of the tracks for After Eden has revealed as well, no more intro this time, but we got another short track that acts like an interlude (something like intermezzo in Red Moon)

01. Eden (5:38)
02. Sandpiper (6:03)
03. Magia (5:09)
04. Kugatsu (3:42)
05. In your eyes (6:01)
06. destination unknown (5:03)
07. Neverending (4:22)
08. Koto no ha (2:45)
09. Magnolia (5:47)
10. Kagayaku Sora no Shijima ni wa (4:12)
11. Mune no Yukue (6:16)
12. snow falling (4:38)
13. symphonia (5:44)

Yay new thread! And yay new album! I absolutely love the name of the album, and I'm really excited for all these songs. I feel that their sound for this album is really strong, judging from the singles.

Random question-- What are your guys' top five songs by Kalafina?

[CHE.R.RY]

2. oblivious
3. Natsu no Ringo
4. Ongaku
5. Hikari no Senritsu

That wasn't easy

[octocoffee]

4. Lacrimosa

[Ranma Matsuri]

@mellody: Lol, well someone had to do it. XD We can PM each other about the Yuki thread or talk about it here whichever you prefer. :3

And agree with the rest, that's a very lovely first post CHE.R.RY.

My top five... hmmmm, this is hard lol.

1. Hikari no Senritsu
2. sprinter
3. ARIA
4. storia
5. Yami no Uta

Ugh, this was hard and probably not totally accurate because there's still love come down, Red Moon, Gloria and Hoshi no Utai all of which I love just as much. It's nearly impossible to rank one over the other. >.<

[CHE.R.RY]

Thanx everyone!

& I agree about the top 5...I still am unsure of my choices!
Gah still a good month before after eden's release !!!

[*hearT_Place*]

Hooray for a new thread!!

Top 5....hmmm...

1. magia
2. symphonia (SOOO excited about the longer version that's going to be on the album
3. Kimi ga hikaru ni kaete yuku
4. oblivious
5. red moon
....I think? It was really, REALLY hard to narrow it down to 5.

Side note: I just had a fangirl squeal attack when I realized that the US iTunes store is finally, FINALLY carrying Red Moon and the Magia single! Hopefully, it won't take them long to pick up After Eden!
