[Kalafina] They woke up in a fairytale - Page 24

I got some info regarding your question Chiharo.

If you check at CDJapan for Limited Edition for After Eden, the weight says (around) 300g. As a normal album with CD+DVD, usually it's just only 100-200g. One of my friend (which is diehard Kalafina fans) said that there's also a 40 page deluxe pamphlet bonus.

If you're wondering about the content, most of the fans said, the content will be some photoshoot from their visit to Anime Expo 2011 at LA. Because in recent blog post about Anime Expo, Hikaru says they visit lots of place for photoshoot, so it might be possible, since the DVD content is also live footage from their visit.

Also, Red Moon has a booklet too FYI.

So I think it's really worth buying. *pre-ordering*

Chiharo · #**462** 27th July 2011, 03:35 PM

^Thanks mellody. I think that if that's the case then I'm definitely pre-ordering the limited ver. Or maybe I should wait to see the covers...? Eh I don't know.

mellody · #**463** 27th July 2011, 03:38 PM

Well, as for covers, I kinda believe it would be great, Kagayaku Sora and Magia were so awesome, as well as seventh heaven and Red Moon, so I kinda believe.

Chiharo · #**464** 27th July 2011, 03:56 PM

Haha yeah, Kalafina never fails us with covers that's for sure. I think I'll preorder after all.

Ranma Matsuri · #**465** 27th July 2011, 08:57 PM

Oh sweet. So the Anime expo footage is up there.

*sigh*

CHE.R.RY · #**466** 27th July 2011, 09:37 PM

Yeah they tend to have beautiful covers to fit their beautiful music

!

mellody · #**467** 28th July 2011, 02:20 AM

Seems like the prediction about Kalafina will singing the OP or ED for Fate/Zero (Kajiura is working on the BGM) isn't true after all, but there's still no info about the tracklist yet.

I think they should promote this upcoming album better, since Magia is beating oblivious record in terms of sales, Kalafina is more popular than before I guess.

Chiharo · #**468** 28th July 2011, 08:43 PM

^yeah, and I have kind of higher expectations for this album to sell well. But we'll see.

So, I just wanted to stir the conversation in this thread seeing it's always getting forgotten. And to hell with it, we're getting a new album from them in 2 months. So why not talk a bit about their music?

You guys care to discuss which are your favorite/least favorite songs by them? I'm really curious to this. What about B-sides? Do you like them?

I'm asking this because I personally sometimes find them to be as good as actual A-sides. I love all of their B-sides but especially lirica, utsukushisa, Gloria, snow falling and sapphire. There's just something in those songs that I love to death and just keep them on repeat for hours. Even though I love all of their songs to death, my most favorite would be red moon, Hikari no Senritsu and Kagayaku Sora no Shijima ni wa (among other favorites).

So what about you? Anyone?

Midori-chan · #**469** 28th July 2011, 09:16 PM

^ Yes, it's so sad that there is not a lot going on in this thread, because I personally LOVE Kalafina.
I have only discovered them a few months ago, but since then I'm addicted to their music.

Mhm...my favourite song? This is very difficult, because I LOVE most of them SO much, but I have to say Lacrimosa. I fell in love with this song from the first moment on and I can't get it out of my head anymore.
Kalafina's music really makes me feel like I'm walking in a fairytale.

Some other favourite songs of mine are: "fairytale", "serenato", "storia", "ARIA", "Magia", "progressive" and "Hikari no Senritsu" (among others!)!

My favourite B-side is definitely "lirica"!

I'm also addicted to their PVs. Whenever I watch them stories start forming in the back of my mind and I just feel like sitting down and writing them all down!
And don't you dare asking me what my favourite MV is, because I LOVE them all and can't choose between them!!

Wahhhh~~
I'm so looking forward to their new album!

**milky_way** · #**470** 29th July 2011, 12:54 AM

My favorite songs: red moon, ARIA, Ongaku, progressive, storia
Favorite b-sides: sapphire, adore, Kimi ga Hikari ni Kaete Iku, lirica

There's only a couple of their songs that I don't care for

mellody · #**471** 29th July 2011, 02:42 AM

I love discussing that, keep this thread alive until the new one then

If you ask about my favorite song, it's really hard for me to choose, I even can't decide.
I guess I go with Hikari no Senritsu for most favorite song, because simply it's really different from any other Kajiura works. I've been a fan of Kajiura since 2002, so listening to Kalafina is really fresh and enjoyable.

Maybe the rest are...
red moon, sprinter, ARIA, oblivious, Yami no Uta, love come down, Magia, and so on.
Basically I love their A-sides, but I think I don't really like progressive, storia, and Lacrimosa that much.

Perfect B-side is snow falling, no doubt about it.
Most of their B-sides is great as well, lirica, serenato, sapphire, utsukushisa, Gloria, adore...

If Kalafina music made you feel like walking in a fairytale, then I think Kajiura is succeeded with this group, because it's her goal from the beginning

adantatu2 · #**472** 29th July 2011, 04:58 AM

Honestly i only hear their a-sides,
my favourites are Magia, Hikari no Senritsu and oblivious

*hearT_Place* · #**473** 29th July 2011, 05:03 AM

symphonia is getting a PV?! I think that just made my night!

Chiharo · #**474** 29th July 2011, 12:35 PM

Yeah, Kalafina definitely gives me the walking in fairytale feeling as well. Actually I've never listened to anything like them before, and Kajiura is also new for me because I only know about her because of Kalafina. And it's not just that fairytale feeling that I get from their songs, it's also because their songs are very emotional and just so damn beautiful. It really can't be put into words.

Oh and also, what do you guys think of the TV. ver of symphonia? I think it's absolutely beautiful and it kind of reminds me of adore in the chorus parts. I sooo can't wait fo the album.

On a side note, I wonder if Kagayaku's and Magia's PVs will be included in the album's DVD?

mellody · #**475** 29th July 2011, 09:00 PM

symphonia TV ver. is amazing, the full version should be much better.

I think we only get symphonia PV and Anime Expo live footage. Just like their two previous albums, no PV from the singles included.

Chiharo · #**476** 29th July 2011, 09:42 PM

^Oh, I see. That's too bad then but I don't mind that much ^^ I really can't wait to see how the covers are going to look like. Or for the tracklist.

I agree 100%

. They're music is just incredible.

I love basically all of their singles & their first album was a masterpiece. I loved Red Moon as well but it was not as good imo. I have really high hopes for after eden.

Haha~~
That's good then!

@Cherry: For me it's the other way around. I like "Red Moon" a bit more than "Seventh Heaven"!

But I still love both of the albums like crazy!

I can't wait for "After Eden"!

Chiharo · #**479** 29th July 2011, 11:43 PM

I love Red Moon more than Seventh Heaven as well. While I love all of the songs from both, I think what I like more about Red Moon is its theme and overall atmosphere of the album. Or it just might be I like Red Moon more because it's the first album I heard from them. But I think that both Seventh Heaven and Red Moon were incredible masterpieces. Definitely two of my most favorite albums ever.

I'm so glad I found out about them and gave them a listen. Their music changed my whole perspective of music generally.

Ranma Matsuri · #**480** 29th July 2011, 11:56 PM

I preferred Red Moon as it had more stand out tracks but I think Seventh Heaven was overall the more cohesive album (Not that RM didn't flow well but I think SH did it better). They're are both excellent though.

Favorite Singles would be: sprinter/ARIA, Hikari no Senritsu, storia, fairytale

Favorite Album Tracks: Red Moon, Love Come Down, Yami no Uta, Mata Kaze ga Tsuyoku natta, and Hoshi no Utai

Favorite B-sides: Gloria, snow falling, lirica

Oh and it's been a long time coming but since we're FINALLY approaching the end of the thread: I call dibs on making the second thread!
