Kalafina 10th Anniversary in Nippon Budokan
I should’ve written this like, last week. But you know, having to face real life so soon just washed out the urge out of my brain.
Not that I have that many things I wanna write either way because, honestly, I could barely remember the details. I’m that person who remembers either small, unnecessary details or the whole, bigger picture. And I was waaaaaaay too immersed in the sensation at that moment that it was really hard to process. The fact that my seat was so close to the center of the stage didn’t help either.
Tumblr media
I started shedding tears before the concert was even started and I totally burst into tears when they appeared on-stage. Like, “ah this is real. I’m in a Kalafina concert.”
I was mesmerized by how beautiful they looked.
By how fierce, yet fragile Hikaru acted.
By how wild and powerful Keiko performed.
By how confident and fun Wakana had become.
It was like my whole Kalafina fangirl life flashing in front of me, seeing how they grew from a mere singer to a performer. They returned to their roots for this concert, and I appreciated that a lot.
I knew it was not a perfect performance of them, but I could feel their emotion in the performance. They conveyed it so well that I couldn’t help but sobbed through a few of the songs.
And the dam of tears was broken when “into the world” started. That song held a lot of meanings for me. Helping me through times I felt like giving up on everything.
I felt like I made a short connection with Hikaru when (I wanna believe) she nodded at my direction, looking at me sobbing hard. It was such a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
By the time the concert ended, I felt so empty. I want to see more of Kalafina. I don’t want this nice dream to end.
Tumblr media
The trip itself had so many of my first.
First time going on a trip to Japan.
First time funding myself for a trip.
First time going on an overseas trip on my own.
First time meeting a long time friend I only knew from behind the screen before.
First time experiencing snow (which wasn’t really fun)
Tumblr media
First time having a blast in karaoke session with fellow Kalafina fans.
First time watching a Kalafina concert.
I’m so thankful that I have this lifetime opportunity. Perhaps this means that I’m running out of my lifetime luck, but I don’t mind.
See you in Japan next time.
A word of gratitude for: that one RL friend who helped me with all the ticket stuffs. And then one of my closest internet buddies for being such a caring person. @audiojapanstyle for helping me with AirBnb and other stuffs in Japan. What would I do without you. Also @putschki1969 for the Kalafina fan meetup. Without it I wouldn’t have met @chibalein, @okeuphemia, and other Kalafina fans on tumblr and had one of the best karaoke session in my life. Thank you so much.

It's late and I only have a phone so all I'll say is it was fucking beautiful, the girls sounded great, holy shit Serenato/Kantankatan/lirica/Yane no Mukou ni/Kimi ga Hikari ni Kaete Iku/Alleluia/ARIA/Sprinter/Symphonia all performed and I spent too much money on merch and a lot of the concert unable to see through my own tears. Also have this megidolaon-cute pic from the 10th Anni book.

Dear Sarah, Have you ever been to KALAFINA live? Unfortunately, I have never been to Japan itself :(
Tumblr media
Hello there lovely anon!
Yes, I have but not as often as I would have liked to unfortunately. The first time I saw them in person was back in 2012 when they were a guest act at Animagic in Germany. I never considered it a “Kalafina Live” experience but it was fun nonetheless. In 2014, Kalafina appeared at another convention in Europe (Japan Expo) so obviously, I was there for that as well. Yet again, it wasn’t a proper live experience for me but it was neat.
I attended my first REAL live in Japan in early 2016 (FOTW Special Final Day 1&2) and it was honestly a life-changing moment for me. Nothing compares to seeing them live in a proper show and not just as a short gig. I wish I had gotten the opportunity to go to any of their 2017 events/lives but that year was really busy for me since I had just started a new job. Truth is, it is one of my biggest regrets in life. if I had known it would basically be their final year of activities, I would have found a way to make it work.
At least I made it to their 10th Anniversary Live in 2018, I am forever grateful for that experience and will treasure it until the day I die. 
Their disbandment was a real wake-up call for me. I didn’t want to have any further regrets so from that moment onwards, I swore to myself that I would attend as many of their solo lives as possible. Thankfully, that new job I had gotten in 2017 gave me the financial stability to be able to travel on a more or less regular basis. As a result, I went to quite a few lives in 2018 and 2019 but then the pandemic happened and I was once again stuck here without a way to see them live *sobs* I am just glad that live stream options are a thing now, they have been a real game changer. But as much as I appreciate those streams, it’s just not the same as actually being there at the venue.
I still can’t believe that I will be seeing Wakana live in Japan this Christmas. It came at a very high price but I just couldn’t wait any longer.
I hope you will be able to travel to Japan soon. I have faith that Kalafina will return one day so let’s all be sure to work hard so when that day finally comes, we will be ready for it!
Also, here is a link to my live report tag in case anyone is interested.

Kalafina 10th Anniversary LIVE 2018 at Nippon Budokan 1080p by  Anime Melancholy
More good music for background/productivity, especially for the early daylight part of an all-nighter. 
Just thinking about how I love Kajiura Yuki’s music and her bands (Kalafina, Fiction Junction, See Saw, etc.) because the tone is so haunting and melancholy but also hopeful, and how different their music sounds.  Then Kalafina introduced their band members, giving several musicians time for short solos: pianist, flutist, accordion player, violinist, etc.  I remembered Sideways saying something about how most band music hasn’t changed for a long time because it’s mostly just “drummer, guitarists, vocalist” combos.  Kalafina sounds so different and I love it. *.*

Super Late Kalafina 10th Anniversary Live Report!
This was my first Kala live ever, basically a dream come true and I couldn't contain my happiness and nervousness! (Special thanks to @putschki1969 for all her tutorials, this wouldn't have been possible for me without her!) I arrived at the venue around 3 pm (3 hrs before the live, 1 hr after the goods sale has started), and my god, THAT QUEUE!! I've never seen such a queue in my entire life.. at this point I wondered if I could make it on time.. but I queued anyway, and I ended up buying for some of my friends too. Anyway, my turn finally came and it was 6:15 pm.. I freaked out and the fact that most of the things I wanted was sold out already did not help at all lol, so I ended up pointing at stuff to the salesperson like a maniac and my hands were shaking when i tried to get out my money xD Now less than 10 mins are left!! I ran to the first floor and thankfully some staff guided me to my seat. The view was great and my seat was the first in the line so there were just stairs to my right, meaning I had extra space to jump around. The lights started dimming, music started playing, and I started shaking xD The girls came up on stage on a platform and I clapped and screamed like a maniac. Now to the actual concert: 01.ring your bell: Hikaru and Keiko started out okay, Wakana joined and was flat AF xD I was like noooo Wakana please don't continue like this, and thankfully she adjusted and became perfect. Wakana actually sounded so good I was quite surprised, and her 2nd high "beeeeeell" sounded great and perfectly pitched, much better than their other live releases. I don't like this song, but was a good warm up for them I guess.. 02.未来: Almost everyone in the venue stood up and got excited for this. 03.lirica: This was extremely unexpected for me, I remember dropping my jaw when Keiko announced it in the MC, and I also remember hearing ppl around me saying huuuh in surprise.. My god, was this a perfect performance in every way.. Wakana was pitch-perfect and sounded SO GOOD in her verses!!! Keiko harmonized perfectly too, and Wakana's high chorus was great too, and Hikaru's harmonization was so good. Now to the Kajiurago bridge.. KEIKO KILLED IT!!! Was so deep and filled Budokan!! I really wanted to jump/scream/clap after her solo, but wouldn't be appropriate for this kind of song lol. Great great great performance. Bonus thoughts: The strings in the verses were great, and it was so fun to look at the band picking their strings in this part! I hope they show some footage of them in the release! 04.満天: YES!! MANTEN!! was a nice follow-up to Lirica. Wakana sounded great (at this point I realised that Wakana will dominate this live) Hikaru was fine. Keiko was good in her solo, but I really miss the way she used to sing it in 2012-2013 with some vibrato to "deshoooou", but it sounded good anyway. 05.屋根の向こうに: I have only heard this song once or twice in my life lol, was quite surprised to see it make an appearance! I didn't know it was popular at all! 06.光の旋律: I know this song is overplayed, but I really enjoy it, and was happy to see it. Hikaru was good in her verses, much like 9+one. Wakana was great, Keiko was great too (but kinda loud and screaming at times) and her solo was good also. Hikaru's high harmonies were great (a few flats here and there, so those of you who think that her high harmonies in this song are always playback, they are NOT playback). Bonus thoughts: The flute was so good, I'm so happy that Akagi-san was there, 07.storia: Eh.. I don't like this song, but they were good. 08.夏の林檎: WHAT?!!! NATSU NO RINGO?!?! At this point I wondered if this was real xD Too many surprise appearances so far!! And they performed it the way they did in Red Day, with Wakana and Hikaru switching parts. 09.serenato: So.. the accordion started.. and I definitely realised it was Serenato (there were minor hints in the solo). I KNEW they'd perform this! My happiness could not be contained!! THAT PERCUSSION THO!! They started with their kajiurago, THEY ALL KILLED IT!! Hikaru sang using her falsetto, and it was on point, provided a more calming atmosphere to the song than her old regular voice singing (tho way less fierce). Wakana was on fiiiiiirrrrrreeeeeeeeee!! It was obvious that she was enjoying this song!! Keiko was great in her harmonies, and Hikaru as well. I REALLY can't wait for the live release!! 10.ARIA: Oh shit.. The moment of truth.. My heart started pounding so hard..  This is one of my absolute fav songs and I have a strong emotional connection to it! The song started in a lower key, as expected (one key lower). Hikaru started singing.. HER VERSES WERE SO GOOD!! The lower key really suits the song and makes it sound way more tragic, sad and lonely. She sang in a very very very sad and broken way, and you can actually see all those feelings in her face :( Wakana and Keiko were also great with their harmonies. Wakana sang her chorus lines beautifully. Solid performance overall, my favorite ARIA ever. Bonus thoughts: I really love this new ARIA, and prefer Hikaru's way of singing here and this key over the old one, it suits the lyrics way more, It brought tears to my eyes and made me cry like a baby. The cello was more present, and really added to the song’s atmosphere. Percussion was very very very good, it's good to finally see this song with percussion!! 11.sprinter: wait what Sprinter NOW this early in the setlist why xD?!?! Hikaru did good (I especially LOVE how she sang the “Kaze ni..” verse. Keiko was on point, a bit loud at times tho. Wakana was great. 12.oblivious: Of course, wouldn't be an anniversary live without it. Hikaru started in falsetto (like 9+one), she was so good. Wakana and Keiko were great, and their "itsuka kimi to.." part was very emotional. Solid performance. 13.傷跡: Another surprise appearance!! Was a great performance by all three, Hikaru was great with her high harmonies, Wakana and Keiko also great with their solos and harmonies. This live can't get any better; I thought to myself. 14.君が光に変えて行く: YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!! MY FAV SONG UGH SOMEONE HELP I CAN'T!! But then.. Keiko sings with her cutesy voice. Someone needs to tell Keiko to stop using that voice forever, please. Wakana DELIVERED!! Aaaaah Wakana was so good!! :(((  Hikaru’s harmonies were on point. Great performance EXCEPT WHEN KEIKO WAS USING THAT CUTESY VOICE. Sorry I'm still mad about it and can't get over it. 15.カンタンカタン: This is too much, at this point I got overwhelmed by the amount of good songs in this live. Wakana sounded MUCH BETTER than the studio version!! Hikaru's solo was nice. Keiko AGAIN used her fake cutesy voice for her solo :((( to me, that's basically the highlight of the song, so I was very disappointed, even though she hit her notes perfectly. I know in the studio version there are hints of cutesy in her solo, but it didn't matter much. Anyway, solid performance overall and Wakana sounded kinda more sad. 16.symphonia: Not a fan of this song, didn't pay much attention. 17.red moon: YeeeeY finally a song I voted for! I was so excited and scared at the same time, cuz their last performance of this song (arena) was so dead. Hikaru and Keiko's kajiurago start was perfect, Wakana started singing and.. was kinda lacking energy.. Keiko's harmonising was SO GOOD throughout the whole song. Hikaru sounded kinda tired but was doing her best. Keiko's final solo was great and gave me goosebumps. Wakana's delivery lacked energy overall, but she hit all her highs and lows perfectly. 18.adore: What? Is this AE Live xD? Was a nice performance overall. 19.to the beginning: I like this song, I know it's overplayed but it was my introduction to Kalafina, so it has a special place in my heart. Was a solid performance for such a hard song.
20.progressive: I also knew this would be performed, the stage got lit in rainbow colors, was so cool. A solid performance by all three! Hikaru was able to perform this song and did so well! I enjoyed this performance. 21.音楽: Of course, wouldn't be a Kalafina Live without Ongaku xD Was a nice performance with a MAJOR WaKei moment <3333 Keiko ran to Wakana right before her solo and jumped on her and hugged her so hard xD was super cute!! All 3 were great, and my god this is my fav Wakana-Ongaku ever!! Her solo WAS SO GOOD! The band introductions this time were nice, not as boring as they were before.
 Bonus thoughts: Wakana was REALLY having fun, dancing so hard and jumping around.. I've never seen her this excited before.
22.heavenly blue:  A solid performance. 23.into the world: I can't get myself to like this song. Solid performance by all three tho. 24.君の銀の庭 Accordion solo ver. ~ nightmare ballet (inst): I'm sorry but I took this chance to run to the restroom xD (sorry if this sounded disrespectful but I REALLY had to go :’(  25.ひかりふる: Started with a piano solo, and the girls came in with wedding dresses.. I was like WTF why the wedding dresses xD they were nice anyway and fit the song. The song started with just Wakana and the piano.. was absolutely wonderful and breathtaking :(((( they all sounded more emotional! The drums and the whole band kicked in together right before Hikaru's "hakanasugite.."!! WAS SO GOOD!! Major goosebumps! Keiko's "mabushii asaaaaaaaa.." was great, but I think she held it longer in the Arena Live. Beautiful beautiful performance. 26.百火撩乱: So Akagi-san came, and started playing a flute solo, very Japanese-sounding, so I knew what the next song would be. The girls started taking off some parts of their wedding dresses to reveal their "real dresses" under lol. I still laugh at how Hikaru was throwing away her wedding dress like a piece of trash xD Anyway, the instrumental part started, and the stage was illuminated in red. Keiko started her lines (Wakana didn't harmonise "yume wo miteeeeee"), Keiko was nice.. but I prefer how she sang in the studio version :/ I don't know how to explain it, but in the studio version, she sang like "naitaaa, omottaaa, kittooo, yoru nooo", but here in this live she ended them very abruptly and suddenly, like "naiTa, omoTTa, kiTTo, yoru No". In other words, the last syllables of those words were 3 three times shorter than the studio version, and that annoyed me so much, made the verses sound less powerful. (I hope someone actually understood what I meant xD). Hikaru sounded nice. Wakana, sang wonderfully, and took less breaths in the chorus, which sounded better for the song. Keiko's "yaibaaaaa" was much better and longer than the studio version. (Forgive my super picky and detailed review of this performance, but HR one of my favs and I spent a long time to cover this song so I know pretty much everything about this song in detail.) Bonus thoughts: The flute was super good. 27.アレルヤ: A perfect ending song to the concert. Was a very emotional performance, and all three delivered beautifully, and the WaHi harmonies were great this time. I also like Hikaru in this song. Keiko really did sing well here too. My fav Alleliua performance ever. So the concert ended, and the girls looked super duper emotional and moved, Wakana cried in her speech, Keiko took a few deep breaths before her speech and spoke with a super shaky voice then turned her face away and cried, Hikaru was smiling and waving to the audience section by section. Overall, a very solid concert, I am so happy I got to experience such a concert, solid setlist, solid performance, and more songs than usual. Highlights: ARIA, Serenato, Lirica, KantanKatan, Kimi ga, Natsu no Ringo. General Notes: - For such an event, I expected way more in terms of stage production and crowd involvement, but oh well they made up for that with the extra squeezed in songs. - Wakana was on fire pretty much the whole concert, she literally dominated, and was having a good time and dancing around and having fun. I really couldn't take my eyes off her. I hope they show more of her in the live release. - Keiko was great too, she harmonised perfectly and delivered her solo lines greatly (except for when she used her FAKE CUTESY voice). Was sometimes screaming and singing loudly tho. - Hikaru sounded good on some songs and tired on some, but you could definitely see that she was doing her best. (It was really cold that day and I’m almost sure she had a cold) - The first dresses were nice, though Wakana's dress was my personal favorite, it looked much much much much much better in real life than in pics, it was sparkly and elegant, it fit her perfectly. Keiko's dress was okay, nothing special in my opinion but the colors were super nice, reminded me of their 2014 tour dresses. Hikaru's dress was very very nice, but I didn’t like the baggy sleeve, would've looked much better if it was fitted. - I don't know what to think of the wedding dresses, a part of me likes them and the other part thinks they're over the top and unnecessary. They made more sense when they took them off, Wakana looked so weird though with her long skirt lol, the other two were very nice. - I was sure they'd play Marchen in its REAL version with the flute this time, but nope I was wrong. I'm too disappointed, I really wanted to see it live and it's a recent song and has only been performed in one tour while INTO THE WORLD has been performed way more. Also no Magia or Destination Unknown made me sad, I really wanted to see Hikaru sing them live :( - Budokan is such a beautiful venue inside-out! I imagined it to be MUCH MUCH bigger inside but it turned out to be way smaller than I imagined xD. - The percussion added A LOT of depths to some songs! Percussion should really be a staple in their tours.

So, I’m finally home and rested, so I guess I’d better put up my report. Kalafina’s 10th Anniversary Live was fucking amazing. End of report.
OK I’ll add more. I was worried for ages beforehand because a) I didn’t have my ticket until the day itself where I had to find a specific person in amongst everyone else at Budokan, and b) I was travelling back from Kyoto during the snowpocalypse. Thankfully I managed to make it back to Tokyo and managed to get to the Kalaoke meet, and didn’t have many issues at all getting my tickets off of my friend. And then another friend got some extra tickets, so I ended up getting a better place than I initially expected. Also the Budokan is smaller than I was expecting, so I wasn’t even that far away after all. That and I had binoculars for seeing stuff better. All in all things turned out nicely.
Merch took ages to get to, but luckily nothing was sold out when I got there. Got everything I was intending to get plus a couple bits for a friend who couldn’t attend.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Worth noting that as with the 9+ONE Acoustic Tour, they were offering the 9+ONE BD promo posters if you spent enough on CDs at the live, so I finally got copies of the post-FotW singles and the poster. For whatever reason I was being a fucking idiot beforehand and was thinking about not bothering with the Harmony hoodie, but eventually decided to get it and I love it so I’m glad I did in the end.
Anyway yes, onto the live. As other people have said, there wasn’t much in the way of theatrics and no announcements, which is kind of odd, but I guess they were probably trying to go for the nostalgia angle and focus on simply singing like they did in the early years of their career, plus I guess they’re saving the announcements for the 10th Anniversary Film that they were heavily advertising and we already know will be including stuff about the future of Kalafina. Talking of focusing on singing, they sang a lot. And they did it with absolute fucking beauty. Wakana sounded straight up heavenly for the whole live, like holy shit this woman was killing it the whole way through. Keiko was simply Keiko, she’s always been wonderful and that didn’t change here (dat lirica Kajiurago especially) and Hikaru sounded pretty damn fantastic throughout as well, plus dat Oblivious falsetto was amazing. They really put their all into this performance and it showed. I mean I fucking adore these girls and have for years, but their performance here just made my love for them skyrocket even further.
As for the setlist, it started out pretty bad as I don’t like Mirai and I’m pretty nonchalant about RYB, but I guess it works alright for a warmup to get them into the swing of things for the good stuff. And holy shit was there a lot of good stuff. lirica, Yane no Mukou ni, SERENATO, KANTANKATAN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ORIGINAL FORM, all of the best KnK themes especially goddamn KIMI GA HIKARI, red moon at last (still upset it wasn’t played in FotW, now I’m satisfied), Symphonia, plus a bunch of other stuff which is also pretty great. If only they’d switched Mirai for Sandpiper and Heavenly Blue for Mata Kaze, it might’ve been as close to a perfect setlist as they’re ever likely to do. Even as it is, it was incredible and still likely one of the best sets of songs they’ve performed and I’m so goddamn happy that I was there to experience it. Plus hey it’s the 10th Anniversary, I was gonna make goddamn fucking sure I was going to be there for such an important milestone in their career, or I would’ve had to go hide in a cave in shame or something. 
Also I cried a bit for lirica, Yane no Mukou ni, Hikari Furu, ARIA, sprinter and Alleluia, and literally the whole of Kimi ga Hikari, serenato and Kantankatan.
So yeah, grand job Hikaru, Keiko, Wakana, Konno (and his quartet), Jr, Sakurada, Sato, Korenaga, Rie, Nakajima, Oohira and whoever the poor accordionist was who didn’t really get to perform, but was worth having just to make serenato even better than the godly piece of music it already was. I fucking love you all and this day will be one of my very best memories for the rest of my life.
