Dream Port & Kara no Kyoukai & Kanako Itou…

Short post on those things.

  • Kanako Itou is doing the new BLASSREITER anime ending theme, “A Wish For The Star”, which will be out on August 6, 2008. (official site). She also has a TogaInu no Chi single coming out on July 16, 2008.
  • KingRecords has put up samples for Dream Port, the Revo&Yuki Kajiura collaboration single. The sample for “sand dream” is not yet visible on the site, but is accesible with a simple link alteration . Not particularly excited about this single (sounds like a lot of SH/Kajiura stuff, most importantly FJ KAORI “tsubasa” on main theme, and like some of My-Otome on the arrange) but whatever - Revo/Kajiura it is, worth a mention here. :P
  • In more exiting Kajiura news: Kalafina Note blog suggests a CD announcement for “ARIA” might be coming soon.
  • The 5th chapter for Kara no Kyoukai is apparently getting its theatrical release on July 26, 2008 (Seasons of Change).

Kalafina vocalists revealed & ARIA sample

The official Kalafina website got updated with the new Kara no Kyoukai ending theme sample & profiles for all the vocalists. The complete Kalafina line-up is (left-right in the pic) Wakana (FJ WAKANA), Keiko (FJ KEIKO), Maya and Hikaru.

As for the sample, I love it - you can tell from a mile away that it’s Kajiura, yet it sounds different & fresh since the new girl sounds nothing like vocalists she worked with before. So… even if I’m disappointed with the Dream Port single I have something I’m looking forward to - CD release when?

Kure-nai #6…

This episode, my friends, was simply EPIC. I love kure-nai. Matsuo Ko is easily my favorite director ATM.

Oyashirosama.com opens Umineko page

What’s this mean…? Is it just a general upcoming media announcement or anime foreshadowing… I mean, I wasn’t really expecting to see anything on Umineko on Oyashirosama.com…

About the theme...

  • Well, this is a tricky one! The code is based on fUnique by Fredrik, while the colors are based on Freedom Blue by Frank Helmschrott which is also based on fUnique. I couldn't convert Freedom Blue to a blogsome theme properly (worked in some browsers, while it didn't in others), so I recreated it from the source (and it seems to work in all browsers I tried).
