Update: Now with tracklisting. Shikata is actually singing on most of the tracks - even those she did not compose (3 and 5). :)

Finally! The full version of the opening song for “Umineko no Naku Koro ni” is getting released on August 15, 2008 (which is the first day of Comiket 74). More info on Akiko Shikata’s site here. Gotta run now…

「うみねこのなく頃に 」 Umineko no Naku Koro ni   Akiko Shikata 2008.08.15 : KNIL-0003 (Comiket 74 release) 2008.08.29 : KNIL-0003 (wide(r) release)

There’s more after the jump~

*I really should proofread better.* Theme for the 4th Kara no Kyoukai chapter. With love to Chib, Chi, Eej & Timbo. There’s more after the jump~

*Fixed post* Theme for the 5th Kara no Kyoukai chapter. With love to Chib, Chi & Suzu. If you spot any errors, do point them out in the comments. There’s more after the jump~

So I dunno where it got there from, but the full sprinter PV is on youtube as pointed out by elcazador from canta-per-me forums. Watch here.

On official site. Wow. Opens Aug 16, from what I can tell.

Couldn’t find the lyrics on google so I typed them out myself. From WINTER MIX 5. There’s more after the jump~

A soothing new song from Kanako Itou. If you spot any errors do point them out in the comments, thanks. There’s more after the jump~

LOL EPISODE.

Nevermind the nonexistant budget… SLAYERS IS BACK AND NOT WORSE THAN EXPECTED, but with a sucky OP this time. Xellos was only in the OP unfortunately and Pokota had a last minute debut. Can’t wait ep2.

NO BUST.

The official Kalafina website got updated with the new sprinter/ARIA photoshoot pics. Wakana looks great in every one. Keiko looks good in the solo pic (and dead in the covers - why’s she looking in a different direction than the 3 other girls?). Maya still looks like a female TM-kun.

The special section also includes a TVCM for the single, which uses a part of the sprinter PV.
