We hope to see you all at our solo concert at the Nippon Budokan!!
Q. Lastly, could you share what your plans are from here on? And if possible, a message for all the Kalafina fans throughout the world.
Wakana：2We’ll be holding at two-day concert at the Nippon Budokan on February 28th and March 1st 2015, and following a similar concept to our best of albums, THE BEST “Red” and THE BEST “Blue,” our concert “Kalafina LIVE THE BEST 2015” will feature both a “Red Day” and a “Blue Day,” so I hope that fans from around the world come to see it. I want to see the people of Fukuoka there too, so in the meantime, have a listen to our two best of albums and find out a little bit more about Kalafina.
Keiko：After we put out these best of albums, it really hit home to me just how broad a range of genres we’ve been singing in. There’s a song that’s bound to get through to everyone, so I hope that people from countries around the world and people from all different regions pick up these two albums and have a listen. Thank you.
Hikaru：We occasionally get the opportunity to perform live in various places around the world, but there are still so many places we haven’t been to yet and hopefully with the release of our best of albums we’ll get more opportunities to take our music directly to the people of those places from here on. Thank you for your time today.
