Though set up as a unit for the theme song project to the theatrical anime Kara no Kyokai, since their debut in January 2008 with “Oblivious,” all of Kalafina’s original albums released have made it onto the top 10 of the Oricon weekly chart. The group has established a position for themselves as being loved across generations. In spite of having their first shows at the Budokan in February 2015, both shows sold out on the same day. That fall the group held their largest country-wide tour that brought out 40,000 fans including the overseas performances in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Mexico. The final show of their tour in May 2016 was held in Shanghai. The group held solo performances over two days and were the first Japanese artists to be invited to the government-sponsored event Shanghai Spring International Music Festival. Already the world is taking notice of their talent.
And now Kalafina have confirmed a long-awaited arena tour to be held this September in Tokyo and Kobe. A special homepage for the arena tour, said to be the mark of a true live artist, is also now open and is generating buzz.
