Since Kalafina's disbandment, all three have at some point collaborated with Kajiura again under Kajiura's FictionJunction music project.


Correction: While KEIKO continued to be part of FictionJunction, and Hikaru started appearing in her lives as a guest vocalist occasionally, recently even filling for Kaori's absence because she's pregnant. Wakana has not been involved with Kajiura at all, in fact, at least publicly, Wakana hadn't been involved with any of them up until now.

Kajiura's message sounded very disappointed and sad, honestly. This isn't "Kalafina". It can't be "Kalafina" without Kajiura.

Just a nit: Kajiura isn't a "former composer." She just isn't Kalafina's composer anymore. (I think the agency owns the name.)

In this article, "Trio's founder, former composer" means that Kajiura is the former composer of Kalafina, not a former composer in general.

I agree if they perform a bunch of new music that she didn't write, but if they're just getting together to perform their hits, Kajiura's absence doesn't affect anything.

Reunion concert is glorious but it is a shame nobody contacted Kajiura... Even just a "Hey, need that VIP pass?"

Ah, I've always wanted to see Kalafina but we accept some things in life aren't meant to be.

If they want to, they should just form their own group

They don't need anyone's permission to form their own group, and if they want to include their former composer in it, then who's to stop them

Is this like a label dispute thing? It seems weird that Kajiura would tweet like that when there’s (seemingly) no bad blood between her and the members.
