Kalafina to Reunite Without Yuki Kajiura for “Anniversary LIVE 2025”

Kalafina will reunite for “Anniversary LIVE 2025” on January 15, 2025, marking their first performance without their original producer, Yuki Kajiura. Fans can expect Wakana, Keiko, and Hikaru back on stage.

Kalafina fans can rejoice as the beloved group is set to reunite for “Kalafina Anniversary LIVE 2025,” scheduled for January 15, 2025, at the Tokyo Garden Theater. The concert will feature the original trio—Wakana, Keiko, and Hikaru—returning to the stage after a long hiatus. However, this performance marks a significant shift, as it will be the group’s first major event without their longtime producer and musical visionary, Yuki Kajiura.

Yuki Kajiura, who helped shape Kalafina’s signature sound, addressed fans’ concerns about her absence. She reassured that despite her departure, the group is free to perform their classic repertoire, and she fully supports the members’ decision to continue their musical journey. Kajiura expressed her hopes for a successful reunion, reflecting on the powerful legacy they’ve built together.

With ticket presales starting on October 10, 2024, for fan club members and general sales following in November, anticipation is high for this long-awaited reunion. Fans can expect an evening of nostalgia and new beginnings as Wakana, Keiko, and Hikaru bring Kalafina‘s music back to life, this time on their own.

This concert marks a pivotal moment for Kalafina, as they step forward without their original producer but with the same captivating harmonies that have defined their unique place in the J-pop world.
