[20260602] KEIKO Insta Live #111 WITHOUT comments

OMG, this was one of her longest but also absolute BEST Instagram Lives ever! Loved every second of it. Couldn't watch it live unfortunately since I was quite busy yesterday afternoon but I had a ton of fun watching my recording. I was in heaven when she talked about all her new (and old) make-up products. There's so much stuff I need to add to my list of Kalafina Must-Haves XD It was also super interesting when she talked about all her designer bags and accessories. So cute how she wants to keep everything in perfect shape so she can one day give everything to her niece. I think everyone had to laugh when Keiko revealed that she carries pretty much all of her belongings in simple ziploc bags because it is much more convenient than pouches or having everything just scattered in the bag. it's a great way to keep her high-end bag in order.

Then we got some pretty substantial teasers for a total of three new songs!! Keiko is honestly spoiling us. She hasn't really practiced any of these songs a lot since they are pretty new. She is also currently too busy rehearsing for her upcoming Planetarium Live so there haven't been many opportunities to play the new songs. She doesn't plan to perform them right away since they still need to be polished but we'll surely get to hear proper versions at future events. You can see her struggle quite a bit with some of the chords (and it visibly frustrates her) but she is definitely doing her best, especially with the second song. Towards the end of the live she was so focused on getting everything right that she forgot about the audience for a while :P.

The first song sounds SO GOOD! I understand why Keiko would call it a "god-tier song" XD! Already absolutely in love with the chorus😍. Gorgeous melody! The second song is very sweet and precious. For this one, she explicitly states that it was made in Taiwan, they even tried to incorporate some melody lines that are reminiscent of Taiwan. She refers to the song as "Bokutachi no Uta = Our Song". And she looks so freaking proud (rightfully so!) of what they have created! These songs really are her babies. The last song seems to be troubling her but what we are getting so far sounds pretty neat. Will have hear more though. Not quite sold yet.

For a while there during her practice, Keiko gets really deep and talks about how things are only slowly making progress with her new music because everyone involved is paying a lot of attention to detail. They wanna get everything right, not rush anything. Keiko has very high standards so she wouldn't wanna take any shortcuts. But that means that we will have to me patient a lot longer. There's no deadline or scheduled release date, they are working at their own pace and only when Keiko feels like it's ready to be properly out in the world, there will be a release date.

Finally a new Instagram Live. It's been a while. Keiko was at the studio, rehearsing for her upcoming Planetarium Live. She is at the rehearsal stage where she is trying to play in a dark room, simulating the darkness at the venue.

Thank You, ”my music box”‼︎〜Let's Meet on Friday♡〜

Last Saturday on the 23rd, I held my concert, "Wakana Live 2026 ~my music box~"!! ＼＼\٩( 'ω' )و //／／

Today, I'd like to look back on the event with lots of photos taken by photographer Okawa-san📸! 🥳🎉We had lots of fun during the member introductions" were fun too!

During the 2nd Stage, I accidentally addressed my guitarist Fukuhara Reon by his father's name (Fukuhara Masanobu)…!! 😂) Reon-kun was kind enough to excuse my little mistake and told me that the mix-up was understandable😂

Next, I was very interested in the percussion instruments of Yamashita Asuka-chan!! Here she introduces her favourite instrument ♪ And here we have the instrument that created those lovely sounds of water used for the Mizu no Akashi performance during the 2nd stage. It was a basin filled with water, and she was using this round, coconut-like, helmet-like thingy (sorry, can't remember what it was called) to scoop up the water and make the sound…! ! 😆

And then there's our bandmaster, Hori Kuraaki! Kuraaki is always so reliable! He has a kind of teacher-like feel to him. He's very good at talking and explaining things. And he is super tough, he was actually working in Korea until the day before!

For the encore, I wore a denim dress~♡

Finally, I was able to introduce everyone to my manipulator, Oliver! He's also a martial artist, so it's no wonder he looks strong…!! 😂 Everyone's smiles after the show were so lovely, it's one of my favourite photos! 🥰

All photos were taken by Shinji Okawa. He always takes photos at my live shows, you have probably seen him take photos at the after-event for my December Classics Concerts♪📸)

Thank you so much to everyone who came! 🥰I'll also use the opportunity to post the setlists for the two stages!! ︎＼＼\٩( 'ω' )و //／／

2026/05/31 Blog post by Wakana 5月最後の日‼︎〜配信とシャークとコレクション〜

Last Day of May‼︎〜Live Stream & Sharks & Collections〜

Last Friday, I held an exclusive live stream event for all Botanical Land members, '🦈Premium After "Shark" Event🦈 ~More!! My Music Box~'!! ＼＼\\٩( 'ω' )و //／／ There were more shark plushies than usual 🦈🦈🦈🦈 So fluffy 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈The Sumikko Gurashi shark series is super cute even from behind. So chubby.

Here's a look at the game we played. There is actually another game aside from the one we played during the stream, and apparently playing both makes it even more difficult!! (I've fallen in love with this game 🌿)

The event included behind-the-scenes stories from the live shows, conversations with guests, game segments, and a lot more… a full two-hour-plus event! I always feel like this, but time really flies by! 😳 When I'm reading everyone's comments and answering questions, I completely lose track of time! ＼(^o^)／ Thank you to everyone who joined the live stream!! 🥰 This live stream archive will be available until June 14th (Sun) so be sure to check it out 🥳 Please experience the memories of that live performance "even more!!" ＼＼\\٩( 'ω' )و //／／

Hello, this is Wakana (0￣▽￣0)／

I love Instagram Lives where I can talk freely without a script, but I also love live streaming events that are packed with lots of fun ideas!! *･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

Well everyone! May ends today!!! Whoaaaaaa (￣◇￣;) But the world is already experiencing summer-like temperatures, making me wonder if we've skipped the rainy season and are already in summer? Well, summer will probably be much hotter than this 😇 Right now it's still somewhat dry and the breeze feels nice and cool. Summer is all hot winds, after all. Anyway, please let me remind you again about the talk theme for next month's "Wakana's Talk Garden"! The next topic is: "Tell me what you collect, or what you used to collect!" For example, "I collect plates by my favourite artist!" or "I collect stuffed animals in a series!" Or maybe you like collecting stickers you can get at shopping streets! Or you collect commemorative medals from past events! Or stamp rallies! Or cute stationery... and so on! ! Please tell me what you're collecting, or have collected! 😊💕 The deadline is today, May 31st (Sun)! ! ! Submit your message here! ↓↓↓

http://wakana-fc.jp/answers/botanical_oshaberi_33/new

I've become a collector myself with all the Ghibli and shark goods you've given me! ! 😂 Thank you everyone ♡

That's all for today! ! Until next time! ☆( *'▽'*)/

mon dieu i'm gonna expire

i have expired. i am actually typing this from the great beyond

♪ Flag ♪ “Memento Mori 1st Live ~The Singing of Laments~”

What a total surprise! I did not expect them to stream a recording of last year's "Memento Mori Live" on Youtube today. You may recall that last October, Wakana appeared at the first music event for the smartphone and PC RPG “Memento Mori,” for which she contributed Florence’s “Lament” (= character-original theme song) titled “Flag”! A large number of artists performed their “Lament” accompanied by an orchestra. I had no idea the concert was recorded so it was all the more surprising to get all this amazing footage today. Such an epic performance!! You can watch the entire concert on the Memento Mori Official Youtube Channel. Wakana's performance starts around the 14:00 minute mark.

【Chiba-Inage】 Solo Food Tour

Hello, this is Hikaru. Thank you for watching! This time, I am posting a food tour video I made in Inage 😋 It's fun to discover new and delicious food in places I've never been before ♪ If you have any recommendations, please let me know in the comments 🍀

Hikaru went there because it's the location of the first concert of her upcoming live tour 『Hikaru LIVE TOUR 2026 -ROUND-』. Keiko shared a lovely two-shot in her Instagram story to wish Hikaru all the best for the start of her tour. The photo was taken back on May 19th when they had a little get-together after Keiko had returned from her Taiwan trip.

Hi there!

I am sorry if anything I posted might have misled you to believe that we'll be seeing footage of the concert during the live stream. I am afraid that is not the case at all. Wakana will be holding one of her usual "After Talk Events" where she gets to share some of her thoughts that went into the production of the live and we as the audience get to share our impressions. Just a casual get-together. Of course that doesn't mean that it won't be worth watching it. I encourage everyone to get a ticket and participate because it's surely gonna be a fun event, even for those who couldn't attend the live.

‖ Event Details 『Wakana Live 2026 〜my music box〜Premium After Talk Event』 Date: May 29, 2026 (Fri) Archive period: ~June 14th Time: 19:00~ Performer: Wakana Info page

‖ Ticket Purchasing Period 05/25 (Mon) 15:00～06/14 (Sun) 23:59

‖ Ticket Price ¥2,000 (+ fees)

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend the live. Believe me, I would have mentioned it already if I had been there. These days I am missing quite a lot of events because I really can't justify travelling to Japan THAT often. It takes so much time, money and effort, I have to choose wisely. But as always, I really regret not being there for all of their events and lives. The setlists for Wakana's two shows were amazing so I would have loved to see that.
