Is this a record label site?

Can't figure why they'd be announcing date ranges with no locations?
Unless my translator is off doesn't even say they're coming to Japan.

Currently listed as a "project".

Kajimoto was already involved in some of the previous Libera tours in Japan, it's not a surprise to see them still in connection with Libera.


As John pointed it, the page is on the "projects" section of the Kajimoto site.
The project can be confirmed, or abandoned, we can't know now, but it's interesting to see that there's precise dates used for the reflections. The project is not just a vague idea, it seems to be already based on concrete elements.

25/07 to 03/08, it's only 10 days of time.
The last long Summer tours (2010 and 2011) were more 20 days long than 10.
So if this 2014 project in Japan confirms itself with the current dates, they will probably go also elsewhere for 10 another days after Japan.
Perhaps to another Asian Country ? China would be so cool
Or perhaps like they did in April 2009 they can jump from Japan to the US ?


Although this "project" page can't bring us anything usable now, it's an interesting information to know.
I would love to go back to Japan, I was delighted by my stay in Tokyo in 2012

It's interesting news but knowing how Libera plans chop and change I'm not planning a trip just yet.

When I saw the tour dates mentioned as 25th July I was suspicious because that was midweek and I didn't think the school term would have finished at that point, but I just looked up the school holiday dates for Croydon and guess what? They break up for the summer term on the 24th so it fits!

Holiday dates

I confirmed with Libera that Kajimoto's post has been posted in error. No commitment has been made.

Thanks Lauren.
I'm thinking about setting up a price alert for Tokyo anyway. Presumably a Japanese tour would be
funded by an outside group (Kajimoto?) and might be hard to pass up. Maybe finding the funding
is the project for Kajimoto.

No plans for Japan next year, but I would like to visit the USA.

Hmm, lets hope for a USA tour.

That would be great but i just dont think the funding is there. Japan and tours out that way are always funded and also sell out and they make money. And after this summer and no tour maybe they want to plan ahead so things dont go tits up .

Hope's a good thing to hold onto...

Tour plans for 2014 and beyond include performances in the United States and Japan.

I think Japan looks very likely now http://www.kajimotomusic.com/info/img/2 ... libera.pdf

Usual disclaimer; nothing is official until announced by Libera themselves.

Good find Jimmy. The trip to the USA does not surprise me in the least - you have to strike while the iron is hot, so to cash in next summer after the airing on PBS of the Christmas concert always made sense. Japan at Easter (with a side trip to another Asian country?) and then summer holiday to the States. All fits very nicely.

Then they will pass the international date line again ^^ But no double holidays, unfortunately.. Hope that another Eastern Asia Country will be Korea :::)))

The Kajimoto's post has been removed from their 'projects' section. According to them, there's no schedule of Japan tour for next year so far. They shouldn't have posted that before the plan was fixed. They disappointed us.
I'm just wondering if that image Jimmy posted is really from Kajimoto. Because we Japanese never use those Chinese characters "天使之翼合唱团" for describing Libera. We use katakana for it - "リベラ".
