| She has provided the music for several popular anime series, such as .Otome, Tsubasa Chronicle, and one of the Kimagure Orange Road movies (amongst others).She also assisted Toshihiko Sahashi with Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny.She currently resides in Tokyo.Biography
Due to her father's work, Kajiura lived in West Germany since 1972 and until her middle school years.Her first music piece, which she had written at the age of 7, was a farewell song for her grandmother.After graduating from college (back in Tokyo), she began working as a systems engineering programmer, but in 1992, she turned her career around to focus on her activities on music.She admits that it was her father who greatly influenced this decision, for he was a great opera and classical music admirer.Kajiura greatly enjoyed the degree of artistic freedom that Mashimo as the series' director offered her while collaborating on Noir, therefore their collaboration extended to many of his later projects, with the latest (as of 2007) being El Cazador de la Bruja.Afterwards, he would just take the samples he thought appropriate and insert it to whenever he wanted them to play.SIGN, which became widely known for its TV and game combined development, and its soundtrack sold over 300,000 copies.During the production of the series, Kajiura met Emily Bindiger and impressed by her vocals, offered her to perform over 10 of the series' insert songs.She has also jokingly called Bindiger "her English teacher" on Anime Expo 2003.Saw's first original album release in nine years, became a hit, as well, in 2003, selling over 100,000 copies.In the same year, Kajiura released her first solo album, Fiction, which she performed and promoted at Anime Expo 2003 in Anaheim, California.One of Kajiura's solo projects include FictionJunction, which contrary to common belief is not an alias but the name of the project itself.The project involves collaboration with artists such as Yuuka Nanri, Asuka Kato, and Kaori Oda.FictionJunction YUUKA, with Nanri as the vocalist, is the most prolific of these collaborations.Symphonic Anime Edition', as a special guest.QUARANTINE

Genre mixes: It is not uncommon to hear operatic style with a pop beat to it.Kajiura's greatest inspiration, her father, was a classical fan; therefore her soundtracks have both pop and classic motifs.Some of her songs are written in German, Spanish or Italian.The Yamanii chants in the song nowhere that is featured in MADLAX is a good example of this.Trivia
Kajiura does not have the pleasure of seeing the rough cut of the show she writes for.She is usually handed sketches of the characters, and what she and Koichi Mashimo have dubbed Music Menues, so she is often confused when she writes.Kajiura speaks limited English.This fact was demonstrated at the Anime Expo event when she was invited to perform her music.This page was last modified 13:39, 29 November 2007.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.You can contribute information to this page, but first you must login or registerStaff in:.GIFT (OAV) : Stock Music.ED), Theme Song Composition (ED).Liminality (OAV) : Music, Sound Producer, Soundtrack Recording Engineer.Roots (TV) : Theme Song Arrangement (OP), Theme Song Composition (OP), Theme Song Lyrics (OP).Year in ReviewsA look back at some of 2007's best and worst releases.January 4A whole new year is upon The Click, and what will 2008 offer on the TV front?Who knows, but Brian Hanson is foolish enough to scope it out.Answerman is on vacation, and likely so are you, so this week it's a whole bunch of questions and answers from the last 12 months!Shi DVDs 3 and 4It may bore you or wrap you up in its wonder, but its status as a unique series of extraordinary merit is beyond reproach.Ragnarok The Animation DVD 1Even the somnambulizing effects of the .Kurau: Phantom Memory DVD 5As Kurau moves into its final story arc it proves, once again, that more of the same isn't always boring.The Manga BibleThis volume is little more than a clip show featuring the Bible's Greatest Hits, overlaid with so much text that it defeats the point of pictorial storytelling.Kanon DVD 1It may be a formulaic moe haremfest, but this winter counterpart to Air offers enough mystery, effective humor, and quality visuals that even those not into moe may find it entertaining.This is a photobook that celebrates all that, and even provides some useful examples for the practical cosplayer.Though mildly entertaining and sometimes a bit racy, the writing lacks sophistication.Sign in to get personalized recommendations.Minutes() * 60 + newCurrentTime.Minutes() * 60 + currentTime.Day Shipping at checkout.Yuki Kajiura (composer)
