This is absolutely gorgeous!

I have never seen this anime, but I might have to after hearing the sheer epicness of this composition made specifically for it!

This honestly felt like classical music composed for anime, and I am here for it!

Oh don't worry, you can be dramatic here, that fit. You read a summary of the story, but to be honest and without too much spoiler, if the story start on a kind of silly tone with action and a little drama (and a bit of sexy too), it evolved in greek tragedy proportion later, so yeah, the music feeling like a fight and we lost one of our comrade but we must continue, that check out. Of course, the soundtracks don't sound like that in all the songs, there's songs that are here just for the silly and are just fun to listen, but the drama, the action and the epicness, are here to deliver. For Mezame for exemple, after a quick research because it's been a while since I watched the anime (if I start rewatching, I won't be able to stop myself...), it happen the first time when the main character (called Mai) awoken her power in a battle against a monster (called orphan) for the first time to protect her younger brother, she didn't know she have them before, so she was very desesperate, scared and all sort of emotions. About the lyrics, it's a fake language that Kajuira invented, so there is chance that some latin and japanese were mixed in it. For Mai Hime and Mai Otome, I would say that basically, her style was classic meet eletro meet rock, not all her musics sound like that, but emotions seem to be the core center of it in my opinion. Also, side note, but for Yoko Kano, I think I prefer her work in Ghost in the shell : Stand alone complex, more rock/electro since it's cyberpunk, but very good too.

Wow, amazing. Only in Japan...

Now you can go check out the full studio recording here: https://youtu.be/Ws1wbqAbJvU?si=znrmG1Nc7joChU4R My favourite songs in this set are " Liminality" and "I talk to the Rain". Liminality is so beautiful it chokes me up and makes my heart feel like bursting. I love Yuki Kajiura's music and have had the fortune of going to her 20th Special concert last year. ( "Sword Art Online" also happens to be my second favourite anime... The unmatched favourite being "Lodoss War" which has an absolute beast of a full classical soundtrack. ) Yuki always works with the few musicians you see here and they perform with her in her concerts. She works with the same group of singers which used to be called "Kalafina" and now "Fiction Junction" after one member was changed. The bass singer, Keiko, is my favourite. It's funny that she has the heaviest role in supporting the group yet is the most lively and bubbly of them. She also wears the most cosplay like outfits during concerts. It's easy to miss out the vocal acrobatics that Keiko's doing cause the lower register usually doesn't stand out like the higher notes. You really have to pay attention to what she is doing with her voice to appreciate what a phenomenal part she plays in the songs.

Kajiura is one of my absolute favorites. It was the soundtracks for Noir and Madlax that got me into Japanese music way back in high school. A couple of the big songs from Noir have lyrics in Latin. The violinist here, who often plays with her when she plays live, is wonderful. His name is Konno Hitoshi. "A Song of Storm and Fire" is another wonderful one, from Tsubasa Chronicle.

That was cool. Love me some congas. Any kind of hand drums, really. Beautiful harmonies, awesome melodic guitar.

Carlos Garcia

they are amazing and you should definitely do some reactions to Kalafina or FictionJunction

Wait to listen to the "Frieren: Beyond journeys end" soundtrack. Masterpiece. And how about "Elfen lied" opening song!....uffff.

For me, there are two (anime) composers who stand out because the way they combine modern and classical music. Yuki Kaijura is one of them, who consistently accompanies an entire series/season with her recurring melodies and chosen 'effects'. Sometimes even across different series—certain effects and some of the vibes from this performance can also be heard in the soundtrack(s) to Sword Art Online, for example. :) The other is Hiroyuki Sawano, who sometimes likes to compose in an even more experimental way, which allows him to emphasize certain scenes/episodes even more epically with his music and implant them in the listener's mind. Their approaches are a little different, but they have one thing in common: the pretty flawless choice of vocalists who bring their songs to life.
