Yuki Kajiura/Kalafina


She’s a Japanese goddess when it comes to composing soundtrack for movies and anime. I absolutely adore her compositions. She’s not only creative and original (and carefree in what she’s doing!), but she totally understands how soundtracks are supposed to be like. Some songs need to have soft, melancholic melody, some need more kick and power, some need to sound mysterious or sublime… she’s a sensible artist.

 Yuki Kajiura

Interesting Fact: She majored in English literature, after graduating she worked as a programmer in Tokio. However, in 1992 she chose a musical path. In some way, her father inspired her to do this, as he was a huge fan of European classical music and opera himself. 


Yuki created many musical projects but she’s mostly linked with Kalafina, a Japanese vocal group, formed in 2007. At present it contains of three singers.

Those women are just incredible vocalists, they definitely deserve to be talked about. Their synchro is so on point, it always gives me goosebumps. Beside that, I really like their fashion style on stage. In Japan it is called: classic lolita, it is a very feminine style, where women wear long dresses, elegant hats and ribbons. Very chic!
