For a second I thought she was going to announce FictionJunction feat. KOKIA
Just she went to the 25th Anniversary concert.

She even sent flowers

Hey, who knows? Maybe they met after the concert and she invited her for a project. Though imo it would probably be for a soundtrack rather than a FJ collab.

曲中の、音は入れたくないけれどかといって無音では強すぎるここをどうしよう、でもう30分くらい悩んでる。(-_-;ﾑﾂｶｼｲ

I've been struggling for about 30 minutes now, trying to figure out what to do about this part of the song where I don't want any sound, but the silence is too strong. (I'm so confused.

I'm back. As soon as I got home, I tossed unnecessary receipts and such from my bag into the washing machine, threw the clothes I changed out of into the trash bin, and was about to take a breather when I realized my mistake and had to start over from scratch.

Must have been very deep in thoughts

Kajiura's sister has a son (since she calls him nephew) and that makes me happy ^^ I hope he takes the composer genes from his aunt *_*

That would be nice.

Hypothetically, an edgier style with a few classical elements, and working with strong male chorus vocals.

Happy new year！
May we all have a vision
now and then,
Of a world where every neighbor is a friend!

去年ディナーショーにて大好きなABBAのこの曲を歌姫ズにとても素敵に歌って貰えたのはとても良き思い出になりました。どうぞ皆様にも素敵にウマく行く2026年となりますことを！

At last year's dinner show, it became a very fond memory that the divas sang this beloved ABBA song so beautifully for us.I hope that 2026 will be a wonderful and successful year for everyone!

さて、本年2025も大変沢山の方にお世話になりました。
お陰様でハッピーに満ち満ちたKANREKI！を迎えることが出来、本当に私は恵まれているなあと…いただいたご縁に感謝するばかりです。

本年も私の音楽を一緒に奏でて下さった素晴らしき、かけがえのないミュージシャンのみなさま、支えて下さったスタッフのみなさま、作曲家梶浦にお声をかけて下さったみなさま、そして何より梶浦の音楽に耳を傾けて下さった貴方に！　幸せな一年を本当にありがとうございました！

また来年も、真摯に音楽と向き合って参りたいと思っております。
貴方のお耳に届きますように。
少し早いですが本年末のご挨拶とさせていただきます。
どうぞよいお年を！(^^)


Well, this year 2025 as well, I was greatly indebted to so many people.
Thanks to you all, I was able to welcome a KANREKI! filled to the brim with happiness, and I truly feel that I am so fortunate... I can only express my gratitude for the connections I've been given.

This year as well, to the wonderful, irreplaceable musicians who played music with me, the staff who supported me, everyone who reached out to composer Kajipura, and above all, to you who lent an ear to Kajipura's music! Thank you so much for a truly happy year!

I look forward to continuing to face music with sincerity next year as well.
May it reach your ears.
This is a bit early, but I'll make this my end-of-year greeting.
Have a wonderful new year! (^^)

Kajipura her new nickname

 

[toshiroukajiura]

Not that I am expecting much but I am glad that Kajiura was open to covering existing songs from other artists
I think ( based on knowledge only ) this is the 3rd song that she covered from other artists as Fictionjunction.
1. Gatherway
2. Emiya’s theme
3. Happy New Year
You know any other songs she’s covered from other artists?

 

[CloisteredFlame]

Maybe should do a section of one of her lives where she takes us through a few of the formative songs that shaped her musical tastes from her early years and also other impactful songs, maybe call it "Kajiura's formative songs".

Or, if she did socials, she could record a well-produced video series taking us through music (including Western classical pieces) she loves and do a mini-analysis of them, from her own lens and experience.

 

[george1234]

^ Dont the other Kalafina Christmas live songs also count as covers ?

 

[grunty]

If you count EMIYA in your list of covers, then there's "the sword of promised victory" too.

Maybe should do a section of one of her lives where she takes us through a few of the formative songs that shaped her musical tastes from her early years and also other impactful songs, maybe call it "Kajiura's formative songs".

I'm sure she's done that in like 4 tv docus or radio programs, not even counting her own fanclub radio show that I'm not following.

 

[CloisteredFlame]

^ Dont the other Kalafina Christmas live songs also count as covers ?

Those Kalafina ones were covers of Christmas classics, right? They are seasonal and also in the public domain (free to perform).

I am talking about her doing things like the ABBA cover she just did.
One or two Beatles songs, or from other artists she loved - Enya, some classical pieces, etc..

 

[CloisteredFlame]

I'm sure she's done that in like 4 tv docus or radio programs, not even counting her own fanclub radio show that I'm not following.

I would like to see that if there was anything like it, to hear her explanations and interpretations.

 

[CloisteredFlame]

Happy new year to you guys and to everyone!

 

[grunty]

I'm not a scholar (maybe if I knew Japanese...) and don't have every interview Kajiura ever did saved (I have some) but:

For newer shite:
https://fictionjunction.com/information/11421
https://www.nhk.jp/p/anison-ac/rs/Q3PKWJX562/episode/re/N7X5Z97GLR/
If you can hunt down this radio show, that's pretty much all Kajiura talking about her musical journey, starting from inspirations (they play The Beatles' "Penny Lane" and, coincidentally, ABBA's "Happy New Year", lul).

For older shite:
If you can hunt down Masami Okui's @Tunes. program with FJY as a guest ?from 2006-11-17?, it has a "Roots Tunes" segment with Kajiura talking about Cocteau Twins's "Treasure" album and Yuuka talking a tiny bit about Bobby Caldwell.
