JUNNA

It's nice to see JUNNA lean a bit more into her cuteness instead of her usually slightly edgier look.

The hairstyle change was a good one.

Today, I performed live at the opening and halftime show for the Niigata Albirex BB game 🏀

It was truly a valuable experience. It was so much fun. I'll keep working hard so I can come back and sing again 🔥

In May, I'll be returning to Nagaoka for the U.S. Festival, so I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone there 🌾

This is about JUNNA, so I didn't know whether to put it in the "Kajiura Family TV Appearances" forum.

Amazingly, this was my third time, and I truly get to spend a smile-filled hour with all of you each and every time ☺︎

Here's hoping I can appear again!!!
Everyone, onigiri pose together 🍙

Thank you so much ❤︎

I think I'm loving this cool look from JUNNA. I think the bangs and dark (black?) hair do look good on her.

#Junna Interview Article Now Published!

Please Check It Out!

#Junna_HelloGoodbye

(So...she went from UPPERCASE to Sentence case)
 
From the interview at https://ddnavi.com/article/1403588/

""Until now, I thought strength was the most important thing when it came to expressing emotions. But I realized that depending on the song, you can't just push through with strength; you also need to express gentleness and sadness to get the message across. I was worried whether my existing fans would accept this change, but after actually releasing the song, they were very warmly receptive, and I was finally able to relax.""


I am glad she's having this change of mind, since we'd been saying it for a while. She has power and actually a cool voice but she's often going for full-power belts when it's not needed in a song, for example at YKL21.

Less can be more in the right hands.
 
This was what made macross fans excited after the anime ended

And then a bigger one with powerhouse fukuyama, nekki basara from firebomber

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rxIyWNfcYY

Several more crossovers and special guest overthe years until the insane 3 concerts in 2025
Its a junna concert but essentially everyone is there from macross, mayn, nakajima, fukuyama, including kajiura yuuki. Asca too

Full setlist for all 3 shows.

Long time lurker, just signed up. I have been a junna fan from macross delta. This was the start of it all. Shes very young in it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRnHEj-7emI
Just watched this.

Wooow! That power was so surprising this young. She's always been a belter. Her range? Very surprising! She went really low in harmony with the other girl oņ the first song. Then she went solo rock belting on the second song, and pop ballad on the 3rd. Still watching... She had a strong pop head voice too.

Her voice was so loud compared to her partner's voice. It sounded like it was overpowering everything else. They were obviously a unit - Junna and the other girl.

I am curious though Junna seemed to have a more metallic ring to her belt in this early video (maybe it's just the audio quality) but her voice seems to have changed in recent years as she grew older, especially on those belts/high notes. She seems to not be able to go as high and that Kaori-like metallic ring is no longer there, so her high notes are not as piercing and clear as in this early video, but a bit more strained.

Has she ever said who the singers were that she imitated? I could almost think I heard some Christina Aguilera in the way she did her runs down to a low almost inaudible level. 😉
