Kajiura Yuki
Thanks to you all, the day of the establishment of Fiction Junction CLUB has come.
All those who have joined us, welcome to Kajiura family! And thank you from my heart.
I had honestly never in my wildest imagination thought of making a "fan club" until last year. What first drew me into making it ,I think, was the live concerts we had held many times last year. FictionJunction had been working separately from each singer, so it was "unable" to be called "family" as a whole. Nor did I recognize it in that way. I feel like, however, something like a sense of community has built up. Through the live performances we all played the same music on the same stages. And I've come to think us what we can call a "family" though I don't mean to bind us as a "unit".
FictionJunction, Kalafina, and Kajiura Yuki as an individual, aim at one goal, "the wish to play beautiful music".
There are various forms and means to achieve that. I've come to want to make a place to get them together and send our information to you all. FictionJunction CLUB is just getting started. We've just started seeking for, by trial and error, what we can do in this place. This beginning might not be lively enough to meet your expectations. However, I'd like to think sincerely about what we can do with you all, and what we can do in response to your support, through this club. We'd like to listen aggressively to your opinions and demands. We are waiting for your comments.
Still, I also think the best way to respond to your support is that the family give you beautiful music.
"Kajiura Family" is not only a group of members who have been took part in Kajiura's music, but also , above all, a group of members who love music. We love beautiful voices and beautiful harmonies. I promise I'll make much more effort and devotion in order to give you such music, and in order to make myself be able to take good care of each day and play more beautiful music than past. Let me express my appreciation to you with my promise.
I hope you continue to listen to the music Kajiura Family plays.
Your further cooperation will be much appreciated!

I'm very pleased to have had time to enjoy music as one of Kajiura family with you since last year.
When we sang in chorus in Kajiurago, which is unique to Kajiura music, I was so moved that I couldn't find any words!
As one of Kajiura family, I'm looking forward to many trials we'll make through the fun club and making many memories with you.
Anyway, I want to hold a lot of lives in this year...

1.RH (rehearsal)
This is one of our rehearsal scenes. We have practiced individually and here our efforts are united for the first time. Imagining the faces of audiences who will come on the day, we make sure of our movements and keep time with the band. In this way the rehearsal goes. I feel like the live has started since when we are in rehearsal♪ (WAKANA)
2.GP (General probe)
I had butterflies in my stomach with hopes and fears because this was the first and last rehearsal on the stage. Making sure of my standing positions, I imagined that on the day of performance audience would be in front of my eyes, and then I got much more nervous. But at the same time, I was excited, thinking "I want to enjoy the live with audience soon!!"♪ (HIKARU)
3.Before the performance
As well as previous live, original T-shirts have been made.They'll make us and the audience together♪ The time has come! Though it's cold outside, very very hot live concert starts now! Things we have made until now are finally released! Let's get excited together! (KAORI)
4.Performance starts
We sang "fairytale" through a scrim and we could get into the song naturally. I felt it was wonderful that the mood was enhanced only by a set! At the same time, I was extremely nervous because only our voices reached the audience! The luxury and fancy costumes were handmade by our stylist. The meetings about them had started several months ago.
All I could say was "cool" when white pillars came down along with "the image theme of xenosaga II" !
In this live I felt that we had got used to singing by the four. The more I sing the songs, the more I feel "profoundness of the harmony" "that had me overwhelmed"!!
And, strongly characteristic frond band!!! They are also one of the elements that makes me look forward to performing in lives!
As the live making the end the year, I think it was a fulfilling live in various ways.
Surprise party for Korenaga-san
The birthday of Korenaga-san(guitar) is Dec.24, so we secretly got a cake ready. Before the performance we celebrated him."Happy birthday!!"
He was delighted― but he had gone as soon as he blew the candles. I guess that's how he is・・・ (YURIKO KAIDA)
"Job well done" party
We had a party with self-examinations and our hope to continue working hard together. They are really warm so I thought we could keep on giving our fans nice concerts.(YURIKO KAIDA)
Secret guest: YUUKA
On the day, I had been excited since that morning! I was supposed to appear at the final part, so I was grinning to myself, thinking only about whether the audience would be surprised. I sneaked in the dressing room to not let the audience notice I'm YUUKA. It had been so long since then...I was really happy to hear their applause! Thanks so much! The surprise succeeded huh!?(YUUKA)
Untold story
I was wearing a bracelet with a shark motif that Kajiura-san had given to me. The shark flew off when I was swinging my arms around. After the live I made sure to capture it, being careful not to step on it. What a relief♪ (WAKANA)
N.Y Report
I, Kajiura, have visited New York many times.
This time it was a great family tour with the five songstresses as FictionJunction. Tony, a recording engineer who has helped me since I was working as See-Saw, did as excellent mixing as ever. I was pleased to meet Scott Hull, a mastering engineer I worked with for the first time. Above all, it is my unforgettable memory that we shot pictures with temperatures of -10℃ (good job, staffs).
I come alive when I'm overseas for some reason. YURIKO KAIDA really enjoyed shopping and purchased too much stuff to put them in her bag.
It was the day after Coming-of-Age Day that KAORI went to New York. WAKANA was awakened to the joy of overseas travelling. KEIKO was disappointed that the tastes of MacDonald's foods were same as Japan's. And, YUUKA was always not able to get Broadway musical out of her mind.
In that week there were mixture of the six feelings.
―Anyway, it was very cold there.
We ate Japanese foods too. This is Dragon Roll.

(Kajiura and YURIKO KAIDA like Indian foods very much!)
This is the same place that was used for the jacket of "FICTION", which was released in 2003.
We took a limousine.

Monologue of Songstresses vol.1 YUUKA
Congratulations on starting FictionJuntion CLUB!
I'm very happy to let you know some encouraging news at the beginning of 2009!
Have you listened to the new album released in Feb. yet? I'd appreciate if you'd enjoy the photos of New York, which are in the booklet. We went to New York for shooting. New York in the middle of the winter looked very nice with its snow white.
I puzzled a cameraman about "Who is the most sensitive to the cold? Kajiura-san or YUUKA?" in New York.
Now, I, YUUKA, am in charge for the first issue of this feature.
As FJ CLUB has started, this time I'd like to talk about things I've started and I want to start.
First, as I've mentioned before, I hate cold weather. I usually wear as many clothes as my friends say "You can go skiing, huh?"
However, something changed in New York. "I shouldn't say Tokyo is cold!" Suddenly someone inside myself started to shout.
I realized that humans get used to their surroundings.
WAKANA is very resistant to the cold. I saw her enjoying herself although she was wearing short pants. At first I couldn't understand why she was so fine, but I got used to the surroundings in about one day! Humans are great!
That built my confidence so much that I've started to wear light clothes in my daily life since I got back to Japan.
My motto in 2009 has made now; "wear lighter clothes, but not as light as to catch a cold"
And I've wanted to try hula dancing for a long time!
Because...it seems fun. It seems hard when its difficulty increases but it seems I could dance with a smile and I think it would be wonderful if I could take myself into slow stream of time. When one of my friends held her wedding at a Hawaiian-lines hall, I and the other friends excitedly chatted "we'd like to try hula". That's why I came to think about trying hula. Though it needs much energy to start something new, I 'd like to start something new casually in this year!
I think you also have various things every day. In this 2009, please look forward to FictionJunction CLUB and come to our live with your various things and feelings!
I'll enjoy my everyday life, looking forward to seeing you!
