Yuki Kajiura / FictionJunction will be attending Anime Central 2026 as Musical Guest of Honor.

Aside from being known as the composer of many notable anime works, Yuki Kajiura has also been making music for her personal music project “FictionJunction”, and at ACen, she will be welcoming regulars Joelle, KAORI, LINO LEIA, and YURIKO KAIDA as the main vocalists of the group.

Through the vocal blend of these 4 extraordinary vocalists, Kajiura has heavily influenced the way choral arrangements are implemented into anime soundtracks and theme songs, establishing her own unique sound in many notable anime series such as Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Sword Art Online, Fate/Zero, etc.

FictionJunction has been delivering their music all over Japan with their annual tour series “Yuki Kajiura LIVE” and will finally bring their music to the US at Anime Central 2026!

The live concert will take place on Saturday, May 16th (Time and Details TBA) and will be free to attend with a valid Anime Central 2026 badge.

It's the hype/energy quotient of Emiko they're going to miss (in my opinion), especially with American fans who respond more to those outward expressions.

All the ladies on roster are prim and proper classy divas. OK, Kaori can be more expressive, and LINO LEIA can dance, but not on this stage. This is going to classic Kajiura-fest.

The setlist for the Anime Central live? 😯

If so it's a nice one, starting strong with "Magia"! 🕺🕺

Though I would have liked Kaori to bring the energy/drama for Hikaru's part, in Emiko's absence, it will probably be LINO LEIA taking the middle (Hikaru) sections, with Joelle taking the high parts (Wakana). Kaori will sing the low parts (Keiko).
