After listening to a lot of songs, I have become more 'pro' when it comes to Kajiura Yuki's music hehe. Thought it would be fun to do 2 rankings: Here goes mine XD

Top 7 for Kalafina:
1. Magia
2. Oblivious
3. Storia
4. Sprinter
5. Hikari no Senritsu
5. Natsu no Ringo
7. Lacrimosa

(Ranking is really hard....they are all so good, but so far these are my favorite songs, I might not have listened to all of them carefully yet)

Top 10 for all Kajiura Yuki's songs:
(this is even harder to rank QQ)

1. Canta Per Me
2. Magia
3. Kimi wa Boku ni Niteiru
4. oblivious
5. storia
6. 約束 (Yakusoku)
7. Liminality
8. The Story Where You Are (君がいた物語)
9. Sprinter
10. Swimmer

Now your turn to share your top 10 :dote: I will check it out to see if it is really better than mine :p :knife:

Edit: Great songs that almost made it to this list:
-Vanity
- Gin No Hashi (aquarian age)
- red moon
 
I was about to say that we already had a topic for this, then it occurred to me that we must have had several already. :XD: Since not many people actually dig into the older pages... oh well, why not.

Hmmm, some of my current toplists would be:

Kalafina:
1. Oblivious
2. Lirica
3. Hikari no Senritsu
4. Magia
5. Sprinter

Yuki/Emily Bindiger:

( :nosebleed: I just want to secretly find some music that I have not heard before.)

What I did in the beginning was go to Youtube and methodically look through all of Kajiura-sensei's OSTs...the discography was really useful for that. That way, you can make notes of which songs you really like, or put them in your Favorites :sparkleguy:

Otherwise, it'll be really tough to do my rankings...there are so many songs I love! I think I'll stick to vocal songs, since my lists will probably get very long if I do instrumentals too.

Because it's a medley. It would be the same as Kajiura making a medley for all of your favorite Tsubasa songs. Now, wouldn't you consider it the best song ever? XD
 
Ah, that. :XD: But I thought Everything, not Nothing is mostly driven by one melody, unlike Thanatos which had half a dozen. Besides Hanae's segment and a short battle sequence, EnN is mostly KnK 7 M01 and its development. :ayashii:

But you have a point nonetheless. I think I'll edit the list. :XD:
