I found an article from a contributor on Anime Diet, a blog I follow, who attended the AX2012 event and an article on the Q&A session.
Enjoy!

Of course, I want to make music for a “girls with guns” show again if I have a chance.
LOL Loved the question.When did your love affair for music begin?
When I was in elementary school, I was in the chorus club, and I belonged to the chorus club for a long time, and so the first song I composed was a chorus piece.
Are you fan of anime, and do you have any favorite songs that you composed for anime?
I have several; I liked the Mushishi manga, and when it was animated, it perfectly matched the manga, so I bought the DVD collection for the first time. And a few years ago, Gurren Lagann was airing in the morning, and it was a good, very energetic anime that invigorated me every day, and I kept saying, “I liked it I liked it,” and so I got the DVD as a gift and I watched it all.
Many of the shows you’ve scored have a strong Gothic overtone. (Petit Cosette, Kara no Kyoukai, Fate/Zero, Madoka, the costumes of Kalafina) Are you drawn to that genre of anime in particular and if so, how so?
Is it gothic? I wonder Madoka and Fate/Zero are categorized as gothic, but I am certain that those shows are written in a dark and deep world. Yet, I don’t get offers to compose for anime that are merry and happy.
What inspired you to form Kalafina?
For Kalafina, I wanted to make focused (lit. “narrow”) music. For FictionJunction, I have to try everything I come up with; for Kalafina, I only want to try what Kalafina is supposed to sound like.
Can't say El cazador is terribly dark.Yet, I don’t get offers to compose for anime that are merry and happy.
I wonder what it's supposed to sound after all because I see a big difference between their 1st album and their later ones.for Kalafina, I only want to try what Kalafina is supposed to sound like.

If we regard FJ as a unit that has released a number of original songs, I totally agree with you.ninetales said:What inspired you to form Kalafina?

Huh, this is actually quite the odd answer...after all, Kala's singing several different styles of music, whereas I'd call FJ's songs very "narrow" usually.

Or she forgot she had composed for itKowz said:Can't say El cazador is terribly dark.
Maybe she's referring to her recent work.
