Yuki Kajiura | A Song of Storm and Fire Vocal Coach Reaction

[@EnderKichi]

Wow.... I never thought I'd see someone reacting to this song, and especially this particular performance... if im not mistaken, this is over 10 years old. Also idk if anyone mentioned this, but this is an OST for Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. Yuki Kajiura is one of my favorite anime/video game composers and the group Fiction Junction (the 4 back singers) used to have an ensemble together. But yeah anime and video game music is amazing.

[@mikefung9145]

yes, vol 2 from 2008 I believe

[@lunacodess]

I'll just drop this link to the amazing 2008 concert here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZnUiIpredqNrcU

[@KageKitsunenoyami]

Same!!

[@soyasuwabe7898]

Indeed! She’s soooooo good at putting violin and flute in her music.

[@w-dc7zm]

小学生の時、従姉妹につられてツバサ・クロニクルを見てました。数年後オタクと化した私は様々な場所で梶浦由記と再会しました。異世界に誘ってくれます。またKalafinaとのColaboは最強でした。

[@KuroiYuki88]

Holy cow, Yuki Kajiura's music? You're in for a whole RIDE down the rabbit hole. She works with so many talented vocalists and this performance is one of my all time favorites out of the live renditions for her concerts. My other personal favorite is Duran Shoukan with Hanae Tomaru as the main vocalist. So amazing.

[@TheSeeking2know]

Great to see you react to Yuki Kajiura. She has a lot of really beautiful music, writing for Japanese TV series, games, and movies.

[@mileimelle]

The main singer for this performance is Eri Itou. The background singers (L-R) are Wakana, Yuriko Kaida, Keiko, and Kaori.

[@kawaiipie5475]

Thank you

[@guilbermourapereira3572]

Não encontrava o nome da Eri Itou, muito obrigadoo!! 💙🤗

[@antotriyanto9419]

thats the special thing about yuki kajiura. she always write the music / lyric so accurate with the story of game / anime their belong to. her music has the "message" of the story itself and deliver it to us who watch the show, and sometimes hit so hard and painful yet beuatiful at the same time

[@wandererkapt]

If you want to check out more of her stuff, here are some 1. Yuki Kajiura - Fake Wings, Ensei & Mesame 2. Keiko - synchronicity (A song written by Yuki with different singer)

[@justjuzy5343]

You mean fictionjunction Keiko one of Yuki Kajiura's singers from her group Fictionjunction.

[@wandererkapt]

@@justjuzy5343 Yes. I was writing the actual name of the Video that is on KZbin.

[@LWolf12]

I love "Ring your Song" from her, as well as "Yume no Tsubasa" & "Ship of Fools"

[@viravongtong3644]

Yuki Kajiura is one of the greatest OST composer today

[@furiat5981]

Nah, Shiro Sagisu is the top dog

[@benmichaels3435]

Look for other project from her. - A Battle is for the Strong - Zodiacal sign - Lancer Vs Assassin - Luminous Swords - Himeboshi-mezame

[@Ghorda9]

There's also "main theme" from le portrait de petit cossette.

[@tzu-haokuo1150]

You forgot 'in the land of twilight, under the moon' :p

[@ShadowtheGod8]

Just as a heads up, during this early stage the band was called FictionJunction and most tracks featured different singers. Yuki Kajiura is the main composer, made soundtracks for .hack, Xenosaga game series, Fate series, Sword Art Online etc. In 2007 with some of the singers from here, Keiko and Wakana, she formed the band named Kalafina to make the theme songs of Kara no Kyoukai, later expanded to Madoka, Fate/Stay Night franchises etc.

[@yunlisa2243]

I love Yuki Kajiura! She’s one my favorite composer from Japan! All her vocal singers are unique and powerful! Wakana, Hikaru, Kaoru, Keiko, YUUKA. She created two bang groups. One is FictionJunction and the another one is kalafina.

[@soundocean3765]

Oh my God, the memories (haha!)... I love this song and the series it's from so much... Never would I have expected to see someone react to this, and now it's yours out of all reaction channels!! This is just amazing. (Shoutout to whoever requested this. ♥) Thank you so much for reacting to great Japanese music like that! Also very glad you liked it. ♥ The logical next step would be the song "Synchronicity" which is also from this beautiful anime Tsubasa Chronicle (fun side note: The Song Of Storm And Fire is, indeed, a battlescene soundtrack). Written by Yuki Kajiura as well, performed by Yui Makino. You're gonna love this one as well!

[@TheSeeking2know]

The "ee-est" of "eees!" Haha! Really got your point across. That chant is probably the most "metal" part of the song.

[@ChowingChow]

this song is gonna bring me back the tragic memories of tsubasa T_T

[@LWolf12]

Good anime, amazing manga.

[@helenrendon3615]

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REACTING TO THIS

[@diosyntaxa]

I found this song just the other day and man, I found your reaction just now! I know going in you'll like this, I sat there literally crying when I heard this version, not because of the words, Yuki Kajiura is a really good lyricist but this is her own 'language' Kajiurago and isn't meant to be understood as much as felt, but because of the emotion the singing evoked in me, I just opened up and felt it!

[@CharlieCalottaReacts]

I never knew that, and I’ve been SO impressed by her music. This adds a whole new layer. Thank you! It is like pure raw emotion in the way it’s expressed

[@fitriaahsani1286]

Wow, i think this is my first time someone reacting to Kajiura, thank you for liking her music and giving explanations :D And funny you mentioned Sword Art Online - the BGM is also arranged by Kajiura! SAO featured Remi as the main singer instead of Eri Ito. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5upk2V5aLKLrKc here is Luminous Sword, and kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ3baq2EmtGtbK8 here is Swordland, live performance from them. (I swear I had watch the complete 30-minute-ish video of this performance in KZbin but i guess it is deleted :/) Eri Ito is the guest star, she is not always included in Kajiura's works. If you are familiar with anime music/BGM here are some works I know from Kajiura - Eri is featured in this Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Pandora Hearts. Remi is featured in her recent works like SAO and Fate/Stay Night: Heavens' Feel. Other names are Hanae Tomaru, she is in Fate/Zero and Kara no Kyoukai. There are other works by her, but i am not quite familiar with it 😂

[@lunacodess]

You can find the full "SAO Sing All Overtures" video that you linked, on other video sites still. Definitely wish they left it up on KZbin - such an incredible performance!!

[@LegendoftheGalacticHero]

I’ve seen a few reactions and I appreciate you comment on the technical aspects

[@wandererkapt]

You misspelled her name 😂 But OMG I never thought this would get reacted ever. I'm so happy. So excited this made its way to you.

[@estebanreyes8483]

Yuki Kajiura ♥♥♥ you should listen to all the songs of that concert, "Yuki Kajiura LIVE 31.07.2008" ♥

[@lunacodess]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZnUiIpredqNrcU

[@jmstransit]

For anyone not acquainted with Kajiurago: Most of Yuki Kajiura's vocal pieces feature an astral language called Kajiurago. It has no meaning and sounds very close to Latin. The fact that the vocalists (who are also Japanese, by the way) can pronounce these sounds (almost) fluently speaks to the amount of skill they possess. Edit: I'll add - To put that in perspective, remember how English is generally among the most difficult to learn and pronounce for the Japanese Edit TL;DR You have to contextualize Kajiurago to understand how extremely skilled these vocalists are.

[@mikefung9145]

Interesting you mentioned SAO battle scenes, Yuki Kajiura composed for SAO series and this video predates SAO by at least 8 years

[@kbeautu200]

Finction junction+ kalafina all yuki kajiura works love it

[@nataliasoto9950]

My favorite song!! I always imagine Syaoran fighting when I listen to it. I love how the music is set in TRC.

[@hoangnguyennguyen1032]

Imagine one of the final scenes in the manga with this song lol. The one where both Syaoran and Sakura summon their magic circles and mend the worlds.

[@reginacitralaksmi928]

Me too, omg

[@reginacitralaksmi928]

Me too, omg

[@ronitganguly3318]

Is it from the Chronicle of Wings?

[@madamadadane7989]

Yeah this reaction is a gem to me. Not everyday do I see FictionJunction reacts. Eri is also the Japanese singer for Belle and Mulan! She's serious business

[@LWolf12]

A Song of Storm & Fire was a battle theme for Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. At least for Syaoran.

[@axllopez337]

I didn't think I'd find someone reacting to this song, cool

[@zhizn_snake]

I don't always like the live vocalists that Kajiura choses for her live performances (like this group, Fiction Junction, which ranges from OK to amazing depending on the perforamance/song), but the power is undeniable in her compositions and how she coordinates multiple vocalists and instrumentalists to create a unique sound. "Mezame" is probably the best Kajiura song Fiction Junction performs live, from what I've seen, but this one would be their second best I think.

[@TheSeeking2know]

Interesting... About the vocalists.

[@kbeautu200]

Are u picking a fight

[@Makkaru112]

Agreed!!

[@kevinh4910]

React to anything from her "Kara no kyoukai" ost absolutely a masterpiece..

[@David.Algren]

Oh I thought Yuki was gonna sing in the video but it's actually FictionJunction 😅😅😅 Love her music sooooo much, she is a gift from gods

[@LWolf12]

Her group, FictionJunction has a lot of amazing songs from a lot of different anime with different guest singers and musicians. From Tsubasa alone there are a bunch using different musical styles. This song, Ship of Fools, Yume no Tsubasa, Ring Your Voice & Kaze no Machi he, are all worth checking out.

[@Natsuki0san]

YES I LOVE YUKI KAJIURA, react to kalafina please :D

[@doyouknowbtsheystobit1344]

[@neamoeyoukai9430]

GOLD

[@elsicariodetibios6493]

Yessssssssssssssssss.

[@chrislopez8265]

Now u gotta react to Miki matsubara, stay with me!

[@Makkaru112]

MIka Nakashima too for sure! And the one she was inspired to cover. Glamorous Sky and many other great ones by her. And there is someone with a similar name but I think is more of an online presence but still quite well known has a a similar first name and surname is Nakajima. If I locate her again I’ll repost the name of the other girl I just mentioned. She’s cool too and a big inspired by Mika as well!

[@Makkaru112]

He’d also love KOKIA and Tsukiko Amano songs as well.

[@Makkaru112]

Namie Amuro too!

[@Makkaru112]

Oh and he’d definitely love Chihiro Onitsuka and many of the famous Enka Singers from all over Japan.

[@8882-x9j]

I just want to recommend oblivious live

[@justjuzy5343]

Don't wanna be that person but I wish you had learned how to pronounce Yuki Kajiura's name correctly. Also the people singing in the background is Kajiura San group called FictionJunction which are always the main singers/vocals for all off music that producers for animes.

[@TheBrunoGMartins]
