Yuki Kajiura and her group FictionJunction (Kaori Oda, Keiko Kubota, Wakana Ootaki & Yuriko Kaida) from the "Yuki Kajiura Live Vol.#2" DVD (Dec 24, 2008) ℗ Yuki Kajiura & FlyingDog, Inc.
Wakana's line at 5:58-6:03 was just beautiful. How she just opened her mouth gradually to change and expand the effect of her tone. That was my favourite in the song. I also loved the first duet with Kaori and Yuriko Kaida.
The piano interlude for “Fake Wings” was so intricate abs expressive. That is my favorite of this trio of songs. This was the first time I realized the sensitivity and intricacy of Kaori's voice. She sang in almost a speaking style which felt so intimate, broken (like broken wings) and fragile. I believe this video is what made me have really start to pay attention to her as a vocalist. She made me feel that song. "Miezaru Ude" was another song that more recently cemented my respect for Kaori as a skilled singer and solo lead - a role she doesn't really get to have in FJ as much based on the way the vocal composition is envisioned.
They said that Fake Wings was a lullaby for a dying child. A lullaby should be sung softly and sweetly. And because the child(fragile) is dying, you will feel broken in which Kaori has given a good interpretation of it.
Liked this back in 2015 and back again in 2020 and it still sounds as magical and as charming as the first time! Total eargasm and one of the best live performances ever! God I wish I were there!
This literally brought me to tears. I am speechless... I have never had music do what 'Mezame' did to me. It's mind blowing... I have always passionately loved music, and been aware of the power it can hold, and have over us. But this... This is something completely new. A song alone has never made me bawl my eyes out like a child just out of pure beauty and power alone. This is why I have, and always will, love music above anything and everything else in the world. There is nothing like it, and we as a human race are blessed to have it. Yuki Kajiura is by far my favourite composer ever. I could pick out any of her songs and immerse myself in the pure beauty that it is. I may sound ridiculous. I mean, it's just music. I'm obviously just being a pretentious little twat right?. But I'm not, at least I think I'm not. These are just my true feelings on music.
Beautiful thoughts, Monika! It's amazing that, almost six years after I decided to share this video, so many people find it and connect so deeply with Yuki's incredible music. I'm so very happy you liked it, and thank you so much for sharing your feelings on it, which I echo wholeheartedly. Thank you!
Yeah, I have known about Yuki Kajiura's music for a while through anime. I had watched Madoka Magica and loved the ost. I knew she made amazing music, but it was only recently that I decided to try and just listen to some of her music in isolation. I've been listening to so many and have loved them all, I was listening to just a lot of Kajiura's songs in succession until I reached this one and was blown away. In fact, I went and bought a Yuki Kajiura live CD because of this. It wasn't this one, I didn't find it. But when I do I'll probably buy that one too if I can afford it. I'm glad you enjoyed my comment and that you agree with it :D. Thank you for sharing this, even though it was six years ago. I'd still have loved Kajiura if I hadn't seen this video, but not to the same extent. I intend to share Kajiura's work with how many people I can, in hopes they can get to connect with it the same way, or if nothing else just giving her more of the attention she deserves. hehe, I guess maybe that same passion for sharing her work is what made you post this video come to think of it.
@@WikiPhaedriel This is still my favorite anime music that hits me the hardest and pull at all the heartstrings at once. Partly because My-HIME was one of the first anime shows I watched when introduced to anime back in the days and of course it's because Yuki-sans fantastic music. I think this is still the best battle song i've heard so far. I have found some more really great ones but they are few that can make your emotions explode and invite the onion fairy. 😉Ceui is one other.
Sadly that's how bad Spotify is when it comes to J-artists...only a small percentage of their work is available on Spotify. I really would've abandoned Spotify if not for the fact that listening to music there actually supports the artists :/

10 years post. 14 years music. Kalafina before Kalafina! Only 421k views?? Only 3.8k thumbs???! I wonder why Google is hiding classic gems like this from people for so many years...
3:10 Kaori has this skill of expanding her tone to resonate wider and farther like she did hear on the last word, “find” Wakana has that mournful and emotional high-pitched voice. That unique resonance that stands her out. Keiko always warms up and softens to blend with her.
My H.I.M.E Супер аниме без вариантов.... А такие песни ее только дополняют и делают роскошнее. Все блага Юке Каджиуре! Делает фон для хороших настроений не только народу Японии, но и для других стран, ценящих качество исполнений... Обратите внимание на разделение голосов по октавам, и в то же время их разделение по мотивам музыки! Кто с музыкальным образованием - сообразит. Очень огромное достижение - найти такие голоса и настолько правильно их распределить. Юки - красава)))
I have no words to describe those feels. It's so beautiful. I can recognize the originals song but don't know where I heard this before. Still, Yuki Kajiura is absolutely talentuous, she deserves 10000 more ovations from all over the world. So much better than stereotyped, annoying musics from most of western countries. Japan will always be the best !
I can hear real angels. they can sing the phone book for all I care.
I know five years is a long time but I don’t think phone books were still around 😂😂
JK it’s just a reminder to listen to these guys
@@salehsaber4306 i can still find some hidden tomes here or there. 5 years later. and these girls are still the best.
U alive?
I started sobbing helplessly at Mezame. Again --'
I think I love Kajiura Yuki as much as I do Tchaikovsky
I swear every time I hear Mezame I get the chills through my whole body. Such an epic piece.
Same here.
Mai hime has one of the best OST in anime period.
here I am 29 me who used to listen to this when I was 13. I still get the same chills and I can't help but cry listening to this masterpiece
Same Epic Battle OST. As expected from Yuki Kajiura.
The epic bettle OST music Queen.
There are times when you really don't need to understand the language in order to enjoy the music. This is definitely one of those times. Bravo!
I wanted to cry on Ensei. I wanted to feel something
Words can't explain how I feel hearing this...
True.
Wakana's line at 5:58-6:03 was just beautiful. How she just opened her mouth gradually to change and expand the effect of her tone. That was my favourite in the song. I also loved the first duet with Kaori and Yuriko Kaida.
what is the name of the song ? 5:58
@@marinasosa7560 Mezame.
thanks
I forgot the Mai-Hime OST was this good, Mezame is incredible.
First the light and fragile voices...
Then the dark and melancholy voices...
Then energy and passion from all the voices!

I started following FJ because of Kaori and Yuriko's version of Fake Wings. 😁 And the rest is history.
They said that Fake Wings was a lullaby for a dying child. A lullaby should be sung softly and sweetly. And because the child(fragile) is dying, you will feel broken in which Kaori has given a good interpretation of it.
@@ljmilanes3105 I didn’t know that. Wow! There’s strong emotion to that song then!
Ensei: Wakana + Keiko + Yuki = Perfect Harmony!
Its been years since this and yet i still get goose bumps even in 2018
well i got all the time when Wakana,Keiko,Hikaru,Kaori, Yuuka and most off the YukiKajiura singers, they have angels in voice
Me in 2019
Still rocks in 2020
2021 and it still sounds like angels singing
2022!!! The voices are so angelic
fake wings is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Dallin Corman same
Intimate expression.
Yes with Kaori’s version ❤
The run from 8:23 -> 8:52 is beyond elegant and uplifting I LOVE IT
Wowowowow. My ears. What just happened.
They're really amazing especially wakana *_*
Yuki kajiura's pieces are not just simple but awesome
how i love this.
I love how Yuki Kajiura plays with emotion instead of being one of those stiff piano players....I love Ger and fiction junction yuuka!
God i love Wakana's voice *awestruck*
i loved how kajiura started jamming along with some of the solo's :D she is suchfun to watch XD
That contralto (Keiko) is so good.
She is.
I love this. So much talent. It must've been amazing for the people who saw this in person...
Hmm is 14-13year i noot hear this masterpiece😌,i still remember it
Liked this back in 2015 and back again in 2020 and it still sounds as magical and as charming as the first time! Total eargasm and one of the best live performances ever! God I wish I were there!
