Yuki Kajiura (梶浦 由記, Kajiura Yuki?, born August 6, 1965 in Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese composer and music producer. She has provided the music for several popular anime series, such as one of the Kimagure Orange Road movies, Noir, .hack//Sign, Aquarian Age, Madlax, My-HiME, My-Otome, .hack//Roots, Pandora Hearts, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Tsubasa Chronicle and the Kara no Kyoukai movies (amongst others). She also assisted Toshihiko Sahashi with Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. Kajiura has also composed for video games, including the cutscene music for Xenosaga II and the entire Xenosaga III game soundtrack.
Due to her father's work, Kajiura lived in West Germany from 1972 until her middle school years. Her first music piece, which she had written at the age of 7, was a farewell song for her grandmother. After graduating from college (back in Tokyo), she began working as a systems engineering programmer, but in 1992, she turned her career around to focus on her activities on music. She admits that it was her father who greatly influenced this decision, for he was a great opera and classical music admirer.
I'm living with false hope, and my eyes
just wanna see a ray of light
I'm gonna find it in my fairy tale
I hear, long forgotten broken toys
tell me ancient lies of a boy
I will sing of them in my fairy tale
I was just a silent girl
always dreaming of a little angel
close to my reality
sing, la la la ......
the midnight sun hangs in the sky
show me your smile, my little angel
hear me, my fantasy
sing la la la.....through the night
see, how my flights of imagination
help me discover comprehension
I can find it in my fairy tale
I know, only a man can dare to dream
nothing is really as it seems
keep on telling, your own fairy tale
now wake up, my silent girl
take to flight, like a foolish angel
sing me your fantasy
sing, la la la....
my midnight sun hangs in the sky
the first and last wondrous invention
show me the horizon
sing, la la la....
the summer is here, we kiss and fall in love
but we've got to go, leaving nothing here
I wanna share the memories of long forgotten love
I was just a silent girl
wishing for better understanding
this is my melody
sing, la la la ......
my midnight sun hangs in the sky
help me to tell my history
with painted scenery
sing, la la la ......
in my fairy tale
