Forums - General Discussion - An Extremely Underrated Composer

outlawauron on 15 April 2010

As I'm listening some music/studying. I wanted to share the glory of Yuki Kajiura with VGC. She is the composer for the absolutely excellent Kara no Kyoukai (Garden of Sinners) movies. They're excellent, well reviewed, and generally accepted as amazing.

Anyways, here's some of her work.

From the first movie.

M12+M13

From the fifth movie. (I can't find a link to the whole thing. It's 15 minutes long and amazing.

M23

From the 6th movie.

M15+M16+M17

 

And Finally, I have two from the last movie.

M41+M42

and the awesome violin riff mostly used for fights.

M40

 

I hope someone else enjoys the music!

EDIT: Yuki Kajiura is a girl. My bad.

I'm guessing everyone is just in awe over this.

You have no freaking clue what you're talking about.

First:  Yuki Kajiura is a woman.  She, not he.  Seriously, Yuki isn't even a boy's name.

Second:  Yuki Kajiura is one of the most popular anime composers in Japan.  Arguably only Toru Takemitsu and Yoko Kanno are more popular than Yuki Kajiura.

Third:  She is not "underrated," she is simply less wellknown to audiences outside of Japan.

Never heard of him either when it comes to classical composers I only know the major ones like Mozart, Beethoven, Bach etc. etc.

You are kidding, right? Ever since Jerry Goldsmith died, Ennio Morricone is probably the most famous living movie composer and considered a legend. He received his honorary academy award 3 years ago and - of those movie composers who are still alive - only John Williams can compete with his fame.

I'm not kidding he is extremly underrated in the US.  I also like Jerry Goldsmith especially his work in the Rambo movies.
