a note about other reviews on this site November 3, 2004 9 out of 10 found this review helpful
some of the reviewers seemed like they didn't know yuki kajiura is NOT the vocalist(s) for these songs. these songs are sang by emily bindiger, Deb Lyons, Kaori Nishina, and Yuri Kasahara. Yuki composes the music, not sings it :) ja ne!

It's rare to come across music that actually reaches the core from within and moves the soul but Yuki Kajiura is one of those blessed enchantments. There's a strong presence about her that affects me like few artists do. When I listen to 'Fiction' the emotions in which she is trying to convey wash over and become a part of me, such as joy, hope and sadness, which are feelings we've all experienced many times in our life. One moment the power in her voice will elate my spirit while the next I find tears forming in my eyes from the conviction in her deeply expressed words and in the beauty she sings them in (FYI: Yuki Kajiura wrote all the lyrics for this album, including all the keyboards & programming, proving to be more than just a pretty voice). Lately I've been feeling very depressed but "Open Your Heart" touches me like no song ever has before. Whenever I'm down in the dumps, so to speak, it always seems to bring me back up. The melody is absolutely gorgeous and I love the passion heard in the uilleann pipes. I also have a fondness for the whimsical dance beats found on "Key of the Twilight" and the New Age meets rock-edge with an electric guitar on "Cynical World" but it's really difficult to pick favorites for every track is magical to me. What initially drew me to this CD was the tranquil cover art and so I read some reviews and found out that this was a release of songs by Yuki Kajiura sang in english (well, mostly) and that they were taken from various anime's like .hack//SIGN and Noir which naturally intrigued me. However, it wasn't until I heard the 30-second samples for this album that I knew in my heart that this was going to be something special and so when I played it for the first time I knew it would not disappoint. Actually, every time I put this on I enjoy it more than before. With a mixture of upbeat tempos and stirring ballads and a vast array of instruments (violins, piano, drums) this is music you can become blissfully lost in.
Thank God for Yuki Kajiura March 27, 2006 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I started listening to Yuki Kajiura's music over a year ago when I started watching .hack//SIGN. I know that there is no better music out there in the world. I have searched for so many CDs, but there is no possible way to surpass these songs. Yuki's songs touch my soul in a way that no other artist can and I wish she would produce more solo CDs, because one is not enough, even with all her heavenly soundtracks.
If you like this album, check out songs like "the world", "aura", "in the land of twilight, under the moon", and "obsession" (to name a few) on Yuki's .hack//SIGN soundtracks. I also recommend her .hack//Liminality soundtrack, as well as the Noir ones.
I can not believe that there is one person in the world who can possess so much talent. When you listen to these songs, you have no worries in the world...

Srry bout that. I am really hungry. Anywayz, When I first saw .Hack//Sign, I fell in love with the music. So much, I wanted to see who sung it. When I found out about Kaijura Yuki, I went and listend to samples of her songs. I loved them so much, I waited for nearly two weeks after I ordered it just to have it in my hands. ^__^ YAYNESS!
Kaijura is unlike any other J-Pop atist I have heard. She combines a lot of Techno and Classical Music in her songs. I mostly enjoy hearing the Violins, while my friend loves the Piano in it. I told her that Kaijura played to Piano and she was even more amazed. The story starts there I guess. Kaijura's CED is the one I take most care of. It is always either in my CD player or back in it's case. No where else may it go.
Kaijura's CD isn't one of those ones where You only like one or two of the songs. I swear, you'll fall in love with all of them the first time you listen to them. Trust me, I should know.
