[edit] Pronounciation

It would really help people if somebody (who knows how to) could put a prononciation by her name... Some people such as myself have a problem deciding which way is the right way to pronounce her name and this would really really be helpful. comment added by Tsukasahminaki (talk • contribs) 08:34, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Citation found

There's a citation needed tag down in the trivia section, and I think the quote can be backed with this interview from Anime news network. Wiki - "Kajiura does not have the pleasure of seeing the rough cut of the show she writes for." Interview - "When I start music for an animation, I usually can't get the actual moving pictures yet." Could someone who knows the correct formatting fix that?

[edit] Biography

Would it be worth it to integrate the biography in the Fiction CD booklet? -Yipdw 12:03, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I haven’t seen it, so I’m gonna say yes if only to see it. Especially since biographical stuff currently makes up about 2% of the article. —Frungi 01:03, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
Alright, I'll see what can be done about that. The text in the booklet is obviously copyrighted without reproduction permission (and therefore can't be reproduced verbatim here), but the facts can be reused. I think. IANAL. -Yipdw 10:57, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
Or maybe you could email them and get permission for just Wikipedia? —Frungi 03:07, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

The information about Yuki Kajiura performing her first musical composition when she was 7 was taken from a fan club (unofficial) on IRC. It's also (I think) on the homepage of Kajiura Yuki. Apparently, she was doing a farewell music for her grandmother.

Can someone confirm this ?

She mentions that in an interview. Rcjsuen 10:58, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discography

Should See-Saw's discography be moved to See-Saw's page instead? If we're going to include one band she's involved, one might ask why aren't her FictionJunction projects listed as well (I notice Destination is there, but where are the others?). I think these extraneous discographies should be moved to their own pages before it would makes the discography section really, really long. Thoughts, anyone? --Rcjsuen 11:08, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

For the game soundtracks section, could someone help me correct any mistakes I've made whilst romanizing Xenosaga III's name? Thanks! -- Remy Suen 10:31, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I think citing her works for theme songs or "a couple of tracks" for some soundtrack should either be removed or placed in a separate section altogether. I think it's better for the listings within the soundtracks table to only consist of soundtracks that she herself has composed (or were responsible for a large majority of the tracks contained within). --Remy Suen 18:35, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Support. Good idea, though I'm afraid you'll have to do it all on your own. :( --Koveras 19:21, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

The French Wikipedia seems to have a more complete discography than the English one. Maybe we should copy it...

[edit] Hired Vocalists

I noticed that this section now has the person's Japanese appended after for almost every person. I don't personally feel that this is necessary as anyone interested in their actual name can just click on the wikilink, thoughts, anyone? --Remy Suen 14:58, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

It isn't really overencumbering the article IMO, so I'd say it can stay. :) --Koveras 14:50, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Is there a source for Arai Akino or should her name be removed again due to people's stupid? I know she worked on NOIR too, but she composed and performed her own songs, not as a vocalist for Kajiura-san.

[edit] Driemaal is scheepsrecht?

Is it really necessary to have the Japanese spelling and pronounciation ("梶浦 由記 Kajiura Yuki") 1) in the lead, 2) at the top of the infobox and 3) lower in the infobox as well? Wouldn't one instance suffice? Shinobu 19:16, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Removed and tagged the first instance with the nihonogo template.. --Remy Suen 03:20, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lead

I think the lead is a little bit weird.

She is a Japanese composer and producer who has provided the music for several popular anime series, such as .hack//SIGN and Noir. She has also provided musical compositions for Aquarian Age, Madlax, Gundam SEED, Gundam SEED DESTINY, My-HiME, My-Otome, and one of the Kimagure Orange Road movies (amongst others).

Which anime series out of the ones listed above is "popular" is certainly open to debate. However, saying that she has composed for some popular anime series, then going on to list more anime, seems a little bit counterintuitive. "Counterintuitive" is probably not the best of words, but I think I've gotten my point across. --Remy Suen 11:42, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

AFAIU this lead is a result of continous expansion of a stub, and such things tend to get "counterintuitive". Someone'll probably have to rewrite it before long. :) --Koveras 12:31, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Salva Nos

Why does Salva Nos redirect here? I'm guessing that the Mediæval Bæbes song of that name is unrelated. Perhaps we should create a page called Salva Nos (song). —Preceding unsigned comment added by KevinBullock (talk • contribs) 18:51, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I came here wondering the same thing. -- Al™ 05:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
