Masterpiece music!

She is the one who discovered Sakamoto Mayaa's talent

Darker than Black & Cowboy Bebop have an amazing soundtrack.

KaiZodd | 04-30-12, 8:14 AM

Yoko Kanno and Susumu Hirasawa are two of the best things that ever happened to the musical universe.

leokiko | 03-07-12, 2:52 PM

She is a genius.

raccoon-child | 01-31-12, 6:11 PM

My favorite composer. The Wolf's Rain's OSTs might be the most beautiful music I've ever heard. She took my heart away.

AkkaAkka | 01-19-12, 11:42 AM

I am so impressed by her work.

kittenz73 | 01-11-12, 4:29 AM

wolf's rain and bebop's osts were simply astonishing. I hate gundam but I love your music so much I might force myself to watch one of the gundam anime's you did music for.

KyonSmith | 11-21-11, 7:06 PM

Such a genius.. Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack is the best thing EVER

Lordcrab86 | 10-09-11, 2:58 PM

@Akvod:

and you're not even going to bother to explain how/why she is. either explain why you think she is a"so-called" plagiarist (great job of spelling it btw), or STFU.
