I want to start a Yuki Kajiura cover group/band!
Do you like Kalafina? FictionJunction? Anisongs in general? WELL I FUCKING LOVE THEM 😭❤️ so much so that I would love to find folks who sing or play an instrument and also love these wonderful artists and singers, preferably in my area (NYC) so we can actually get together and sing or play!
Pls dm me if you're interested w/ some info about the specific YK projects you like
About me; I'm a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist currently living in NYC, with 7 years of School of Rock live band performance under my belt (6th grade->12th grade). I'm a professionally-taught rock singer, bassist, and drummer, and went on to learn keys, guitar, ukulele, and other random instruments (like the dulcimer and a Japanese tongue drum) on my own. I started writing raps when I was 12 and began writing music on my guitar when I was 13. I am also interested in writing and singing music for other people, especially if you're creating a project in the realm of fantasy (like LOTR, folk tales, etc).
I have been singing in Japanese for 12 years now. and most of the music I listen to day-to-day is Japanese. Beyond Yuki Kajiura, I love visual kei and 90s J-rock (L'arc en Ciel, LUNA SEA, Buck-Tick), and other symphonic rock/metal bands like Sound/Linked Horizon and the music of composer Hiroyuki Sawano (AOT). I was introduced to Kalafina through youtube recs in my first year of high school and listened to the full live of their 2018 10th Anniversary concert every. single. day. Learned all the lines and Hikaru's, Keiko's, and Wakana's parts respectively. Through them I found FictionJunction, See Saw, Emily Bindiger, and the other collabs that Yuki Kajiura has had with many a talented artist in Japan and around the world.
Singing with other people gives me life and I after graduating high school and entering the workforce immediately, I desperately miss singing and playing my instruments with other people consistently. Pls message me no matter your experience or background, I WANT TO SING AND PLAY WITH YOU
