The second place is ” Puella Magi Madoka Magica “. He received 281 votes or 11.9% of the total votes. “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” caused a social phenomenon as soon as it was broadcast in 2011. As a result, many related works, such as manga and novelized works, were born, and it is a blockbuster that has been extremely popular even after the main anime ended. Starting with “Magia,” which is used as the ED song from episode 3, Kajiura’s music is included throughout, giving the impression of a dark mood.
Also, in the movie version, Mr. Kajiura is in charge of the music, and the story is livened up with dramatic sounds such as “Credits justitiam,” nicknamed Mami’s theme. I’m looking forward to Kajiura-san’s music for the latest theater work “” whose production was announced.

“Kara no Kyoukai” is based on the novel by Kinoko Nasu.

The skillful chorus work, catchy lyrics, and melodies harmonized beautifully with the visuals have earned the soundtrack high acclaim both at home and abroad. In this survey, we received comments such as “Kajiura-san x Kalafina was a divine combination.” Many people seem to remember Kajiura-san’s talent as a musician in “Kara no Kyoukai.”
