Kalafina

Kalafina was a Japanese vocal group formed by the prolific composer Yuki Kajiura in 2007, initially created to perform theme songs for the anime series "Kara no Kyoukai." The group became known for its distinct blend of classical, pop, and an array of other musical genres—complemented by the soaring, ethereal harmonies of its members. The original lineup featured vocalists Wakana Ootaki, Keiko Kubota, and Maya Toyoshima, with Maya being replaced by Hikaru Masai early in their career. Kalafina's music is characterized by its cinematic soundscapes and elaborate arrangements, which have earned them a strong following both in Japan and internationally.

Over the years, Kalafina has contributed music to various anime, films, and TV dramas, further cementing their status in the Japanese music scene. Their catalogue includes a multitude of albums and singles, with a notable compilation of their works captured in "Kalafina All Time Best 2008-2018," which celebrates a decade of their contributions to the music industry. The group's aesthetic — both visually in their striking music videos and audibly in their songs — has garnered them a devoted fanbase. They have embarked on numerous successful tours, and though they officially disbanded in 2019, their music continues to resonate with fans around the globe, maintaining their legacy as one of the unique vocal groups in contemporary Japanese music.
