Please Save My Earth, Macross Plus, Vision of Escaflowne, Cowboy Bebop, Turn-A Gundam, RahXephon, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Darker Than Black. That's just the very beginning of the list of work that Yoko Kanno has accomplished. She is without a doubt one of the most prolific, talented, diverse and beloved composers of our time. Her Wiki entry is a massive listing of anime, television, video games and film, as well as a who's-who of pop singers. She has proven that she is a master in all styles from classical to jazz to rock and techno. I personally think that her work on the Macross Plus soundtrack is some of the best music ever written, although the Cowboy Bebop stuff certainly makes a strong case for itself. Whatever style you prefer, you will not find a better example then than in her work.

I'm enjoying your site very much; I love the video links, photos and commentary. Thank you!
Definetly one of the best and most brilliant composers that ever lived!! But apart from composing, but she assembled a group of great non-mainstream artists and writers and joined all that talent to achieve its greatest potential.
The first time I see a live video and yes, it felt as if I was there. Thanks for starting and maintaining this site...it became one of my favorites!!!
Anyone who hasn't heard Yoko Kanno's music should go get her music.
