♢ FJ mini – liner notes

The idea of drawing FJ girls/goddess was derived from making a fanbook for Yuki Kajiura, on the forum.canta-per-me.net.
At the very beginning, I wanted to draw the 6 girls whose names have been combined into FictionJunction: YURIKO, YUUKA, ASUKA, KAORI, KEIKO, WAKANA, plus Yuki-sama. But… I’ve only seen few Asuka’s photos! I had got to move ASUKA out of my list T__T…
And then, I started to draw. That’s fun, yet a little nervous. Does everyone know whom I’m drawing if I don’t tell?
Eventually, I finished.
#YURIKO KAIDA
I admit that my fondness for Yuriko is one reason of why I drew her first. She’s so important because of her chorus. Imagine without her chorus what kind of the music may be (even though that will still be wonderful ^ ^; ). She has the right to be drawn first. On clothing, really, I’ve no idea, but I love the black dress (and the hat) on the Live, so…
#YUUKA NANRI
I can never forget the teary “Akatsuki no Kuruma,” I can listen to “nostalgia,” “piano,” etc. repeatedly for hundreds of times. They have released two albums so far, and I especially love “circus,” so my “mini” YUUKA is in the “circus-dress.” Although YUUKA’s hair has been longer than the “circus”-time, I thought shorter version might be better.
#KAORI ODA
She impressed me so much on the July Live. She is tall, energetic; her voice is beautiful and strong. After seeing one of her photo on her blog, I knew how to depict her. I tried to get her taller than others in my drawing, but, maybe I shouldn’t have done like that… -__-;; By the way, is my performance of her Live-dress right?
#KEIKO KUBOTA
In Kalafina’s songs, her voice is always covered by WAKANA… -__-||. But she’s very cute, and I like her low voice; I like to find her part while listening to Kalafina. I used the dress from “sprinter/ARIA,” one of my favorite dresses. But why, I always think there’s a bit of strange of her eyes? … if you know, tell me (yet I’ll never fix my drawing…).
#WAKANA OOTAKI
I even ignored her in “Hokuto no Ken”! But after the first release of Kalafina, I started to pay attention on her. Her soprano voice is excellent, or “goddess like” (from Kajiura’s comment). I also borrowed the dress on the July live; instead of a hair decoration, I put a shark on her head. I know you must know the reason.
#YUKI KAJIURA
She’s the real goddess! Originally, I wanted to draw her playing the piano, but since there has been one version already, I gave it up. I took a long time to considerate how to depict her. Suddenly, I thought up her self-made language. Everything became clear then. Look at, you’ll find the texts on book she’s holding are “Kajiura-go Jisho (Kajiuran Dictionary).”
