Message by Yuki Kajiura*
I gathered one by one the pieces of music that I had the honor to write for the sake of the “Sword Art Online” animation, and by doing this I am very happy that everyone can listen to them again. It is a multi-colored world where characters overflowing with individuality, starting with Kirito-kun, are certainly running and flying around. While getting a feeling like traveling together a little bit, the fact that I had the honor to color this pilgrimage with music is truly a physical experience that makes my heart pound. Kirito kun’s adventure will probably still continue after this point, and I can only pray that, from now on too, I’ll have the honor to be associated with it a little bit with the shape of music.
Yuki Kajiura.
