Information

FictionJunction YUUKA is the name given to the collaboration efforts of Kajiura Yuki, whose solo project goes by the name FictionJunction and seiyuu-singer Nanri Yuuka. The two had previously known each other from their involvement in an all Female Opera troupe, the Minami Aoyama Shoujo Kagekidan. They have released many singles that have been used as anime theme songs. "Akatsuki no Kuruma" is their first song which appeared in a drama CD of Gundam SEED; later, it was released as a single and by far, it's their best-selling single.

Another notable success would be the release of their fourth single "Honoo no Tobira" which was known to be the first single from a seiyuu to reach #1 on the Oricon daily charts.

Currently, the project is in hiatus because Nanri Yuuka is busy with her solo career as well as Kajiura Yuki with her other projects. But from time to time, YUUKA performs with FictionJunction in Yuki Kajiura Live concerts and special events.
