Cquote2


Yoko Kanno is a famous Japanese composer and musician, known primarily for her work on anime soundtracks. Her name being attached to a project has caused And the Fandom Rejoiced moments for many fans.

Born in Japan in 1964 and having began her career doing video game soundtracks in the late 1980s, she has written or otherwise contributed to the soundtracks of a large number of anime, including (but not limited to):

Besides soundtrack work for movies, TV, anime and video games, Kanno has occasionally ventured into pop music; she has released two solo albums, and has served as producer for several albums from other musicians (including several collaborations with Maaya Sakamoto). She sometimes sings under the pseudonym of "Gabriella Robin", which for many years was sort of her Secret Identity. She finally revealed it in 2009 when she began performing live as Gabriella.

Kanno can write in any genre known to mankind - and even a few that haven't been invented yet. She is the master of the Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly. Surprisingly enough, she isn't a One Woman Band, something that would make her even more awesome. She is a keyboardist and frontwoman of The Seatbelts.

Alternate Universe John Williams has a shrine dedicated to her.

Not to be confused with Yoko Ono. Or Yoko Oh No: this one is more like "Yoko Hell Yeah".
