Best Music Award

swordland

Message from Yuki Kajiura

I wanted to create something that demonstrated Kirito's coolness and this track was the result. I'm very happy to hear that the main protagonist's theme song has won first place since that means the song was equally memorable as the character himself. That also means the music was able to accomplish its goal within the series. I am honored to learn that people appreciate this track which was originally created to accompany the animation.

luminous sword

Message from Yuki Kajiura

I personally like this track very much and have performed it every time at my recent concerts. The audience gets really pumped up when I perform this particular track. It was only played once during the actual series, but I am very touched to learn that it had such a lasting impression.

a tender feeling

Message from Yuki Kajiura

I'm very delighted to hear that fans chose not only music accompanying the battle scenes but a ballard track such as this one for #3. It makes me feel so nostalgic when I listen to this track now. I really like stories with a happy ending, and I believe one of the greatest things about SAO is how the story actually reaches a happy ending.
