Nekko Basara Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I just got my hands on Chie's first album, "Loophole," and I was surprised to see in the liner notes that she thanks Tomo Sakurai, among others (though I didn't see any call-out to Fukuyama). The reason I was surprised was that I thought I had heard (from the SpeakerPODcast?) that - unlike May'n and Aya Endo - the two women didn't work closely together or even meet until after recording for their series was over. I'm not saying that's impossible (Loophole was released in late '95, around the same time the last M7 episode aired, so presumably recording for each wrapped up much earlier), but it just got me curious about the relationship between these two ladies I know Tomo was involved in one of the Mylene night events. What else have the two done together? Are they friends? Quote
Gubaba Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I don't know if they're friends or not, but I did run into Tomo at Chie's first "comeback" gig in 2010. Quote
Nekko Basara Posted June 2, 2014 Author Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks, Gubaba. That is very cool. I was hoping that you or Tochiro would chime in here. Do you know if I have that right, about them not meeting before/during the M7 recording? Quote
Nekko Basara Posted June 2, 2014 Author Posted June 2, 2014 http://youtu.be/H8TYsSYThEs Also - sorry to be a pain, but I really dig Chie - I noticed something in her appearance on Animax a few years ago. When Chie is introduced (around 6:50), May'n gives Chie's name in the western style (given name, family name), and Chie repeats it the same way. This is in contrast to the other guests. What's up with that? I don't speak Japanese or have any great understanding of the customs, so I apologize if I missed something basic. Quote
VF5SS Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Chie Kajiura writes her name in katakana which is generally used for words of foreign origin so she's just using the western name convention in addition to that. It's kind of a way to add flair. Quote
Nekko Basara Posted June 2, 2014 Author Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks, veef! I really appreciated the show(s) where you and Gubaba ran through all of the Macross music by decades, by the way. Quote
Gubaba Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks, veef! I really appreciated the show(s) where you and Gubaba ran through all of the Macross music by decades, by the way. Thank you! However, I prefer our Z Gundam vs. L-Gaim cast... Quote
Saruta Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Seeing as this is a Chie Kajiura thread already: just wondering, are she and Yuki Kajiura related? Quote

Nekko Basara Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 Maybe this is getting creepy, but since some folks have met her, I wondered about how tall Chie is. When she appeared on stage with Megumi (who the interwebs say is 157cm) for some of the FB7 promotions, Chie looked considerably shorter. But with shoes, camera angles, etc. it's hard to tell. Quote
VF5SS Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 you don't want to be creepy around Kajiura-san. She can out creepy you anytime. Quote
Tochiro Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 She's pretty short. Seeing as this is a Chie Kajiura thread already: just wondering, are she and Yuki Kajiura related?Let me put it this way - are Bruce Lee and Stan Lee related? ;-) Quote
