'''Kajiurago''' (sometimes referred to as '''Kajiuraese''' or '''Kajiuran''') is a made-up language that is prominently featured in the vocal music composed by [[Yuki Kajiura]]. Its lyrics have no meaning and vocalists are given considerable creative freedom regarding how to vocalise different notes. According to Kajiura, the idea behind using this as opposed to a standard language is that it allows the listener to create their own interpretation of the music befitting the scene(s) in which it plays.<ref>[https://canta-per-me.net/lyrics/about-kajiurago/?sfw=pass1627056619 Collection of interviews regarding Kajiurago]</ref> According to Kajiura's facebook<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1493831454012952&id=100001583365922 Origin of Kajiurago facebook post]</ref>, Kajiurago has its origins in her childhood attempts to sing opera songs she had listened to without any knowledge of the language the lyrics were written in. ==Example of lyrics== While the pronunciation of lyrics written in Kajiurago is not intended to be standardised, romanisations for some songs have been written out. Here is an example of the lyrics from [[the image theme of Xenosaga II (FICTION II)]], taken from the ''Yuki Kajiura Songbook #4 β The image theme of Xenosaga II Fiction II ver Vocal score''<ref>[https://canta-per-me.net/lyrics/image-theme/ Image Theme lyrics via canta-per-me.net]</ref>: ''meiya noyeimaya soima toiya''<br/> ''ma noche lei ye''<br/> ''eima nochelaya soiya noiya''<br/> ''ma yoche le yeiye'' ''noche, noche sole yeie''<br/> ''noche, noche sole yeiye'' ''1)kamalie ya manka samalaie ya manla sama''<br/> ''ieme ie mennela''<br/> ''lamai yama kenma samali yemelaka''<br/> ''kamaie ya manka samalaie ya manla sama''<br/> ''ieme ie mennela''<br/> ''lamai yama kenme samali yeme'' ''2)kamaliya mi yakan na maramiya''<br/> ''samalamiya malan masiei emala me''<br/> ''ya salamiya kanla mamiyama seya''<br/> ''kanla mamiyama se kanna malamiya''<br/> ''samalamiya malan masiei emala'' ''3)lanma salamami yakala samala mi yamala''<br/> ''miya mala sammamiya lamaiya manla iyamia''<br/> ''samalamiya kalamamiya''<br/> ''salamamiya kalamamiya kalamami'' ''yamma-same yame same''<br/> ''yanma-same kame yame yee''<br/> ''yanma-same yame ame''<br/> ''yanma-same kame yameyee'' ''consoli etutte i''<br/> ''yei la testa mia''<br/> ''camine etutte i''<br/> ''yemi''<br/> ''(camine tei e detto console)''<br/> ''la desta mia'' ''yammasame yame yame''<br/> ''yamma-same kame yame''<br/> ''yamma-same yame yame''<br/> ''(annali yamame yamaia)''<br/> ''yamma-same ame yame yee'' ''yammasame yame yame''<br/> ''yamma-same kame yame''<br/> ''yamma-same yame yame''<br/> ''yamma-same ame yame yee'' ''consoli adito''<br/> ''somalieta miya ita''<br/> ''camine etuttei''<br/> ''yeemi''<br/> ''(camine tei e detto console)''<br/> ''la desta miia'' ''(annali yamame yanaia)''<br/> ''yamma-same yame yame''<br/> ''yamma-same kame yame''<br/> ''yamma-same yame yame''<br/> ''yamma-same ame yame yee'' ''noche, noche sole yeie''<br/> ''noche, noche sole yeiye'' ==List of songs in Kajiurago== ===''[[Xenosaga Episode II]]''=== * [[in the beginning, there was...]] ** {{hash|in the beginning, there was... #2}} ** [[first meeting]] ** [[assault]] ** [[strain~Jin]] ** {{hash|the image theme of Xenosaga II #piano ver.}} ** [[the image theme of Xenosaga II]] * [[fatal fight (Jin & Margulis)]] ** {{hash|fatal fight #2}} ** {{hash|here he comes #2}} * [[communication breakdown]] * {{hash|Sakura #2 (theme-simple voc.ver.)}} * {{hash|Jr. #2}} ** {{hash|inside~Sakura #3}} * {{hash|a field of battle~bitter #2}} ** [[bitter]] * [[Sweet Song (Xenosaga II ending theme)]] (backing vocals) * [[Jr. (music)]] ===''[[A Missing Year]]''=== * {{hash|departure #2 (vocal ver.)}} ===''[[Xenosaga Episode III]]''=== * [[we've got to believe in something]] * [[promised pain]] * [[hepatica (KOS-MOS)]] * {{b|testament|music}} * [[godsibb]] * {{b|omega|XS3 music}} ** {{hash|omega#2}} * [[battle vs. Yuriev]]<!-- * [[Richard & Hermann's appearance]]?
