Although both perform under the FJ title and are collaborations with Kajiura, they are separate projects. FictionJunction songs have been featured in anime series such as Gundam Seed, Ookami Kakushi, and most recently Sacred Seven. As of August 2013 there are five vocalists: Kaori Oda, Keiko Kubota, Wakana Ootaki, Yuuka Nanri and Yuriko Kaida. Their concerts are typically titled "Yuki Kajiura Live" and include a backing band with Kajiura herself on keyboard.
Each member is credited with her own project name, except for Yuriko Kaida. They are presented in alphabetical order:
FictionJunction Kaori, with vocalist Kaori Oda (織田かおり). The duo performed two insert songs, "Tsubasa" and "Dream Scape", which were used in Tsubasa Chronicle. "Calling" was chosen as the ending for the anime series Baccano! and "Hanamori no Oka" (花守の丘 "Hill of the Flower Guardian"?), was used in Hokuto no Ken: Toki Den.
FictionJunction Keiko, with vocalist Keiko Kubota (窪田啓子). "Kaze no Machi e" (風の街へ?, "To the City of Wind") was used as an insert song in episodes 19 and 21 of Tsubasa Chronicle, and "Nohara" (野原?, "Field") was the B-side for the FictionJunction single "Toki no Mukou, Maboroshi no Sora". Vocalist Keiko Kubota is a member of Kalafina, another singing group created by Kajiura.
FictionJunction Wakana, with vocalist: Wakana Ootaki (大滝若菜). They performed two songs for the original soundtrack of Fist of the North Star True Saviour Legend: "Hikari no Yukue" (光の行方?, "Where the Lights Are") and the Japanese version of "Where the Lights Are" bonus track. FJ Wakana sang "Paradise Regained" (an insert song for El Cazador de la Bruja) and in the Pandora Hearts soundtrack. Vocalist Wakana Ootaki is also involved in Kalafina.
FictionJunction Yuuka, with vocalist: Yuuka Nanri (南里 侑香). Kajiura’s first, longest and best-known collaboration under the FictionJunction name. The project was originally titled "FictionJunction featuring Yuuka", but the "featuring" part was later dropped to shorten the name.[3] So far, they have released several singles and two full-length albums. Yuuka can also be heard in the Madlax OST.
Yuriko Kaida (貝田由里子). She first collaborated with Kajiura for the Noir soundtrack, in which she sang the songs that helped launched Kajiura's career: "Canta per me," "Salva nos" and "Lullaby." Since then Yuriko Kaida has provided vocals for many of Kajiura’s works, mainly as background chorus. Yuriko Kaida became a main FictionJunction vocalist until 2009, upon the release of the album "Everlasting Songs" and the single "Parallel Hearts.", lending her voice to “here we stand in the morning dew” and “Himitsu” in "Everlasting Songs" and providing vocals throughout the album.
FictionJunction Asuka, with vocalist Asuka Kato (加藤あすか). They performed "Everlasting Song", an insert song from anime series Elemental Gelade. Originally sung in English, "Everlasting Song" was re-recorded in Japanese and released as a single in 2005. It reached number 53 on the Oricon weekly chart and remained ranked for three weeks. As of 2012, Kato is working on her solo projects as Aira Yuhki and is no longer a FictionJunction singer.

石ころは何処まで行ける
砂のように脆く崩れる
一文字も読めない未来
don't believe in action
ただ前に進むだけじゃ見えない
show me your emotion
言葉に出来ないものを下さい
秘められた熱もあるだろう
どうせなら勝ちに行きたい
何もかも見えない未来
you are my illusion
空っぽのままの心でもいい
show me your addiction
閉ざされた夢を探して
勢い任せで掴んだ手が
きっと君を変えてくsignal
会いたくて 飛んだって
落ちて行くけれど
もう一度空を目指して
放り投げる想い全て
泣いたって 分け合って
君が笑うまで
一粒の涙の為に
石ころはひび割れて行く
夢一つ守れるのなら
砕け散る意味もあるだろう
show me your emotion
頑なままの心でもいい
no more contradiction
ごまかし切れないものを下さい
騙された場所で見つける
大切な想いもあるさ
泣き言を笑い飛ばせば
明日さえ掴めるようで
It's all for affection
どんな嘘よりも酷い真実
you are my devotion
逃げる事はもう出来ない
それは君のため
それともただ僕のため

愛なんていつだって

@user-sn1gp9mz9b
最近ライブに行ったのですが、
その時の完成度はこれ以上で最高でした。
特に皆さんの声に太さやハリ、調和が体感この動画の6割増しでした。
生歌がCDを超えている、素晴らしい方々です。
@yone-san
格好良すぎて何年経っても何度も観ちゃう カラオケでもこのPV観ながら歌えれば最高やのになぁ
@soifon0101
ほんと歌詞が最高 意思・心・想いを語っている。早いビートでも切なく、そして上げていく感じほんと最高です。
@user-os8wx5rm7c
初披露のライヴでスクリーンでこのPVを見て感動して
直後に同じ前奏の入りからPVと同じ衣装の皆が出てきてPV以上の歌声が溢れてきて
あんな感動はもう二度と味わえない気がしている。
そして興奮冷めやらぬ中帰りの新幹線の中でライブ終了直後に公開されたこのPVをずっと繰り返し見ていた。
そして10年経ってもいまだに繰り返し見ている幸せ
@user-lq5ti2di6z
幸せ者。
@user-un4he5bb3r
うらやましかー
@WalkureJ
メンバー一人一人がとても歌唱力がある。 素晴らしいです。 そして自然な美しさがある。
@user-uh3yw5uy3k
四人皆んな息があってとても素敵な音楽が流れるなんてとても素敵です
@tightros
10年間聴き続けてても全く飽きない曲はこれだけだわ
@gusuku1000
同じく今年というより、今さっき初めて聞きました。「セイクリッドセブン」(全12話)っていうアニメ自体も知りませんでした。
