I have always loved a certain composer and lyricist Yuki Kajuira. The link above is a fan site with sheet music, downloads, lyrics, and very descriptive discography of her numerous songs and album releases. I don't think she's ever recorded a song with herself as the singer, but every song she releases is absolutely melodic and beautiful. Though they are far from being pop, they combine the classical sounds of string instruments (particularly the guitar and the violin) with more computer-created sounds. The voices she chooses for her songs are almost always female, and her lyrics are never dissapointing. They address topics ranging from vanity to cynicism, violence to deep love. She also writes lyrics in all sorts of different languages. It's amazing to go through song after song listed on her fan site and find almost each one listing her name as being the lyricist, the composer, and anything else the song might have required besides singing. She's just that talented and devoted to her art. I find her to be a very admirable person. It adds even more when I take into consideration that her music is used in half the anime that I love. I suggest check out the site if you like classical, melodic, meaningful, or instrumental music.
