イシカワチアキ

Chiaki Ishikawa is a Japanese singer-songwriter widely known as the vocalist of See-Saw, her duo with composer Yuki Kajiura, with whom she recorded theme songs for Mobile Suit Gundam SEED among other works. As a solo artist, she has also performed theme songs for Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and Umineko: When They Cry. Her trademarks are her strong, centered singing voice and prayer-like lyrics that carry a deep spiritual and emotional weight, a combination that sets her apart from more conventional anisong performers. She delivered Sayonara tte Iu, the ending theme of Majestic Prince, a song that digs into the dramatic core of the series, joining a long list of her tie-up songs that explore the emotional undercurrents of each anime she works on.
