Yuuki Kanno

Yuuki Kanno is a Japanese composer who started with classical piano before finding her direction in anime music. She wrote the soundtrack for the anime series Psycho-Pass in 2012, which brought her wider attention. Her work often combines classical and electronic elements, as heard in songs like Casting Dice from 2019.

She has composed for several anime series including Guilty Crown, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works. While her style has drawn some criticism for being formulaic, it has also found a substantial audience in anime and contemporary instrumental music.

Kanno has worked with musicians like Junichi Matsumoto on guitar and Hiroaki Tsutsumi on drums. Her 2019 track Casting Dice shows her continuing to blend orchestral and electronic textures without leaning too heavily on either tradition.
