Music - Sword Art Online
The anime score consists of over 50 soundtrack, remixes, and single releases starting 2012, and more coming as for February, 2020 as the anime sequels and games keep expanding the already-vast SAOverse. The discs are sold separately as well as bundled with the Blurays.
The score is produced by the famous Kajiura Yuki (梶浦由記). Born in 1965, she has been composing and arranging music for her own projects' albums, soundtracks, and more since 1993 (notably, the See-Saw and project, NOIR OSTs, .hack series OSTs, SPACE PATROL LULUCO OST, and over four hundred more).
The vocal tracks are delivered by various singers, while the lyrics is predominantly written by hotaru (Sakakida Wataru), a current member of MYTH & ROID (along with Tom-H@ck who also worked on songs for SAO and the yet-new face KIHOW). He is a lyricist with over two hundred albums (including soundtracks) he had his pen hand in over the mere decade between 2010 and 2020 (noteworthy are tracks for K-ON!!, Boku ha tomodachi ga sukunai, Overlord, and more).
