The Unofficial Yoko Kanno MySpace Page – 2000+ Members
I have monitored the unofficial Yoko Kanno MySpace page even before it came to 1000 members, and now it’s breached 2000! Way to go to the manager of the page. The songs in the profile are shuffled every week, with songs ranging from her work in anime, movies, TV shows, CMs, pop albums and games. It definitely provides new Kanno fans an idea of the extent of her work outside anime.
Let’s see. As a benchmark, the Yoko Kanno forum (which I believe is the only English one), YKDB has more than 500 members. The largest Yoko Kanno forum from China, YKFan.cn, has 7,300+ members. Now if only all the Chinese fans would go and add her as a friend…

hello
I love your musics and songs!
So I bought your new album” CM YOKO”.
My favorite is “Exaelitus”. But I have a question…
What does it mean “Exaelitus” in Japanese or English?
Is it Latin???

Hi KOMON, this is just a fansite, but I sure wish your greetings will reach Kanno. As for what exaelitus means, I’m not sure if it’s even a real word. Sounds Latin, but it’s not in the online dictionaries…

I am a huge Yoko Kanno fan, and I agree with Ashe’s description of “Exaelitus.” I am singing this song at my birthday party.
Since it is in a Latin-based language that Yoko Kanno made up, and taught to Origa and Gabriela Robin (Cloe is also in this language), there were no lyrics/ translation available on the web. Therefore, I spent a long time on the above pronunciation guide. I spent a long time listening to Origa’s pronunciation, although I an still not quite sure where the words start and end. This is an estimate. It should help anyone who wants to follow along with the song or sing it! Oh and FYI, this song was originally written for a car commercial, believe it or not!
