* FandomRivalry: Between Kajiura fans and Music/YokoKanno fans, battles can get mean. Nevertheless both sides have [[FriendlyFandoms appreciators for both women]] and they also share common singers like Emily Bindiger (in numerous projects with Kajiura but also in ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' with Kanno) and Aimer (with Kanno in ''Anime/TerrorInResonance'' and with Kajiura in ''Anime/FateStayNightHeavensFeel'' and ''[[Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba Demon Slayer]]'').
* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: 'In your eyes' can be read as an [[UsefulNotes/{{Asexuality}} asexual]] in a romantic relationship with a non-asexual [[CrossesTheLineTwice convincing him to not insist on conventional sexual activity by]] [[RomanticizedAbuse dominating]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice him]]. She also spends almost the entire song [[ApologeticAttacker apologising]]. Even if you don't read it this way (Wakana appears not to), it remains a deliberate lyrical ClicheStorm that Kajiura may or may not have written as a joke.
* NarmCharm! Does a fine trade in it. As gigguk notes in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjytC-rIC8U his review]] of ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'', the soundtrack is still amazing "even if the choir sounds like they're singing about gaming snacks."
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Probably the thing that people criticize her more for. A significant amount of people think that a big chunk, if not most of her work, feels to be repeated over and over with not enough things to distinguish her multiple works from one another.
