FictionJunction Yuuka (フィクションジャンクション・ユウカ Fikushon Jankushon Yūka?, stylized as FictionJunction YUUKA) is a pop duo, part of Japanese composer Yuki Kajiura’s solo project FictionJunction, consisting of Yuuka Nanri (vocals) and Kajiura (composition, lyrics and keyboards).
The pair first met at Minami Aoyama Shōjo Kagekidan (南青山少女歌劇団 South Aoyama Female Opera Group?, also called Nanshō), a stage group for teenage girls where Kajiura wrote music for some of the plays and Nanri was a performer.
Their first recording was "Akatsuki no Kuruma" (暁の車 Wheel of Dawn?), an insert song in the popular mecha anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, though their debut single was the opening of Madlax, "Hitomi no Kakera" (瞳の欠片 Fragments of the Eyes?), released on May 8, 2004. On July 27, 2004, the ending theme to Madlax, "Inside Your Heart", was released. In the same year, because of its popularity and the fact that it was Gundam SEED's one-year anniversary, "Akatsuki no Kuruma" was released as a single, which at its peak placed at #10 on the Oricon weekly rankings and sold over 19,481 copies in the first week.
