In 2020, the theme song "Homura" (sung by LiSA) for the movie "Demon Slayer: Mugen Train," which she composed and co-wrote with LiSA, won the 62nd Japan Record Award. She also worked on the latest season of Demon Slayer and composed the ending song "Eikyuu -Tokoshie-" for HYDE (L'Arc-en-Ciel) X MY FIRST STORY, which is currently airing around the world.

In addition to anime music, Kajiura has composed for films directed by Takeshi Kitano, such as "Achilles and the Tortoise," and for NHK historical programs like "History Secret Histories" and the Saturday morning drama "Hanako to Anne."
