Biography
See-Saw is a Japanese pop duo (formerly a trio) originally from Tokyo, Japan. Its members included Chiaki Ishikawa (vocals) and Yuki Kajiura; former member Yukiko Nishioka (西岡 由紀子, Nishioka Yukiko) left the group in April 1994 to pursue a writing career. The group temporarily disbanded in 1995, but reunited in 2001.
The duo of Ishikawa and Kajiura performed opening and ending themes in several anime series, including .hack//SIGN and .hack//Liminality, two insert songs for Noir, the first ending theme to Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, final ending theme to Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny and final ending theme to Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom.
