The discography of Japanese voice actress and singer Maaya Sakamoto consists of eleven studio albums, four extended plays, six compilation albums, and thirty-six official singles. Sakamoto debuted with her single "Yakusoku wa Iranai" in 1996, released by Victor Entertainment. Since 2007, she releases music under FlyingDog.
Her early albums, like Grapefruit (1997) and Dive (1998) were entirely produced by Yoko Kanno with Yuho Iwasato handling most of its lyrics. By Lucy (2001), Sakamoto’s songwriting emerged, as seven of the twelve tracks feature her own lyrics. Shōnen Alice (2003) marked the end of Yoko Kanno’s essential role behind Sakamoto's music. In 2005, Sakamoto released her first album to not feature Kanno, Yūnagi Loop (2005), in which she collaborated with diverse songwriters like H-Wonder, Takeshi Nakatsuka, Takayuki Hamasaki, and Shoko Suzuki. For Kazeyomi (2009), Sakamoto collaborated with musicians like Koichi Tabo, Kaori Kano, and Aco, and Katsutoshi Kitagawa, who would later became member of her live band and long collaborator. On this record, she also collaborated once again with Yoko Kanno on the hit single “Triangler,” which reached number three on Oricon Singles charts. In 2009, Sakamoto held her first live tour, Maaya Sakamoto Live Tour 2009 “Kazeyomi”, which was later released as her first live DVD titled Live Tour 2009 “We are Kazeyomi!”. This year she also released fifteenth-anniversary greatest hits album Everywhere, whose title track is Sakamoto’s first self-written and composed song. Her sixth studio album, You Can't Catch Me (2011), which features contributions from different songwriters, including Atsushi Suemitsu, Suneohair, and Hideyoshi Sakurai, became her first number one record on the Japanese charts. Her album Singer-Songwriter (2013) was entirely produced, written and composed by Sakamoto.
The 2015 tribute album Request features artists like Sugizo and Mayu Watanabe covering her songs. Mini-albums like Easy Listening (2001), 30Minutes Night Flight (2007), and Driving in the Silence (2011) explore different thematic concepts.
