She’s into vinyl? Happy birthday to Hanako Oku — March 20, 2021

She’s into vinyl?

I received a email reminder from CD Japan that the Soundtrack for the anime film “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time” is available for a limited time — as a vinyl record!

The main soundtrack music is by another composer (Kiyoshi Yoshida), but of course Hanako Oku has two of her most famous songs included.

“The original soundtrack of “Toki o Kakeru Shojo (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time)” an animated feature film released in 2006 by Kadokawa Pictures, is now available on analog record for the first time! The full version of the theme song “Garnet” sung by Hanako Oku will be included. 2 discs, 16 songs in total.”

So, today I want to send out “Happy Birthday” greetings out to Ms. Hanako Oku, born March 20, 1978.

Still searching for Oku Hanako in 2021!

Starlight: Will there be another record or performnce this year?
