Product Description
Content Introduction: The soundtrack to the masterpiece sci-fi anime film by Katsuhiro Otomo and Hisashi Eguchi is being reissued on remastered CD! "Roujin Z," a masterpiece sci-fi animation film created by the collaboration of Katsuhiro Otomo (original story, screenplay, and mechanical design), Hisashi Eguchi (original character design), and Hiroyuki Kitakubo (director), was released in September 1991. It received high praise, including winning the Animation Film Award at the Mainichi Film Awards that year, and remains immensely popular both domestically and internationally. To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the film's release, the currently out-of-print and hard-to-find soundtrack is being reissued with the latest remastering and high-quality Blu-spec CD2 specifications. The music is by the brilliant Fumio Itakura, who has led unique bands such as Chakra and Killing Time. The soundtrack, which incorporates diverse elements such as industrial techno, ethnic music, and contemporary music, and features bold processing and editing at times, possesses a charm independent of the film. The ending theme song is sung by Michio Ogawa, a close friend since the Chakra days. The included booklet features the latest interviews with Katsuhiro Otomo, Hisashi Eguchi, Hiroyuki Kitakubo, and Fumio Itakura, making it an extremely valuable resource and a must-have definitive edition for fans of "Roujin Z"! 1CD High-quality Blu-spec CD2 specifications First edition only: Virtual analog single jacket (miniature version) for the theme song "Hashire Jitensha" Tracklist: 1.
