ANIMEmusic

Poor 12-year-old Naota has girl problems. His older brother's ex-girlfriend is hitting on him, while there's a strange alien girl also trying to hit him--literally--with her guitar. But that's the least of his worries, as a robot is starting to grow out of a bump on his forehead! Welcome to the quirky, disturbingly brilliant and unpredictable anime series 'Fooly Cooly.' Nothing can prepare you to experience this one-of-a-kind outrageous anime by Gainax (the creators of 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' and 'His and Her Circumstances') except perhaps 'Fooly Cooly Original Soundtrack 1.' A marriage of explosive guitar-driven lyrics and riffs by fan favorite J-Rock group 'The Pillows' and hip instrumentals by composer Shinkichi Mitsumune ('Love Hina Again' and 'Utena'), this awesome soundtrack simply rocks. Included in this CD are the J-Rock songs 'Ride on shooting star', 'One Life', 'Hybrid Rainbow' and 'Little Busters.'

ABOUT STARCHILD

Following its record label debut with “Mobile Suit Gundam Movie II: Soldiers of Sorrow” soundtrack, STARCHILD continued expanding its diverse music catalog with the release of hit anime series “Zillion” and “Samurai Troopers (Ronin Warriors),” to name just a few. Extending its focus toward animation
production and original video animation, STARCHILD invested and collaborated with animation production companies to create its own TV animation, such as “Blue Seed” in 1994, and the phenomenally successful “Neon Genesis Evangelion.” As the leading label of Japanese animation, STARCHILD continues to produce highly acclaimed titles, such as “Martian Successor Nadesico”, “Revolutionary Girl Utena” and “Love Hina.”
