Sanae Kobayashi

Artist

Sanae Kobayashi is a Japanese female voice actress. With a soft, transparent voice and an expressive range that lets her play everything from dainty girls to strong-willed heroines, she has appeared in many TV anime and game works. In the anime 'Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito' she played the main character Lilith, and as an extension of that role she sang the ending theme 'Eien no Inori wo Sasagete'. She carefully renders the aesthetic and bittersweet atmosphere of this work, which centers on forbidden love and prayers to fate, with singing imbued with a voice actress's special feel for emotional expression. Her restrained delivery, as if gently drawing close to the character's inner life, produces an impressive ending that deepens the lyricism of the work's world.
