Mitsuko Horie, Columbia Yurikago Kai

Artist

A collaboration between Mitsuko Horie, hailed as the 'Queen of Anime Song', and the children's chorus Columbia Yurikago-kai. Her crystalline voice blended with the children's singing to color the warm worlds of Showa-era anime. The duo is known for the opening 'Hello Lalabelle' and ending 'Mahou Shoujo Lalabelle' of the magical-girl series 'Mahou Shoujo Lalabelle', the opening 'Majokko Chickle' and ending 'Chickle Chico no Cha Cha Cha' of the magical-girl show 'Majokko Chickle', the ending 'Warera no Inochi Soron-gou' of the robot anime 'Hyouga Senshi Guyslugger', and the opening 'Nekome Kozo' of the horror series 'Youkaiden Nekome Kozo'. Horie also lent her voice, alongside Koorogi '73 and Young Fresh, to 'Bokura Kyoudai Tentoumushi', the opening of Tatsunoko Production's 'Tentoumushi no Uta', leaving her mark across a wide range of works.
