Kumiko Osugi, Young Fresh

Artist

A pairing of Kumiko Osugi, a singer of many storybook anime themes, with the chorus group Young Fresh. For 'Piccolino no Bouken' they performed the opening 'Boku wa Piccolino,' voicing the innocence of a puppet longing to become human. On 'Fusen Shoujo Temple-chan' they handled both the opening 'Bokura wa Tabi no Ongakutai' and the same-titled ending, coloring the travel-themed story with warm vocals and gentle harmonies. Their clear, kind singing was well suited to children's animation.
