Rie Ohashi

Artist

Rie Ohashi is a female vocalist active in anime theme songs and insert songs. For the fantasy battle work Queen's Blade: The Exiled Virgin, she performed the opening theme Get the Door. The theme songs and score for this show were notable for being recorded entirely with live instruments, including a string quartet, acoustic guitar, drums, bass, and electric guitar, a rare approach in anime music. Ohashi rode that raw and powerful live-instrument arrangement to dramatically usher in the warriors' tournament. The scale created by the balance between the band sound and her vocals adds depth to the world of the series.
