KAKO

Artist

KAKO is a female singer who performed 'TAKE,' the opening theme of the TV anime 'Shingu: Secret of the Stellar Wars (Gakuen Senki Muryou),' a sci-fi juvenile work directed by Tatsuo Sato and broadcast on NHK-BS2's satellite anime block. With lyrics by Satomi Arimori and composition and arrangement by Yuji Ohno, the composer widely known for the 'Lupin the Third' scores and many other film and anime works, the song pairs her smart, stylish vocal with a jazzy, urbane backing. The polished opening sits well alongside the show's blend of everyday school life and otherworldly events, and is remembered as one of the more distinctively textured anime themes of its time, often cited by fans of Ohno's work.
