Artist

Yanase Natsumi is a performer active as a voice actress and singer. In the Shaft-produced TV anime 'ef - a tale of memories.', she played the heroine Chihiro Shindou and performed the series' ending theme 'Sora no Yume' under the Chihiro Shindou character name. With lyrics by Mikage and composition and arrangement by Eiichiro Yanagi, the song embraced the delicate story of the minori-based source and Shaft's visual expression, shaping a striking ending. With singing that mirrored the inner world of the character she played, she delivered expression that blended deeply into the work's atmosphere.
