Yoko Kanno providing her voice and not composing the OST? I'm intrigued.

 

[Maltos]

As am i. Though i'm more intrigued by the "upcoming anime anthology by Studio 4C". I'm sure i should've heard about this before.

 

[chaos]

interesting though... I wonder what it will be like. I love her music, will I love her playing her part? Hope so...

Her voice can be quite... odd. Especially when she sings.

 

[chaos]

well, sometimes odd is good. I can't imagine daffy duck without that voice =)

Well take a listen and see what you think. I love this song.

 

[chaos]

well, I think that if she was correctly cast, it will be awesome =D

Is it bad that I read the title as Yoko Kanno to be seiyuu in Genius Panty Shot?

If she and Gabriela Robin are indeed one and the same as rumour suggests it'll be alright I think. I find it hard to believe that an accomplished musician and songwriter can't actually sing (cool link BTW, Sy).

I'm still hoping that the first Genius Party compilation will get a DVD release or something though. 4 degrees C are a shockingly underrated studio.
