“#Maaya Sakamoto Plans to Release Her 4th Concept Album "Duets" featuring Various Duet Songs”

As part of her debut 25th-anniversary project, voice actress/singer Maaya Sakamoto plans to release her fourth concept album "Duets." As the name suggests, she will duet with various singers in the album, including Hiroki Wada, who performed the ED theme song "MYSTIC EYES" for the TV anime The Vision of Escaflowne in 1996.

Sakamoto made her singer debut with "Yakusoku wa Iranai," the OP theme for The Vision of Escaflowne, in which she also voiced the protagonist girl Hitomi Kanzaki, in April 1996. So the two have a relationship that goes back 24 years. Since then, Wada has been very active as a composer and arranger under the name "h-wonder" and has written many songs for Sakamoto, but this is his first revival as a singer in 22 years. He stopped his career as a singer in June 1998 after releasing his seventh single "Kitto Daijoubu."

Her official website has been revealing the singers to perform with her in the "Duets" album one by one. The singers announced so far have included Asako Toki (Gurazeni: Money Pitch ED theme), Kohei Dojima (KochiKame 3rd OP theme), and Yumi Uchimura (la la larks vocalist). Further details including its release date will be announced at a later date.
