Tiger Lab Vinyl just let slip via their Twitter that they will be releasing Masahiro Ikumi‘s score to the Japanese psychological thriller/horror anime Perfect Blue. This marks the first time that the score has been released on this format, from what I can see.
Perfect Blue was directed by Satoshi Kon, who also directed “Paranoia Agent” and Paprika. The film follows, “A retired pop-singer-turned-actress [whose] sense of reality is shaken when she is stalked by an obsessed fan and seemingly a ghost of her past.” The film, which has been likened to something one would see from Alfred Hitchcock, was critically acclaimed upon release and made several end-of-year lists in 1997. Director Darren Aronofsky cited it as an inspiration for his 2010 thriller Black Swan.
It’s not yet been announced when Perfect Blue will go up for pre-order but keep an eye on Tiger Lab’s official website in case it suddenly springs up!
And us for Perfect Blue! https://t.co/QQROyrweC6
