Akiko Kosaka has started a YouTube channel and is uploading video of her playing songs on piano, mainly Sailor Moon related! For those that aren’t familiar with her, she composed nearly all the music in the original run of musicals, as well as songs for the 90s anime, Crystal and was working on the Prism on Ice show.
So far she has done:
- Tuxedo Mirage - the linked video. As many of you know, it is the ending to Sailor Moon S.
- Anata - an original song she wrote in 1974, when she was 16, and became quite famous in Japan.
- Densetsu Seitan (Birth of a Legend) - the theme song for Sailor Stars and its Winter revised edition. It also reappears in Summer 97, Winter 98, Spring 02 and Winter 04 musicals.
- Minna Dareka ni Aisarete (Everyone is Loved By Somebody) - the closing song of all Kaguya Island musicals. It shares the melody of LINK, which it seems she plays a little bit at the beginning before Minna in the video!
