Nana Akiyama Covers Hashiru

There seems to be an abundance of Yoko Kanno covers recently. Another cover that flew under our radar is Nana Akiyama’s cover of Hashiru in her fourth single, “Onaji Hoshi” (roughly translates to “Twin Star“). The song was originally performed by Maaya Sakamoto in her second album entitled Dive.

Listen to song samples of Onaji Hoshi in Neowing. It sounds perkier than the original. I have yet to listen to the full version to make a proper review of the cover :)
