Mina Kubota: Post-Yoko Kanno?

I have no idea what the “Post” prefix means in musical terms. Post-rock doesn’t sound too much like rock afterall. Now we have an artist who, according to CDJapan/Neowing, has been dubbed “Post-Yoko Kanno” or the “female Ryuichi Sakamoto/Joe Hisaishi”. Her name is Mina Kubota. I have no idea why she has to be named as the female version of Sakamoto and Hisaishi, unless it shows in her music. Maybe calling her “Post-Yoko Kanno” is just a marketing move. Well I’m sure writing about it :P

To listen to her music, here are a few sites that have samples of her work:

Last FM
Imeem - Sora no Theme
Imeem - Ready for the Challenge
Imeem - Romeo and Juliet

It’s not any of the stuff that made Kanno stand out from the rest, but it’s still good stuff :)

    She composed the soundtracks for Kannazuki no Miko, Kyoshirou to Towa no Sora and Kagihime Monogatari…I really like all of them ^-^ There’s really something in her song that make you feel the atmosphere of anime
