Okubukako’s famous and popular songs
Let me introduce songs by singer-songwriter Hanako Oku, who made her major debut in 2005 after performing street live shows.
Hanako Oku is known for her beautiful, charming voice, and her song “Garnet” was used as the theme song for the film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, perfectly matching the movie’s atmosphere.
While she primarily performs in a keyboard or piano-and-vocals style, she actually majored in trumpet at a music university during her college years.
Although she usually doesn’t play the trumpet at live shows, it seems she performs the trumpet herself in the instrumental break of “Niji no Mieru Ashita e.”
That song is also included in this playlist, so please take a listen to her rare trumpet performance.
