Yoko Takahash

高橋 洋子 is a Japanese singer, composer and songwriter who creates popular music, jazz and anisong.

Music has accompanied her throughout her life. She began her adventure at the age of two, learning to play the piano from her father. While in elementary school, she attended the Takinogawa choir. At the age of 10, she participated in an album depicting the works of Osamu Tezuka. In high school she was a member of a band. At university, she was active in a music club and aspired to become an opera singer. Together with members of the music club, she founded the band Yau Power. In 1986, the band participated in the first CSPC , a competition organized by Kitty Records, and won a prize. In 1987, she won an audition for the choral group "LOVE MACHINE," which supported Toshinobu Kubota's "Groovin'" tour.

Before her major label debut, she performed as a chorus singer who accompanied artists such as Toshinobu Kubota, Yumi Matsutoyi, Wink, Miki Imai and Yuki Saito. During this period, she began working on her career as a singer. As a studio musician, she created music for commercials and soundtracks.

In 1991, she made her debut as a ballad singer with the song "P.S. I miss you."

In 1992, she won the 34th Japan Record Award for Best Newcomer for her song "Once more I miss you." That same year, she also won the Rookie of the Year Award at the 25th Japan Cable Awards for her song "P.S. I miss you."

In 1995, she studied music in Los Angeles, USA. After returning to Japan, she teamed up with Toshiyuki Omori, who decided to participate in a cover project of the theme song "Fly Me to the Moon" for Neon Genesis Evangelion. Thanks to the suggestion of Toshimichi Ohtsuki (King Records), she sang the song "Cruel Angel's Thesis."

Her voice will be heard not only in the Evangelion series, but also in "Ranma 1/2" (where she created under the pseudonymYAWMIN) and "All-powerful Culture Catgirls" ( YAUMIN).

In 2000, she became an freelancer. In the meantime, she worked as a caregiver. The artist recalls this time as a period when she withdrew from the entertainment industry. However, she did not completely suspend her entertainment activities. When invited, she appeared on television, recorded and performed live.

Whenever someone walks in on me and my shows.

Have some Futaba before I go to bed. This was way harder than Nuku Nuku; because of the stupid bubbles, I had to hand-draw masking. Brought back memories of making wallpapers.

(Speaking from experience, stitching cel anime in general is more difficult than with CG, because analog is irregular that it's hard to match up.)

Atsuko Nakajima from Bannô Bunka Nekomusume

I used to draw her all the time in my teen years. I love many of Yuzo Takada's mangas but this one along with the anime/ovas are from my favourites.

Kinda goes with this pic from Birdy I did yesterday. I'm thinking on doing Lina from Slayers and Lime from Saber Marionette this way too and probably more old school anime chars =)
