REVIEW

October 05, 2016

G.R.F. 039 is another in the Tohru Fuyuki Anthology collection. As with other CD's by this group there is a hidden track at the end, in this case two hidden tracks.. The CD only lists eight tracks but there is actually a hidden ninth and tenth track.

I have never had to the chance to see the films listed below in the track listing nor ever heard the original soundtracks. However, this group does a fine a cappella version that interests me enough to hopefully find some of the original soundtracks to compare.

Bukimisha CDs are available to non-Japanese buyers through BOOTH (The International Indie Art Marketplace) by using a proxy service or other intermediary: https://bukimisya-maal.booth.pm/
