Review by Carl Demers

Anime Toonz Presents Kikuko Inoue is a fascinating album that showcases the vocal talents of Kikuko Inoue, a renowned Japanese voice actress. Produced by Various, the album features a collection of anime theme songs and character songs that Inoue has performed over the years.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy theme song of the anime series "Ah! My Goddess," which Inoue voiced the main character, Belldandy. The song sets the tone for the rest of the album, which is a mix of sentimental ballads, pop tunes, and rock anthems. Inoue's voice is clear and powerful, and she effortlessly transitions between different styles and emotions.

One of the highlights of the album is the song "Kaze no Tadori Tsuku Basho," which is the ending theme of the anime series "Please Teacher!" Inoue's vocals are particularly moving in this song, and the lyrics are touching and poignant.

Another standout track is "Koi no Mikuru Densetsu," which is a character song from the anime series "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya." Inoue's performance perfectly captures the quirky and energetic personality of the character Mikuru Asahina.
