Thank you! Indeed as a fan of Eva, it's admittedly nice to hear she thinks of the show foremost when performing CAT. Wonderful performer, so glad to hear she's doin well and plans to keep singing

That's neat how she still tries to find the time to hang out with Megumi Ogata and Megumi Hayashibara.

I saw her recently at the Evangelion concert in Dallas. She performed Cruel Angel's Thesis and other songs from the series. I was really impressed at how enthusiastic she still seemed about the song and the whole fandom after so many years. She clearly tried to make the songs sound as close to the original soundtracks as possible. For thirty years later I'd say she did a great job. She really showed her enjoyment and commitment to the whole community. It was pretty great.

Typo, the following sentence appears duplicated in the article:

Quote:
When I told King Records I got approval, they offered to let me sing the opening theme song as well.


Other songs by Yoko Takahashi that I recommend include:

魂のルフラン (Soul's refrain)
心よ原始に戻れ (Return to Primitive Heart)
from Evangelion: Death and Rebirth

metamorphose from This Ugly Yet Beautiful World

夜明け生まれ来る少女 (Yoake Umarekuru Shoujo) from Shakugan no Shana
