Fujiko’s Fairy Tale (Fujiko=a japanese girl name meaning ”A child of winter”) is a voyage through mythology depicted in japanese manga/anime art where dragons, ghost-cats and magical super beigns rule the reality. In the music one can hear oriental influences combined with hiphop and dance beats and more traditonal contemporary concert music with a hint of the soundscapes from the videogames of the 1980’s and 90’s.
