Japanese veteram seiyuu and vocalist Maaya Sakamoto is celebrating her 25th anniversary in the industry with a new best album Single Collection+ Achikochi which will be released July 15! Single Collection+ Achikochi will be Maaya-san’s sixth best album overall and the fourth best album in her Single Collection series of releases. She is known for not just her music and collaborations with famous composer Yoko Kanno but also many of her notable seiyuu roles: Aura in the .hack//sign franchise, Lunamaria Hawke in Gundam SEED Destiny, Nino in Arakawa Under the Bridge, Leila Malcal in the Code Geass franchise, Mari in the Neon Genesis Evangelion movies, Hitomi Kanz in the Escaflowne movie, and Akito Souma in Fruits Basket (2019), among more. Single Collection+ Achikochi comes hot on the heels of Maaya-san’s latest studio album Kyou Dake no Ongaku which was released last November.

Single Collection+ Achikochi will include singles released from 2013 to this year as well as unreleased songs and rare tracks on CD for the first time. There will be a total of 25 tracks such as her latest digital release “CLOVER”, used for the anime Arte; the Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card Hen smart phone game and anime themes “Flash” and “CLEAR”; the insert songs that were used in the popular anime Wolf’s Rain “Cloud 9” and “tell me what the rain knows”; and a newly recorded version of “Watashie”. Also included will be several tracks featuring Maaya-san and several cover songs she participated in.

Single Collection+ Achikochi will be released in two editions: a 2-CD standard edition and a 2-CD + Blu-ray limited edition. The 2-CD track listing will remain the same for both editions. The Blu-ray included with the limited edition will come with the music videos that were released after 2013, live footage from Open Air Museum 2017 which was performed at Itsukushima Shrine, and footage of Maaya in 2019 Flying Dog 10th Anniversary live “Inu Fes” for a total of 2 hours and 30 mins of runtime footage! With all the extras included with this release, you don’t want to miss out. The pre-order links are below along with the track listing and Maaya-san’s latest music video!
