Famous for Paprika, Millennium Actress, and Tokyo Godfathers, director Satoshi Kon made his directorial debut with Perfect Blue: an animated psychological thriller adapted from the novel of the same name by Yoshikazu Takeuchi, which was produced by Madhouse, and premiered in 1998.

The disconnect between our self-image and how others see us is a theme that continues to resonate deeply with ordinary people across changing times. This global masterpiece expresses that theme through a jarring jumble of bright, energetic idol pop and the unsettling music of Masahiro Ikumi. Now, the soundtrack that captures the film's blend of fiction and reality returns as a brand-new remastered edition.
