Music is the backbone of every anime, but rarely is it so deeply incorporated into the fabric of a movie or series than in the way that Kensuke Ushio crafts his soundtracks. Composers working in anime tend to create all of the music in one go and then hand it off to the director and sound director to score each song to a scene, but Ushio often works hand in hand with directors. We got to talk with Ushio about his work with Masaaki Yuasa in the new anime Japan Sinks 2020.
Masaaki Yuasa's next TV anime series, Japan Sinks 2020, launches on Netflix on July 9 with a worldwide release.
