City Hunter Anime Vinyl OST

The soundtrack to the classic 1980’s anime City Hunter will be repressed on vinyl for the first time since its original release.

City Hunter is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tsukasa Hojo. It was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1985 to 1991 and collected into 35 tankobon volumes by its publisher Shueisha. The manga was adapted into an anime television series by Sunrise Studios in 1987.

The series follows the exploits of Ryo Saeba, a “sweeper” who is always found chasing beautiful girls and a private detective who works to rid Tokyo of crime, along with his associate or partner, Hideyuki Makimura. Their “City Hunter” business is an underground jack-of-all-trades operation, contacted by writing the letters “XYZ” on a blackboard at Shinjuku Station. One day, Hideyuki is murdered, and Ryo must take care of Hideyuki’s sister, Kaori, a tomboy who becomes his new partner in the process.

The series soundtrack was composed by the legendary Kow Otani and features vocals from a variety of prominent Japanese artists like Kahoru Kohiruimaki. This vinyl repress is available for pre-order now at the retailers below and will ship November 2023.
