Zombie Land Saga

Released

The soundtrack to this unorthodox idol anime starts off with a death metal song screamed by one of the seven zombies that makes up J-pop idol group Franchouchou (a group of women from throughout the history of Saga reanimated to save their backwater Prefecture – don’t worry about it) but quickly transitions into the girl group pop songs the genre is known for. Each member gets their chance to shine as the show (and album) runs through the different eras of idol-dom, making this both an effective sendup and a blast to listen to in its own right. There’s even a zombie rap battle!
