is the soundtrack to the 2006 film Paprika and was released on November 23, 2006 under the TESLAKITE label. It was composed by Susumu Hirasawa. A bonus movie was included with the CD.
The soundtrack is notable for being one of the first film scores to use Vocaloid (Lola as the "voicebank") for vocals.[1] [2] It's also the last of Hirasawa's albums where an Amiga computer was used for composition. All MIDI was sequenced through an Amiga 4000 running the Bars n Pipes program.
"Parade" was originally released on the album Byakkoya - White Tiger Field. "The Girl in Byakkoya - White Tiger Field" is a slight rerecording of that album's title track.
