Akino Arai CD discography

This discography lists the CDs on which Akino Arai has the lead vocal in a song. I do NOT include CDs in which Arai was only the composer, lyricist or a chorus singer (such as in some of the Zabadak CDs). This list is FAR from complete; I am still adding information. So far, I am listing only the songs that she sang; I may include complete tracklists if I get such requests.

These albums are listed in alphabetical order.

3. Yakusoku (from the anime "Windaria") (4:52)

This is an interesting French compilation. It apparently gives a crash course in Japanese life and culture, with rather detailed information on the Japanese writing system, sake, hanko, onsens, ofuro, okyu, mimikaki, omiai, Shinto, even softball. Also has profiles on each of the artists featured in this album.

This CD is a "CD-extra," meaning it has a video component that can be viewed on your computer. I haven't watched the clip, nor can I read French, so I don't know what the clip consists of.
