Perfect Blue (Original Score)

Satoshi Kon’s psychological thriller Perfect Blue relies on this haunting score to blur the lines between reality and Mima’s fractured identity. The music acts as a character itself, shifting from ethereal pop melodies into jarring, industrial-tinged nightmares that mirror the protagonist's descent into madness.

Masahiro Ikumi crafted these tracks to capture the claustrophobic tension of the late nineties idol culture scene. The production leans heavily into cold, synthetic textures and unsettling vocal samples, creating a soundscape that feels just as disorienting today as it did upon the film's original release.
