Ohara Sakurako made her breakthrough as an actress and singer by starring opposite Sato Takeru in the movie “The Liar and His Lover” last year. She was chosen among 5,000 applicants who auditioned for the female lead role due to her exceptional singing voice that was honed through years of classical music education. For her role in the movie, she won the 23rd Japan Movie Critics Awards as Best New Actress. Her most recent project is the role of the heroine in the spring drama “Suikyu Yankees”.

In the movie, she played as part of the band MUSH & CO and has released singles under the band name or under Ohara Sakurako (from MUSH & CO). Her new release is being treated as her first solo single, under just her own name. The new single “Thank You” will be released on November 26. Song is produced by Kame Seiji, former Tokyo Jihen’s bassist. Ohara will also be holding several live performances and high touch events starting October 18, covering mostly university venues.
