Watashi wa Praveen desu!
My two ichiban artists from Hong Kong and Japan.
Anita Mui Yim-fong
梅艷芳
The woman with the best contralto voice!
Yuko Takeuchi
竹内 結子
The woman with the best smile!
Apart from my deep love for these incredible women, another (unfortunate) similarity is that both tragically passed away at just 40 years old — Mui in 2003 and Yuko in 2020.Rest in heavenly peace, my Queens! ❤️

The last three tracks (from first three films of the series) are unavailable in my region, but this is how my ranking of "Hiten" soundtrack would stand.
