1988's Akira takes place in 2019 before the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Was Otomo clairvoyant??? Well... maybe not, but it's the perfect time to dig into the unique music of Akira to see how it matches Otomo's vision!

Edit: well... just like in Akira, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics didn't happen because of a major catastrophe 😬
Also that Hollywood adaptation has been cancelled ᵒʰ ⁿᵒ ʰᵒʷ ˢᵃᵈ ᶦ'ᵐ ˢᵒ ᵈᶦˢᵃᵖᵖᵒᶦⁿᵗᵉᵈ
