Paprika Original Soundtrack is the soundtrack for the 2006 film, Paprika and was released on November 23, 2006 under the TESLAKITE label. It was composed by Susumu Hirasawa. A bonus movie was included on the CD, using the closing theme to Paprika.
The last track, "The Girl in Byakkoya", features three spoken lines in Vietnamese.
The soundtrack is significant for being the first made for a film to use a Vocaloid (Lola as the "voicebank") for some vocals.[1][2] It's also the last of Hirasawa' albums where an Amiga computer was used, all MIDI was sequenced through an Amiga 4000 running the Bars'n'Pipes program.
