== Biography == Graduated from [[Kunitachi College of Music]], Department of Music Composition, Ōshima began her activities as a composer and arranger while in college, and has been involved in composing music for films, commercials, television programs, anime, ambient music, and tunes for classical musicians. She released the first Symphony entitled “Orasho” when she was still in college. Through her masterful manipulation of both orchestras and synthesizers, she has attracted attention from various sectors for creating grandiose, dramatic sounds, and beautiful melodies.
Ōshima was the youngest person to be awarded the 1st prize at [[International Electone Festival / International Electone Concours]] in 1977. Her other awards include the 52nd (1998) and 67th (2013) Mainichi Film Contest Award for Best Music, the 21st (1998), 24th (2001), 26th (2003), 27th (2004), 29th (2006), 30th (2007), and 38th (2016) [[Japan Academy Film Prize]] for Music, and the [[31st Japan Academy Prize]] for Best Score, [[Tokyo Anime Award]] for Best Music in 2006, Best Composer Award at Jackson Hole Film Festival 2007 (in the United States). Moreover, Ōshima has composed a large number of music for music festivals in France and [[Luxembourg]], stages in Belgium, or concerts in Japan and United States. She also recorded and conducted with orchestras, and musicians from all over the world such as the United States, Australia, France, Russia, Belgium, England, the Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, Italy, Hungary, and Bulgaria, including a concert "KAIJU CRESCENDO: AN EVENING OF JAPANESE MONSTER MUSIC" at the G-FEST XXVI (2020) in Chicago. Ōshima was one of the 27 composers for the album ‘In 27 Pieces: the Hilary Hahn Encores’ performed by violinist [[Hilary Hahn]] which was awarded a 2015 [[Grammy Award]] in the Best Chamber Music category (she composed “Memories”). She has been engaged in many governmental projects as well, such as music director at “40th Year of ASEAN-Japan” in 2013, in which she supervised and managed musicians in ASEAN ([[Association of Southeast Asian Nations]]) countries, organized concerts in ASEAN countries and composed music for the ASEAN Summit.
