Caveat Emptor. I strongly suggest that you preview each of these tracks before buying the album. Hisaishi is considerably more experimental and minimalist here than he typically is. Anyone expecting the standard lush, cinematic, tuneful, Studio Ghibli fare may find themselves disappointed.

You did it again, Studio Ghilbli! What a stunning soundtrack from Joe Hisaishi, I would say his 2nd best work yet! (The first being the Spirited Away soundtrack)
