This symphonic suite stands as a moving testament to the brilliance of their long-standing creative partnership.\n\n“While Miyazaki’s previous works featured a more grandiose, symphonic worldview, this time the protagonist’s personal perspective was much more prominent. Consequently, I reduced the number of instruments in the arrangement to make it more akin to chamber music. The first half depicts a lonely boy living in the real world, while the second half explores an imaginary world that is both heaven and hell.” (Joe Hisaishi)\n\n*Color Vinyl (Pearl Mystic Blue) 180g heavyweight\nUniversal Music\/IMS\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dg Deutsche Grammophon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419247763745,"sku":"28948786800","price":5490.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/28948786800.jpg?v=1788227583","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/28948786800","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
