Coming into three parts, the soundtrack of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli’s beloved Princess Mononoke is coming to vinyl for the first time since the release of the movie in 1997.

The score, composed by Joe Hisaishi, will see its release in three parts: Princess Mononoke (Symphonic Suite) recorded with the Czech Philharmonic in 1998, Princess Mononoke (Soundtrack) with the Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra and the main theme song with vocals by Yoshikazu Mera, and Princess Mononoke (Image Album), a project recorded prior to the official soundtrack that’s based on the notes of Miyazaki.

All three titles are scheduled to release on July 24. Head over to Norman Records if you’d like to pre-order.

PRE-ORDER: Joe Hisaishi – ‘Princess Mononoke’ (Imports)⁣ ⁣ Good news Studio Ghibli fans, as the incredible score to the classic animation film is coming to three separate vinyl versions!⁣ ⁣ ‘Princess Mononoke’ is often considered one of the greatest achievements in animated film and movies in general, in part thanks to Joe Hisaishi’s gorgeously cinematic score which marries classical, new age and ceremonious Japanese folk. ⁣ ⁣ The symphonic version sees the score performed as a suite with the Czech Philharmonic, the soundtrack album includes the full 62-minute score, whilst the image vinyl was recorded before the soundtrack edit using Miyazaki’s image notes. All are remastered. ⁣ ⁣ #joehisaishi #princessmononoke #studioghibli #anime #hayaomiyazaki #animation #animesoundtrack #filmsoundtrack #filmscore #ost #soundtrack #moviescore #animescore #classical #modernclassical #postclassical #orchestral #japanesemusic #kagura #newage #classicalmusic #studioghiblinews #vinylnews #musicnews #vinyl #recordstore #ukrecordstore #onlinerecordstore #NormanRecords
