Great write-up of this score. I haven't listened to it on album yet, but I'll be referring to your write-up when I do. I saw the film last week and thought Hisaishi's score was very effective, but not sure if it's going to translate into a top-tier effort on album for me. We shall see!

Thanks as ever for this series! It was exceptionally thorough, well-researched, well-written, and entertaining. I enjoyed it tremendously and found it extremely useful and helpful. I will be seeking out many of the non-soundtrack albums you recommended.
