> 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.

Thanks sir - both for the kind words here and the engaging responses throughout the series.

I am pleasantly surprised that I was able to give even one of the board's fellow Hisaishi obsessives something to discover.

Also a pleasant surprise - I made it until this post and no one gave me any grief for not getting to the scores that were too hard to find for a reasonable price, namely Welcome to Dongmakgol and The Postmodern Life of My Aunt.
