Joe Hisaishi – The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
Joe Hisaishi’s score for The Tale of the Princess Kaguya is one of his most delicate and emotionally resonant works, composed for Studio Ghibli’s acclaimed adaptation of the classic Japanese folktale.
Blending traditional instrumentation with lyrical orchestral themes, the music mirrors the film’s hand-painted aesthetic and contemplative tone. Presented here across two LPs in a gatefold sleeve, this edition is an essential release for fans of film music and Studio Ghibli.
