So I didn't quite know what to think when they said Tamiya Terashima was doing the music for Gedo Senki, the new Ghibli movie animated by Hayao Miyazaki's son (I don't remember his name). I bought it anyway and it's rather good. It's true to the standard Ghibli quality in terms of music; a little bit darker and heavier and has quite a few tones of Celtic instrumentation in some parts (bagpipes and whatnot). The vocalist for this movie is really good. From what I read on IMDB she's only 19 and was supposed to star in the 2008 Ghibli movie, but Miyazaki liked her so much she bumped her up. She has a really good voice (you can hear the movie title song if you go to the website, it's really good. The 'Poetry' album as it's called, is all her on vocals singing songs.

Really calming voice. No Hisaishi is always a bad thing in my book but this is still definitely Ghibli worthy.jb. Can't stand to see this thread linger without reply as I'm pretty psyched about this score I've been a huge fan of Terashima since his Ys arranging days, although I confess to not having heard his stuff since.Hope to chime in with something of more substance after seeing the film, which should be in the next week or two. Unfortunately I've heard from a Japanese friend that the plot's hard to follow. 頑張る!(笑 When is it slated to make it stateside anyway?Not sure on the stateside release but I've gone to NYC to see all the premiers for Ghibli movies the last couple years, it will probably be in a few months.There is a good synopsis on Le Guin's site about it (I think it's a translation of the original synopsis sent to her). A question about this soundtrack, and Korean soundtracks in general.
Is the Korean version of the 'Tales from Earthsea' soundtrack legit? There are pictures, and.Well, about the movie, I'm sure to want to see it, since I very much enjoyed the original Earthsea trilogy by le Guin when I read it some eight years ago, and I trust this movie will be of the outstanding Ghibli quality, as well.It has a Pony Canyon logo on the back cover so it should be the official Korean release (which is distributed by Pony Canyon). And as far as I know there aren't a lot Korean bootleg cds around. Not like in Taiwan or anything.
(dvds is another issue though.).
