Joe Hisaishi – Princess Mononoke (Ltd Edn Soundtrack Vinyl 2LP)

For the first time, the soundtrack for the 1997 animated classic Princess Mononoke will be available on vinyl. And not just in one form, either — Studio Ghibli and Norman Records are releasing three different editions of the soundtrack on July 24, 2020.

As The Vinyl Factory notes, these include the original score by composer Joe Hisaishi as it appeared on film; a 1998 symphonic suite that Hisaishi arranged for performance by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra; and the promotional “Image” album, common in Japan, in which actors perform songs as their characters to give a sense of their personalities.
