I have to tip my space helmet to Joe Hisaishi for the incredible scores he comes up with. "The Destruction of Laputa" from Castle in the Sky is among my favorites. I don't know what it is about inaudible vocals, but they always get to me. It was this and other films that introduced me to Anime, of which I've found many great shows (and tracks) since.
I hope you enjoyed the music. Thank you for stopping by!
I'm David, and whatever you do, don't say "Balse" (oops!)!
I don't believe I've ever seen that film.
ReplyDeleteI love your theme. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love your theme to and Laputa: Castle in the Sky is one of my favourite animes. The scores are beautiful and add to the enjoyment of the film. This is my first A - Z challenge too and my theme is Beloved Books from my childhood. I hope you have a great month xx
ReplyDeleteLaputa's my favorite Miyazaki film (wondering if you saw the Wind Rises and if yes your opinion?), have you seen the Gorillaz' Feel Good Inc video? Obviously a homage. ;) Or Leiji Matsumoto's Interstella 5555? Genius.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite game soundtrack is probably the one to Panzer Dragoon Saga, and, a VERY close second, the soundtrack to Journey, by Austin Wintory. Been a while since a game made me tear up like that at the end.
This is so going on my writing playlist. I came to anime through lesser quality stuff, but found my way to the good stuff eventually.

"The Destruction of Laputa" is beautiful. I got goosebumps!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you let us listen to this beautiful music. It's so good I'll have to come back and listen to it again.
ReplyDeleteBest,

NOIR introduced me to anime -- and led me to CASTLE IN THE SKY and to THE LAST EXILE among others. Great track as always.
ReplyDeleteYes, beautiful music!
ReplyDeleteI liked the score but I hadn't heard about that movie.
ReplyDeleteCool theme! Hope it gets you back to your blogging!

Awee.... that was just Bliss!! So glad you shared it... :)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard it before...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou are single-handedly compiling a writing playlist for me. Thank you!!!!
ReplyDeletewell now- so far I like this music the best- and now have two movies I will have to check out on Netflix! Cheers- have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way about inaudible vocals. Reminds me of that ending scene in the movie Glory.
ReplyDeleteI had me kids watch this movie, and they loved it!
So beautiful! Thank you for sharing :)

That is an absolutely beautiful track. One of my favorites is The King from the Kingdom of Heaven score. I could listen to that all day.

So many gems in the anime soundtrack/score universe! I've found some favorites among Final Fantasy, Escaflowne, and Genocyber. It's also paved the path to some great game scores, such as Fatal Frame and Silent Hill. I can never get enough music. Great topic for the challenge! :)

Ah, that was so nice! I have to admit, it is funny when people think they know the words to the song, and are singing loud and proud, only to get the words wrong, because they never heard them correctly in the first place.

Huh, haven't heard of that game. Love the song, though.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Castle In The Sky... is this a movie???? Anyway, I enjoyed the music. Very relaxing. Maybe something like this on repeat at bedtime???
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, this song. I love this song and pretty much every song from every one of Hayao Miyazaki's films. Castle in the Sky sits somewhere around #8-12 on my list of favorite movies (behind other Miyazaki films mostly).
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen that in a while.
ReplyDeleteNew to me. Loved it. Your theme is awesomesauce.
ReplyDeleteCool song! I write to music like this all the time.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. That was beautiful as each new layer of harmony was added. Wow. I like all these great themes people are doing. Quite clever!

I like that one the best so far. Unique and interesting theme for the A to Z challenge, David.
ReplyDeleteThis music is so soothing. I see why you like it David.
ReplyDeleteHaven't watched this one. Thanks for sharing this. Love the music.
ReplyDeleteI love anime music, I tend to listen to a lot of it while I write. It's always so emotional.
ReplyDeleteI remember that movie! It was a good one.
ReplyDeleteI think I was confusing this with Howl's Moving Castle. This is a great track and makes me want to check out this anime.
ReplyDeleteI've been an anime fan for a long time. Starting with Akira and Vampire Hunter D. From there I've experienced a good handful, but I know I am missing huge gaps of great anime.
Thanks for sharing this, man! It's great :)

I haven't seen much anime, but the stuff I've seen I've loved. Namely Trigun and Cowboy Bebop. :)
ReplyDeleteThis song is lovely!
