The Wind Rises Original Soundtrack – Joe Hisaishi 2LP Vinyl

Hayao Miyazaki's The Wind Rises gets a sweeping, heartfelt score from Joe Hisaishi, performed by the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra. Hisaishi colors the orchestra with folk instruments like the balalaika and bayan, and the music drifts between romance, ambition, and quiet longing as it follows Jiro's dream of flight and his love story with Nahoko. The 32 tracks span three sides and end with Yumi Arai's moving theme song, "Hikoki Gumo." This 2021 Studio Ghibli Records set was the soundtrack's first vinyl release. The fourth side has no music and carries a laser-etched character design instead, making it as much a display piece as a listening one. It's a beautiful collectible for Ghibli and film score fans.
