With all that being said about Kensuke Ushio, I love Summer’s End so much, I preordered it last month on vinyl, and I don’t even own a record player. I guess I’ll have to change that by December 😅
His works I enjoy just as much as the animation/story, and in cases such as Cocoon: One Summer of Girlhood, I enjoy even more than the animation/story.
I should pay better attention to who the composer of anime film/shows soundtracks are. Even if I enjoy them, they usually take a backseat to the actual animation/stories. I’m absolutely in love with Kensuke Ushio works. I don’t think I’ve ever had a favorite until now.
Look into the composer’s other works. After the film there was a lengthy interview with Kensuke Ushio. To my amazement, he was also the composer for the soundtracks for Reze Arc and A Silent Voice. So my musical ear did not fail me lol
I saw Cocoon: One Summer of Girlhood, Saturday in the cinema. The soundtrack of the trailer was enough to convince me to see it. Imo, the film was pretty good, but the soundtrack was amazing. I thought it sounded oddly familiar(the style). Having a musical ear, I decided to…
“In the Pool” from Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc original soundtrack -summer’s end- imo is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed. I can’t help but get emotional when I hear it.
…because I never know when I’ll find one I’ve been sleeping on unless I see them for myself. Some, I’ve grown quite fond of; to name a few: Princess Mononoke, Ponyo, My Neighbor Totoro, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Spirited Away, The Boy and the Heron.
Howl’s Moving Castle was my first introduction into Studio Ghibli. It’s one of my favorites, seeing it late one night years ago on a movie channel, most likely Showtime(maybe, can’t really remember). I was probably 18-20 at the time. Tho some aren’t my cup of tea, I still go…
…the 3rd year straight). Since I took a chance on Your Name, I looked up the trailer to A Silent Voice. It looked really good, not to mention the soundtrack(which I’ll touch on later). Glad I’ve taken more chances on things normally outside of my usual taste.
Reason I decided to see A Silent Voice; saw it was playing the day before Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, which I’ve already seen once if not twice at least, but I always go when a Ghibli film plays outside of Ghibli Fest(I’ve went to every film the past 2 years, this being..
The reason I went and saw Your Name; I no longer have YouTube Premium and they kept showing the trailer. I finally payed attention to it due to the music catching my attention. I looked up the synapse and it intrigued me. Ended up being a great decision.
Went to the cinema today to see A Silent Voice for the first time ever. I was able to fight back tears at least until the ride home when I saw Your Name last month. I was unable to do the same today.
@fallenshadow_YT@LeeandLie o7 my deluxe Shondo figure, and I just updated my shipping address a few weeks ago. Never got a confirmation email, unlike when I updated my shipping address with Phase Connect Store the same day and received a confirmation email from them.
