For Mirai specifically, this dreamy aesthetic was mixed with a contemporary sound and made to be simple in tone and be reflective of family.Mirai is available as a limited edition of 500 numbered copies on turquoise coloured vinyl and includes a 4-page booklet.

De Japanse componist Masakatsu Takagi schreef de betoverende soundtrack voor de gelijknamige animatiefilm Mirai. Zijn muziek vangt op meesterlijke wijze de kinderlijke verwondering en de emotionele reis die centraal staan in het verhaal. De composities variëren van speelse, minimalistische pianomelodieën tot dromerige soundscapes met subtiele elektronische texturen. Takagi's werk weerspiegelt de thema's van familie, tijd en avontuur met een hartverwarmende en vaak melancholische ondertoon. De soundtrack staat volledig op eigen benen als een coherent en fantasierijk muzikaal verhaal. Muzikaal beweegt dit album zich op het snijvlak van Original Soundtrack, Ambient en Modern Classical. De sfeervolle composities, gedragen door piano en subtiele elektronica, roepen associaties op met het werk van Joe Hisaishi voor Studio Ghibli. 180 gram audiofiel vinyl Turquoise gekleurd vinyl Inclusief boekje
