The celebrated soundtrack for "Whisper of the Heart," recorded with an orchestra conducted by Yuji Nomi, is now available on limited edition black vinyl. The album features the film's main theme, "Country Road." "Whisper of the Heart" (Mimi wo Sumaseba) is a beloved animated film from Studio Ghibli, directed by Yoshifumi Kondo and released on July 15, 1995. Based on the 1989 manga by Aoi Hiiragi, the film was written by Hayao Miyazaki and is the first Ghibli film directed by someone other than Miyazaki or Takahata. This poignant tale, which introduced surrealist painter Naohisa Inoue to the studio team, reflects Kondo's unique vision before his untimely passing in 1998. The film remains a testament to his artistic legacy and Ghibli's storytelling.
