The release date for the original soundtrack of the film “5 Centimeters per Second” by Ezaki Fumitake (WONK) has been announced.
The soundtrack will be released in three forms: CD/digital (released/distributed on Wednesday, October 8th) and analog records (released on Saturday, November 1st), and is said to be a collection of works that express a beautiful, yet delicate, and ephemeral worldview through music.
The theatrical animation “5 Centimeters per Second,” released in 2007, is Shinkai Makoto’s third commercial release, following “The Hoshinokoe” and “The Promised Place, Beyond the Clouds.” The poetic worldview, which is decorated with visual beauty, music and distinctive lines, is highly regarded as the origin of the Shinkai world, where sentimentalism is condensed, and is still loved not only in Japan but around the world, even now, more than 17 years after its release.
The live-action film for this film is Okuyama Yoshiyuki, a film director and photographer who has been attracting high praise and attention both domestically and internationally at the young age of 34. The lead role is Matsumura Hokuto (SixTONES), a talented actor who was selected to play Munakata Sota in Shinkai Makoto’s “The Sparrow’s Door Stop” and has continued to appear in works by famous creators in live-action films. The song in the movie will feature Yamazaki Masayoshi’s “One more time, One more chance – Theatrical live-action film “5 Centres per Second” Remaster” as well as the theme song and insert song from the original.
