Musical Monday: “A Town with an Ocean View” (Kiki’s Delivery Service), composed by Joe Hisaishi

This week’s piece is the warm, beautiful “A Town with an Ocean View”, from Kiki’s Delivery Service. It is as good as you would expect a Studio Ghibli soundtrack to be.

Below, I’ve linked two different versions:

• The Youtube video and the first Spotify link are the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s performance from 2023.
• The second Spotify link is from the 1989 soundtrack collection.

Enjoy!
