Happy Monday everyone! This week I'm sharing some of my favorite tracks/ scenes from the movie Whisper of the Heart (1995). I watched the movie in the original Japanese a little while ago and absolutely fell in love with it. I'll admit that I was surprised how big of a role the song Country Roads plays in it. Check out the opening sequence featuring the Olivia Newton-John cover of the song, a really cool violin and string ensemble sequence from the movie (it's the English version of the scene though), and outstanding Japanese cover of the song featured in the movie that I didn't know I needed in my life:
I've been meaning to watch this movie. It seems like it has a great soundtrack too. Great picks! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was such a delight! I hope you enjoy when you pick it up.
DeleteWow this sounds cool. I was NOT expecting to hear Country Roads. :) Or Olivia Newton- John singing it. Double treat. Wow...
ReplyDeleteI had no idea what to expect from the movie, but it was a great surprise.
DeleteThis is such a lovely film. Honestly, I never expected to enjoy it as much as I did, but it's become one of my favourite Studio Ghibli pieces.
ReplyDeleteSame here!
DeleteNever seen the movie but these are good!
ReplyDeleteI can't recommend it enough!
DeleteI've seen the movie and really liked it. But I didn't remember this song! It's beautiful, thanks for sharing it.
