Hi there! Been a long time. A lot of things change after moving away from college so I apologize for barely any uploads.
I still love doing this, but among other things I love, my available time doesn't permit me to do all sadly and as I lacked content to upload, this thing got sidelined unfortunately, and I am not sure myself if I would be able to go back to my original upload schedule.
But, enough about the life crisis talk, lets talk about the music!
I was one of the more "disappointed" fellows coming out of the theatre finishing the watch, for me the movie was basically a copy of similar previous works. But, that said, I absolutely loved the ending of this movie, and I do mean "LOVED"! And the reason was this scene and this track.
Most people would agree that the main theme track of this show is pretty catchy, at least the "ru ru ru ru" part of that track, and what this soundtrack builds up on is specifically that part. The piano is just so damn emotional, and whats better is how well the different sections of that piano tune fit to the scene in the movie, with each section uplifting the emotions from sadness to hope.
The track starts right off with the piano theme with a little bit of ambient sound in the background. The piano is simple, but sounds extremely good and for natural reasons, fitting to the movie. This first piano section is a slow and deep pitched version of the theme. The ambient sounds set up a little bit of something like climax + suspense if that sounds right, and the piano just builds up the overall emotional hit of the track.
Then the piano comes up again at 0:40 right when the prologue ends and it goes into a bit higher pitch with more additional notes in it filling up the gaps compared to the prologue part. And accompanying this are a nice set of cellos which really start putting the emotional aspects into the track. The track builds up quite a bit to 1:02 and then quickly goes down again.
However there is a sort of interesting noise in the track which keeps fluctuating in background (upto 1:30) while pianos and cellos (pianos mainly) fill up the this transitioning section when the track transitions into its main climax phase.
From 1:27, the track does a very short buildup upto 1:35 which is when the main section of the track kicks in. The piano still plays the main theme with a bit deeper notes compared to previous section, but both cellos and violins accompany it this time with full force and the emotional impact they all give is mindblowingly high. The feeling of helpnessness was so well portrayed with this section when it came in the movie.
The section ends at 1:53 and the track slowly transitions into the finale phase with the cellos and violins covering it. The little section of 2:02 to 2:08 with Oboe (or some flute?) sounded so darn nice.
At 2:07, the track moves away from the sad phase and goes more towards the emotion of "hope". If you notice the pitch of the piano, its much higher compared to all the times the theme was played by the piano, so the track itself starts portraying hope. It was such a nice transition where the main theme itself tells you the different emotions of the track, I loved it. The cello and violins continues accompanying it with more pianos in the background with deeper notes adding depth to it. The small piano section from 2:27 to 2:49 was also a very nice to hear. The final closure phase of the track then starts at 2:50, which sounds nice and brings the track to the closure. However the section post 3:20 was probably not something I loved. Kind of doesn't sit right with me, and I would have liked if the track ended differently than the way it did with this section, but hey, I loved the initial part way too much.
The main theme was definitely not used only in this track, but there are quite a few tracks throughout the movie where it was used.
The two other tracks where it was used, which I ABSOLUTELY LOVED too was
1) Abandoned Resort - In ths section, at 3:33, the "ru ru ru ru" part plays, and my god it was such a fantastic version of that part due to the echoes that it included. And when it played at the title of the movie, it was such a surreal experience. The title screen was probably one of the only one time experiences you can have on first watch.
2) Suzume's Departure - The track played a little more emotional version in this section which transitioned into a fantastic rendition of the main theme portraying a sort of "resolve" or "determination". The theme plays at 4:24, and makes such a heavy atmosphere with the bass, which quickly turns around into the resolve part at 4:41.
(I probably will not be uploading these so just mentioned them here in case anyone does stick around reading my descriptions!)
