Studio Ghibli’s ‘Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea’ gets it’s first vinyl release, as part of the best-selling vinyl series featuring legendary composer Joe Hisaishi.An image album edition of Joe Hisaishi’s memorable soundtrack to Studio Ghibli’s 2008 anime hit ‘Ponyo On The Cliff By The Sea’. There are ten tracks on this vinyl, including the insanely catchy theme song, ‘Himawari No Ie No Rinboukyoku’ performed by Mai, and two tracks from duo Fujimaki Fujioka.Perfect for audiences of all ages, Ponyo centers on the friendship between five-year-old Sosuke and a magical goldfish named Ponyo, the young daughter of a sorcerer father and a sea-goddess mother. After a chance encounter, Ponyo yearns to become a human so she can be with Sosuke. As to be expected with Miyazaki, the film is awash in pure unbridled imagination and visual wonder – but it is the tender love, humor, and devotion exhibited by Ponyo and Sosuke that form the emotional heart of the film.
