I kind of feel like I need this one so I may just have to cough up the money for it. I'll definitely be keeping any eye on the amazon.jp prices as well. I want the new vinyl reissues of Nujabes lp's and they go for $60+ in the US but if I order from amazon.jp they are around $40.
The mononoke OST is 2xLP hence the crazy price. I will try and wait and see if amazon.jp do preorders for them. I had good experiences doing this with the Laputa and Toru releases.

Also I think they only debit your card when the record is dispatched.Dollarhyde wrote: ↑Wed Apr 15, 2020 6:12 pm @ inksbFor some reason I thought a few of the other releases were 2LP but now that I look they were all one.

This was my experience last time at least.

I’ll satisfy myself with my CD/digital copies and what few selections are of the ghibli comp mondo did years ago...It's not releasing until July, hopefully we have some sort of return to normality by then. Also I don't believe any of these reissues have sold out super fast so you should be able to find then for a while after the release date
inksb wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 12:58 pmAh that’s good news! I remember taping mononoke off TV when it first came on (I was unable for some reason to see the theatrical release, can’t recall why) and instantly falling in love with it. I think it was in Cartoon Network or maybe sci fi, only two stations I can imagine it was playing on. Bought it on VHS and every format since.Hatter313 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 3:53 am I do love that mononoke score...but nows definitely not the time.

Quick Miyazaki story I may have told on here before.
When I was a kid I used to rent this movie from the local video store over and over again. Years later it had mostly faded from memory but I was always trying to see if could find it. I used to ask people all the time “it had these giant beetle type things and there was a glider, and at one point someone falls through quicksand into a cave” and that’s all I had for YEARS.
Cut to 2005 or so when Miyazaki really started booming here and Disney redubbed and rereleased ghiblis output here in the states, Having loved mononoke and spirited away I couldn’t wait to check out his other output. Lo and behold one of the first ones they rerelease is Naussica, and in my local Best Buy is a huge poster of the film. My jaw DROPPED. This was it! But how was that possible?
As any Miyazaki fan probably knows by now, Naussica was released in the US in a heavily edited and weirdly dubbed vhs called “warriors of the wind” in the late 80s. This was the VHS I had rented when I was a kid in the early 90s and watched all the time.
Short version, I was a life long Miyazaki fan before I knew I was haha.

I pull that one out pretty frequently when talking about studio interference....which is now just occurring to me how weird it is that that’s a frequent topic of conversation in my friend group
Speaking of Mononoke Harvey Weinstein was involved with US theatrical licensing and was pushing to edit it down, but, most likely due to warriors of the wind, Mayazaki flat out refused.
Mayazaki just sent him in the post a note along with a samurai sword. The message in the note was just two words "no cuts".

Only that in an interview Dario said he would love to have DP do the score, and that a news paper just ran with the story as if they were doing it.. So its just wishful thinking, and kind of obvious since DP hasn't done any additional music or score for years and why would come back and score a 2020 argento film.
