Brave Story
Brave
Story, originally a novel from Miyabe Miyuki, is coming out this
weekend. A popular morning show (めざましテレビ) did an introduction of it,
and I was getting ready for work so I wasn’t listening much but it
seems Juno Reactor (Matrix soundtrack) worked on Brave Story’s
soundtrack. Looks like a good movie!
Description from wikipedia:
