5 Centimeters Per Second - The Soundtrack

Leisel, Shauna and possibly others may recall my June 10th post about this short animated movie from Japan. I was lucky to find out about it by chance and am so glad I did, now even more than before. I have watched it two more times since and I must confess it is quickly becoming one of my all time favourite films. One of the things I love about it most is the score/soundtrack.

This is what I listen to during my very early morning drive to work these days. The total length of twelve tracks is just about perfect to get me there and is a nice quiet way to start the day. The current hot summer afternoons, in cooperation with the absence of A/C in my Honda, mandate that both windows be completely rolled down for my drive home. This of course renders enjoyment of any kind of soft music absolutely impossible at 100 kph. I suppose that's just as well though.

I will admit that part of the reason I'm posting it here is to have easy access to it for myself. Maybe sometime when you're in a quiet mood you could give it a listen. Once you push play it will automatically go through all twelve tracks unless you stop it or whatever. I think you might enjoy it too. Of course you will enjoy it even more once you have seen the movie.
