Song(s) from The Tale of the Princess Kaguya. Theme song and insert song(s).

When it comes to Studio Ghibli directors, Hayao Miyazaki is famous, but equally acclaimed is Isao Takahata.

One of his works, released in 2013, is the film The Tale of The Princess Kaguya.

As the title suggests, it was based on the old folktale The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.

Emotions overflow from its distinctive visual style.

You’ll be overwhelmed by Isao Takahata’s incredible directorial prowess.

This time, I’d like to introduce the theme song and insert songs from The Tale of The Princess Kaguya.

Watch, listen, and enjoy! It’s an absolutely wonderful work, so if you’re not familiar with it or haven’t seen it yet, please give it a try.
