The composer struck gold with his score for the 1997 box office hit, as Hisaishi not only crafted a number of themes that would be instantly recognizable, but also a solid body of work overall for the film. His best composition here, though, is arguably the "Legend of Ashitaka" theme, which succeeds at that rare feat of being both soothing and energetic. As for this release, Tokuma's disc is actually the best of the numerous soundtracks for the film. Unlike Milan Records' CD that was released in the states, this disc actually contains the vocal version of the "Princess Mononoke" theme (track #20), which is why this disc runs three minutes longer than its American counterpart. However, is this one track worth shelling out the $15 extra for the Tokuma disc over the US release? Probably not, although it's worth noting none the same.
