Suzume (Japanese: すずめの
Background
[edit]In September 2022, it was announced that Radwimps, who had previously worked with director Makoto Shinkai on the anime films Your Name (2016) and Weathering with You (2019), would be composing the score for Suzume as a collaboration with Seattle-based composer Kazuma Jinnouchi.[3][4] The project began in early 2020 when Shinkai sent the film's screenplay to vocalist Yojiro Noda, who found it "the most exciting" in comparison to Shinkai's previous two films, since Noda enjoyed road movies and was interested in abandoned buildings.[5] The two stopped contacting for a while due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Noda was able to write some music during that time.[5]
Around August 2020, Noda sent Shinkai some demo tracks, which included an early version of the first theme song "Suzume". Shinkai initially wanted Noda to perform "Suzume", but they later decided that a female voice would "better define the impression of the track."[5] The production team held auditions, and singer Toaka was selected as the vocalist.[4] Toaka had been posting on TikTok since February 2020, releasing covers of songs from Japanese artists such as Kenshi Yonezu, Fujii Kaze, and Wednesday Campanella.[6] Noda said that he "felt a connection between this song and Toaka that no one else could break."[4] The second theme song "Kanata Haluka" was produced at the last minute since Shinkai wanted another song for the film. For "Kanata Haluka", Noda wanted to tell about how the film is "a story about Suzume and Sota", regardless of the various themes it explores.[5] Noda also performed the songs "Tamaki" and "Tears of Suzume", which are not included in the film.[7]
Some of the recording sessions were held at Abbey Road Studios in London, where Noda and Jinnouchi were present to give instructions to the orchestra in charge of performing. This marked the first time the soundtrack to a film directed by Shinkai was recorded overseas.[4]
Release
[edit]"Suzume" and "Kanata Haluka" debuted on music streaming services on September 30 and October 28, 2022, respectively.[8][7] The album was released on digital music and streaming platforms on November 11, 2022, the day of the film's release.[9] A music video for "Kanata Haluka", directed by filmmaker Tomokazu Yamada , was released online on the same day.[10] The album was also released as a two-disc vinyl LP on March 8, 2023.[11] The CD and vinyl versions were sold during Radwimps' North American Tour in April 2023.[12] Anime Limited released the CD and vinyl internationally on August 28, 2023.[13]
Radwimps and Toaka performed the theme songs on TV Asahi's Music Station program on November 11, and on TBS's CDTV Live! Live! program on November 28.[14][15]
