This is the original soundtrack (no dialogue) of the charming "The Cat Returns" movie from Studio Ghibli (directed by a Miyazaki protoge, not Miyazaki himself). If you are looking for the sweet song that closes the movie, "Kaze Ni Naru", (in which Ayano Tsuji sings with accompaniment primarily from her ukelele) here it is!!! I bought a copy from the "sellthingsguy" retailer and he was great---product was delivered early and in perfect condition.

In the beginning the music was great then I go worst and worst. It was scratchy when I played it on my itouch. So buy at your own caution

in terms of studio ghibli soundtracks, few can beat the works of Yuji Nomi. his portfoilo isnt massive, but quality is not quantity. neko No Ongaeshi is quite simply a dreamy masterpiece. let not the pop track Ayano Tsuiji deafen your ears (though good it is), Yuji's composition is stunning and breathless. there is elevating delicacy from the first movement of the opening track. and another distinguishing track is track 13. the entrance to cat world. sweet and perilous, the strings radiate excitment and imagination to come. if there is a track to get your in the mood of nostalgic delicacy, try Pastorale. there are few soundtracks out there to rival this intellegent, graceful and supreme cream whipped masterpiece.Purrrr brilliance!
