In what feels like a weird crossover of genres, Scarlet Moon Records has opened pre-orders for Prescription for Sleep: Ghibli. This album has been performed by Gentle Love, a duo of video game composers Norihiko Hibino and Ayaki, who take a smooth jazz approach to several songs from the Studio Ghibli library. This is their 17th album, where they have basically created unique covers of popular songs from specific pop culture areas. We have the finer details here as the full 12-track album will be available on all platforms on July 20.
Prescription for Sleep: Ghibli by Gentle Love
The album is performed entirely live in the studio by saxophonist Norihiko Hibino—best known as the composer of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Bayonetta—and pianist Ayaki (Streets of Rage, PersonaQ), performing together as Gentle Love. The Ghibli album marks the series' second foray into anime following Attack on Titan in 2022, and arrives on the heels of Prescription for Pop, which brought Gentle Love's therapeutic sound to mainstream pop music earlier this year. Bandcamp pre-order buyers get immediate access to three tracks: "A Town With an Ocean View" from Kiki's Delivery Service, "The Path of the Wind" from My Neighbor Totoro, and "The Girl Who Fell From The Sky" from Castle in the Sky. The remaining nine tracks unlock on July 20, the 25th anniversary of Academy Award-winning Spirited Away.
