For \u003cem\u003eHowl's Moving Castle\u003c\/em\u003e (2004), he went big from the start, composing an \"image symphonic suite\" and recording it with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra in Prague, the orchestra he had worked with on the \u003cem\u003ePrincess Mononoke\u003c\/em\u003e symphonic suite. The ten pieces sketch the film's world in full orchestral color: the \"Mysterious World\" of the opening, the wizard and his walking castle, Sophie's hopes, the war that hangs over the story, and a \"Wizard's Waltz.\" In 2020, Studio Ghibli Records remastered the album and released it on vinyl for the first time, alongside the \u003cem\u003eHowl's Moving Castle\u003c\/em\u003e soundtrack and the \u003cem\u003eSpirited Away\u003c\/em\u003e albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMysterious World (ミステリアス・ワールド)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Wizard of the Moving Castle (動く城の魔法使い)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSophie's Tomorrow (ソフィーの明日)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBoy (ボーイ)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Moving Castle (動く城)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWar War War (ウォー・ウォー・ウォー)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Wizard's Waltz (魔法使いのワルツ)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSecret Garden (シークレット・ガーデン)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemptation at Dawn (暁の誘惑)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCave of Mind (ケイヴ・オブ・マインド)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n \n\u003ch3\u003eRelease details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJoe Hisaishi (久石譲)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImage Symphonic Suite Howl's Moving Castle (イメージ交響組曲 ハウルの動く城)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformed by\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCzech Philharmonic Orchestra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecorded \/ Mastered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrague \/ Abbey Road Studios, London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStudio Ghibli Records \/ Tokuma Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalog No.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTJJA-10029\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4988008088113\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\" LP, 33⅓ RPM, remastered, new jacket artwork, commentary and liner notes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan (import)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReleased\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNovember 3, 2020, first vinyl edition (original album: 2004)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eHowl's Moving Castle\u003c\/em\u003e (ハウルの動く城), 2004, dir.
