So it was a sudden but extremely happy treat for us to learn that as of February 21, music from the collected films of Studio Ghibli is now available on music streaming subscription services Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Google Play Music, and YouTube Music.
Follow Casey on Twitter, where Kiki’s Delivery Service’s “Umi no Mieru Machi” and Totoro’s “Kaze no Toru Michi” are his two favorite pieces of Ghibli music.
To start with, the first 23 are the soundtracks for every Studio Ghibli movie ever made except Grave of the Fireflies, plus French co-production The Red Turtle.
But the films’ music is just as memorable, as anyone who’s ever caught themselves humming the theme to My Neighbor Totoro or Spirited Away knows.
