Composer Yuma Yamaguchi discusses the music of Goodbye, Lara
Yuma Yamaguchi, a composer and pianist based in Japan, wrote the music for the anime Goodbye, Lara.
He says his musical background combines classical, jazz and dance or electronic music.
The soundtrack was released on September 30.
Most of its tracks are the same as the versions used in the anime, but some were changed.
One track, “two horizons,” includes vocals on the soundtrack that were left out of the anime because they did not fit the scene; Yamaguchi’s daughter sings on it.
Other tracks used in important scenes appear in longer versions on the soundtrack.
These differences show how music can help shape a story’s world, as well as serve as a separate listening experience.
