Wonky translation :’D

No information on the conductor, but it’s probably Kousuke Yamashita.

The subtitle Harukanaru Kikan could be translated as "return from distant place", but "The Long Voyage Home" is the official English subtitle, I think. Hayabusa (literally, "Peregrine Falcon") is the name of a Japanese spacecraft.

I bought this after having read CentralCoaster’s review on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/HAYABUSA-HARUKANARU-KIKAN-ORIGINAL-SOUNDTRACK/dp/B006H9YRIY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1370934641&sr=8-2&keywords=Harukanaru+Kikan).

Nobuyuki Tsujii the film music composer

Nobuyuki Tsujii was entirely responsible for the composing of the music for the film, although the superb arrangements are done by another famous Japanese artist. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. This is orchestral music — there is only a couple of tracks with piano in it. And the quality is, to my ears, as good as many soundtracks for Hollywood movies, such as John Williams’ score for "Close Encounter of the Third Kind".

Like many classical music lovers, I frowned upon Nobuyuki Tsujii’s dabbling in what I considered "new-age" music. But the more I listen to his compositions, the more I realize that there is a beauty to it beyond the ordinary.

Music is Nobu’s world, and he admires the works of Debussy and Ravel, whose influence I think you could hear in his compositions, I think he deserves a listen-to. For me, I have become quite a fan of his original music, not all of which has reached maturity. The litmus test is whether one can stand listening to them repeatedly, and I have found myself listening to many of his works — including this sound track — with increasing fondness. On twitter and in blogs, many Japanese write about the purity of Tsujii’s music and how it has a cleansing effect on one’s mind — I agree.

I have found that this soundtrack provides excellent background music while I work.
