This Japanese black comedy from 1998 is about a wealthy, spoiled actress who discovers she is suffering from a fatal illness and has little time to live. But her biggest worry is that she never picked out a burial plot, and so sets out to find the most appropriate spot for a grave. Oshima�s score is a pleasant potpourri of pretty ballads, jaunty tunes for clarinet, a few suspense cues, and an opera vocal (Puccini’s �Nessun Dorma�). The music is mostly upbeat, because in the process of her quest the actress also reconnects with society and finds a renewed interest in life. Thus the whole thing ends with a vocal of �What a Wonderful World.�
A longer version of the pretty theme tune appears on the compilation �Cinema Music Best� and is titled �I Want My Grave.� This was apparently recorded just for that release as it does not appear on the OST. It�s the same tune as �I Need A Gravestone� on this OST, but is more drawn out.
17 tracks on Stand Up CD # SUCA-0002. Released in 1998.
