Heisei Tanuki Gassen Ponpoko Image AlbumSuggested retail 3,000 JPY with tax. Includes a sheet of two stickers with miniature Pom Poko film poster designs.
An image album is a rougher imagining of a film's musical style; some of its motifs usually go on to appear in the final score. Because its songs are not written for specific scenes, they tend to more closely resemble music recorded for standalone listening, with longer track lengths and fewer sharp tone shifts.
Note that this album also exists as TKCA-71140 (1997 re-release; this is the original 1994 pressing) and TKTA-20385 (cassette). Also note that the Pom Poko score itself was officially released as TKCA-70410 (original 1994 pressing), TKCA-71141 (1997 re-release), and TKTA-20387 (cassette).
