Joe Hisaishi, who also wrote the music for other Miyazaki films.The Image Album, Soundtrack Album, and Symphonic Album are available today in Japan. Milan Records has released the soundtrack album in the US (reviews of the CD).Hisaishi also wrote the song “Mononoke Hime” (lyrics by Miyazaki), which was used in the movie. It was sung by MERA Yoshikazu, a Japanese countertenor (a male who sings in a high range). The English version was sung by Sasha Lazard.Hisaishi has received the “Japan Record Award”, a sort of Japanese Grammy, for his work in Mononoke Hime.

Andrew Huggett of Canada wrote all the music. The music is universal, written by a composer skilled at creating cross-over music that can travel around the world. The instruments used are varied and include a few kazoos.
