The Boy and the Heron composer Kenshi Yonezu has talked about how it felt working with legendary animation director and Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki.Via X (formerly Twitter), GKIDS Films recently shared a joint interview between Yonezu and Masaki Suda, who voices the titular heron in the film’s Japanese version. Here, Yonezu explains how it felt to collaborate with Miyazaki and his staff while composing Heron’s theme song, “Spinning Globe.” “I got to the point where I didn’t know what was right anymore,” Yonezu said. “I’ve always worked alone in my studio, making songs by myself… this time I was so lost. It was overwhelming, with so many elements coming together.” The singer felt a similar sense of dread when Miyazaki met with him to listen to “Spinning Globe”. “I really thought I was going to die most at that moment,” he admitted. “…It felt like I was going to the executioner’s block.”As part of his creative process for Heron, Yonezu worked with a former collaborator named Bandou, painstakingly revising the song based on the arranger’s feedback. “I was in a separate room, just making the song with my guitar, then I’d go, ‘this is how it turned out, what do you think?’ He’d rearrange it with the piano a bit and play it back to me. Then we’d say something like, ‘this sounds a bit off; let’s start from the top again…it was really like a training camp from hell.” However, Yonezu’s efforts paid off in the end, as Miyazaki was moved to tears when hearing it for the first time.Christian Bale, Robert Pattinson, Willem Dafoe and More in The Boy and the Heron English Dub
