Another translation how cuts for SEIMEI and H&L were done. Poor Mr. Yano he had to do 33 versions for SEIMEI and wow , I had no idea that Ghibli was so strict about using their music.
:shocked: oh wow they really went through a lot to get the permission for H&L. I wonder if that is the reason why we don't see that many Hisaishi programs, or if it was the matter of merging two songs that made it necessary to get the composer's personal approval.
Also, a bit OT but yes, Ghilbi seems strict about the use if their music. I wonder how Elizabet and her team managed to get the permission for Princess Mononoke, or if it wasn't that hard given the music remained relatively unedited.
