Editing My Neighbor Totoro (section)

=== Music ===
The music for ''My Neighbor Totoro'' was composed by [[Joe Hisaishi]], who previously collaborated with Miyazaki on the movies ''[[Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (film)|Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind]]'' and ''[[Castle in the Sky]]''. Hisaishi was inspired by the contemporary composers [[Terry Riley]], [[Philip Glass]], [[Steve Reich]], [[Karlheinz Stockhausen]], and [[John Cage]], and described Miyazaki's films as "rich and personally compeling". He hired an orchestra for the soundtrack and primarily used a [[Fairlight CMI|Fairlight]] instrument.<ref name="art" />{{rp|169, 170}}

The soundtrack for ''My Neighbor Totoro'' was first released in Japan on May 1, 1988, by [[Tokuma Shoten]], and includes the musical score used in the film, except for five vocal pieces that were performed by [[Azumi Inoue]], including "Stroll", "A Lost Child", and "My Neighbor Totoro".<ref>{{cite web |title=Tonari no Totoro (My Neighbor Totoro) Soundtracks |url=https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/TKCA-72725 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090103192859/http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=TKCA-72725 |archive-date=January 3, 2009 |access-date=September 30, 2008 |work=CD Japan |publisher=Neowing}}</ref> It had previously been released as an [[Image song|Image Song]] CD in 1987 that contains some songs that were not included in the film.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/joe-hisaishis-soundtrack-for-my-neighbor-totoro-9781501345128/ |title=Joe Hisaishi's Soundtrack for My Neighbor Totoro |date=February 6, 2020 |publisher=Bloomsbury |isbn=978-1-5013-4512-8 |access-date=August 27, 2020 |archive-date=November 1, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201101071900/https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/joe-hisaishis-soundtrack-for-my-neighbor-totoro-9781501345128/ |url-status=live }}</ref>   {{listen
