Kenshi Yonezu has been known for creating masterpieces like ‘Lemon,’ ‘Blue and Gray,’ and ‘Flamingo’. And the lyrical genius has created another statement with ‘Spinning Globe.’

While Miyazaki makes us experience beautiful emotions through his art and direction, Yonezu does the same with his voice and lyrics. His ‘Spinning Globe’ captured the spirit of ‘The Boy and The Heron,’ and fans were overwhelmed by emotions.

Many of the fans were delighted and returned to the theatres to experience the grandeur of this story and the music. In a world of mediocrity, the collaboration of Yonezu and Miyazaki made us feel the magnificence of good storytelling.
