CREATPS has released a soundtrack album for the Japanese drama Great Absence (Oinaru fuzai). The album features the film’s original music composed by Koji Itoyama. The soundtrack is now available to stream/download on Amazon and most other major digital music services. Also listen to the composer’s first track (Way Back) below. Great Absence is co-written and directed by Kei Chika-ura and stars Mirai Moriyama, Tatsuya Fuji, Yoko Maki and Hideko Hara.
