Milan Records will release a soundtrack album for the Japanese animated feature The Boy and the Beast. The album features the film’s original music composed by Masakatsu Takagi. The soundtrack will be released in the U.S. on March 4, 2016 and is now available for pre-order on Amazon. The Boy and the Beast is directed by Mamoru Hosoda (Summer Wars) who previously collaborated with the composer on Wolf Children. The movie follows a lonely Japanese boy who slips into an alternate universe where he is raised by a bear-man, Kumatetsu, who fights for a living and trains him in the art of fighting over the years. The animated film received an Academy Awards-qualifying release in 2015 and will be released in select theaters later this year by FUNimation Entertainment.
