Good afternoon everypony. The sun's out, the flowers are in bloom, so let's go on an adventure!

Today's going to be a little bit different; the pieces I have for you today are taken from the wonderful world of soundtracks. One film, one game, both Japanese!

My first choice is something which I actually heard for the very first time last night, recommended by our very own S.F., it's a lovely track from Final Fantasy IX, called You're Not Alone by Nobuo Uematsu. I've never actually played any of the Final Fantasy games, but this goes a long way to convincing me that I'm missing out!

The next selection comes from an animated film which I'm sure many of you will know and love, and is taken from a scene which I think absolutely breathtaking. Procession of the Spirits from the film Spirited Away, composed by Joe Hisaishi.
