Alone in Kyoto (4:49)

Cover of Talkie Walkie

From Talkie Walkie and 8 other releases

Sofia Coppola (director of Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation) asked Air for a song for the latter, as they had also helped out plentifully on the Virgin Suicides soundtrack. So the song Alone in Kyoto was written for when Scarlett Johansson’s character walks alone around Japanese gardens in Kyoto.
This was the same time as Air was making Talkie Walkie , and they weren’t sure whether or not to put the track on the album, but in the end decided to put it on as a sort of outro to the album.

    The piano at the end kinda reminds me of the music from Dear Esther

    Anyone hear shades of Tangerine Dream's "Love on a Real Train"?

    reminds me of when I went to Japan to visit my friend, and we got in a huge fight and then he pawned me off on some of his other friends to show me around Kyoto and I felt lonely and frustrated... but it all worked out by the next day

    Just came up on iPod shuffle and I thought it way Kyrie by Mr Mister (which would have been impressive considering I don't own it) from the intro. Beautiful piece of music (@skymugen, yeah, been there!)
