PHOENIX: EDEN17 DEBUTS ON DISNEY+ SEPTEMBER 13 – WATCH THE TRAILER

NEW YORK, NYMilan Records today announces the release of PHOENIX: EDEN17 (ORIGINAL SERIES SOUNDTRACK) with music by composer TAKATSUGU MURAMATSU. Available everywhere Friday, September 15, the album features music written by Muramatsu for STUDIO4°C's new anime series based on Osamu Tezuka's iconic manga series. An adaptation of the manga's “Nostalgia” story arc, Phoenix: Eden17 is now streaming worldwide exclusively on Disney+.

Of the soundtrack, composer TAKATSUGU MURAMATSU says, “I am so happy to be able to portray the world of Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix: Eden17, which I have loved since I was a child, with my own music. I am truly delighted. When I saw the script and the animation, I imagined the sound at once. During the production process, the world that came to mind was one that I had never encountered before and so large in scale that I wondered if I would be able to meet my deadline. Before I knew it, it had become a race against time. The soundscape of Phoenix: Eden17 is centered around a dynamic and mysterious orchestra. I hope you enjoy it.”

ABOUT PHOENIX: EDEN17
In the age of space exploration, Romi and her lover George flee a devastated Earth in search of a new world for just the two of them, settling on planet Eden17. However, it turns out to be a desolate planet unsuitable for human habitation. After losing George in an accident, Romi is determined to survive with her son Cain and enters a hibernation pod. When she awakes 1,300 years later, she finds that Eden is now home to a thriving city built by the descendants of Cain and the alien life-form known as Moopy. Romi lives there as a queen, but as she ages, her longing for Earth grows stronger. One day, a child of Eden named Com acknowledges Romi's feelings and resolves to embark on a journey to take her to Earth.
