MOOMIN TV SOUNDTRACK: 'Atmospheric Music' [OST] (Sumio Shiratori)

Here's an unofficial compilation of music from 90's TV series Moomin (Tanoshii Moomin Ikka, Muumilaakson tarinoita, I Muumindalen, Muminki etc..)

It is only now, decades later, do I realize how much this music and this show did for me, not only in the sense how humane and gentle it was, but also how it subconsiously educated me in Japanese culture. I’m a Finn, Moomins are an integral part of our childhood, like Dr. Seuss is for Americans. But this show and this music integrated the Moomins, a Northern European and a Japanese sense of beauty, atmosphere and storytelling into one. And in doing so, it bacame something richer and more beautiful, and a piece of art all of it’s own. And I’m so grateful I got such a beautiful intro into Japanese music and esthetics years and years before anime became a thing in western mainstream. It made my childhood that much richer.

[@anttikole]

I just sobbed for 5 minutes listening to Yuugure. I too, was a child once. This is my soundtrack.

[@littlemais]

The moomin soundtrack is literally out of this world. Absolutely outstanding and homey in a way.

[@autoscoot5964]

I have no words how much I miss those times...

💖💖💖😭💐💐💐💐👋👋👋👋👋👋💝💝💝💝💝😘

[@xanttu6031]

yea, i know, moomis are something diffrerent.. when you listening these, its kind of you remembering things of you life which you are currently sure is even happend.. like it makes you feel something you did'nt know about before

[@berg6393]

Xanttu good to know im not the only one!

[@leia9940]

My cat walked in and sat next to me while I was doing my homework and listening to this. The 90s Moomins was so beautiful.

[@K3yBoardM4ani4c]

17:35 - 20:33 is my absolute favorite of all moomin music. Reminds me of moominhouse on a dark winter night with snowflakes falling from the sky and Groke making her way through the forest. Chills go down my spine right when those creepy xylophone chords start and that beautiful melody is just perfect in its simplicity.

[@IzayoiArwena]

Yes this is best music ever. Reminds me of the witch casting a spell to make Moomins sleep

[@vke6077]

@@IzayoiArwena aw man i still remember me as a little kid watching moomin, the music is so goddamn nostalgic

[@12dakis]

No wonder it reminds you of that, I think that’s exactly the music playing when that happened in one of the episodes 😄

[@markkuilomaki1173]

That same period reminds me of episode 90 when moomin and sniff are under the lone three when hattivatti seround them before the lightning strikes.

[@zeningren8648]

For me it’s when Snufkin has to leave Moomin Valley and when first snow falls.

[@benisboy2697]

Came here to appreciate the original soundtrack. The soundtrack in the new animated series doesn't cut anywhere close when compared to this. It makes me sad that there will be new Moomin fans that will never experience these masterfully crafted pieces.

[@Nakiimushi]

@@benisboy2697 I agree, you are not alone on this

[@klabbeklossberg1525]

Im planning a Moomin marathon with my freinds so im warming up by listening to the soundtrack

[@hollypowner8167]

How did it go

[@Oleerkilass]

He's not done yet ;-)

[@linushyper300]

Oh my God, it actually starts with my favorite piece

[@dukeshoots5296]

The first soundtrack is seriously the best thing ever made.

[@Hardcoreforliife]

I freaking love the gloom

[@koikarppa]

8:19 this part omfg, tbh it almost feels like that the music is something much more than the anime and it doesn't belong to it. I'm not saying it shouldn't belong to it, but you know. So huge.

[@gasptis8534]

Moomins were one of most, if not the most wholesome cartoon i watched as a child. So many good subliminal messages that promote kindness and compassion in children with beautiful animations. And of course the songs are just majestic! We need more cartoons like this in present times. :)

[@darth15]

00:00 Muumin Tani Fuyu (ムーミン谷・冬) From winter when every one is sleeping and into spring. Right in the nostalgia

[@Nakkisesonki]

Well i transalted it and it aays the winter of the muuminvalley

[@Dragonsphinx]

23:59 Hoshi no Kawa is utterly gorgeous. I could listen to it over and over forever.

[@comeinthegarden]

00:00 Muumin Dani Fuyu (ムーミン谷·冬) 05:05 Yuugure (タぐれ) 09:26 Kokoro Ha Bouken (心は冒険) 10:49 Nemuri No Kuni He(ねむりの国へ) 12:19 Tabidatsu Hi Ni (旅立つ日に) 13:48 Soshite Hi Ga Kurete (そして、日が暮れて) 15:24 Muumin Dani Fuyu 2 (ムーミン谷·冬) 19:20 Kimi Ha Minami He (君は南ヘ) 22:44 Hoshi No Kawa (星の河)

[@amanechan5405]

Even when I was a little kid (yeah, born in 1990), I always considered Moomins as something completely different than any other animation that was airing on my local TV. Starting from animation quality, through music ending on completely different atmosphere than usual "child cartoons". And yes, I was afraid of Groke/Buka whatever it's called in other counties :D PS. 君は南へ is not "Kun Ha Minami He". 君 reads as "kun" when it's used for name/politeness suffix (for example Moomin-kun). As separate word it reads as "kimi" and it means "you". は when it's used as particle reads as "wa" not "ha". Same goes to へ - yeah, it's "he", but it reads as "e" when it's used as particle. So the correct romaji title should be *Kimi wa minami e* Muumin Tani Fuyu 2 (ムーミン谷・冬) -> "・" in this case means a separator for different arrangement (冬/fuyu means winter, so I assume, there are 3 more versions of this track). 谷/tani means valley.

[@hello_there571]

I was born in 2004 and i watched moomins every day it. I was a huge fan of them and still I feel that I should watch moomins again

[@daina5124]

it's called Mora in my country:) I was born in 2007 and 90's moomins were also my childhood. i always watched them, because it was the atmosphere, the everything! i was really scared of Groke, so I used to get behind my grandma so i wouldn't see that creature haha

[@kapelski104]

Kind of weird how the japanese also got to enjoy moomins like we finns did. It's like a shared piece of culture we have.

[@אלוןשיינפלד]

Were you born in japan?

[@ΚωνσταντίνοςΚατσίμπελης]

And if you watch the original japanese intro and see the translated lyrics you'll see that is quite different from the dubbed intro and has music which is heard on the episodes , this is why the dubbed intro doesn't sound like the music on the episodes and the lyrics say "even those who are tough enough must cry their heart out and they'll find that their sadness quickly disappears"👏

[@satur9dreamer]

I absolutely love the music by Sumio. I remember hearing his wife's voice in Final Fantasy 9. But I grew up with 90's Moomin way before that, but didn't know it was the same voice. Sumio's music is so beautiful, haunting, eerie, enigmatic and powerful. And it is all poured into the writing of the music for this series. Tanoshii Moomin Ikka forever!

[@cardinalZephyr]

Actually brings a tear to my eye, this music. Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

[@leksalahest]

I'm so happy that I've seen and heard the golden age of films made for children. Miss those times. Have a nice day!

[@nuppuhayhtio4088]

i love all of it. this whole sondtrack reminds me of my childhood and the music is so so so beautiful

[@Eye_Exist]

This show has so incredibly much depth both in its story and music. it's truly the masterwork of whole family's show. what a brilliant writer Tove Jansson was.

[@chalurdjur]

5:39 - 9:25 brings tears to my eyes everytime.

[@sumeriance]

!! I've been looking for the one that starts at 10:49 for soo long, thank you so much, it's so beautiful!

[@TheFakeLunarGamer]

i just love this series and i wouldn't be the person i am today without it

[@daina5124]

In 5:05 i nearly started crying, i miss my childhood...

24:04 When Moominpappa saves Moominmamma. From the episode "Adventures of Moominpappa Part 3" (episode 68). One of my favorite scenes in the whole series! 😊❤

[@IceRuler]

Absolutely beautiful. This series was a masterpiece and today it holds up great. It was just so good. Also, this is the first time I hear the Japanese narrator's voice and OMG! it is beautiful and very fitting. Also... yeah, I never really knew who made the music. I'm glad to actually know the composer's name.

Tabidatsu Hi Ni (13:34) sounds so romantic - like a love confession!

[@kapelski104]

I wish there was no Japanese voiceovers. I'd just like to listen to the music and the Japanese feels also super weird since I've always known Moomins as a very Finnish thing.

This is soooooo relaxing music!!!

[@onewingedangel1993]

[@IzayoiArwena]

Really beautiful. Im in heaven 8:20 angel singing. My whole life in this compilation. Kinda miss one sad music, disappearing jungle and Snorkmaiden crying, running out to find Snufkin because Moomin will die without him. Where is it?

[@druidofthefang]

Snorkmaiden and Snufkin :D

[@charlesvattimo4674]

Jesus Christ, prime me up and call me trap, Yuugure is my God and everything. I want to be cremated and have my ashes blended into a vinyl disc that will play this song.

[@IzayoiArwena]

@@charlesvattimo4674 i love it too. Very beautiful anthem. Just like party for Tofslan and Vifslan who found Mamma's purse and gave the hopgoblin his Royal ruby. And when they played with Fillyonk's children. And of course "Yume no sekaite", when they greet Fillyonk with flowers. I often thought its one and the same melody

This is such a wonderful soundtrack, but it's a shame I can't find the CD easily, or at a reasonable price for that matter. Being sold only in Japan is a travesty, these compositions are fantastical and breathtaking. I swear, I'm going to get the soundtrack to Moomin if I have to save up and buy a $100 or so dollar copy on Amazon.
