Here’s a useful breakdown of the Bubble (2022 Netflix anime film by WIT Studio) soundtrack, composed by Hiroyuki Sawano (with vocal tracks by others).
To understand the genius of this OST, you must listen to three specific tracks. Do not shuffle them. Experience them in order.
This is arguably the emotional core of the soundtrack. Sung by Miyuri Shimabukuro (Utsumi), this track plays during the film's most pivotal bonding moments. The lyrics speak of entanglement and longing, mirroring the relationship between the characters. The genius of this song lies in its instrumentation. Sawano utilizes a somber piano melody that slowly builds into a swelling chorus. It feels like floating underwater—muffled, peaceful, yet tinted with sadness.
Translated as "The Farthest Shore" or "The Farthest Ends," this track represents the parkour aspect of the film. It has a faster tempo, driven by drums and synthesized strings, reflecting the adrenaline of the "Battlekour" teams leaping between buildings. Alice Hirose’s vocals provide a grounded, earthy feel compared to the ethereal nature of the other tracks, representing the human desire to survive and fight.
