Background[edit]
According to vocalist Yojiro Noda, it took almost a year and a half to make the whole entire score for Your Name movie.[7] Director Makoto Shinkai, who is also a fan of the band, approached Noda through producer Genki Kawamura as soon as the production of movie was confirmed.[8][9] When recording the soundtrack, the band were not able to see the actual animation until it was all finished, so they wrote music based on the script and words of the director, which cause many compositions were adjusted to fit the animation. 'It was really difficult to arrange music to fit the animation by the second,' said guitarist Akira Kuwahara. 'The songwriting process was moving forward at the same time with the animation so it influenced each other. The music changed the story, the lines, and if the new scene was created, we changed the music. It was a creative process,' added Noda.[7][10]

Your Name movie YIFY subtitles. Two strangers find themselves linked in a bizarre way. When a connection forms, will distance be the only thing to keep them apart? Your Name Sub vs Dub submitted 1 year ago by nareann I got tickets for Your Name Dubbed and as someone who watches anime with subtitles I'm not sure if I made a mistake or not.
