“But then, the distribution company contacted me saying that the movie was going to be released in Japan, and sent me a CD. Even though I already owned the CD.”
Kojima collects the soundtracks of the Nick Cave–Warren Ellis tandem, beginning with The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford; from there he moved on to The Road, Wind River and others, and he bought their 2021 record, which he said was for him the best release of last year. With La pantera de las nieves the film took time to reach Japan, was not available on any platform or on Blu‑ray, so he settled for buying the soundtrack alone — until the distributor contacted him to announce the Japanese release and sent him a complimentary CD, even though he already owned the CD.
“There's an old movie called the assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford and these two also created the soundtrack for that. That's when I started collecting the soundtracks of these two like The Road and Wind River. I also bought their new record that they released last year. […] It was the best release of last year, at least for me.”
