For fans of Japanese anime music and Joe Hisaishi, there will be soon (16/07/2014) released SOUNDTRACK BOX with scores from Miyazaki´s Ghibli movies (13CD)
Scores which should be represented (10CD - if there is one CD for one score), so there is chance for some bonus music materials or it will be CD´s with songs or arrange versions of score music. We will see
01. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind 02. Castle in the Sky 03. Kiki's Delivery Service 04. Porco Rosso 05. My Neighbor Totoro 06. Princess Mononoke 07. Spirited Away 08. Ponyo 09. Howl's Moving Castle 10. The Wind Rises
Wow, that is pretty fantastic and is bound to be a sought-after item. I own two Hisaishi albums -- MIRACLE APPLES (not Miyazaki) and THE WIND RISES (Miyazaki's latest). I've seen all of the films, however, and have a track or two from some of the others, but this would be a great way to get it all in one big swoop.
There's so much missing music from the OST's. Where every other anime product seems to get the C&C I don't understand why JH releases get slighted. Here's hoping for expansions, but as already stated the extra discs are probably the Image albums.
1. Nausicaa 2. Laputa 3. Totoro 4. Kiki's 5. Porco Rosso 6. Mononoke Hime 7. Spirited Away 8. Howl's 9. Ponyo 10. The Wind Rises 11. Laputa (USA version) 12. Mr. Dough and the Egg Princess 13. Kiki Drama
12. There should be more scores from Ghibli short films becasue "Mr. Dough and the Egg Princess" is 12min short film and it would be really waste of CD space.
Most of the Miyazaki directed Ghibli shorts don't have Hisaishi scores though. It would be neat if they included Mei and the Kitten Bus, since right now you can only buy it at the Ghibli Museum's gift shop.
I wouldn't be too surprised if Mr. Dough and the Egg Princess is just the same 11 minute CD that was already released.

Also the music to Mr. Dough and the Egg Princess is just an adaption of Vivaldi's Trio Sonata in D minor Variations on La Folia so it's nothing to get excited about.
