Background

Another song, "Grand Escape", features vocals from Tōko Miura. Other songs include "Voice of Wind", "Celebration" and "We'll Be Alright".

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Weathering with You (album)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Weathering, album and soundtrack provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q65923356. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2019 and 2017.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
