Our Little Sister O.S.T.
The original soundtrack of the Japanese movie Our Little Sister (original title: Umimachi Diary) was released on 2015, June 10.
This album was recorded in Japan with a limited set of orchestra instruments: piano, celesta, glockenspiel, strings, harp, flute, alto flute and clarinet. The theme of Suzu, the main theme of this album, is re-arranged countless times and other themes are less memorable. All tracks last less than two minutes except the final track End Roll which groups all the themes in a orchestra arrangement: five minutes of bliss! There’s also one short and good song , Illumina, performed by Julia Shortreed. The lyrics are not credited (probably because they’re too simple) but this is certainly Gabriela Robin’s work.

Umimachi Diary
Yoko Kanno is in charge of the soundtrack of this new movie, Umimachi Diary, coming this summer in Japan.
There is originally a manga with the same title, and the director Koreeda Hirokazu is in charge of the movie. It will be screened in theaters starting from June 13, 2015 in Japan.
If I understood correctly, it tells the story of 4 sisters who start living together in Kamakura after their father passed away. The father rejected all of them and the youngest one had a different mother.
The World of Kanako O.S.T.
There will be an O.S.T. but it will only be bundled with the movie.
There will be more than 20 tracks, including original compositions by Yoko Kanno and songs covered by different artists. The release is planned for December 19.
