This is my first ever attempt on scoring a movie. I didn't realise that my composition "Tears" could fit in the scoring for Grave of the Fireflies nicely according to the ending scene, although I got the inspiration to compose this orchestra piece from watching the movie itself, until I thought "Hey, why don't I try to do movie score? It sounds fun and I've always wanted to do this for a very long time!"
The sound effects on the original movie were quite soft, so after I isolated the sounds from the original background music, I raised the effects volume accordingly. I also adjusted some sound effects here and there to make them sounded more realistic. I purposely didn't add/alter any sound effects at the last scene where Seita and Setsuko reunited, as it's supposed to be a 'dream' vibe where it couldn't happened in real life.
Grave of the Fireflies/ 火垂るの墓 / Hotaru no Haka is the type of movie that you have to watch at least once in your life as it will give you new perspective(s) on love, life and the reason why we should never have war ever again in this world.
