Hi everyone! I always thought that the ending theme from Innocence was beautifully haunting. The song was composed by Kenji Kawai & performed by Kimiko Itoh.
Well, I’ve finally been able to find its origins. It’s based on the second movement of Concierto De Aranjuez which was originally written by Spanish composer Joaquín Rodrigo in 1939. Just click on the links for a little more info.
EDIT: I fixed the broken youtube links.

Originally written for classical guitar, I think? I recognized it in the film from listening to my dad's records when I was young - it's a gorgeous rendition of it, and it works so well with the nostalgic atmosphere of the cars and decor.
So is the original the one that was played in the trailers back in late 2003? Because the song that's at the end of the movie's a different one. I have both, but needed to search quite a bit to find the original.

Who are you? Who slips into my robot body and whispers to my ghost?
I knew it sounded familiar, can't believe I didn't work out why...
