Hello!
I went to see “Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu” released on Friday, May 22, 2026, on its opening day!
(Pictures of the merch shop are on page 2)
Actually, I only vaguely know Star Wars from watching it on TV sometimes, but I still enjoyed it!
Especially Grogu’s cuteness! Everyone probably already knows about that, so…

I’ll introduce Ludwig Göransson, who composed the music for the new Star Wars movie as well as the drama series.
His music alone has a kind of “magic” that pulls you into the movie👀👀
Let’s experience the magic of that sound with the movie theater’s acoustics!👂✨
📖 What’s in this article 📖
☝️First, let’s listen to Ludwig Göransson’s music👂
✌️Let’s ask Prof. KINOKO who Göransson is🍄

Entering the world while being swallowed by a vortex of sound💫 Let’s enjoy Ludwig Göransson’s intense sound!
First, just listen to this👇 without saying anything!
Isn’t this sound insane? What is this? Yodel EDM?
This is “Yodel Beat” from the animated movie “Trolls World Tour” (2020)! (This is the movie where I first recognized Göransson!)
At the beginning of the song, the yodeling voice, which is something you “kind of know what it sounds like,” emerges as if it’s slowly welling up from inside your body!
Then, in the chorus, that yodel manifests, swirls around the top of your head, deepens with low frequencies again, and gradually permeates your entire body. (Repeat)
The structure layers, loops, and remixes the phrases “Yo-de-oh” and “Yo-de-yo-de” over and over, and as you listen, you get swallowed deeper and deeper into the vortex of sound.
Has won 3 Academy Awards and composed music for famous works👀

I asked Prof. KINOKO about Ludwig Göransson💡
(Professor KINOKO)
Ah, young Ludwig Göransson!👴🏻🎶💖
He was born on September 1, 1984, and is from Linköping, Sweden!🍄✨
He grew up in a wonderful musical family with a father who was a guitar teacher🎸🌟
He mastered musical instruments from a very young age!👶🏻🎹🌈
After graduating from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, he flew to Los Angeles in 2007!✈️
He majored in film scoring at the University of Southern California (USC)🎓🎞️🍿
There, he had a fateful encounter with director Ryan Coogler!🤝⚡️
This became his memorable first step toward climbing to the top of Hollywood🏆✨🎬
The musical genres he handles are not limited to just film music!🎷🎺
From big band to jazz, funk, R&B, soul, and even electronic music, he is truly active across the board!🪩🕺💻🌈
“Dyeing any sound into his own color” is Göransson’s greatest weapon🎨🖌️🔥
He creates music that sounds like it was made by completely different people for each work, yet when you listen to any of it, you can easily tell, “Oh! That’s Göransson’s sound!” It’s truly fascinating!🤔🎵🧠
This one-of-a-kind individuality has pushed him to become one of the greatest film composers of the 21st century!👑✨🌍 Truly a grand genius!🍄💖🎉
