Masayoshi Fujita - Smoking Tigers (Original Score) (2025) [Official Digital Download]

Japanese vibraphonist, marimba player and composer Masayoshi Fujita has announced the release of his original score for Korean-American filmmaker So Young Shelly Yo’s debut feature, Smoking Tigers. The full score is out on June 19 on Erased Tapes Music.

Coinciding with today’s digital release of the film, Fujita offers a tranquil first glimpse with ‘Model Home Magic Moment’. “It was maybe the most difficult scene to score because of its emotional dynamics, and also the music had to match every little timing of the actors’ movements,” he adds. “I’m quite proud of how it came out.”

The film is set in Los Angeles in the early 2000s, and is a portrait of a lonely Korean-American teen named Hayoung who is taken under the wings of three wealthy students she meets at an elite academic bootcamp. As she falls deeper into their world, Hayoung works harder to hide her insecurities about her problematic family and lower-income background, only to discover the bittersweet pains of adulthood that will forever shape her life.
