Sonatine I Act Of Violence - Joe Hisaishi

[LunaMoon0925]

久石さんさすがに年だから

こういう曲は二度とつくれないかも・・・

ジブリの久石よりも

ミニマルの久石のほうが

１００倍好きなのに・・・

@LunaMoon0925

同意、久石のインタビューでみたけど音楽家としての目標が２つあ­って

１つはミニマルミュージックで作品を残すこと、もう１つはメロデ­ィックな作品を残すこと。

たぶん前者はもう終えたと思ってるんだと思う

[coeism]

これもろ現代音楽だよね

[HolographixaS19]

ミニマルを商業的に成功させた偉人ですよね。

[koinosuke]

Some of my favorite music from any film. Criminally underrated soundtrack.

[blackjuveniles]

最初切れていなければなあ…

[BRUCE1997829]

幹麻一直用他爆頭的畫面

[33ticotico]

印象的な曲です。

この曲もフジテレビで94年に放送された「時をかける少女」（主­演内田有紀）の挿入曲で、とても気になる曲の一つでした。

Words fail me, the emotion that Joe's music and Takeshi's film stirs within me are profound! Thanks for posting this. I was lucky enough to see Violent Cop, Boiling Point and Sonatine on a triple bill in the Glasgow Film Theatre back in 93.

Hana-Bi is magnificent to.

[UROTSUKIDOJI1111]

reminds me of suspiria by the goblins

[SneakyMrPanda]

I own an orchestrated version of this piece (that's with a full orchestra, not like a techno orchestra), and while this piece itself is good, the orchestrated version is so moving

[snir143]

Amazing amazing song, especially in Climax scene. It was anazing, when Takeshi came out of the car casually with M16 gun. This song matches it like anything.

Takeshi + Joe = Perfect Combo :-)

[GodDog1611]

A masterpiece this movie is.Laying low during a gang war never look so relaxing.

[PingeMusic]

cool song

[mallaes2006]

Amazing soundtracks to amazing films :)

[lazthaking]

aneki... its total war now.

sonatine...takeshis best movie,..

[Songoku93]

when you watch the film, don't try to understand it. Just watch it. It's like with every Kitano movies. Surrealistic and lovely.

[joris777]

lovely???they are good movies but lovely in not the first word which springs in my mind.

Cheers,

JJ

[Kankannan]

Wow, what a song... I cant believe how good Joe Hisaishi is, this song and that incredible picture makes me make up pictures in my head showing gunfire and yakuzas involved in a story of epic quality. Im definetly watching this movie

[Dashingzeb]

u must watch it...... great emotionless acting by Kitano as well..... Thankx

[Kankannan]

I already did watch this and Hana-bi and I was blown away, 2 of the greatest movies ever... why are they so unknown though?

[IIramboII]

@Kankannan they are unknown because people are too lazy to watch subtitled films.

[Dashingzeb]

I myself discover Japanese films while reading empire magazine....ever since then I am a big fan...people are beginning to know these magicians now.... Thankx Kankannan.

[jojoag1]

@Kankannan ... Because Takeshi Kitano doesn't need to be well known world wide in order to be successful. Sonatine is my #4 on my top list, the scene on the beach when they're just playing around is one of my favourite scenes. I'd recommend Kids Return and Violent Cop, both directed by Kitano and Kids Return's soundtrack was composed by Joe Hisaishi who also composed the music for Sonatine. Enjoy.

[Kankannan]

@jojoag1 Hana-Bi is 4# on mine, and I agree, I love the russian roulette one the most. However I feel he deserves more attention, he's one of the best directors in the world. And yes, I've already seen almost every movie he made and loved every single one.

[jojoag1]

@Kankannan ^_^ He's one of my favourite directors. I'd actually be speechless to meet him, probabily stand there giving him one of those signature empty expressions you see in his films. I don't know if he'd appreciate that though, lol. God Bless Kitano. Looking forward to seeing Outrage, I know it won't be as good as Sonatine, Violent Cop or Boiling Point. I've missed watching a good Yakuza Film ='( if you've got some time, try Bitter Sweet Life. Korean Gangster movie, worth watching. Good day.

[shirahime23]

the beginning makes you think of code geass, c.c's theme...

[Manfiztek]

@shirahime23 :

Can you post link of the CC theme please?

[marcosjoy]

what a great fretless sound!

[kelillo]

AWESOME piece of music.

As it is said in the film : "A simple but powerful simphony"

just GREAT!!!!!

[Notizbuechlein]

Amazing!! This ist one of my favourite songs!

I don't know the Film, but I realy want to try it just because of this wonderful music.

Joe Hisaishi is best!

[eksrazor]

movie will blow you away.. best movie ever made.

[apsert]

Soulds like Mike Oldfield Tubelar Bells!

[ultimategoobah]

well, a part of it sounds like tubular bells..I agree, though he does change it.

[slaveoftheheart]

it does say 'arranged' by hisaishi so i guess he sort of sampled the tubelar bells main piano melody and made it his own by orientalising it in a way.

thanks go to apsert for opening my eyes to mike oldfield's tubular bells, which came before 'sonatine I act of violence'

[ultimategoobah]

...do you really think this would be considered infringement?

[slaveoftheheart]

possibly, but it's not as if hisaishi and the company that released the soundtrack to sonatine are making millions of pounds from it (or dollars/yen) seeing how outside of japan it's quite obscure.

as opposed to like how, for example, kurt cobain did with nirvana for the song 'come as you are'

[Manfiztek]

@slaveoftheheart Codea gaess ran during 2005, sonatine was made in 1993. If someone should be suing someone, it must be Kitano doing the suing process. But hes too cool for that.

[joel1975]

I love this theme...

[lunarprata]

Good taste!!!!

I just love it!!!!

Te amo!!!!
