this is amazing his music really does speak for itself i get chills from listening to his songs japan always has the best musicians I WANNA move to japan T-T
This is Joe Hisaishi, from Japan, not China. He composed almost all of the songs from Hayao Miyazaki's films. He is, honestly speaking, nothing short of a genius in music. Please show some respect.
Man they made a lot of mistakes for a professional orchestra! But this is my favorite song from Spirited Away.. so beautiful. I like the changes in this live version.
Does anybody know where I can have the entire Orchestra score for this song? And I mean scores for Band, Strings, and Percussion. Not just for Piano and Strings. I'm trying to convince my band teacher to let us (at least) play this song for concert season and all I need, is to find the Music Scores. Help please!
get the man a stand for gods sake. He can't read the sheet music well. I tmust be very difficult to try to read the music. However, Joe Hisaishi is an inspiration because of his amazing ability to compose that many music.
@SouskeSagara1 OK... You've grown up with Studio Ghibli. Ermh.. I've grown up too, but not especially with Spirited Away. Spirited Away is the most popular Ghibli's movie, and of course some idiots have grown up with that. I've grown up with Nausicaä and Mononoke, they are really the best films from Studio Ghibli, because they are made by Hayao Miyazaki and the original MASTERPIECE musics are made by Hisaishi.
@SouskeSagara1 I watched Spirited away too, though it was the last one from Studio Ghibli that I watched. The rest that are made in 2000-century sucks, and you're an idiot.
this music is very beautiful people do not understand how apresia not, if I'm also a fan of hip-hop and pop, but this expresses much more than our modern genres
What struck me as the most awesome is that Hisaishi wasn't conducting- instead blasting through with the other musicians there, dancing on the keys with the same imaginative determination it took to write the song.
I don't think this man is god. I believe he is a normal human being with an extraordinary gift, and we are all thankful he decides to share it. You have a lot of fans, Hisaishi-sama. I hope you know that, and never forget it.
@CrunchyCamera it is featured primarily in the scene when Haku is being attacked by the paper figures being controlled by Zeniba. It is about 2/3 into the film. Chihiro wakes up late in the bath house and notices Haku in dragon form being chased by dozens of paper figures
That guy directing them, waving that stick around, i never understood the meaning of that. Sure, it might be just to direct them, but how do you do that just by waving a stick up and down? Almost seems funny to me.
This song reminds me of Haku's transformation under Yubaba. It's so pure, noble and beautiful at the beginning, and becomes so chaotic and cacophanous towards the end. And it ends on a cliffy tone since this track is predominantly featured at two-thirds into the movie. Gotta love Joe Hisashi >.<! I cannot understand why this clip has not garnered more views. It's just as brilliant as One Summer's Day, if with a less mainstream sound.
dude this song makes me feel like haku in dragon-form flying through the air...sighhhhhh joe hisaishi is like the awesomest person in the world. i like raped the replay button 1 million times....0___0
The first few seconds, he snares you and puts you in a trance. Then he slams you off your feet and spends the next 2 minutes stripping you of everything you thought you knew. ...Then your heart breaks and the world implodes.
This man is from another dimension. These things don't exist in our world. How the hell does he do this??
Joe Hitashi, if only more people had watched Spirited Away as children, then maybe more would consider you one of the most innovative and talented composers of the past few years
