Masashi Hasegawa / 長谷川将志

Every performance tells a story.

I don’t play a song until I understand the world behind it.

Before composing for a Paris Fashion Week runway show, I visited the textile factory where the fabrics were woven. I recorded the sounds of the looms. The music grew from there — tracing the journey of the cloth before it became something beautiful.

These Ghibli pieces are no different. I’ve watched each film hundreds of times. When I play, I’m not covering a song — I’m returning to a specific moment, a feeling, a scene that never left me.
