Joe Hisaishi

Any Hisaishi's fans out there? For those that do not know him, he made the majority of Takeshi Kitano's and Hayao Miyazaki's(Studio Ghibli) movies soundtrack.

Some of his works below:

Summer from Takeshi Kitano's movie Kikujiro:


The Path of Wind from Miyazaki's My Neighbour Totoro:


One Summer's Day from Miyazaki's Spirited Away(personal favourite):

I is a fan and My Neighbor Totoro was always my favorite (don't know why it just is)

Are you talking about the movie or the soundtrack? The movie was indeed very beautiful, it's amazing how Miazaki can combine everyday life with fairy tales. Hisaishi's sountrack was as always very good, though The Path of Wind is one of few memorable pieces from Totoro.

Something different from him:


...an instrumental piece from the same movie (Venus Wars)

Thanks for contribution, they are indeed little different from his usual works, but epic as usual. I like especially the second one.

Does anyone know where I am able to get his albums?

You can find quite a lot of his works on this forum page:

Of course it would be best to directly buy them from cdjapan.com to support him.

Thanks, I will try to buy some of his CD's then.
