  2. Demetris will know better, but I think it was the tradition of piano concerto performances back in 18th Century.

    Miya, do you think this concert will get a DVD/CD presentation in the future?

  11. Here's (I think) the NHK-BS feature on the concert:

    Part I: here
    features Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Mononoke Hime (That Ta Ta Ri Gami cue rocks punk ), and Kiki's Delivery Service

    Part II: here
    features Ponyo on a Cliff by the Sea

    Part III: here
    features Laputa: The Castle in the Sky (I so love Kimi Wo Nosete (Carrying You) song here), Porco Rosso, and Howl's Moving Castle

    Part IV: here
    features Spirited Away (I think the songs were taken from the Image Album) and Tonari no Totoro

    Anyway, enjoy! cool

    EDIT: I also found the video for the NHK-BS2 version (1 hr 43 min), but I don't think I can post the direct link here. PM me if you want the link (it's a large file though ~1 GB).

    There were two versions of the NHK features.

    The shorter one (54 min.) was re-aired on November 8, 2008 on NHK main channel (terrestrial), and the longer one (103 min.) was re-aired on satellite channels (December 28, 2008 on NHK-BS-hi & January 2, 2009 on NHK-BS2).

    I saw the last 1/3 on BS2 when I was at my parents' home (where TV is alive but VHS recorder is dead tongue ), so I missed Mononoke! crazy But my uncle recorded it on DVD (if he didn't forget the promise wink ). Not sure when I can receive it, though.

    Joe Hisaishi appeared a morning TV show and performed live! smile
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h14l2cXa7dA

    He played:

    Oriental Wind (non-film music)

    Theme from Departures (Okuribito)
    (Oscar-winning movie. They said it's originally played by cello in the score. I want to see/hear it!)

    Theme from Ponyo On The Cliff By The Sea
    (They showed his first sketch, which he came up with at one of the early meetings with the director & producer)

    Improvised "antenatal training" (!?) music for the pregnant announcer spin

    Theme from I'd Rather Be A Shellfish (Watashi wa kai ni naritai)


    ... in the YouTube comment section, it seems someone posted an "anti-Hisaishi" comment (anyone can write such simple tunes, his piano performance is bad, blah blah blah), and he/she received lots of "pro-Hisaishi" comments... then the poster deleted his/her comment rolleyes

    I have heard Joe Hisaishi most famous scores these days. Spirited Away, Mononoke Princess and Arion.

    Spirited away : I consider Spirited Away the best of the bunch. Thematically very rich, devoloping the main theme with diferent arrengements, with a very epic powefull moments and with pretty impressive orchestrations wich gives color to this score.

    Mononoke Princess Score: I prefer this one over the symphoni, because it has some original use of synth and vocals in tracks like "world of death"."mononoke hime" theme is simply beatiful


    Arion Symphoni : I love this Flesh and Blood Sound, and his feeling of Roman movie, But the themes are not so memorable.

    Howl's moving castle : I only heard this one in the movie, but it seems a second division Mononoke Princess.

    Uh, it's not. It's a more lighter and less reverential score than Mononoke-Hime -- totally different scores.

    If you want to compare Hisaishi scores Spirited Away and Howl are better choices. But my new favorite is Ponyo on a Cliff by the Sea -- just catchy and light.

    Wow I didn't know about Arion! dizzy It seems it's an out-of-print soundtrack(s) from non-Ghibli anime film. I'll check it out if I have a chance.

    If you like Hisaishi's use of synth, try My Neighbour Totoro. There is a great piece of synth music The Path Of Wind cool

    The last summer's huge Ghibli concert will be released on DVD (probably Region 2) and BLU-RAY! punk

    The release date is July 3rd.
    http://wdshe.jp/ghibli/special/lineup2009/hisaishi.jsp (you can watch a trailer here)

    In addition to the NHK's 103 min. version, the official releases include MADNESS (from Porco Rosso) as an encore, and "Making Of" video.


    I REALLY want it, and a BLU-RAY player! someday... sad

    WOW! I'm so getting this! Hope they do international shipping...

    Didn't know Madness was performed there too. The only encore I saw on those YouTube videos was Ashitaka and San. Fantastic piece by the way.

    This is interesting- Hisaishi and Rahman!

    AR Rahman... has now tied up with Japanese music composer Joe Hisaishi for the music of their forthcoming Indo-Japanese venture.
    Our source said, “Rahman, Bharat Bala (director) and some people from Disney (who are producing the film) met Joe Hisaishi in Tokyo on April 6 to discuss the film. Apart from Kamal Haasan and Asin, the film also stars the Japanese actor Tadanobo Asano (Mongol, Wind Up Type, Last Life In The Universe) in a film which will trace the origin of the martial art in India.”

    Indeed, two giants outside Hollywood that nonetheless have succeeded in international - and even Hollywood - productions. Is it fair to call them the greatest living film composers of their respective countries? I think so.
