Throughout his long career, Hisaishi has worked extensively on music for film, anime, computer games, television and advertising. He also created the music for the 1998 Paralympic Games in Nagano. Hisaishi’s most famous works are for the cult films of Takeshi Kitano and, of course, for the cartoons of Hayao Miyazaki.
Hisaishi and Miyazaki are a union of equal brilliant creators. You will never understand for sure: Miyazaki’s films became brilliant thanks to Hisaishi’s music or Hisaishi’s music became brilliant thanks to Miyazaki’s films.
Jo Hisaishi is one of the most famous Japanese composers. He released his first album ‘Information’ in 1982. In 1983, Isao Takahata recommended the young composer Hayao Miyazaki to write the accompanying album for the manga Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Miyazaki liked Hisaishi’s work so much that he invited him to write music for the film “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.” Hisaishi’s work on Nausicaa made him famous. In gratitude, he worked on all of Miyazaki’s subsequent films.
Hisaishi received a record number of times (four) Japanese Film Academy Awards in the category “Best Film Score”. Three of them are awards for music to films by Takeshi Kitano: “Sonatine” (1993), “The Boys Are Back” (1996), “Fireworks” (1997). He also composed the soundtracks for Kitano’s films Scenes by the Sea (1992), Kikujiro (1999), Brother of the Yakuza (2001), Dolls (2002) and Yamato (2005).
