  Haley’s Favorites

  This one is cheating a little bit because it takes some of the best songs from across all of Studio Ghibli’s works (merry go round of life, the legend of ashitaka, a town with an ocean view, and more ) and combines them into one concert. There’s something whimsical and slightly melancholic about Hisashi’s work that always paired perfectly with the lush visuals and worlds that Miyazaki created. Closing your eyes, you can just picture gentle fields of flowers swaying in the wind, wild and mysterious foggy forests, intense and powerful monsters, a warm sea breeze, brave heroines making a stand. If I ever make any kind of music, I hope it can have an ounce of the emotional impact that Mr. Hisashi’s work instilled in me the first time I heard these songs.
