Bu...Hisaishi is one of my favorite anime composers. But he has a real western sound to his work, and I think that is where his appeal lies. His music sounds like it would fit perfectly in any Hollywood film of the same era. <br /><br />That said, he has a signature style that is very much Hisaishi. You hear his piano work and you won't mistake him for John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith or James Horner. <br /><br />The guy is really prolific too, he does a lot of work for non-anime films in Japan as well as television series. But his work with Miyazaki is always special. <br /><br />It was hard to pick just one track from "Castle in the Sky", lots of great material in there.Roman J.
