Jean Hisaishi (Chinese: 久石 Jean, whose real name is Mori Fujisawa, was born on December 6, 1950 in Nakano, Japan) is a Japanese composer, conductor, singer, and pianist.
His works, you can't, there's no reason why you haven't heard of him, or even nowhere to hide. Feel free to hum, you must have heard it
This song is the song "Summer" composed by Hisaishi in Takeshi Kitano's "Kikujiro's Summer". When you hear music, you can think of the summer of laughter and tears in the movie?
And Hisaishi's more classic screen cooperation happened with Hayao Miyazaki. (It's hard to imagine two ordinary-looking uncles who will have such aesthetics after cooperation.) ）
In the 24 years from "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" to "Goldfish On the Cliff", the music production of all of Miyazaki's long-form animated films was run by Hisaishi, becoming an indispensable character in Miyazaki's works. Hisaishi has won the Japan Film Award for Best Music seven times and was awarded the Purple Ribbon Medal by the Japanese government in 2009.
Let's review the ten most classic songs of Hisaishi Jean.
One
Nausicaa Requiem
Hisaishi said that knowing Miyazaki was the happiest thing in my life; Miyazaki said that there was no luckier thing than knowing Hisaishi.
The two met in 1983, the year Miyazaki was working on his pioneering work, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
According to someone, Miyazaki met Hisaishi Jean, who was not famous at that time, in a studio converted from a broken bar, and in half a day, Miyazaki finalized Hisaishi Jean.
This song is an episode of The Valley of the Wind in the animated film "Valley of the Wind" directed by Hayao Miyazaki, with the help of The King Worm, when Nausicaa was resurrected, and composed by Hisaishi Jean, who had his daughter Fujisawa Mai (who was 4 years old at the time) sing. Because of the moving scenes and beautiful music, this touching clip in the movie made many fans cry.
Two
Castle in the Sky
Needless to say, a song that has affected countless people so far, the beautiful tune that makes people cry and the beautiful rhythm that moves the heartstrings are famous all over the world, and have been adapted into many versions and become a famous film and television song. This song also made the world remember the name Hisaishi for the first time.
Three
The Wind's Way
"Wind No Yong Dao" is an episode of "Totoro". Launched in 1988, Totoro depicts the beautiful nature that existed in Japan before the high economic development, the incredible world and rich imagination that only children can see, and is popular because it evokes the nostalgia of the audience. The soundtrack and interludes in the film are also loved and widely respected.
Four
《Ashitaka Sekki》
The theme song of "Princess Mononoke", this song has been used as background music by some TV series and TV programs from time to time, which has appeared many times in the background music of Xiao Feng in Huang Rihua's version of "Tianlong Babu", and even "Hundred Family Pulpit" has also been used. Although it has long been used "indiscriminately", I have to admit that this piece of music is majestic, epic and shocking, and extremely infectious and seductive. "Ashitaka Sekki", a Japanese pronunciation known as Ashitaka, is the name of the protagonist in the Japanese anime blockbuster Princess Mononoke.
Five
《The Rain》
The soundtrack of the film in "Kikujiro's Summer" can be said to be a piece of music that "first suppresses and then rises": the beginning of a piano brings people into a rainy night, and then the sad violin sounds, like a person with heavy thoughts trapped in sad memories... After a short rain sound, the cello tone with the same melody gradually sounded, as if the former infection evoked the same feelings, but the sound was more muffled, and finally faded into nothing... The world seems to be plunged into an endless rainy night... However, it is not really boundless, as the tone rises, a cheerful melody appears, like the protagonist after last night's baptism, packed up the mood, re-energized, and took a relaxed and firm step to get back on the road...
Six
The Convention of the World
The theme song of Hayao Miyazaki's 2004 anime film Hal's Moving Castle was sung by Chieko. In fact, it is Hisaishi Re-arranging, composed by Kimura Bow, and also the singer of the anime Spirited Away theme song "いつも何度でも"...
Seven
The Carousel of Life
Also the theme soundtrack of the animated film "Hal's Moving Castle", as soon as the music sounds, what comes to mind is the section where Harle and Sophie walk in the sky, classic!
Eight
Song of Terlu
"Song of Terru" is the theme song of the theatrical anime "Battle of the Earth and The Sea", sung by the voice actor Aoi Teshima, the heroine of the anime. As if it were a Scottish folk song that has traveled through time and space, "The Song of Teru" abandons the flashy arrangement and unrealistic mixing, only the simplest and most natural song leads the main melody, and the echo of bagpipes and violin adds a little bit of melancholy - in one breath, unpolished, faintly has the momentum of the legend coming again, and has smoothed the wounds in the heart when it has not yet been noticed, and the warmth has stimulated the teardrops in the corners of the eyes, crystal bright and beautiful.
Nine
《First Love》
Reminiscent of the feeling of first love... It's as simple as that, but it's so real.
Ten
"The Sun Also Rises"
In fact, there are still some good works in China, and there are also hisaishi creations. For example, the soundtrack in the 1997 film "The Sun Also Rises" directed by Jiang Wen is the use of Hisaishi Jean. In 2010, Jiang Wen filmed "Let the Bullets Fly", still using the original sound of Hisaishi's "The Sun Also Rises", and the opening and ending parts of the film were created by Hisaishi Jean.
The love of a musician can conquer the audience and conquer the world. What is particularly valuable is that Hisaishi's "love" is not sensational, but a deep, strong resonance. According to himself, from the time he entered the National Conservatory of Music, he pursued a kind of simple music. In this world of red dust, he hopes to wash people's souls with music. Hisaishi jean did it—either beautifully or sadly, and each of his music carried a heartfelt truth.
Hisaishi is 67 years old, but his feelings remain unchanged. And this may be the soul of his work, but also the real mystery of his success.
