There is a kind of music called Jiu Rang Shi

With the light dance of the conductor's arm, strings of notes flow magically from the fingers of the performers. The music infiltrated my ears like water, penetrated into the depths of my soul from every pore of my body, and finally flowed out from the corner of my eyes... I

like to linger in Hayao Miyazaki's anime, and find simplicity, beauty, strength, and growth from it. Each lovely image tells his old man's understanding of the world and his hope for the future. Whenever you are immersed in that pure world, you will be touched, inspired, and led unknowingly. There was even a time when I regretted that it was too late for me to come into contact with such a beautiful animation. However, there is no age limit for Enlightenment, and the emotion knows no borders. So, in this way, it is natural to get acquainted with the music in Hayao Miyazaki's anime - Hisaishi Ryo.

Miyazaki's animation can achieve the effect that is popular in the world today, and Hisaishi's soundtrack is indispensable. Today, the two are indistinguishable from the primary and secondary, as if they live together, and they are indispensable. Because, once one loses one, it is no longer "Miyazaki Hayao Anime", nor "Hiashi Ryo Music". Although interdependent, they do not depend on each other. They can completely get rid of each other and become independent, showing their unique charm. The strange thing is that no matter it is the main animation picture, the background music is supplemented, or the music is main, the picture is supplemented, they can't erase their dazzling light.

In order to experience the feeling of being there, in order to find a spiritual touch, in order to quiet down the noisy self for a long time... Or there are not so many purposes and excuses at all, just because I like it, I gradually entered the music of Hisaishi the palace.

I don't know if it's to cater to the atmosphere of the anime, or just to combine it with the anime just as a self-expression. In short, Hisaishi's music is more or less melancholy. Whenever the excited heart sounds at the moment when the music starts, the heart will calm down. The sound of water surrounds and surrounds all my senses. That kind of softness is like gentle comfort, like careful comfort; that kind of strength, hidden behind the softness, supports everything. The combination of the two is just right, causing agitation and resonance in the heart. This vague sadness is reflected in every movement, even if it is as cheerful as the theme of "My Neighbor Totoro", it also contains a hint of sadness. Not to mention Castle in the Sky, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies. These melodies, laced with sadness and even some worry, are more real. Therefore, tears will flow involuntarily, I don't know if it is for this anime, or myself, or maybe it is just a response to the sadness of the music itself.

Despite these sorrows, Joe Hisaishi's music is not weak, nor can it withstand any blows. At the end of each movement, there is always a touch of toughness in the softness. The perseverance implied in this is the core of Hisaishi's music. It has its own beliefs and perseverance. Although there will be hopeless sadness, hopeless confusion, and difficult choices, it still believes in a bright future. This is just like what Hayao Miyazaki expresses in the anime - there are always hardships in the process, but there is always hope in the end. Perhaps the two are so compatible because of this spirit - he understands his comic world, he understands his musical expression. Therefore, when the surging sadness and melancholy turn into wisps of breeze, there will always be a slightly cheerful sunshine and beauty. Even so, this ending is not pure joy, but a little subtle. Perhaps, he also wants to promise a bright future for his ending, but this kind of happy ending is not realistic. Therefore, it can only be expected and expected with hints.

Today, the name Hisaishi is no longer just a name, it represents more meanings. Perhaps, when these three words are mentioned, another name "Hao Miyazaki" is the first thing people think of, and then a picture of pure cuteness will appear in their minds. But these are only fleeting, because the notes like water will swept like a wave, immersing in the heart, plucking the heartstrings. Those jumping notes will always linger in their minds, telling their truest thoughts. At this time, you will realize that there is a kind of music in the world, called Hisaishi Ryo.
