Music of the CelestialsHisaishi Joe
This is “Heavenly Beings’ Music” from The Tale of the Princess Kaguya.
The composer is Joe Hisaishi, well known for his music in Studio Ghibli works.
Hisaishi is one of the representative composers for Studio Ghibli, but interestingly, he usually scores only films directed by Hayao Miyazaki; when other directors are involved, different composers tend to take over.
The director of The Tale of the Princess Kaguya is Isao Takahata, making this a rare case where Hisaishi worked on a non-Miyazaki film.
Since Princess Mononoke, full orchestras have more frequently been used for in-film performances.
As Ghibli and Hisaishi’s popularity has grown, there have been more concerts as well, and it’s said that Hisaishi creates new arrangements for each concert.
It might be fun to compare the soundtrack versions with the concert versions.
Angel and DemonGRe4N BOYZ
The anime One Piece has been loved for many years.
Because it’s such a long-running series, the theme song changes every few cours.
The song Tenshi to Akuma (Angel and Devil) is the latest opening theme.
It’s by GRe4N BOYZ, but it doesn’t feature much of their signature high tones.
While the overall range is on the higher side, it’s not extremely wide, so it’s actually a song that’s relatively easy for young elementary school children with youthful voices to sing.
