“Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space” (released in 1982)
Sorry for the sudden message—this is about anime.
As a Showa-era guy, I can’t skip Gundam.
Back then I didn’t really understand music, but I remember that for some reason the music in the final scene really stuck in my head.
Now I think I get why: it doesn’t resolve to the tonic at the end; it finishes with a kind of minor feel.
I like that.
“Memories of Murder” (released in 2003)
Do you like Korean films? I love them.
They’re suspenseful, with a worldview that, for some reason, is hard to capture in Japan.
The realism is outstanding.
The music is by Taro Iwashiro—beautiful sounds that match the film’s content in the best possible way.
Moé no Suzaku (released in 1997)
I might get scolded for saying this, but I’ve liked director Naomi Kawase since before she became famous, and I became captivated by 16mm film.
Her works feel real and warm; there isn’t much music, yet it’s like a world of piano sounds you might have heard once at school.
