And people wonder why I'm so displeased with blockbusters these days. How many live action films have such absolutely astounding soundtracks anymore? The attention to detail that comes with Studio Ghibli films continues to amaze me. By far one of the most beautiful songs ever conducted. Brilliance, Hisaishi. Absolute brilliance.
Still keep coming back to this one. I think the melody in this is one of my very favorites in cinema. The whole piece really captures just what the whole mood of the movie is. Not usually a fan of anime but I have the rationality to consider Princess Mononke as perhaps a true masterpiece of animation and cinema.
Seriously. Every moment of the film is captured. The terror, anger, incessant killing and destroying in the collision of two worlds. And the beautiful theme-- a sad acceptance of an end and a hopeful new beginning. I love the film and the music so much.
"In ancient times, the land lay covered in forests, where, from ages long past, dwelt the spirits of the gods. Back then, man and beast lived in harmony, but as time went by, most of the great forests were destroyed. Those that remained were guarded by gigantic beasts who owed their allegiance to the Great Forest Spirit, for those were the days of gods and demons."
I can't imagine what it is like to be in the place of the composer. To write such beautiful music and then to witness it come alive before you. It must be amazing.
The emotion that Hisaishi puts into his music, it's not matched. He is my favorite Japanese composer, hands down. I listen to his music all the time: when I'm doing homework, drawing, reading...his music is just so calming and interesting. He has inspired me so much. Thanks Joe.
Is it just me but for some reason it feels very nostalgic, even though it's not like it reminds me of anything, the nostalgia doesn't come from anywhere, I just feel nostalgic about the past without knowing why.
Okay, this is simply genius! I love this soo much! It's raining where I am, and the thunder and lightning are somehow lining up with the song and I'm freaking out like "Oh my god this is AWESOME!"
I must say Joe Hisashi is one of the people that inspire me the most, whoever says that music has no feeling they are so, so wrong. This song and all of his work, brings joy, sadness and so many other emotions to me every time I listen his pieces
I can't handle this type of music, it gets into you -into your bones- and your whole being and takes you on a emotional ride. This sort of power over me intrigues me and freaks me out at the same time
I can remember watching this movie for the first time on Cartoon Network as a kid. It was my first Miyazaki movie and I was completely in awe at how fantastic and different it was. Now, years later, I can hear this music and still get that feeling of awe that I had back then.
my first anime is cowboy beebop and my first anime movie is princess mononoke. now I have seen every ghibli movie from 'Nausicaa of the valley of the wind' to "When Marnie was there.'
He's a genius. Hisaishi always knows how to play on emotions and certainly brings them out in his pieces. They ALWAYS somehow bring a tear to my eye when I hear them. Well done, Mr. Joe Hisaishi, well done.
My god the Violin is Crying .. I Remember back when I was like 4-5 me and my father went to a video club to rent a movie to see.. My father chose this movie.. After 15 years I am SO grateful that he did because it has affected me and so many ways and everytime a rewatch this movie I notice something different! Miyazaki's movies make you travel to diffrent worlds and combined with Hisaishi's music it's astonishing ! Dad, I just want to thank you for what you did for me that day...
I would have been the one lunatic of the crowd standing and screaming like a fool. I don't understand how anyone can be so proper after listening to something as emphatic and magnificent as that.
japanese audiences are notoriously expressionless. i know of some people who performed there and came back worried they didn't do so well. meanwhile i know japanese performers who play here in vancouver and are struck by how responsive the audience is.
Beautiful contemperary music. Unlike modern pop contemperary music, this type of contemperary music comes from the soul, not a computer creating most of the music.
When I hear the solo violin I see the tears of a lone child who ends up emotionally moving a whole nation/symphony. And every time I become that hopeful child.
This music and all the movie are an hymn to coexistence. It made me proud for needing others in life, proud to be so vulnerable, proud to be a human being
Ce film a bercé mon enfance avec les Disneys, mais celui-là était beaucoup plus poignant ! Je devais avoir 4-5 ans la première fois que je l'ai vu, j'ai été traumatisé la première fois par les démons et les scènes violentes, mais d'un côté j'étais... comment dire, émerveillé par le dessin, les décors, les musiques que je connaissais par cœur, les personnages. Et au final les scènes dures (pour moi à l'époque) ne me faisaient plus rien tant le film est beau! J'ai du le regarder des milliers de fois sans jamais m'en lasser, avec ce même émerveillement ! Merci Miyazaki et Hisaishi d'avoir fait ces chefs-d’œuvres ! Princesse Mononoke et Le Roi et l'Oiseau sont les deux films d'animations majeurs qui ont marqués mon enfance !
Je n'aurai su dire mieux :) Personnellement j'ai grandi avec Nausicãa de la vallée du vent (que j'avais sur une vielle VHS qui est devenue illisible à force de la regarder) un anime magique!
The violin solo is the voice of one person, maybe a child, whose enormous strength strikes hope of happiness back into the hearts of all those suffering from war.
People ask me why i don't like family guy. Because there is beauty in the world! This is a masterpiece, I wish quality was respected. Long Live Ghibli!
But... They're two completely different things? One is made only for the comedy, and the other is made as a beautiful piece of art. It's like trying to compare a cheeseburger from McDonalds with a 5 star restaurant meal... You can't.
"hardly anyone knows Studio Ghibli" lol you talk about the worldwide famous and critically acclaimed studio that was nominated for Oscar several times and even won one Family Guy has totally different kind of fame
Absolutely ethereal- this score. Hisaishi pours so much emotion into his music, as well as a legend-like quality. I can listen to this for hours and still feel chills run down my spine from these harmonies.
I love all of Mr Hisaishis music, but I'll have to say Mononoke Himes theme is one of his best compositions. The beauty of it, especially with Hisaishi-san at the piano and the fantastic violinist. This is music
i get goosebumbs whenever the violin solo comes on... im no expert in music or whatsoever, but that violinist really plays the violin with his heart... i feel like crying....
what a genius.... so far, there have been 0 songs that made me bored or dislike Joe. HE'S AWESOME LIKE THAT!!!! HE PUTS SOO MUCH FEELINGS TO SOO MANY OF HIS SONGS!!!!! SADNESS, HAPPINESS, THRILLING, EXCITEMENT, YOU NAME IT!!!! :D
I've listened to this piece of music countless times, always impressed by the film, and how the music was so important to it, never giving much thought to how it was created. However seeing it being performed is something even more awe-inspiring, seeing all these individual musicians and instruments working together to create this is truly impressive.
Wonderful! Japanese culture is full of impending great ideas, a really fertile tradition. And while China is of course the root culture, the Chinese now are moving away toward capitalism: what does that mean for Japan? The Japanese, while being financially very prosperous are guarding their intrinsic spiritual tradition, the Shinto tradition which is very unlike any other religion on earth, because it's really a root spiritual tradition, not a religion at all! This classical production is not accessible for many people for it's a synthesis of old Japanese musical and philosophical wisdom with the language of modern music, as we know it from Arnold Schönberg, Anton Webern, or Igor Stravinsky. Japanese prove their genius on a daily basis on the Internet, for all of us who never went there. They are one of the most unique populations on earth, living on a tiny assemblage of islands that are earthquake-prone, but they are perhaps the greatest people on earth in terms of creative genius. I love Japan!
This is one of the best movie scores I have ever listened to. It reflects on the movie so well! What a fantastic movie accompanied by such a great piece! 5/5
John Williams and Joe Hisaishi need to have a no holds barred death match, thunderdrome style: two greats of cinematic composition enter, one leaves. Or they can just both be awesome.
This soundtrack , like the film , is utterly beautiful. Princess Mononoke is probably my favourite film of all time because of how beautiful every little bit of it is.
I suggest to read the top entry *The Present* at *truthcontest◘com.* *The answers are there, it's a true game changer.* _Read it with an open mind and you will never go back to living in the animal mind like you do now._
I've been coming back to this video for about 7 or 8 years, minimum. Not only is this my favorite of Hisaishi, but this very specific symphony/video is the best out of the rest. I really wish there'd be a way to find out what presentation exactly was this from and to find a better quality recording.
Oh my gosh does anybody know where I can find the entire score for this piece??? I am with a youth orchestra organization for my state and my conductor said that we can play this piece if we can find the sheet music for it. Thanks!
anyone knows the name of the concert ?, this interpretation of this piece is much better than in other concerts, I need better quality! (Translated using google)
This is so beautiful. There is really no other way to describe it. Just the raw power and emotion behind this piece is enough to make me cry. And I do every time. Bravo. *standing ovation*
this is such an emotion evoking piece. I think whats important for a piece of music isnt about how well it is composed, but how it brings enjoyment to the audience and to evoke their emotions.
The time spent practicing each musical piece from all the sweat, blood and tears to perfect such an incredible musical piece. It would be such an honor if he came to Australia and performed here, it'll make my life complete and for others too ♥
And people wonder why I'm so displeased with blockbusters these days. How many live action films have such absolutely astounding soundtracks anymore? The attention to detail that comes with Studio Ghibli films continues to amaze me.

it's 15 years old and to me it's still one of the best performance. the violin solo allways brings me tears
5:49 the first violinist gave me goosebumps, awesome

Joe Hisaishi is a talent. One of the worlds greatest composers alive today. Even his work outside of ghibli is awe-inspiring.
EVERYTHING about Princess Mononoke is incredibly impressive: the characters, the ART, the STORY, and definitely the MUSIC!
I have been ugly sobbing at the beautifulness of this composition for 6 years, and I'll keep ugly sobbing till I die
5:50 that violin solo... no words
no joke.... i swear i got goosebumbs when the violins kicked in... this is beyond beautiful
Is it just me but for some reason it feels very nostalgic, even though it's not like it reminds me of anything, the nostalgia doesn't come from anywhere, I just feel nostalgic about the past without knowing why.
for me its more emotional..... i always break down into tears when i hear Joe Hisaishi's music..... so beautiful
+Lara Tan I can agree on most of his music! :)
Okay, this is simply genius! I love this soo much! It's raining where I am, and the thunder and lightning are somehow lining up with the song and I'm freaking out like "Oh my god this is AWESOME!"
That concertmaster is incredible. What he did at 7:06 is so delightful.
I must say Joe Hisashi is one of the people that inspire me the most, whoever says that music has no feeling they are so, so wrong. This song and all of his work, brings joy, sadness and so many other emotions to me every time I listen his pieces
I can't handle this type of music, it gets into you -into your bones- and your whole being and takes you on a emotional ride. This sort of power over me intrigues me and freaks me out at the same time
Shay45 I think it's why I love it
You totally described how I'm feeling right now. It's awesome and terryful at the same time.
I can remember watching this movie for the first time on Cartoon Network as a kid. It was my first Miyazaki movie and I was completely in awe at how fantastic and different it was. Now, years later, I can hear this music and still get that feeling of awe that I had back then.
I'm french, there's no words in french for this, I can't find one.
THIS IS JUST AWESOME!
Powerfull
On a pourtant beaucoup de mots pour exprimer ça :)
C'est tout simplement magnifique !
non c'est pas encore assez je crois^^ transcendant, là on s'approche!
ou alors on invente un mot pour notre ami Joe...
Hisaishisant? :)
un chef-d'oeuvre ? :)
Génial un tocard macroniste...
so beautiful it brings a tear to my eye
this was the first anime ive ever seen and was the one that got me into anime
my first anime is cowboy beebop and my first anime movie is princess mononoke. now I have seen every ghibli movie from 'Nausicaa of the valley of the wind' to "When Marnie was there.'

this man...knows how to tell stories with music...and it only accentuates Miyazaki's animations...
07:24 I saw God
Brilliant. Even after all these years. Just gorgeous music.

this was just simply emotionally powerful

I love how he smiles after every performance. Gosh! I love Joe Hisaishi.
All these people coming together and creating a unified sound that's beautiful and moving. It's really spectacular.

I teared up several times
People ask me why i don't like family guy. Because there is beauty in the world! This is a masterpiece, I wish quality was respected. Long Live Ghibli!
because it bothers me that a show that I find disgusting and low quality gets all the praise. And hardly anyone knows Studio Ghibli.

you talk about the worldwide famous and critically acclaimed studio that was nominated for Oscar several times and even won one
Family Guy has totally different kind of fame
This man is a genius and so are the orchestra's members. So much emotions it brings, it sounds so perfect, I don't even have words for this...
It has always left me speachless and always will. I wish they would come play it in Paris, this HAS to be listened in live.
Absolutely ethereal- this score. Hisaishi pours so much emotion into his music, as well as a legend-like quality. I can listen to this for hours and still feel chills run down my spine from these harmonies.

I think it's the elegant interface between music and visual excellence that makes Miyazaki's films the most beautiful ever made!

Some of the best music ever created right here.

I love this movie, and one of the reasons I love it is the lush, lyrical, haunting musical score.
what a genius.... so far, there have been 0 songs that made me bored or dislike Joe. HE'S AWESOME LIKE THAT!!!! HE PUTS SOO MUCH FEELINGS TO SOO MANY OF HIS SONGS!!!!! SADNESS, HAPPINESS, THRILLING, EXCITEMENT, YOU NAME IT!!!! :D

Scottrick that would be AWESOME!!!!!
What we need is a collaboration between the two to make something absolutely LEGENDARY
his music always make my heart feel so 'full'.. and want to burst into tears for no apparent reason! gawd I love his music
