Taking influence from both Japan and the West, Hisaishi creates compositions that blend in flawlessly with whatever media he is given to work with, whether it be creating an atmosphere or setting the scene in either a film or an animation. Hisaishi's talent within his genre sets him apart from his contemporaries and he is one composer that should definitely not be overlooked.
