Hisaishi Joe's music has the power to evoke the purest heart. Whether you noticed the soundtrack because of the animation, or you simply fell in love with his music. Joe Hisaishi is a person with magical powers, magical enough to make a 3-year-old child listen obediently in the concert hall, magical enough to make a teenager addicted to games and anime enter the symphony concert hall for the first time.

Hisaishi Joe is known as a musician who touches the soul for his spiritual creations that are full of childlike innocence but can explain philosophy. He has perfectly collaborated with Hayao Miyazaki on the animated masterpieces "Princess Mononoke", "Spirited Away", "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", "My Neighbor Totoro", "The Sky of the Wild Child", "Castle in the Sky", " "Kiki's Delivery Service", "Kikujiro's Summer", etc., the melodious and lively melodies have cultivated a large number of animation fans and supporters of Joe Hisaishi in China. This night, Hisaishi Joe took us to ride Nausicaa's aircraft through the Valley of the Wind, wandering in the fluorescent mountain forest where Princess Mononoke haunted, and then took a quiet old-fashioned train to glide across the silent water, running To the wonderful land of hidden gods...
