I feel like 《Satoshi Kon》's Works in film should be recognized more in the west than they do in the East, He's made some absolutely heart-wrenching stuff, I was even planning to have my family watch the 《Millennium Actress》 film with Me this coming Sunday, And let's not forget his (amazing) Partner-in-crime: 《Susumu Hirasawa》. This man is THE greatest Musician/Composer for anything EVER. He makes Songs that make sure to play the strings of Your heart; into a symphony, JUST BECAUSE HE CAN! The song(s) 《Prince of Key》/《Nigredo》 (Lyrical/Original Version of Prince of Key) and 《The Girl in the White Tiger Field》 are absolutely AMAZING tracks for Film, EVER!
《Susumu Hirasawa》really shines during the《Paprika》era of Satoshi Kon Films; 《Tokyo Grandfathers》 and the Anime 《Paranoia Agent》, They all have music that is PERFECT in evoking the same feelings of masked existential dread that the characters feel during the Films/Anime.
Both 《Satoshi Kon》 and 《Susumu Hirasawa》 leave a Legacy of remarkable talent for those who want to view it, Especially 《Susumu Hirasawa》, still making great music even at 71-Years-Old. But I genuinely hope this will inspire someone to broaden their tastes in Music and Film, even if it's just a small stepping stone for it.
