A year after the release of his hit compilation
Dream Songs
, renowned Japanese film composer
Joe Hisaishi
returned with a sequel collection,
Songs of Hope: The Essential Joe Hisaishi, Vol. 2
. While volume one was packed with his popular themes for the beloved Studio Ghibli films (
Porco Rosso
and
Princess Mononoke
are the lone representatives here), part two sticks mostly to his work outside of the animation world. Selections from
Kids Return
(1996),
HANA-BI
(1998),
Kikujiro
(1999), and
Departures
(2008) are included, as well as solo tracks that range from his 1981 debut
MKWAJU
through his decades-spanning
Works
series. Imbued with warmth, purity, and joy,
Hisaishi
transports listeners to far-off places with these comforting piano melodies, which are at once strangely familiar yet revelatory. Although the heavy-hitters from those more well-known Ghibli soundtracks are absent here, these deeper cuts offer a full primer to the relatively lesser-explored corners of his catalog. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
