Ghibli Piano JazzJoe Hisaishi

When you turn Ghibli into jazz, the vibe changes and it suddenly feels much more grown-up.

The sound is lovely too; it’s more like you’re absentmindedly thinking, “Oh, a jazz piano solo, nice,” and then you realize, “Wait, it’s Ghibli!” That natural feel is the best.

Right from the start, I got excited when they suddenly launched into “It’s Only a Paper Moon.” It’s not an ultra-famous standard in Japan, but it’s a song I really like.

Hirota’s singing struck me as having a bit of a distinctive quirk, but it suits jazz very well and is quite good.
