About the song

Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi is a highly accomplished musician and composer, most regarded due to his involvement with the world-famous animation company ‘Studio Ghibli’.His piece ‘Merry Go Round of Life’, served as the main musical theme for the studio’s film‘Howl’s Moving Castle’, and thus the composer employed certain instruments and techniques to match the narration.

Even without knowing the overall storyline of the film, audiences can easily recognize the overarching themes of romance and fantasy simply from the use of specific instruments, tones, and musical techniques within the score. By using an orchestral arrangement rather than electronic sounds/manipulation, the final theme corresponds to the age of the film’s setting, and furthermore, conforms to the traditional values held by the director Hayao Miyazaki.

Overall, Hisaishi has again composed a beautiful and dynamic orchestral film score, that exhibits a simple waltz melody accompanied by an array of complex rhythms, harmonies, and musical techniques.
