Dear brothers and sisters,

Japanese animated films with hand-drawn and hand-painted pictures are beautiful. They’re beautiful because their colors make us feel peace. Their colors are so harmonious. Their artists are very talented.

Japanese animated films have beauty in both visual effects and music.

Let’s listen to their music, Studio Ghibli music. Studio Ghibli, Inc. is a Japanese animation film studio based in Koganei, Tokyo, Japan. Composer Joe Hisaishi has provided the soundtracks for most of Studio Ghibli films.

This is Studio Ghibli 25 Years Concert by Joe Hisaishi in Budokan, Japan.

Enjoy and have a nice day.
