Shigeru Umebayashi

“I always try to listen to different variety of music and relate to them as much as possible. Different style and different texture of music attract me very much. And being a composer, I should be able to adapt myself to all type of music; just like in the industry of fashion, cooking, architecture….etc, they all have different styles, and music is just the same. If we force ourselves to come up with something good, the chances are we often lack in something, whether that may be the passion.”
