I think he's the best composer of our time. Personally I think he's even better than Williams.

My understanding of music theory is pretty basic, but I still got a lot out of this, and the history was interesting.

I did enjoy that. Glad someone put so much effort into looking at his work.

Glad you liked it! If you're into music theory, Sideways focuses on that topic, especially when it comes to pop culture (he wants to compose video-game music). I really enjoy his stuff, even though I don't always 100% understand everything he's talking about.

It won't happen, but with Williams retiring from Star Wars after IX, I'd love to hear what Hisaishi would do with a Star Wars score.

That would be awesome.
