Hisaishi Joe, who has composed numerous animation music with Studio Ghibli, has communicated with the public through music that utilizes not only classical music but also various elements of Japanese traditional music scales. Among them, the animation film "Princess Mononoke," which was produced in 1997, is set in the ancient Japanese Muromachi era. The two selected songs in the film's soundtrack contain the film's thematic consciousness, effectively conveyed through various musical elements to deliver the message of the movie.
Music is a crucial element in the expression of visual media, and its role has been emphasized. Through its interaction with visual media, its role is further emphasized. Sometimes, music goes beyond the visuals and conveys the meaning of the visual to the listener, vividly reminding them of the message the director intends to convey. This paper serves as an opportunity to deeply understand the interaction and meaning between visual media and music, especially by examining songs that enhance the visual beauty by incorporating traditional Japanese ideas. I hope that various studies on music in animated films will continue in the future, and I hope that this study will be helpful in the creation and research of music for animated films.
