Dear Marco Sousa, Thank you very much for your heartfelt message. I think truly honor that Cinema Symphony 2007 has stayed with you over the years. Should I have the pleasure of performing again in the future, I sincerely hope you’ll be able to attend. Best regards, Kenji Kawai
[5838] Cinema Symphony 20XX? By : Marco SousaDate: 2025/04/09(Wed)08:19:52 [Res]
Dear Kenji-san, I hope everything is well with you. I believe that we all have one concert we wish we could have attended at one point in our lives, but for whatever reason it was not possible. Too young, could not afford it at the time, schedule, sold-out, etc. For me, that concert is Cinema Symphony 2007. I was a poor college student at the time but I was lucky to buy the concert DVD some years later, and every time I watch it I think to myself “I wish I could’ve been there!”.
It’s been 18 years since then, and now I’m fortunate enough that I can visit Japan from time to time. It would fill me with pure joy if the reason for one of these visits to Japan was to attend one of your concerts in the future.
I sincerely wish you all the best.
Kind regards, Marco Sousa

こんにちは。
4Kリマスター版 「GHOST IN THE SHELL / 攻殻機動隊」、「イノセンス」を鑑賞して、 改めて音楽の素晴らしさを再認識しました。
そこから波及して..といいますか、公開当時から気になっていたのですが、 実写版「GHOST IN THE SHELL」のエンディング曲“Utai IV: Reawakening”の 歌詞が知りたいのですが、「Avalon」や「イノセンス」の時みたく、 こちらで歌詞を掲載して頂くことはできませんか?
ご検討いただければ幸いです。

Hi! Im a young northern British developing dancer... slash director.. film maker - unsure on my title yet.
I most recently made a personal short film documenting a place where I'm from following my siblings and their stories - challenging social realism as a genre I decided to use 'Voyage to Avalon' as sample sound so my composer could get a feel of the triumph tht I wanted to be felt.. Since.. the sound feels so right in this part of the film, it only made sense to ask how or if I could use it. I plan on sending my film to short film festivals!
Would this be possible? (I love your talent)
Thanks for your time Tanica

Dear Roy, Thank you for enjoying my music! I think I used E4XT ULTRA, JV5080, KURZWEIL2600 mainly for I played some kind of percussions and I also remember using samples of them. However, I don’t remember a lot because it was old program…. Best regards, Kenji Kawai

Hi Mr. Kawai!
you are one of my favorite composers working in music.
i think your OST for Patlabor 3 is my favorite of yours. i also think the synths are some of my favorite sounding ever.
do you build custom patches on your sound modules or use the stock presets mainly?
and do you remember which synths you used the most on this soundtrack?
your work touches on a feeling i haven't found anywhere else in music. thank you for the endless inspiration you give to fans across the world!

Hi! I am a huge fan of the anime Seirei No Moribito/Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, & i would love to listen to the OST on spotify! Currently, there is no way to stream the OST other than on CD, and youtube. I would greatly appreciate it if the soundtrack could be released on spotify! Thank you!

Dear Jean Sid, Thank you for listening my music. Actually, I have never worked for “Jin-Roh” so, I don’t know about this film enough. Sorry I can’t comment about your question. I try to keep do my best for composing! Best regards, Kenji Kawai

Happy New Year Mr. Kawai.I was browsing through your work a Time ago. I had recently heard about Mr. Oshii's involvement in Jin-Roh. Knowing that you composed for the two previous films, I wanted to ask you: Do you think you have done a similar work to what we find in the film? I would have really loved to hear your version of the soundtrack. A big hug and my best wishes to you.
