<a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-04-02/hisaishi-to-mark-25-years-of-ghibli-music-with-concert">Tokyo's Nippon Budokan will be hosting</a> (on August 4 and August 5) a special concert with Studio Ghibli soundtrack composer Joe Hisaishi (including a 200-piece orchestra and 400 chorus singers) to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his musical collaborations with famed anime director Hayao Miyazaki. Having begun working with Miyazaki in 1983 on <em>Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind</em>, Hisaishi has since composed the music for every single one of Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli movies, from <em>My Neighbor Totoro</em> to his latest effort <em>Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea</em> (due out in Japanese theaters in the summer of 2008).
