Talented Composers

Im not very into the composers field, but so far, i have listened to two very talented composers.

First of is Toshiro Masuda, the composer for all of Naruto's soundtrack. Sadly, he did not return to compose Shippuden. His songs consist of a variety of instrument be it traditional or modern, and the way he puts in emotion into the songs is unique, take Grief and Sorrow as well as Sadness and Sorrow, both songs can make you cry if you listen to it. Beautifully sorrowful.

Next is Jay Chou. He mixes western and eastern music into his songs, making it unique and different. Sound effects from everyday life like ping pong balls, and telephone rings and helicopters are used in his musics. Take San Nian Er Ban for example, tells the story of a student who is successful in playing ping pong.
