Shiro Sagisu & Piano Love Themes
Shiro Sagisu is a well known anime composer who has been working on soundtracks since the early Eighties. He is a skilled pianist, and one of his specialties is writing love themes for the piano. I’m exploring two of his compositions today: “Seventeen Love” (1985) and “Quatre Mains” (2012). Both songs are themes concerning teenage love.
One of Shiro’s first anime soundtracks was for the 1985 anime Genmu Senki Leda (The Fantastic Adventures of Yohko). Shiro composed a beautiful piano melody entitled “Seventeen Love,” which begins with soft chords, then builds to a tempestuous climax: seemingly expressing the timeline of a relationship. I have never seen Leda, so I can’t comment on the story, but the music speaks of young love, naiveté and nostalgia. Here is a video sample with the track:
The ending, especially, makes me think of an abrupt end to the relationship. It’s so heart-rending and full of distress. Regardless, it effectively makes me feel like I’m listening to a love story through music.
Shiro’s most recent sweeping, and again, tempestuous, piano love theme is from the 2012 anime “Rebuild of Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo.”Having seen this anime, I can comment on the characters’ relationship. These teen characters are not explicitly stated to be lovers, but Shinji and Kaworu become closer than friends during the movie, and a special scene involving a seemingly impromptu piano duet reveals the “feelings” Shinji is experiencing with Kaworu through their music-making via a montage of images and colors. Offhand, I recall a scene with two white stallions running in a watercolor meadow and piano keys swathed in layers of rainbow colors, seemingly playing themselves. There are many more, but the scene depicts the two companions spontaneously composing their own duet. Subsequently, they bond and become partners in the main plot of the anime, involving the saving of the world and all that jazz. Here is a video sample of “Quatre Mains:”
I am particularly fond of the motif that begins at 0:31 seconds.
Shiro Sagisu has not lost his touch when it comes to piano compositions. It’s wonderful to listen to the differences between the two pieces, as they share the theme of young romance with musical flare. Again, “Seventeen Love” is from 1985, and “Quatre Mains” is from 2012.
I wanted to share this because I’m such a Shiro Sagisu fanatic, and because his music has been an inspiration to me in my game composing work. Comment with your thoughts, if you want!
