Porco Rosso carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. Mila Sparrow has compared writing for Joe hisaishi’s new album to that on ‘Porco Rosso’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This disc has all of the essential Joe hisaishi classics. I love this album so much, i’ve been crazy about Joe hisaishi ever.
Mamma Aiutto had me crying as I was able to relate so well. Music in Addio! is excellent as in all tracks of Porco Rosso. Kaerazaru Hibi very upbeat. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. Seribia Maachi is one of the coolest songs Joe hisaishi has ever recorded. Music and lyrics of Flying Boatment creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. This track is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure on Porco Rosso. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Porco E Bella ~ Ending. You have to get essence of the Fio ~ Seventeen’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. Charming song, great melody. A unique and uplifting song. Partnership is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. Kyouki ~ Hishou - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. Joe hisaishi sings his heart out in Adoria No Umi E. This song may be the most meaningful. Areno No Hitomebore is almost impossible to review. Natsu No Owari Ni one is one of the better boring ones. Ushinawareta Tama ~ Lost Spirit still maintains something of a specific flourish. Dogfight is absolutely incredible. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Sakuranbo No Minoru Koro is the marvelous blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. Toki Ni Wa Mukashi No Hanashi O is a medium tempo tune.
