Hisaishi has been with Studio Ghibli since Nausicaä Of The Valley Of The Wind in 1984 and has been responsible for the scores for Laputa aka Castle In The Sky , My Neighbor Totoro , Kiki's Delivery Service , Porco Rosso , Princess Mononoke , Spirited Away , Howl's Moving Castle and Ponyo . Hisaishi also picked up his baton for the forthcoming release of The Wind Is Rising . Give this man an Oscar!
