He is also the composer of the background music of the Korean mega-hit movie "Welcome to Dongmakgol".
Having studied composition, Hisaishi has composed music for commercials and dramas as well as movies, and also works as a pianist and producer.
He is recognized as an unrivalled film composer in Japan as a four-times Japanese Academy Award winner--receiving the awards for three straight years starting from 1992 and again in 1999 with the music for Hana-bi.
This marks his second concert in Korea. He previously held a concert at the Sejong Center for Performing Arts in 2001. Playing the piano and conducting the orchestra himself, Hisaishi will present his masterpieces including the soundtrack of "Welcome to Dongmakgol"."
