・Music in the style of Gabriel Urbain Fauré, Joseph Maurice Ravel, and Éric Alfred Leslie Satie (All three are French composers)
A drawing with a touch typical of "Tadashi Hiramatsu", I guess you could call it noble.
The music for this type of drawing turns to Fauré, Ravel, and Satie style.
This creates a clear contrast with the parody group.
These music is completely my taste.
If I were to go further, I would describe the French style of music as painting-like as opposed to anime (manga).
I learned about this later and had no idea about it at the time, but Hiramatsu is an expert in classical music, isn't he?
I think he has a unique musical sense that is different from that of Anno.
Hiramatsu's paintings are truly elegant and charming, which is exactly matched by his taste in music.
Unexpectedly, his paintings fit perfectly into that piano music group.
All Soichiro Arima-like pieces are piano music.
In general, piano alone and piano + string quartet music are the highlights of the serious part.
Yukino, on the other hand, goes all the way through and maximizes the range of changes in feelings, good and evil, beauty and ugliness, yin and yang, and other feelings.
The variety of her extreme emotional direction is also the variety of the animation itself.
Her heartfelt piano is a piece that goes back and forth from solo to Beethoven parody.
The Beethoven parody piece is a jumble of the Sagisu original and "Heroic Symphony"
This was the music used in the TV series of "Eva," in the scene where Shinji and Asuka synchronize and play the Twister game together.
Based on the successful experience of that, we decided to create a piece of music like that.
"The variety of her extreme emotional direction," as I mentioned earlier, is expressed in one song with great exaggeration and seriousness.
It is Beethoven, and if you make it exaggeratedly and seriously, it would be too much, which means that the more serious you try to make it, the more you will definitely laugh at it.
In fact, the members in the studio laughed during the recording session.
After 40 years of working in incidental music, I have yet to see a recording session where the studio was filled with laughter, except for "Kare Kano".
It was that much fun. Especially the first recording session.
