Mulan 2 Soundtracks

Kenji Kawai has enjoyed a successful career as a composer for anime, video games and TV, having scored soundtracks for various projects throughout Asia. He is the musical genius behind popular anime and video games such as Ghost in the Shell, Ranma 1/2 and Death Note.

Kenji Kawai, Prolific Composer

Kawai studied music at the Shobi Music Academy for one year before dropping out to form a fusion rock band called Muse. He began composing for commercials and TV. At the suggestion of colleague Naoko Asari, he began composing for anime soundtracks. Kawai has also scored video game and live-action movie soundtracks. He has scored over 70 soundtracks since the early 1980's and has been been nominated for Best Original Film Score at the Hong Kong Music Awards in 2006 and 2007 for his work on Seven Swords and A Battle of Wits.

Score Highlghts of Higashi no Eden

There are 26 tracks included in the Higashi no Eden (Eden of the East) OST. Kawai's score includes jazz fusion, pop and classical elements. Society and Blue Monday are two classical themes. The piano is given a deliciously simple, yet mysterious ostinato theme in Society, while the strings add to the mystery with somber sustained chords.
