UPBI-1014: W.D.O. / Joe Hisaishi & New Japan Philharmonic World Dream Orchestra

[Revoc]

I noticed a weird thing in the ending credits of this DVD. In the tracks from Psycho Horror Night concert, there is a horn player named Nozomi Ohashi, same name of the this girl from Ponyo. According to the credits transcribed by dancey, the same name appears in the Psycho Horror Night album (both are recordings of the same concert). It seems a mistake.

I’ve tried to pay attention to the horns section in the video. Besides Ohashi, are credited Shiro Ide, Yuta Ono and Yuka Takeuchi (I couldn't find a picture and a kanji name of her). Probably the uncredited horn player is Marie Fujita (she is a member of New Japan Philharmonic) if you compare the last picture with the profile photo. Take a look:

I can check the booklets if I can find them when I get home (I'm at work), but any of the Hisaishi albums that have detailed transcriptions like this are probably because the insert was already in English. I haven't done any detailed performer transcription/translation/radical lookup for anything other than the Yamato Box or what I consider major artist fields (composer/arranger/lyrics/vocal).

Seems a strange error to make if it's a printing error, considering that Ponyo wasn't even out for another 2 years?

Thanks, dancey. Yeah, it's really strange... I couldn't find a horn player with this name Nozomi Ohashi. Also, I've found a possible mistake in the credits of the video: the harp player Yuko Yamaguchi is also credit for piano & celesta. In the Psycho Horror album, Ryuta Suzuki is credited for the piano & celesta performer according to your transcription (I think this is the correct).

[dancey]

For some reason I thought this was a cd but it's not. I didn't transcribe these notes but I know I did Psycho Night Horror. This also isn't listed in my collection but I'm fairly certain I bought it. I don't think there's a Hisaishi release in the last 8 years that I haven't bought. I'll double check when I get home!

[dancey]

Definitely written that way. It is weird.

[Revoc]

Thanks for the confirmation, dancey. At least the credits from this booklet confirm that Ryuta Suzuki played piano & celesta in the Psycho Night Horror concert.
