wildstorm 319 Posted January 3 japanese composer and pianist, Joe Hisaishi, popular for his work on Studio Ghibli films, has postponed another concert due to ill health. probably nothing (as it is cold and flu season afterall, and he is a 74-years old man), but maybe something to keep an eye on. this will be the 6th postponed or cancelled concert in 2 years, we'll see if these cancellations increase in frequency. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
