They've turned music from Miyazaki's films into muzak over here. Insane I know. The first thing I heard was in the Mado Lounge in Tokyo, a high rise, fine dining-type place with an amazing view. A lounge, synth-heavy piano tune came on and I looked over at Hiro, our interpreter, and said, "Is that... Naussicaa?" Damned if he knew, but it was.
Now in Hong Kong, the main theme from My Neighbor Totoro is being played in cute little bells at the breakfast buffet.
This stuff actually works way better and taking Beatles and Billy Joel and turning them into Kenny G songs.
