Interview: Music Composer Shiro SAGISU on Returning to BLEACH
That's so cool.Looking back on your hundreds of tracks you created for BLEACH, which songs stand out to you most? Please tell us the reason, too.
You picked a tough question to start with. I've written so many songs but each one is like my child, so it's very hard to choose what's best. They're all equally memorable and important. But if I absolutely had to choose one, I would definitely pick “Number One” because it became the face of BLEACH. Originally, I wrote it to be Ichigo Kurosaki's theme song, but for the fans it became a victory fanfare, so it's very memorable.
Which track do you typically start with when creating? Is there a specific order you tend to follow? For example, starting with the main theme track or battle songs…
I'm very animalistic in the sense that I write whatever comes to my head. I constantly have music coming out of my head. Whenever I go on a daily walk, a song just pops up in my head and I write that. So there's no set order.
I also want to add that because BLEACH was such a long-running series, I had to constantly write songs for both the TV series and the movies for years. I was always writing songs. But I actually think that worked out for the best because composing became like a battle for me. Writing songs that matched battle scenes and such was very easy.It's natural...You're also working on the soundtrack for the final arc of the anime series, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War. How does it feel returning to this anime after so long, and has anything changed with your musical approach in the meantime?
Because I had worked on BLEACH for such a long time, it was very exciting for me to be able to go back to the series and work on it again. Like I mentioned before, when I'm in an excited state, it's a lot easier to make music for BLEACH, and it often comes out better for it. I feel like I'm in a very good place right now. Even though there was a big break between the last series and this one, it didn't really matter to me. I was able to switch my Bleach brain on immediately and write music for it again. It felt very natural.
A wonderful interview, it's nice to find out how this composer whose music I've been listening to for so long thinks and feels about the amazing music he's created.Do you have any comments for your overseas fans?
Everyone is connected nowadays through social media or the internet. Nobody imagined that it would be like this 20-30 years ago. Even though the internet did exist back then, now everything can be released to the world instantaneously. So whether it's a thought you have at the moment or a sound you created that you want everyone to listen to, you can transmit it in real time.
The connection between me and my fans is much closer and stronger now. It's very important to me and I like to stay in touch. I do have a Twitter, so I would love it if everyone follows it.
Also, unlike a lot of other Japanese composers, I am always traveling around the world to places like Europe or America. Whenever I write my name at a hotel, restaurant, post office, or wherever, people often recognize me and talk to me. I've already had people ask me what's going to happen in the next BLEACH series. If you see me around, feel free to have a chat.

I hate censorship but I'd be willing to let them nuke all the porn they want if they carpet bombed the shitty AI art along with it. RIP.Originally Posted by LegalLoliLover
I would simply block AI art.
The next step is an AI that detects AI Art and deletes it+the account that uploaded it.
AI is good meme artist.

Vice the enemy of my people:
Of course it is the enemy of your people...
I love all of this, and I'm so glad that the passion that Sagisu puts into his music is reflected in his words as well.
I'm super late to the pixiv news, I was too busy, but I know for a fact that there are thousands of artists I followed that have outdated galleries in sad panda and other that simply does not have backup at all. We're talkling potentially petabytes worth of art going bye bye. FUCK I DON'T TIME FOR THIS SHIT.
They're also cowardly scum for banning views from Japan.

It's a shame because I really like the new ending song.Under the name Kiro Akiyama, Arai performed the opening theme song "Identity" for the second season of The Promised Neverland anime and the ending theme song "SKETCH" for the current sixth season of the My Hero Academia anime.
