CHILDREN UNTOLD

Director Miwa Nishikawa's latest film, "Children Untold". Marihiko Hara's music accompanies the story of the "unknown children" who actually existed in postwar Japan. Featuring piano-centered chamber music, field recordings, and electronic sounds?the music, created around the theme of "strength in silence," quietly brings to the surface lost time, unspoken emotions, and the memories of nameless individuals. A new kind of film score by Marihiko Hara, winner of the Japan Academy Prize for Best Music for "Kokuho (National Treasure)". The Tohoku Youth Orchestra?which Ryuichi Sakamoto helped found?performs some of the film's musical pieces. The sounds of these young musicians, brought together in the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake, lend a profound resonance to the film's prayer-like atmosphere. A soundtrack that resonates deeply even beyond the screen, like a prayer.
