Joe Hisaishi is a very popular musical director, composer, conductor and arranger in Japan. He had composed many popular pieces such as One Summer's Day (Spirited Away) , Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke) and Howl's Moving Castle Theme song etc. Joe Hisaishi knows how to play the piano, keyboard and violin. I think he is amazing because he can conduct his band and after that move to the piano and play his parts. So far, he is the only one who did this and it is not easy.
One Summer's Day (from Spirited Away)
The following song is Mononoke Hime. You will be able to see Joe Hisaishi moving to the piano in the middle of the song. At around 6:00, there are piano and violin solos and it is really nice and beautiful.

Next song is Howl's Moving Castle Theme Song. This is one of my favorite song and I always enjoy listening to it.
