1) All That Jazz was … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two groups using this name:
1) All That Jazz was originally a temporary group commissioned by Studio Ghibli to create jazz-style covers of soundtracks from Japan’s Studio Ghibli animated films. They went on to make covers of popular Japanese music and anime theme songs. Much of All That Jazz’s music is purely instrumental, but COSMIC HOME's Yuriko Kuwahara (桑原由里子, クワハラユリコ) and Naomi Hattori (服部直美) provide vocals on many tracks. Only Kuwahara sings on the Studio Ghibli covers, while their other cover albums feature both Hattori and Kuwahara.
2)A Swedish new wave/post punk band active from 1981 - 1991.
Members: Peter Lööf (vocals & guitar), Patrik Willard (bass), Per Birger Ejnelind (guitar), Pontus Wärmhed (drums), Niklas Hellberg (keyboards), Marie Lindbäck (vocals)
Major Influences: Joy Division, The Cure, Bauhaus
All That Jazz was formed in Karlstad, Sweden in 1981 by Peter, Patrik, and Per, who had all been members of punk bands previously. Their first single Banner of Love was released in January 1983 on Wire Records. The band was signed by major label Virgin Records and released a self-titled album produced by top British new wave producers Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley in 1987. Before their second album, Color Blind, was released in 1990, band members Patrik and Marie both left the band. The band continued to suffer from internal strife, the tours for Color Blind were cancelled, and All That Jazz disbanded.

All That Jazz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
はかなく散ってゆく 風の指先ふれて
静かに見える波 まぶしすぎる夏の日
心の海岸で白く砕けていった
過ぎゆく季節の果てにたたずむ人は誰なの?
ゆれる想い 自分をだきしめたの ひとり
明日はどんな日に 頬づえの窓辺から
色づく街ゆけば 誰かに逢いたい秋
やさしくなれそうな 夕暮れのさみしさよ
凍えた手のひらで とけてゆく粉雪は
涙によく似てた ぬくもりに出会う冬
幸せを探す人が一番幸せだって
めぐる季節 想い出に変えながら ふたり
明日はどんな風 歩きだす窓辺から
もうすぐ見えてくる夢を渡ってゆこう
The lyrics of the song Meguru Kisetsu by All That Jazz are about the fleeting nature of time and the importance of cherishing the memories and experiences that come with each passing season. The song begins describing the beauty and sadness of spring in the light pink scenery of blooming flowers. The wind blows and the flowers fall, portraying the ephemeral nature of life. The lyrics then move on to summer, where the waves of the ocean seem calm and serene but are actually breaking and shattering inside the singer's heart. The image here is of the heart as a shoreline, where each wave is a memory that breaks into white foam on the shore.
The next verse asks who is standing at the end of the passing seasons, gazing upon the changes. The singer is alone, holding their own feelings close to themself, trying to embrace the future. They are determined to find shapeless dreams from the window ledge tomorrow, and move forward. The verse about autumn describes a feeling of loneliness and the desire to meet someone in the fading light of the evening. The last verse is about winter, where the singer feels as cold as the snow and their tears melting on their hand. The snow resembles the tears, but the warmth of meeting someone special in winter makes everything bearable. The lyrics conclude with the realization that the happiest people are those who seek happiness, and memories of each season are cherished while walking towards the dream that is almost in sight.

When I was a student, I interned at a Japanese company and the office played Ghibli soundtrack every day from 9 am to 6 pm. The playlist didn’t change at all and we had to listen to it every day. Can you imagine what it feels like? My seniors were used to it because they worked there for years.

I feel like that would ruin the music, no matter how good it is.
kook kook kook kook
thats the same for me but a different playlist, it felt like torture after a while

Too bad, that would have kinda made it boring over time. Hope that didn't completely ruin Ghibli music for you. It's a real pleasure to listen to Joe Hisaishi's music, especially when reproduced in Jazz.
