My first exposure to Yoko Kanno was thru the Ghost in the Shell series. When I viewed the movie Ashurajo No Hitomi, I had no idea it was her work.
The movie is a story of a classical Kabuki actor who falls in love with a demoness and is willing to forgoe his humanity for her love. His disciplined and heartfelt response to the challenges and attacks from the demon world, using his skills as a Kabuki actor, sustain him to the end. No spoilers here.
The music blended seamlessly with the movie. I had no idea this was the composer for any anime series, much less Ghost in the Shell. No matter which style you prefer, you should give this your time and consideration.
