Q: The music playing whenever the Santa Ana winds are blowing in the movie has a resemblance to some music in a japanese anime movie made by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli but I don't know which one... Might be My Neighbor Totoro, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castle. The music in the japanese movie was also played when a wind was blowing. Which movie did Hans Zimmer get the inspiration from, or is it all in my head? ;)  (from Kenneth Johansson  in Gothenburg, Sweden )
