In Spirited Away, every character is a mix of good and bad qualities and actions. Even those who seem good at first, such as Haku and No-Face, have their share of evil qualities. By the same token, those who seem bad in the beginning, such as Zeniba, Kamaji, and Lin, become instrumental in Chihiro's escape.
How is sound used in Spirited Away?
The sound works to create a naturalistic sense of space within the scene as well as to involve the audience in the emotional dimension of the characters (music is particularly useful in this aspect).

The original soundtrack for the Japanese animated film Spirited Away was composed by Joe Hisaishi and performed by the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra.
