Jacob's teachings can be found in this masterclass:

Nonfunctional harmony is a better way to describe what Hisaishi does in these intros, because at least toward the end, they tend to set up for a tonality. Atonalism, as made famous by Schoenberg and his tone rows, isn't so much about moving parallel harmony around in a way that doesn't fit in one key center as it is about having a melody that meanders and cannot be described by a single key center.
