[StefanieNg91]

When i was young, i watched Spirited Away and I didn't understand much what was going on but when I watch it now, i have chills and goosebumps all over

[StefanieNg91]

it was the greatest fantasy through a simple plot



[Gallade400]

[oohlala221]

[AznActorMan]

I am so attracted to her!!!

[eleanorausrex]

I get shivers at 0.53

[5Starshine5]

I remember watching the movie as a five year old, and being pulled in by the animation of the movie. I have always dreamed of going to Japan and exploring anime, and my aspirations have been shot down a few times. I sometimes lose sight of who i am today because of my stress, but when i listen to this song, i remember what it is like to dream and believe again.

[Silvercube88]

And I love the way Joe Hisaishi smiles at the end of the song. It's completely perfect.

[GaaraXFan2RuLeALL]

@ChiisanaNoSekai Got a link to compare?

[subway108]

beautiful!

[Carlx6]

Every single time this song ends I have this feeling of completion, that I just don't know what to listen to next. It's as if something inside me were saying "this is it, I don't need anything else".

[xCleverlyx]

@Carlx6 all right, all right, you're over doing it

[Carlx6]

@xCleverlyx Heh, most likely. I agree with you now that I read that. I guess I wrote it on the spur of the moment because I feel that way too often with too many music. :P

[24QueenGirl]

woooohhh ~~ it's so beautifullll ~~

love it <3

[armeverschrenk]

does anyone know where i can find the lyrics? i want to sing with her~ ♥ so beautiful, my hearth feel so warmly now....

[LanFeaR86]

@armeverschrenk Try Googling using the keywords "inochi no namae lyrics" and you should be able to find it. This song is called Inochi no Namae (or The Name of Life in English). Sorry, Youtube won't let me post links, so you'll just have to get it through the search engine :)

[armeverschrenk]

@LanFeaR86 oh thank you!!! thats no problem ;)

[TheKimmynator]

love her vocals

[Lerijin]

this is the time and the place, when and where magic was given as a gift to us.

[007RNS]

This is the embodiment of music as the universal language. It transcends any words or dialect. Soul stirring. Thanks for posting.

[TheGIRROX]

this is the song they shoodv used in the credits

[RebeliousHellBringer]

oh my god i love you! ive been looking for the vocalized version of this song, i always absolutely loved this composition but the lyrics and her voice add so much to the song its heart breaking

[kandyfreak410]

um im pretty sure that this song isnt one summer's day its actually called Inochi no Namae or The Name of Life, the instrumental version is called Day of the river

[TheGIRROX]

@kandyfreak410 i hav the cd 4 the movi with bonus trax its called One summer's day vocalized its the name of life

[ash28ify]

there should be a english version mr. joe isaishi...

[TheGIRROX]

@ash28ify it woodnt mean as much in english

[MegaLadygirl123]

she has an amazing voice!!

[NumOneJoeJonasLuver]

I love this version and wish iTunes had this vocal version. Listening to this before I go to bed every night not only helps me fall asleep, but it also helps me to actually stay asleep through the night and wake up feeling refreshed from a wonderful night's sleep :D

[RattingUP]

Not sure, but this composition is always called "Summer Day" through the net.

[waterkeeper511]

@RattingUP The original song is called Natsu no Hi, or Summer day like you said. But with Hirahara's vocals, the song is called Inochi no Namae; literally, "The Name of Life" though I think it's commonly translated as "The Meaning of Life."

[MorningMusuko2011]

@RattingUP I think this song is called "The name of Life", but I'm not sure.

[ballat4u]

i thought this song called "The name of Life"

[stellaffaith]

I can listen to this all day.
