[FlinckJanne1981]

what is this first songs name??

[AristarcoP]

@FlinckJanne1981 "Sampo" is the name of the first song they sing.

[FlinckJanne1981]

@AristarcoP thanx :D

[sakura56702]

I can only sing along to the part where they're like 'to-to-ro, to-to-ro' ._. ... MUST. LEARN. JAPANESE.

[Zantillia]

Yay fun Hiragana practise GO!

I love watching kids do stuff like this, you can see some who are taking this SO seriously and being all stiff and perfect looking straight ahead, there some who are just having fun with huge smiles and big movements and finally those who really want to leave or didn't practise so they're off tempo or staring at the floor

[Veganflava]

OMFG... I want that huge stuffed TOTORO lol

[gregliam]

loooooool

[97totoro]

I love it =3

[thegodsofolympus100]

[Hitomisexy]

@thegodsofolympus100 yes is the Ghibli museum

[CheckersXheart]

i love totoro i watch it every time i hear one of the songs

[ElizabethxPete]

what does watashi wa genki mean : D?

[RashaDrapleck]

@ElizabethxPete Watashi= I Wa is a partical always used after the subject of the sentence Genki means feeling good so it means "I am feeling great"

[ElizabethxPete]

@RashaDrapleck thank you!

[RouraPatsurishia]

[pennyandhistoy]

elle est très kawaii!

[roninalchemist]

@pennyandhistoy What language is that, Spanifrancojapanish? XD I see what you did there.

[VladTodGirl123]

I hope those children survived the tsunami/earthquake:'/

[daniyellowjello]

@VladTodGirl123 These kids are probably fine considering the museum is in Tokyo and the kids are probably from Tokyo. But a lot of other people have died so you can worry about them

[gigirandom]

where did they get their shoes?!?



[chanettetorres2011]

She a good singer

[savke62]

Totoro forever !

[Penguinchubb0]

The singer looks like a grown up Mei.

[japaneseeraserfan18]

[allexhalley]

OHH!!!! que produccion!!!muy bello,y ella es hermosa!!!!! ; )

[musicmouse95]

[8UP1977]

@musicmouse95 Getting paid doing what she likes is probably part of it.

[mopstudio1]

[HaRuKaKi]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh kawaii!!!!!

[xxxTOKAREVxxx]

[cherrykellymv1]

[totoroluvsyou]

lol my totoro!

[InigomontoyaLPz]

I cant understand a damn word shes saying besides Totoro....she sings too damn fast, i want the chick from the Disney DVD

[michikodesu]

@InigomontoyaLPz :That's fine. Go back to the knock-off instead of listening to the actual original song in it's original language.

[singingturtle]

I feel like only evil itself could dislike this...I don't understand how there are seven people that dislike it!

[Idtelos]

I totally do Aya.

[SabertoothTiger911]

@SapphireFairyMagic97 SAME! Although if I save up enough I can go to Japan with this program at my school, as long as I keep taking Japanese.

[hanshandslover]

One of the best animated movies ever made. The english version is good but nothing can compare to the original. Thanks for posting. :)

[Flatwheels01]

@SapphireFairyMagic97 Yup, a great museum with many things to see. Really worth a visit! The Catbus really rocks...but again..not for me lol. You are lucky! better hurry and jump on that bus before you become to old lol! Grtz

[kmah88]

thank you for reuploading it!! i've never seen it before ~ 

[xxhollyxxangelxx]

I NEED that life-size totoro.

[DaylightXAngel]

@xxhollyxxangelxx thts exactly what i thought when i saw it! i hope its cuddly

[piebeforedawn]

Man, those people are SO short! Except for the one in the red.

[kenjipancakes]

if the castle behind them is howl's, wats the burning city? Is it from Grave of the Fireflies? If it is (which i have a hunch it is) its very ironic that its the wallpaper for such a happy scene :P

[heroko1315]

Well I am glad you put it up thank you so much

[AnimeAspieFanatic]

<3 <3 <3 Hayo Miyazaki is the icon of childhood!

[deathpluskill]

OMG IS THAT HOWLS MOVING CASTLE BEHIND THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Flatwheels01]

@AmarilloZorro That`s true, I feel very priviliged when it comes to living in Japan. Surround by Totoro and other Studio Ghibili stuff is like heaven. Already got my ticket for the new movie that comes out next week. Ghibli the best!

[xXxCaterynaxXx]

Ah, I <3 Tonari no Totoro!! My favorite song from any Hayao Miyazaki movie! xD

[feewert42]

its supposed to be just her not those kids!!! but, ooh well, whatever

her voice would hear much better if all those bunch of kids weren't around......

[smixish]

this is how kids movies should be ,not all that high tech wierdly animated stuff. I really miss the old kids shows like sailor moon and pokemon (the old version not diamond dimention stuff) all kids would love ths movie surely ( My neighbour Totoro )

[Mauriceheijlol]

[mizunonamida]

AYAYA (LLLLLLLL)

[totis1972]

[HueOfIndigo]

I actually started singing this to myself the other day while going for a walk. ^^ Totoro...such awesome childhood memories. If I ever get to visit Japan, I'm definitely checking out the Ghibli Museum.

[CrystalChord2010]

The man at the end....is he dressed like the cat from "The Cat Returns??"

Very cute video; some of the kids really got into it, and Ms. Matsuura has a very pretty voice! I hope to visit Japan one day, and this has always been one of the stops I want to make!

[PoisonJammer]

So awesome, she has such an amazingly cute voice! <3 Totoro!!

[justerleo]

[UnicornNinja32]

Thanks for posting this! Its helping with Learning Japanese. And I love Totoro... so thanks! <3

[nennly11]

WOW that Howl's moving castle-statue is amazing xD i love Totoro<3<3<3<3

[Flatwheels01]

grrrrr..the cat bus....i am still upset about the fact that i wasn't allowed to play with the catbus at the ghibli museum!!! Only for kids! Yadaaa!! I was 33 at the time and jealous of all the kids that where having there! lol

[ccsgirl12]

May I ask, where is the Ghibli museum??

(this goes to Flatwheels01)

[Flatwheels01]

Hi there, ccsgirl12, you can find the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, a suburb of Tokyo! grtzzz Jacob

[ECiriachi]

@Flatwheels01 : loved that. Had the privilege of visiting that myself. A unique experience.

[shigatsuningen]

@Flatwheels01

Hillarious... I feel so bad for you... :)

[Dihgal]

@Flatwheels01 eX Dee

[kmah88]

@Flatwheels01 i was just in japan this past spring and i was DYING to go to the ghibli museum ~i thought getting tickets the day before at lawson would be okay... but they were sold out!! well, at least you got to see it, right?

[Flatwheels01]

@kmah88 Ah..demo..spring is a pretty busy season. Not sure what specific date you where here but if it was during the `golden week` than I can understand the tickets where sold out. Any plans on coming back to Japan soon? I can get the tickets for you so that you have a chance to go there. Will definately go back there and be sure to check out the new Ghibli -Arietty - It`s awsome. Grtz Jacob

[kmah88]

@Flatwheels01 thanks but i don't think it'll be anytime soon, sadly... one day though!! *fingers crossed*

i was there the week after golden week. maybe just some residual business...

[sonurajvideos]

@Flatwheels01 We should report this ..

[Flatwheels01]

@sonurajvideos haha, yeah we should! With the new Ghibli movie coming up I want to pay a visit again to the museum so will see what I can do for us lol.:)

[Princes1jo]

[carmway]

[CtrlAltDaLEET]

Hey lets go!

[animebunny]

[tofu488]

TOTORO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[totis1972]

Totoro - te Amamos - Flia. Granza Buenos Aires - Argentina

=)

[Beachbunny94]

Totoro is honestly the best anime i have ever watched and i love it love it love it! I can watch it over and over and never get tired of it.

[dunetiger]

The Totoro theme is one of the most emotionally charged pieces of music I've ever heard. It makes me happy-sad!

[SailorMorutsu]

@dunetiger

It makes me happy of the story, it's so cosy! *O* I love it <3

It makes me sad because Totoro isn't real!!!!! T_T

[oshie789]

those faces being overexcited should be illegal otherwise it´s cute XXXD

[hedgies101]

go u for putting it back up ^_^ nice job on it

[Aermixi]

She's surrounded by a bunch of little kids... and yet she still manages to look the cutest. x3

[tofu488]

lol

[Psykel]

The person who got the idea to mix Ayaya and Hayao Miyazaki should get the Nobel prize in chemistry imo.

[swimfreak95]

her voice is so cute!

[sizory]

wtf!!

[Zurgieman]

Is that Ghibli museum???

i hope i can go there someday

i really want to

i already started saving :)

lol

[Sailormoonluver2992]

Cool! I wanna go there!(Ghibli Musium).

[GUCIGIRL]

^_^

[acorn2taco]

her voice is absoulutly gorgeous...love both versions of both songs, english and japenese :)

[Archronos1]

Could she be any hotter?

[advillan]

i am pretty sure that is the studio ghibli museum. i want to go there sooo badd

[geraldhans]

Same with Me. I really really want to go there. Last time When I went to Japan, I cannot go there because I go with Tour

Really I want to go there so bad

[yoamiejay]

i like the original better but I do love Aya Matsuura.

[estereotrent]

ojala todos nosotros que amamos esta serie pudieramos ser amigos, la amistad es lo mas lindo ningun ser humano debe estar solo pues somos criaturas debiles que necesitamos aompañarnos y recivir amor. cuenta conmigo para lo que sea n_n

[estereotrent]

esta es la version mas bonita de totoro, yo siempre busco los musicales de mis series favoritas pero aya matsuura no tiene comparacion. grande ayaya!!!

[indiGlow55]

tienes razon. esta version es spectacular!!

wow i love how all of these comments are in different languages!

[Sefiroth89]

deine mudder scheiß rassist!!!!

schönen tag noch :)

shine baka yarou!!

[Analologe]

Hey,

Ein Grund gleich ausfällig zu werden!

私は　馬鹿　です！！

[YaoiFan21stCentury]

it's Howl's house...!

[peroxidekitty]

she's terrifying, but cute, like a kitten with no eyes.

[masahumi92]

LMFAO

[pumnkingusti]

I laughed so hard when I read that. XD

[bananian]

original is better

[bryanbhu]

Original is usually better for anything. I agree though, the original is better. but I think this one is good too in a different way. Especially with the backdrop of today's world where cynicism, spitefulness and maliciousness seem to be prominent ever more so than in the past.

[bananian]

all I know is that she's wearing a revealing top in front of kids and sings like she's moaning.

[Phielder]

she's not wearing a revealing top, if you really mean that..most of the kids are wearing revealing tops aswell :-p And.. what kinda moaning have you heard before? O_o

[bryanbhu]

That's a revealing top to you? Jesus, where have you been hibernating since the 60s.

[Ellimist1232005]

20s. Or he's some old fashioned chinese girl. You see people screaming that the shirt Matsuura's wearing is revealing in lots of Chinese dramas that take place like...LOOOOONG back.

[lahainawhaler]

Hey, good for you to put it up. This is the kind of stuff I'd like to see included with DVD extras on the animes.

[meeps625]

and so are you

[meeps625]

you will always find that people want to be something else. it's just life, get over it.

[ysisarahlds]

what is the singers name? I love it !!!

[bryanbhu]

matsuura aya

[jose2111]

thanks alot my friend atte: masteroftheanime

lol just my precentation!

[bnugroho]

2:25, she's soo cute

[Hinagi1980]

the requisits are wonderful teh buscat wow.

[StarlingKnight]

Are they making katakana characters "to to ro" with hands? :D How cute..

[WIZARDWARRIOR]

matsuura is a goddess

very beauty and grat singer

wish for everyone

[peaches7645]

Doesn't this just make you wish you were japanese? :D

[dinaofthefields]

.........

Original singer is definately better....

Too 'pop'

[samuraitoshi2]

staryroxy >The stupid guy who gets a new account to criticize Japan

[samuraitoshi2]

staryroxy> shut up. korean or chinese

[Aradon5]

I suppose the grass is always greener on the other side.

[foohycrazy]

*sniffle*

me and u both

:]

[jgrey]

And me. But not blindly. Whatever criticisms you may have of the Japanese, one thing I admire greatly is their culture of appreciating what's kind and gentle. In many other countries this would be seen as cheesy and corny, and generally repulsive, or be seen as kiddie. That's sad. Humanity is more than that, regardless of your age and experience and the Japanese have a deep rooted understanding of that in their culture.

[sn0wD]

does some 1 has a karaoke with subs?

[dramaaddict888]

omg.. does someone have the karaokee version to this song.

i am in dire need. please email thanks,
