[PLOOPYZ]

[BenMader10309]

Who knows what that strin instrument is at the beggining?

[67750510]

@BenMader10309 Its a Erhu



[BBQJester]

@BenMader10309 It's a chinese string instrument, called the Er Hu.

[iamma1]

I love how he used a chinese erhu! He always experiments with different cultures instruments rather than using japanese instruments. He is so awesome. I love this!

[ObliviousIkuto]

damn i love the instrumen that white chinese lady is playing on, the sound it makes is just beautiful. Never seen it before, but i can tell its a beauty from the sound

[kickmyask82]

@ObliviousIkuto if you'd like to know, it's called Er Hu. yeah, that instrument is amazing.

[templarknight456]

this is song is like cherry blossoms off a sakura tree it was... perfect

[browsingbookshelves]

That sound coming from the erhu is magnificent. What a composition.  Joe Hisaishi is bloody amazing.

[vonmises6]

Look at his face when he play. so serene....you can tell he really feels and enjoys the music.

[AkashyaDark]

gosh..this is so amazing....it gives me such a warm feeling

[808Arsenal]

i haven't been exposed to the erhu all that much. But what i've little i've seen on youtube, this chick is by far the best player that i've seen out of all the popular videogame/anime songs that feature an erhu.

[skyesfallin]

@808Arsenal you should try 12 girls Band, Forbidden City. YOU HAVE TO WATCH THESE PEOPLE, if you want to hear the Erhu, but don't really like tradition traditional music, you might like these girls, one of my favorite pieces.

[kickmyask82]

@808Arsenal you need to check out George Gao, a wonderful erhu player...

[kalaxaz09]

y pensar que en México no pasamos de Belinda y Moderasco

[wuantec0re]

Tan solo con escuchar las progresiones armonicas

combinadas con esa bella melodia..

Deveras que mi mente y mis oidos

se deleitan

"Joe Hisaishi simplemente el mas profundo"

[KevinVang1000]

Zoo kawg. Kuv nyiam heev li. Joe Hisaishi, kuv qhuas koj rau qhov, koj ntau piano keej kawg.

^_^

[heroaddict1]

@KevinVang1000 LOL w/ the Hmong. XD

[KevinVang1000]

I study Joe Hisaishi and play his piece at Fresno City College. I even compose my own song by studying his genre, background, and even the most intervals that he uses the most.

You should listen to Debussy: The Girl with the Flaxen Hair...

[heroaddict1]

@KevinVang1000 Wow. That's impressive. :D

[KevinVang1000]

Where do you live? I hope ur in Fresno if you want some piano lessons...

[heroaddict1]

@KevinVang1000 Wow. Thanks for the offer but I live in Minnesota. XD

[KevinVang1000]

Oh...too bad. I was about to teach you FOR FREE!

[heroaddict1]

@KevinVang1000 LOL! That would've been awesome! XD

[Shinngreen]

realmente fantastica me kedo colgada cada vez que escucho tan hermosa melodia ♥

[suuchi]

I don't care what it called, but it so darn beautiful to hear.

[86hachirokubalok]

I watched a movie with the same name... it was annoying. However this tune was incredible. I searched for it and it lead me to Joe Hisaishi. After learning that his music has been used in more than just that movie, I wondered why I hadn't noticed before, and craved for more of his work. I have never had a favorite in this particular genre, until now. :)

[k12kyle]

@86hachirokubalok

truly that is what happened to me. :) except now I am fully familiar of his sound in movies.

[akoya93]

joe hisaishi is a really genius!

[missyshell]

love it!

[Jason88236]

The greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion and so with the inspiration of Joe Hisaishi's music that brings peace within finding . . . . . . i find joy in my heart.

[bishonenchan]

I think Gu Zheng sounds like a fart

[GSCLoveSoniac]

@bishonenchan Hmm no,

Gu Zheng is a Traditional Instrument from China and its compatible with the Title.

[bishonenchan]

@GSCLoveSoniac ok thanks now i m little bit more wise XD

[MG42MG]

What instrument is used in 0:26 ?

[yawenliu1776]

@MG42MG

It's called "Erhu", I used to dislike it because it's mostly played by old men and i thought it sounded so sad, but through Joe Hisaishi everything's just lovely~

[MG42MG]

@yawenliu1776 thank you for the answer!

[PurityGuru]

I love how the introduction eventually resolves to the lonely, melancholic tone of a single erhu

[Xiongboi22]

at first i was surprised at when i found out that Joe Hisaishi made this song and made me love this song even more, then i realize that this is a song only Hisaishi would make

[Erniethecatisawesom]

Beautiful! Is there anything he can't do?

[04jun]

i'll play this over and over again and i'll never get tired of it

its a fantastic piece and i wish i could see a concert with joe hisaihi performing

haha i probably would wish i could stay in that kind of concert almost forever

[meganmyphoualo]

Joe Hisaishi can compose a really great Chinese music!

[johntall124]

my favorite song to drive to.. especially long ones.. takes your mind to a whole new level :)

[maikor3]

joe plays his music with such careful precision, simply beautiful! :)

[wowpiratexx]

i ♥ it so much! where can i get this song????

[Z3NZ31]

People always post about how the thumbs-downs on videos they like must have been hit by accident, but this time I truly can't see how these could possibly have been for any other reason.

[GamerGirl961]

who the hell are these 6 ppl who dislike this?!?!

[rurounikenshin75]

@GamerGirl961 Damn it, WHO CARES? Stop giving so much credit to the dislike thing, you like it fine, why all videos are spamed by "50 ppl dislikes this video because... etc". It's fucking annoying, i gonna put one dislike just to piss people off.

[reinux]

@rurounikenshin75 thank. you.

it was funny the first couple times. now it's just annoying.

[TheNinja193]

@GamerGirl961 people who hate asian musicians.... -.-"

[LilCherryx]

I would give everything to play just one time in this orchestra with Joe Hisaishi.

This man is the embodiment of music. My idol.



[iClairei]

@LilCherryx

even ask me to sweep the floor also can. =D



[ILiveInTrees]

@LilCherryx would you give up your life to perfecting an instrument?

[ironcloud41]

@LilCherryx I know your feeling. He really puts in so much emotion with his music you cannot help but fall in love with his work

[6billiondeaths]

[jenny96578]

@lazyjag What is the guzheng?

[goldenamorak]

@jenny96578 guzheng is the stringed instrument that the woman behind the person playing erhu is using. Its like a guitar piano if you can get the idea XD

[jenny96578]

Thanks, the sounds are really relaxing.

[nihilas1988]

a guitar piano is a hapsichord , isn´t it? isnt it more like a "zither"?

[goldenamorak]

@nihilas1988 haha it is too, i didnt know what a zither is (had to google it XD). I searched it up and its actually called a Chinese zither :D

[nihilas1988]

@goldenamorak i had to look it up too because i m from germany and i just have known that its zither in german ^^ so i guess zither is a german word and in english language there is no own word. like "kindergarten" :D

.. or so

[Xineal]

In vietnamese I knew it was called a dan tranh. I was wondering what it was in chinese! :)

[jenny96578]

[08003004]

"Gu Zheng"(古箏) sound very sad

[hiitsmmegan]

[ylcfantasy]

@08003004 二胡

[OtokoTori]

que nombre recibe el instrumento que toca la muger de rojo? el intrumento de cuerda

[MsYuriMcFlurry]

it's a Chinese instrument called the Gu-zheng.

[xiaokou]

haha koto? lol no. :]

[TheDrugMusic]

A koto has thirteen strings whereas GuZheng the very least, 15. The gayageum is also a sibling. The parent instrument of all of them is the se, a 25 string instrument with movable bridges. For the nice music, the Drug called Music, thank you.

[milkgntea]

Its called "Gu Zheng"(古箏). It is a bit different from koto.

[xiaonoobiexd]

Whats the instrument called? (girl plucks) the strings)

[JEkaori08]

Im not to sure what it is called in english but its a old chinese piano. hope that help abit.

[dreamergirl4ever]

i believe it's called a koto(sp?). I used to play it as a child and now can't even remember what it's called..............

[rinahahahaha]

Gu Zheng.

[AAMLfan]

Normal violins sound a bit emotionless compared to the heartbreaking sound of the erhu.

[lostOTL]

whats the song called

[tforal]

I thought Qing Sing, at least that's what Nicholas Tse's song with Charlene Choi song's called.

[twinklingteardrops]

this is BEAUTIFUL! i can never get over it. it's so enchanting and emotional. Hisaishi is amazing for composing such an amazing song and sung by Nicholas Tse and Charlene Choi.

[btopishere]

I heard the movie sucks major poop. But this score is just enchanting.

[fetafreak]

oh my goshhhhhhh that string instrument is amazing!

[Kiraaaa27]

[spiralreplicator]

Deep and enchanting, This music is really special. Like no other on earth. praise and honor to master Hisaishi and his well put together crew. Thanks for the post, its on my everyday play list.
