    I love this song very much. The music sounds so carefree and happy, I find it hard to believe that Hisaishi forced them to smile. . .

    5/5

  • Video begins and ends with applause (well deserved might I add). ;)

  • TOTORO!!!

  • the music is beautiful. . .

  • Incredible! He is someone who truly takes joy in playing and performing. I love his spirit just as much as I love his music.

  • Awesome.

  • what is the title of this piece? What an amazing man..love his spirit..smiling like that....

  • This is so happy. So innocent and pure.

    I'm smiling, thinking of my fiance. Being strong for him. Knowing that things like this created by other people can never stop us. Nothing can ever stop us.

    I love you.

  • superman can stop a gun.

  • a gun shooting cryptonite???? Hmmm????

  • This song is really wonderful~ It really warms me up in my heart listening to the cello and piano harmonizing together so well. Joe Hisaishi is a very creative person, I must say~

  • Did he compose this himself?

  • YES

  • Aw!!

    First off : this is too beautiful! :D

    Second off, don't you adore how he tells the other musicians to smile in the beginning. I know you do! :D

  • i totally agree with u :]

  • yeah

    so sweet:]

  • =) he looks so happy when he plays his music)))

  • I knoww! :) I love how Mr. Hisaishi smiles and claps at the end :D

  • Someday, I would love to play in an ensemble with Mr. Joe Hisaishi! Unfortunately, by the time that I have the talent, degrees and all that Jazz (no corny musical joke intended), he may not be performing any more.... But I really hope he is!

  • oops I forgot this...

    I guess it will really depend on whether or not he wants to perform for as long as possible (which I really hope he does, and by how happy he always looks, that wouldn't surprise me), or if he wants to retire to spend time with family, travel, etc. Selfishly, I want him to keep performing, but I honestly want him to do whatever makes him happiest!

  • Don't you wish you were his son/daughter so that you could hear he play these things everyday? :b

  • So beautiful!As great as the movie...

  • He's so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • totally admirable...

  • SO GOOD ;__; <3

  • i like how he just plays piano and conducts at the same time

    i also like the fact that hes using all cellos for this :O

    i finally love how he tells them to "SMILE :)" at the beginning X)

  • reminds me of my childhood memories...

  • Joe Hisaishi remains one of my favorite composers; along with Nobuo Uematsu, Hans Zimmer, and sometimes Karl Jenkins. This song contains all the memories that I'm sure are precious to Miyazaki fans - It reminds me of the first time I watched the film Totoro. He's great!

  • Joe hisashi...best song writer ever^^

  • I know that this is all technical... But he doesn't write songs. Songs are sung. He composes music. And by the way, I blame my music instructor for this correction. He always loved to correct us in that a song has to be sung in order for it to be a song. Anyways, I'm rambling now.

    But I agree with your sentiment, in that, he is one of the best composers ever. :)

  • actually, there is a version of this sung in Japanese on the ost of Totoro

  • 童年的記憶~太好聽了!

  • Impressive!!! Really Impressive!!!!

  • anyone know where I can find the music that plays during the seen when they grow the giant tree?

  • Wow... So many strings.

  • WHOO HOOOOOO Hisashi Wide screen

  • he is the greatest musican forever

  • Tremble before the almighty music XD

  • he looks so happy..he's really enjoying himself on the piano, isn't he?

    Anyway hop over to my channel to listen to my music videos! Hope you guys'll enjoy what I play on my piano!

  • When my ears capture it sounds, it quickly transported into the brain, and later on my brain reflect it as if it is say to me " it was a very pleasing sound, and it is truly AMAZING, eventhough i wasn't at the concert"
