Where do you guys get these videos?? Quality is amazing is it from DVD? If so where did you buy the DVD because i would like to buy one... well actually the whole set...this man is my god!! How much he enjoys playing and composing really shows XD
the spirit and the emotion of the song was transmitted to me directly through his play its a fantastic song and combined with a fantastic player it became a masterpiece
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.
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~
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!
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!
hahahaaaa!!! sooo funny in the beginning where he signals people to have a smile on their faces :) teehee.... ♥ btw.... his songs ALWAYS rocks!!! wootwoot!!
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!
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. :)
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"
Marvelous!, so I said. Joe smile and the audience smile was undeniable, just by hearing the audience cheers for him in the end. It makes you feel likes u want to be there and cheer for Joe as well. 5/5
Es una cancion hermosa! , cada vez que la escucho ! me siento muy bien y otras nostalgico!, y la pelicula para que decir es muy linda y desde que la vi, ya no veo la naturaleza como la veia antes!, gracias por el video!
HAHA Totoro Such an enjoyable movie to watch. Not to mention the music itself is really spectacular to listen. I have a soundtrack play in my car. Every time I picked up my sister after school, I turn on totoro channel she really enjoy it while she reading story book. Joe rocks man!
This always leave me reminiscing about the past and how fun it was. I love this man, he makes music that just feels good. He is probably one of my favorite composers.
N'aww! I love when Hisaishi-san smiles. He has such a youthful and innocent smile. It makes him even more handsome <3
