[BILLY7860943]

I look the stars when I play this melody on a cold clear night while the moon shimmers upon my pond in my garden its amazing its too much i just weep the world is amazing and this music lets me know whats real and beautiful in my petty little life

[Meggalx3]

[TheNewsound12]

I think this is one of the best pianist that I've ever heard. Now don't gett me wrong I luv all types of music but this is such a wonderful and relaxing sound.

[intruscus]

I literally cried at this piece of magnificence and beauty that if you don't appreciate, you have no soul.

[777Senshi]

music is beautiful its the sound of ones soul and heart not ones race



[maybe97able]

[Shadowvamp18]

listening to this is just amazing, and gorgeous, it's hard to explain what it feels like while i'm listening. it's sad, beautiful, intoxicating, and.......ugh can't even figure out anymore words lol

[Museisneat1234]

Because someone can play beautiful music does not constitute them as the best at playing the instrument. He is however internalizing and feeling the music it seems, which dictates him a rarefied musician in my book :]

Lol fancy talk.

[HikariChisame]

the atmosphere created is so amazing... so sad... so beautiful... *_* :3

[panchodaman]

[sidiusolidus]

[CoconutIsle]

WOW...I was never into japanese men, but know i changed my mind.

[ClinicallyDrunk]

What makes this so great is that its simply music, real music.

[MUJAHIDEEN7860]

infact this melody reminds me of the good time of my life when I was young with my parents playing in the garden now its just.....empty

[KrewKami]

@MUJAHIDEEN7860 i know how you feel this makes me remember back when i was young in okinawa, but the thing is the feeling will always be with you don't let the memories take away whats most precious to you, your life. this is why i love this song in particular it starts off in slow melody which shows you the hardship then it rises up and gets more aggressive to show the brighter side.

[MUJAHIDEEN7860]

@KrewKami kind words thankyou :)

[MUJAHIDEEN7860]

the sound of heaven.......

[xiandrian]

His hair is all exposed with Sexy :D nice!

[ricpride]

On the tags, it should change from 龙 to 龍 as the Japanese stuck with the traditional and did not move towards the modern.

[fomonat]

what animes is this song in ?

[0112renegade]

@fomonat i'm sure its from princess mononoke but i may be wrong

[neilheartsu24]

[ajthemooonster]

yujeohtppsoiguhrjklp;gtrw

[oiukrtuyio sorry i had to wipe off all the jizz off my keyboard

[Soundtracksupport]

is this the main them from princes mononoke?

[vi3thunny]

@Soundtracksupport

It's from the film "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" with the composer Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Bowie.

He was one of the lead characters and also composed the entire musical score for the film and this piece is the title track.

[Skakura]

kinda reminds me on Chihiro's Reise ins Zauberland xD oh english title is sprited away right? so thats what 123istcool ment :D

[Analycal]

I can't like/favorite this enough.

[Malganis85]

Ah, I was wondering where I had heard this before- spirited away X) I heard it this morning and wondered where I had heard it before.

[allthenamesrtook]

@Malganis85 this isnt from spirited away its sounds VERY similar tho

[Malganis85]

@allthenamesrtook X) Yeah, I figured that out from rewatching SA. ignorance is bliss, and my brain hurts from being wrong.

[allthenamesrtook]

@Malganis85 haaa yupp it is bliss haaa

[TheAlpacinoman]

[Opul3nce]

@shanchuid shame i have no idea what you just said

[96515325]

@Opul3nce Great song just saying for the sake of saying, the original name is merry Christmas weird name, what the hell is this shitty "Mr Lawrence", can you provide this song in some "lossless format" which makes no difference or whatever. This is my interpretation of the chinese words.
