Machi no Yoru ( 町の夜 ) from Miyazaki Hayaos film Kiki's Delivery Service, composed by the great Joe Hisaishi, played on classical guitar by me Da Vynci.

This music appears in the scene where Kiki struggles to adjust w/ the new environment, and the loneliness and frustration she has away from home, the growing insecurity eventually leads her magic power to vanish.

Depend on how it is performed, the piece is titled under various names:

"Machi no Yoru" (町の夜), meaning Night at the Town, this title is used when the piece is played with the (very brief) introduction and chorus.

"Shoushin no Kiki" (傷心のキキ) meaning Heartbroken Kiki, this title is used when the piece is played without the introduction and chorus.

"Tasogare no Maigotachi" (黄昏の迷い子たち), meaning Lost Children in Twilight, this title is used when it is sung as a song, with lyric by Yoshimoto Yumi (吉元由美). The original singer is Takarano Arika (宝野ありか, later known as 宝野アリカ)

  • does any sheet music for this guitar arrangement exist? i would really like to learn this

  • I remember watching Kiki's Delivery Service as a kid, it was a good movie ^-^

    I'd put it almost on the same level as Spirited Away, but that's my opinion (i have a rather dark sense of humor)

    Great job ^-^!
