Looking at all the languages in the commentary... I find it remarkable how one man can touch so many people without uttering a single word. This is how you win at life.
My favorite quote from Departures, "One grown cold restored to beauty for all eternity. This was done with a calmness, a precision, and above all a gentle affection. At the final parting, sending the dead on their way, everything done peacefully and beautifully."
That scene was absolutely masterful. They really did bring her back to life... as though she was sleeping, just for a brief moment, so that they could say goodbye.
I cried listening to One Summer's Day. 9:47 - 10:08 always get to me. I hear that and I think of Chihiro sitting in the train with No Face on the way to the witch's twin sister, listening to the piano playing in the background as I myself am 7 years old watching. I don't cry often but this one gets me.
One of my biggest wishes right now is to watch Joe Hisaishi live in concert. I only just recently discovered his music (HOW LATE AM I) and oh gawd.. I can just sit there and listen to his music while being transported to a gazillion different worlds and go through a myriad of emotions and feelings. He is amazing
i love both of the songs. I have a deep respect for Joe Hisaisi and his work of art. I have NEVER felt so many emotions while listening a piece of music. All of the little elements of his songs takes me trough so many different worlds. So many beautiful, sad, desperate, bittersweet, melancholy, hopeful and joyful moments. Everything stops when i hear this beautiful music. My world stops but at the same time my whole world begins because i can feel. I can feel so many different emotions that i have lost. Deep deep emotions that makes me feel that the world is so beautiful it almost hurts. This is pure art. Thank you Mr. Hisaishi. Your music has affected my life in so many ways and it will always have a special place in my heart.
+aziangrl95 it seems to me thst the orchestra plays much more powerfully than other Japanese orchestra's he's conducted with, which gives the music a completey different feel. Just my opinion :)
+TheEnigmaticHermit Good point! I think many people feel a significant difference between Western and Eastern orchestras, especially in terms of color, tone, manner of playing, and general interpretations of pieces as well. Personally, I think Western orchestras are a bit more superb when it comes to technique, fullness of sound, and coherence. (Just personal opinions here! hehe)
Muy bonita! en momentos así de estar pasándolo verdaderamente mal, lo único que me apetece es escuchar cosas tuyas, eres un gran músico y compositor. Gracias!
one of the best comments I have ever read. It's just how I feel about music. I can't express how grateful I am for the modern classics composed by geniuses like Hisaishi, Uematsu or Hamauzu. They are all great and yet so manifold...
That's right. Doesn't matter you're a European, Asian, African, etc. if you're enough sensitive, this masterpiece will blow you up from slipper each time hearing it:)
A perfect example showing how precious music is. It travels not only throughout time, but also breaks down barriers between nations, languages and races.
8:30 best piece of music ever. I get goose bumps just thinking about it. True love couldn't be anymore innocent than shown by Sen and Haku in this film.
ahhhhh..... it's making me cry out loud...... esp when it reminds you of the movie at the same time.. ***WAHHHH*** it's too beautiful... too beautiful.... 生きているがよかったね...
It's beautiful, and I'm glad I purchased some sensei's albums when I was in Asia. However, can anyone kindly tell what symphony orchestra was playing with Mr. Hisaishi in this video? I'm wondering if it's an Eastern European one...
Sorry but I don t speak english ! I from to Brazil and want you know .. I too cry every time hear Departures.... here in Brazil what now !!! Today is saturday at 19 pm and read you message in TH-cam...... sorry so much so much for my very BAD english.... REGIS DIAS

悠美的大提琴, 如泣如訴, 渲染力太大, 聽完已經滿臉淚痕
配樂很有力道。電影內容深具內涵。算是一部很完美的電影。將人生的生離死別鋪陳的悲喜交錯。溫馨感人。毫不賣弄技術。日本人有他值得驕傲讚賞的一面。台灣電影加油!
Such a crisp recording. I find this performance to be better than the original.
No one is capable of competing with Uncle Joe
Departures is a masterpiece of epic proportion.
My favorite quote from Departures,

there's no one can composed this kinds of music pieces!!

Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional
Uncle Joe is da best
I can't help it, these chords remember me my childhood.
Thank you very much for this.
Departures, this song don't need lyrics.
This is one of the best version and the best recording I’ve heard. The cello is BEAUTIFUL ~~~~
So many nostalgic memories of the movie. Departures is a sad and brilliant movie. Must watch
Wow wow wow, a different flavour from the Japanese orchestras I have heard him conduct. Deeply Moving.
+TheEnigmaticHermit how so may i ask? just curious
+aziangrl95 it seems to me thst the orchestra plays much more powerfully than other Japanese orchestra's he's conducted with, which gives the music a completey different feel. Just my opinion :)

***** Exactly my thoughts! Just much more eloquently articulated :P
+Daniel Hong although I share most of your views I would like to add that Eastern and Western orchestras are both magnificent in their own difference
I cried throughout the concert :'( such beautiful music, bringing back lots of memories. Thank you.
Semplicemente meravigliosa musica.....❤
Поистине великий композитор нашего времени!
この曲聞くと、元気になりますね、
ほんとにありがとうございました。
凄い。凄すぎて胸がざわつきました。鳥肌が立ちました。
なんとも言えない幸福感に満ち溢れました。
From 4:18 you go into an otherworldly dimension...
+fairyelly08 i know... its magic

何度聴いても美しいいつかコンサートいけますように
I forgot how beautiful this is.
the best music forever , one of the best movies I ever watched
涙が出そうになりました
Thats a great piece !
I recommend to watch the full movie "Departures" - it's a MUST SEE.
Oh my god this song, it's so beautiful!!!!!!!!! He is such a great composer.
The soundtracks are beautiful and the movie is heartwrenching but still so beautiful
Agree! I watched it over 3 times and still love it. The first time I watched it was on a plane, it was dark and no one noticed my tears.
이 CD 소장중인데.. 정말최곱니다ㅠㅠㅠ듣는내내소름돋아서정말..
That first cello (I think it's a cello. The first solo instrument) is absolutely gorgeous.
An astounding performance and an incredible recording
All time favourite
Muy bonita! en momentos así de estar pasándolo verdaderamente mal, lo único que me apetece es escuchar cosas tuyas, eres un gran músico y compositor. Gracias!
BEAUTIFUL SONG,BEAUTIFUL MOVIE ❤
JOE HISAISHI is the best
one of the best comments I have ever read. It's just how I feel about music. I can't express how grateful I am for the modern classics composed by geniuses like Hisaishi, Uematsu or Hamauzu. They are all great and yet so manifold...
Such a powerfull soundtrack. The most heart breaking scene is when a husband lost his wife.
Absolutely loved the movie and am now so pleased to hear the full music. The cello piece was an "amuse-bouche". Thank you very much.
Um dos filmes mais comoventes que já assisti. Trilha sonora impecável como não se emocionar. Uma obra prima.
Among the music Joe Hisaishi composed, this one is actually my favourite. Also the movie is really really good.
おくりびと
見ましたよ。
葬祭場にも
かかってる曲ですね。

8:30 best piece of music ever. I get goose bumps just thinking about it. True love couldn't be anymore innocent than shown by Sen and Haku in this film.
When relatives passed away one by one, you know you have to be strong after crying.
