My second grade teacher was super into Studio Ghibli, and showed us Spirited Away and Ponyo. Only a few months ago did I dig up an old dvd with Spirited Away on it and I rewatched it. After so many years, the movie only comes as an amazing experience, and I wish more than ever to thank her for introducing myself and likely hundreds of other students to Studio Ghibli's masterful animes.
after i watch spirited away, i never know what to do with myself because i just watched the most moving and beautiful movie ever and im just like... how do i go on??
i havent seen spirit away but i understand that moving and beautiful feeling amazing is such a amazing thing i can recommend some good ones such as anohana, steins gate, guilty crown, monogatari series and etc
IoneMacaroninCheese There's a lot of interpretable subtext in the movie, it could be about a lot of things. The spirits could very well be representations of other aspects of nature, civilization, or any other thing. The central theme however I believe is identity.
According to what I've read, the part where Haku promises that they will meet again in English has a different translation and meaning in Japanese. In the Japanese, the exchange goes "Will I see you again?" "I'll come for you." That's supposed to be Haku promising that he'll come and be Chihiro's spirit guide into the afterlife when she dies, so they'll see each other once they can be together forever.
What also makes it more sad is the fact that since Hayao Miyazaki retired, we will never see Haku and Sen be together even though they promised that they would ;_;
there's actually a secret ending to it. haku is ment to transfer to sen's school and they r supposed to meet there but the director decided to take that scene out T.T
that word... I seen it many a times in comments. To quote one of my favorite characters from one of the best movies ever, "I do not think it means what you think it means."
This melody makes me feel so sleepy - in a kind of positive way I can't really explain. I'm sinking deeper and deeper into my bed and drifting off. I just feel like my life is complete when listening, and that I am in a peaceful place far from home, a place full of color, it's quiet, sunny but with a gentle breeze. It feels almost like I am in a flowery meadow - and while I am stretched out, totally at ease, I am feeling the nature surrounding me... Well, simply put, hehe
its like the hole love and peace of the world lies in these notes i makes me feel so wonderfull and nostalgic. When I hear this it feel like that I am far away frm home ...
Only this song reminds me the world is not in my phone, or in my books, my laptop, my bed, my tv, my school, my art... It will always be outside where it's always been.
This is hands down my favorite movie of all time. Why? Watch the whole video and you'll know. I was in tears by the end... And that was just one of the songs.
man, i love the music and now o love this channel really im so depressed hayao is retiring, the films are great and the musics dont stand before they are great too! really man i almost cryed i subbed u!
I long time ago maybe when I was 3-5 I watched it. Then know almost 14 I have to admit I started crying when I remembered it and I love anime so much it a very beautiful piano version I really like it!!
I watched this film yesterday. I thought I knew a lot about movies. I watched it and it was like watching a movie for the first time. Truly spectacular.
I love this movie when I was 7 or 8 and I cried I thought it was amazing to this day it will always shed at least one tear after or during the movie I think its a beautiful story I don't know why someone else talks about it and says they were scared.
So beautiful it nearly brings me to tears. This masterpiece captures the feeling of longing, of loneliness---yet it still makes me feel strangely at peace with such emotions.
I really like this, honestly. But for some reason I'm scared of it. You see, I watched Spirited Away when I was little (like 3-6 years old) and I was scared of it. I always got scared of my parents turning into pigs if they ate a little too much. So ever since I watched it, this has been scary as hell to me. Of course, now I really don't think my parents will turn into pigs anymore but WHY AM I STILL SCARED?! IT'S SO FRUSTRATING!!!!
I don't know how, but this song is different than other emotional songs. This one actually made me feel my heart drop. And everytime I hear this song, it makes me miss my childhood...
I'm not sure if I'm talking about the same movie here because I was like 7 or 8 when I watched it but I was afraid of it because Chihiro's parents became pigs. I couldn't sleep for a week after that XD
I watched it on Children's Day because my school decided to make us watch it. It was the most terrifying and yet wonderful thing I've ever watched, thpugh I have to finish it someday because I never actually did ...
haha XD when i watched this for the first time and all the times after, i always imagine myself in chihiro's place XD really cool, but some parts of the movie would've scared me way too much hahaha XD
This piece is absolutely brilliant. Joe hisaishi just hasn't received the recognition he deserves. This piece projects so much emotion, it perfectly sums up what chihiro experienced during her time in the spirit world.
For some reason right in the middle of the song I started crying I guess it brought me back to my childhood so much that I just started to miss it now I want to watch the movie over and over again thank you for uploading this
So beautiful, makes me want to cry. A piece so beautiful yet meaningful. This song had kept me alive through even the toughest times in my life. Thank you to the creator(:
Cloud Chan That's my favorite part. I just finished watching the movie for the second time and I'm trying to decide which is my favorite now : Ponyo or Spirited Away because they're both amazing.
lol same I got teary eyed Yea I guess I see what you mean. The first Anime movie I watched was Princess Mononoke don't get me wrong it was an amazing movie but It's prob my favorite because of I watched it at a very young age. So it holds a nostalgic feeling to it; which was me, my brother and I think my sister all huddled on the floor around the desktop computer watching and my brother teasing whoever was crying or getting teary eyed because he was embarrassed to cry. Long story short, some movies in general hold a significance in your heart and that's what makes them amazing :)
That story is so legit I don't even know what to do with myself lol. I can't remember what age I was when I watched Ponyo, but I watch it every year because it was ( I still don't know if it is ) my favorite movie of all time.
This is the most amazing piece of music ive ever heard in my 12 years of living. it gives me chills listening to it, and if i dont learn how to play this before i die...my life isnt complete
I was probably 7 or 8 when I watched "Spirited Away" with my dad. I love it so much and the reason why was how well it was able to provoke the feeling of being lost as a small child in a frightening, unknown yet fascinating world. I think it is the only movie from everything I've watched that can provoke such emotions or any at all. I'm eighteen and I still get that same feeling of being a lost child trying to find a way back home no matter the fears, the monsters and the challenges that are ahead.

lev A masterpiece.
This song fits so well with all the emotions that are felt throughout the film. It is truly a masterpiece.
Aleks King .
My favorite movie...
my friends make fun of me because it's "a kid's movie",
but it's more mature than many "adult" movies...
My friends do that too -.-
Tell them that it was a fantasised version of a story about child prostitution... Seriously google it
IoneMacaroninCheese er... really?
IoneMacaroninCheese There's a lot of interpretable subtext in the movie, it could be about a lot of things. The spirits could very well be representations of other aspects of nature, civilization, or any other thing. The central theme however I believe is identity.
hongquiao You are completely right. And it has quite a few lessons that even adults these days need to learn.
Oh these? They're not tears, it's just raining on my face.
I'm not crying, this song was just a hard eye workout and now they're sweating.
+Chloe Newman Oh these? Oh not tears, just eye sweat

Right in the heart... Such a beautiful melody.. It's been years since I watched the movie, probably should go and refresh it ;D
Lucky I never watched it and I can't :
Faith Dickinson
watch it. watch it. watch it *now*.
i can't
Hey faith you wont regret it promise... And why dont you like to try? :(
Why can't you watch it? It's all over the internet, you don't have to pay for it.
*Listening to this at night on top of a skycraper in the city*
*Jumps off bc this is too beautiful*
My dad started listening to this in the middle of the night.... It scared the shit out of me and woke me up... This was about 8 hours ago...
I can't stop laughing with your comment, cause I tottaly get you!
You must have the best dad ever, man. Even with the abrupt midnight listenings of Joe Hisaishi.

0:00 - 3:57 in my opinion :3
Joh Anna Well said. :)
You too
I just loved this movie. It was amazing.
***** You mean No Face?
No Face was more trying to find his own identity rather than help her, having nothing to call yourself by can be a fate worse than most would think.
Joey Jew what movie is this from?
djkasdjkasdjdjdj spirited away
He's a no face but I think he's called a kaonashi (did I spell it correctly?) which means no face in Japanese
its like the hole love and peace of the world lies in these notes i makes me feel so wonderfull and nostalgic. When I hear this it feel like that I am far away frm home ...
I want this played at my funeral
Snap. This or an Okami song from Mika Matsuura's piano arrangement. He and Joe Hisaishi know how to move your heart with a piano
I was literally thinking that halfway through the song.
same
Definitely
You really want to have everyone destroyed at your funeral...
Only this song reminds me the world is not in my phone, or in my books, my laptop, my bed, my tv, my school, my art... It will always be outside where it's always been.
Hits me right in the feels
This is hands down my favorite movie of all time. Why? Watch the whole video and you'll know. I was in tears by the end... And that was just one of the songs.
was watching this with my family in childhood. so nostalgic, this brought ne tears
I've watched spirited away many times since I was little but I never get bored of it because this song is so beautiful.
man, i love the music and now o love this channel really im so depressed hayao is retiring, the films are great and the musics dont stand before they are great too! really man i almost cryed i subbed u!
He left us a lifetime of beauty.I actually dressed up as no face for halloween for about 3 years in a row.

I love this movie I'm not really into anime but they do have some very beautiful songs
right in the childhood
This is like the only way to listen to One Summer's Day on TH-cam anymore
It's so beautiful... My favorite part starts at about 1:45...
Thats the bit that I remember most from the movie :)
I know, it's like the song is crying :(
Even if you didn't see the movie, the song is so classy and refine. Love it.
fuck why i am crying so suddenly :(
yeah, this song gets me pretty emotional, in memory of the movie and just everything in life:PP
I watched this film yesterday. I thought I knew a lot about movies. I watched it and it was like watching a movie for the first time. Truly spectacular.
I love this movie when I was 7 or 8 and I cried I thought it was amazing to this day it will always shed at least one tear after or during the movie I think its a beautiful story I don't know why someone else talks about it and says they were scared.

i will learn to play this song eventually!

it was a common nightmare back then.
I don't know how, but this song is different than other emotional songs. This one actually made me feel my heart drop. And everytime I hear this song, it makes me miss my childhood...
goosebumps!
just beautiful
Being able to play piece is probably the one that made myself proud as a pianist.. props to joe hisaishi and hayao miyazaki
This song gives me the feels.
Spirited Away has a special place in my heart. So unique from any animations I've seen throughout my life.
I love this movie so much
Spirited Away is my favourite movie, hands down.
same
I love this movie and this song. Thanks for making this! X'D
My sister hasn't seen this movie since she was only 5 years old. Watching it again 10 years later made her cry a river. Such a beautiful song :,)
I'm not sure if I'm talking about the same movie here because I was like 7 or 8 when I watched it but I was afraid of it because Chihiro's parents became pigs. I couldn't sleep for a week after that XD
Yes, that's the right movie. It also gave me nightmares like I was Chihiro's place. Definitely creeped me out when I was a little kid.
I watched it on Children's Day because my school decided to make us watch it. It was the most terrifying and yet wonderful thing I've ever watched, thpugh I have to finish it someday because I never actually did ...
I actually loved the movie when I was little. Love the music also. Just so well played. I loved the characters too. I just adored the movie.
haha XD when i watched this for the first time and all the times after, i always imagine myself in chihiro's place XD really cool, but some parts of the movie would've scared me way too much hahaha XD
even the smaller things about the movie, like the staircase down to the coal-burning room would've had me scared shitless TT-TT hahaha~
This movie was my entire childhood... I loved it so much... Still do. And this made me tear up...
1:14 has to be my favorite although 2:28 is awesome too ugh i just can't choose with this song it's both extremely feely and cheerful T-T
Mo Makhoana Ik right it's absolutely mesmerizing.
i feeeel you!
This piece is absolutely brilliant. Joe hisaishi just hasn't received the recognition he deserves. This piece projects so much emotion, it perfectly sums up what chihiro experienced during her time in the spirit world.

this is the most accurate transcription to this day. Very good job!
Nothing fills me with more dread than watching the green bar in the program slowly outrun and eventually surpass the red bar on youtube.

the quality of his synthesia are amazing
This movie was the best anime movie ever, okay.
(starts crying) It's so beautiful!!!!!!!!! It sounds just like it did in the movie!
And I will learn to play this song if it takes me my entire life!
Gurl me too lol
Me too! I'm on page two of five and it suddenly gets SO hard ;_; it's taken me aaages tho :// I'm only grade 2 ahahaha
Extremely moving piece. Thanks for posting.
I'm learning this song off of this video and I have to say, at around 1:59, my hand now hurts like crazy xD
I get choked up every time I hear this... Spirited Away is such an amazing movie, so emotional and inspiring. One of my all time favourites.
MUM! The flowers are dying!
We'll put them in water when we get to our new home.

Ponyo Angie ... ponyo trust me,

The sweetest song ever ... Almost broke into tears during the movie
I played this in 7th grade for our talent show but now I can't remember how to play it anymore :(
Awe, I love this piece, it's just so beautiful. Spirited away was my favourite film as a kid. So much nostalgia :')
Sounds nostalgic... ~T_T~
not only is Spirited Away an amazing movie, The soundtrack is equally fantastic!!
i want to learn how to play this
For some reason right in the middle of the song I started crying I guess it brought me back to my childhood so much that I just started to miss it now I want to watch the movie over and over again thank you for uploading this

it hits you right in the feels :')
Agreed, it's hard to decide which Miyazaki film you love most b:
I was about to cry at that part :3
I actually watched Ponyo years before I watched Spirited Away so that's why it's so difficult for me to decide.
lol same I got teary eyed
Yea I guess I see what you mean. The first Anime movie I watched was Princess Mononoke don't get me wrong it was an amazing movie but It's prob my favorite because of I watched it at a very young age. So it holds a nostalgic feeling to it; which was me, my brother and I think my sister all huddled on the floor around the desktop computer watching and my brother teasing whoever was crying or getting teary eyed because he was embarrassed to cry.
Long story short, some movies in general hold a significance in your heart and that's what makes them amazing :)
That story is so legit I don't even know what to do with myself lol. I can't remember what age I was when I watched Ponyo, but I watch it every year because it was ( I still don't know if it is ) my favorite movie of all time.
This... never fails to make me snatching the tissues I LOVE THIS ironically
The problem with trying to copy keys from this is you can't see the player's hand placement :/
This is my favorite movie of all time. Truly a masterpiece.
God dammit , i am crying.........
what............ who said that...................
Angel Leat me? **sob** crying? **sob** Nahh I just got something in my eyes.. **sob** I would never cry... **sob**
god I think I could watch spirited away over and over again and I would never get bored of it
Anyone has the music sheets? The link above seems to be dead. Thank you
I adore this movie, and the music is fantastic. It's so relaxing, and it makes me think of all my favorite moments in the movie
Chihiro *O*
Ahh...good old Spirtied Away, this brought back some good memories and a smile to my face.
This is possibly my favourite piece of music ever
This brings back a lot of memories, i've always loved spirited away
I've always loved the movie spirited away and one summers day was my favorite song out of all of them
That whole film was just a complete masterpiece, a pure anime classic!
God bless you for linking the original sheet music. I've wanted to play this ever since I first heard this song when I watched the film. Thank you!
wow...that was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard......The feels
This is the most amazing piece of music ive ever heard in my 12 years of living. it gives me chills listening to it, and if i dont learn how to play this before i die...my life isnt complete
I was probably 7 or 8 when I watched "Spirited Away" with my dad. I love it so much and the reason why was how well it was able to provoke the feeling of being lost as a small child in a frightening, unknown yet fascinating world. I think it is the only movie from everything I've watched that can provoke such emotions or any at all. I'm eighteen and I still get that same feeling of being a lost child trying to find a way back home no matter the fears, the monsters and the challenges that are ahead.
