- While playing public piano: I started talking to 2 girls who had strong american accents, but I later discovered that they were from Japan and gotten their accent from attending an International school. I then played my own arrangement of 'The Merry Go Round of Life' from the movie Howls Moving Castle. The piece was composed by Joe Hisaishi, and the movie was directed by Hayao Miyazaki and animated by Studio Ghibli

I recently made a more advanced arrangement of this and have uploaded it with free sheet music czcams.com/video/UQfLancv_5A/video.html
@RQblade thankyou so much! I am gonna keep uploading more videos!!!
"Free" sheets? If 10 bucks is free then ur living in a wrong world..
@@Kalamiro the sheets are free in the video
Thank you!!! Going straight away to to the link! Peace man!
@@nickpollockpiano Amazingggggggg! 💗💕
He's not a simp, he's a gentleman.
True
people need to respect men like him more :(
Indeed
Simps would ask: "I'll play whatever you want"
I am not sure if this comment is supposed to be sarcastic or not 😂😂 well thanks anyway!
Hes so good that even the street noises disappear to listen
Hahahaha Yeah true! That's why I practice every day; so that I can demand the undivided attention of everything, both living and inanimate 😂
@@nickpollockpiano Your practice makes perfection
@@otakubunnyxx6217 but if nothing is perfect, why practice? 🤔
@@varence7007 I'm saying he is perfection
Last person that received that compliment was Orpheus, which speaks a lot lmao
"Japan??"
him in his head: *Is this a chance?*
the only comment i found here that addresses this!!! i clicked on the vid cuz of the slightly tokenism-ish title
@@kkO_oki I‘m a white male and a token of patriarchy and science
I also found it lowkey awkward having two slightly hue-shifted Sophies in the thumbnail... bit of a weird choice lmao
I’ve always wanted to know; does it feel satisfying getting offended on other people’s behalf?
@@clutterbot7279 l don't think it means what you think it means
Hi, I’m the Japanese girl that’s talking in the beginning, and just found this video by chance. It sounds amazing here, but was somehow even better in person. It was actually the perfect song choice seeing as howl’s moving castle is my favourite Ghibli movie and i share the protagonists name haha. Thanks for the lovely performance!
😀 I am glad you enjoyed it! Yeah actually when I record the sound through my computer it makes it all sound flat (as in, no loud and soft. Everything becomes medium). And I am happy that you liked the song!! It is my favourite ghibli movie too!
wow, this has come full circle. the internet never cease to amaze lmao
Are you for real??
Did you tell the guy in person of such perfect moment of destiny?
@@nickpollockpiano I also like it and Spirited away, and Totoro. It is wonderful! Go on and please: make more Videos to Ghibli- Songs. Very peaceful!
Do you use Instagram?
I like how people stop just to hear him play
The hard part is getting the first person to stop! After that many people will follow 😄
IKR
nick pollock piano lol the sheeple😂
That's the magic of music
@@nickpollockpiano people are like sheeps unless someone is there others wont be
Id stop and be like “WAIT WAIT HOWLS MOVING CASTLE-“
Same
I'll be rolling around☺🙃☺
I see you in every Howl’s moving castle videos lol
Ahahah yes! "Let me cry a minute, then we can go"
My dumb sleep deprived, 4 cups of coffee in and barely walking a straight line so I can work 3 jobs and pay bills ass would be like "I.....know this, I know I do, it sounds so familiar.... HHMMMMMMM" And then an hour later when my brain catches up I'd be like "OH! Duh."
it's very rare but imagine if they didn't know the song/movie at all lmao
That actually does happen sometimes 😂
But at least they flock to it thinking its beautiful! And if they ever see the movie then it'll be a very nice moment of realisation and reflection of the memory of the man playing that one nice song on the street.
You never know!
If this happened to me, I would cry
thankyou so much!!! i cant belive my playing could have such a powerful effect on someone 😮
I'm a 27 year old man and I'm legit crying. I'd probably cry if I played it too.
I cried and it didn't happened to me🥺
literally me
❤️
My friend played this on a grand piano during a talent show at our school. She's really small (only like 5 feet or sth) and she went on stage, looked at the audience and then took off her shoes, telling everyone that she can't play like this. She then made the whole piano shake and move under her hands. And she really did great. It was magical. The whole room was silent for 10 minutes or so. One of my best moments in life
Ur lucky I hope I experience it in day!
Taking of shoes like in piano no mori
Sounds awesome!!
it’s like that scene from “ forest of piano “ so cool!
Oh man wish that was on film
I'm so glad that youtube recommended me this
Thankyou so much!!!!
Same
Same it's so beautiful
Very impressive
Same haha lol ✨
What's hilarious is most of those people have no clue they're admiring a song from an anime 😂
Haha yeah sometime it is funny when I am playing a song from a video game and a dude in his 70s is enjoying it, and sometimes they even say 'i know that song' and I am like 'there is literally a 0% chance that you know this song'
@@nickpollockpiano this is like when old people wonder how young people know songs from the 50s and 60s. He probably has grandkids that play that game to death.
Ryuu Drazyl Howl's Moving Castle is a super popular adaptation. It transcends gatekeeping tbh.
@@nickpollockpiano lmaooo
its from an anime?
1:05 I love how this guy recognizes this is gonna be famous and immediately starts recording.
Yeah that's hilarious how that guy just randomly appears from off screen
@@nickpollockpiano And at the perfect time!
I just watch it yesterday I am still shook and I've read the book 📖 WHY DID NOBODY TOLD ME THERE WAS A CHIBLI FLIM ON HOWLS MOVING CASTLE?! HUH!?
Wow you read the book, I have heard it is really good and there is whole series right?!? i wish studio ghibli would make movies of the rest of the series!!!!
Wait... THERE'S A BOOK?!?!?!!
I’m the other way around haha
i didnt know there was a book tf?
Wait, there's a book???!
It is great but a little fast and you cut some parts out, but street piano is street piano you gotta play to impress
In this video I was playing in a very street piano style. Check out my advanced arrangement, I based it on the orchestral version and it is a much better arrangement and performance czcams.com/video/UQfLancv_5A/video.html
@@nickpollockpiano : nah, I like it this way. haha
As you said it is street piano
It is perfect and it melts people's hearts just as well
"You have such a strong american accent!"
"Yeah I get that A LAWT"
Hahaha yeah that American pronunciation is very distinct
Same for me , grew up in the uk and everyone around me had a strong British accent and I had a strong American one. When I moved everyone asked me if I was from America
@Lil smackaroo oooo I mean then I can understand why they would think that 😂
@@mehakgoyal9420 I just watched a documentary on a condition that causes people to lose their native accent and all of a sudden speak in a foreign accent. It was very interesting. Did this happen to you?
@@mamajeana100 I um, maybe 😂 but I will admit that I did watch a lot of American shows when I was young since British shows always annoyed me sometimes ( I did watch them but not as much as Americans just a few British ones) so maybe I just picked up an accent or smth I doubt any conditions caused it to change
That was amazing . Somehow muting the street noise and hearing only the piano made everyone around walking look like the background characters in the plaza just like the movie .
Wow that's cool, I do like the cinematic effect of all of the noise disappearing
When he started to play I just held my heart, closed my eyes, and let the tears flow. This piece will never stop me from feeling at peace.
Wow, I can't believe my music had such a powerful effect on someone!! Thankyou so much for listening!!
nick pollock piano anytime just be the best you can be and NEVER stop playing, I want to learn how to play so bad but I can’t afford it. :/
Wow, same. I've never cried to this song in all my years of listening to it and rewatching the movie, but this moved me to tears so quickly.
I don't understand why this song always makes me cry.
The street crossing sound goes off at the exact same time he finishes the song. Like a separate little celebration sound.
hahahahaha
Are you the guy who was playing Howls theme in front of the Townhall today??? If is, I saw you!!! You are amazing and the city with the xmas lights and you playing was a completely magical moment, thank you so much for that! You made the best moment of my day today
Yeah that was me, thankyou so much!
Wow, thats a true merry go round, waltz in life... With flourish.. your moving around and being seen and recognized here, thru ur music
i'd literally cry if i saw someone playing Ghibli's music on the street.
❤❤❤❤❤
Я из России. Недавно Я гулял со своей девушкой и мы услышали как парень играл на скрипке эту мелодию. Я чуть не заплакал
If I were one of them: "Marry me"... Haha, I love this song so much TuT
😂😂 omg thankyou!
@@nickpollockpiano No, thank YOU 🤍
@@LoVe-qx8yv "no YOU'RE breathtaking" vibes lol
I met you the other day at the piano below the escalator (Westfield)
You should definitely upload more often
Have you had a look at any of Animenz's or Kyle Landry's arrangements?
I think you might like them!:)
Yeah I have watched both, they are very good
?! I’m from Westfield, and this has j been recommended to me - what are the odds!
Howl’s Moving Castle Theme makes me feel so safe
it is a beautiful piece of music!! You should check out my newest version, i included all of the details of the orchestral version and added a few things of my own
czcams.com/video/UQfLancv_5A/video.html
@@nickpollockpiano thamk you! The one you linked is absolutely beautiful ❤️
@@akrodr6 Thankyou so much!!
The music sounds like straight from hell, I mean not in a bad way, but the theme sounds like what a devil would play in his piano
Bruh if I ever hear this piece on the street, I would drop whatever I’m doing and run to find where it’s coming from
I love that CZcams just decided to recommend this to me
Thankyou CZcams 😀
So nice to play that magnificent melody...😍
Thankyou for listening 😀
I haven't watched this since high school, but the theme song will forever be ingrained in my mind rent free 😌
yeah, i am the same. I may forget a whole movie, but if the music is good i will never forget it!
I’m in love
Thankyou
First person seeing this awesome piano cover
Thank you 😀
I strongly reccomend anyone who hasnt seen the movie to watch it
I will when I can!
It is a great movie
@@nickpollockpiano Been in my anime collection since 2017.
It’s such an amazing movie.
Also nausicaa and laputa
If someone played this for me I would ✨simply marry them then pass away✨
hahahaha Thankyou so much, but i am not sure i understand the "pass away" part though hahahaha
@@nickpollockpiano Run away! Run far, far away! Haha
HAHAH i wheeeZz
He almost has the KK Slider effect - where all the surroundings melt away and its just him playing under a spotlight
You played it so beautifully ❤️
Thankyou!!
The old classic Ghibli music quiet relaxing
Yeah it is good music!
CHILLS CHILLS I LOVE THIS SM
これはすごいなぁ…………………
日本人で｢人生のメリーゴーランド｣を弾いている動画は何度も見たことあるけど、外国人でこんなに上手い人は初めて見た……………
Bruh, your hands, they move so effortlessly, like they're flowing with the music. It looks so mesmerizing. And boy do I love studio ghibli.
thankyou !
This is a beautiful arrangement of one of my favorites. Uff, the feels! Thank you :)
I have been so stressed lately. I needed this. Thank you! ❤
I like how you included why you decided to play this song.
Hahaha yeah, this is a glimpse in to the mind of a busker
Love the work

I’ve been trying to learn this song on piano for a while, you make it look so easy!
Love the applause at the end.
It brings me so much peace to listen to this, and in a Piano I feel it's better
Thankyou so much!
Maestro!!
Thankyou so much!!
Great song, I love the music and I love how you interact with the girl in the backgrounds. It must be a special experience to perform in the crowd. Good job.
This just made my day a bit better
This channel deserve a million subs
Thankyou so much!!! I hope i can keep making content that people will enjoy!!!
Absolutely incredible!! I’ve been playing piano for over a year now and videos like these are my Inspiration ^^ cause my hands are still small and don’t reach certain things I’d like to do but I still wanna be able to play magically like this someday
Even with small hands it is still possible to play everything on piano. You might need to remove notes or play different notes occasionally. But every song can be arranged for small hands and sound just as good. And that is a fact. The only problem people with small hands have is that many of the arrangements made by people are for average hands. But if take the melody and chords in most cases you can definitely make an arrangement that sounds just as good
I LOVE IT
Please this is so good it makes me want to just keep listening to it on repeat!!!
Thankyou so much!
