Ever since I started this channel, I have been secretly hoping for the release of a new Studio Ghibli soundtrack. Watching piano covers of Joe Hisaishi's music during the early days of CZcams was one of the biggest inspirations for me to try and share piano music on the internet. This was such a lovely song to learn and play, and is a fantastic Studio Ghibli piece for beginners. Hope you have fun playing it!

Saw the movie last night and immediately had to check out what piano CZcams had to offer. The score is so gorgeous and you did it justice with the soft simplicity of this piece. Keep up the great work! 🔥

I heard it live from Joe in London ❤ he was so nervous.

[@Duffman105]

Incredible stuff. The soundtrack is so simple, yet so pensive and inspiring. One of the greats for sure

[@higuntalks1914]

Amazing piece. It's going on my playlist!

[@alexrode7858]

I didn't even know they were making another Ghibli movie until this video. I have work to do! Uhhhhhh [Ghibli dad joke here]

[@lydiat.721]

I can not do the CGE-EGD Part at 0:28 .... My left hand can not reach E .... How 😢

[@Paco4nicholas]

I can’t do it either 😕 I just drop the E to a C, doesn’t sound quite as good but it still works I think

[@hhFaktor]

@@Paco4nicholas Yeah me too, just use c or dont play it at all
