I respect Miyazaki’s decision to not make sequels or revisit his worlds and make new ones, but man do I wish we could revisit this one… medieval culture, mysterious religious history, dieselpunk empires, colossal airships, the toxic jungle!! So much was put into this world and it’s just been left for 40 years :(
Saw this movie when I was in junior high. I'm now almost 50yo and this movie is still in my top 3 best movies of all time. I'm so happy that I got to share this movie recently with my son who also fell in love with it.
I'm begging you to *read the manga* it's important and beautiful. It could change your vision of the world, Miyazaki literally put years and all his soul on this manga. Only 7 volumes but an amazing story and message.
It is how the story was originally envisioned by Miyazaki. The movie feels so hollow after the experience of the manga. I can truely say my life has been changed by reading Naussica of the Valley of the Wind
This soundtrack hits different man. I've been watching Studio Ghibli films since I was a child, and now, as a teenager, just re-watching them is so magical. Nausicaä is one of my favourite animated movies ever. it's just so amazingly produced and the storyline is downright magnificent. She's honestly one of the best heroines created. She's such a great character.
omg same!! I watched all of these as a kid and grew up on them so I love them soo soo much. we had to move house and throw out all of the DVDs since they barely worked from being played too much, I forgot all about ghibli for yeaars and now as a teen, they've been added to netflix and I cant stop watching these magical movies i grew up watching and loving. they're so amazing and anyone who hasn't seen them is missing out. I'm so glad I had these growing up honestly. I cant help but cry listening to any of the music now, especially nausicaä since it was my all time favourite
In terms of greatest heroines I put her in second place but that's saying a lot. First place would be Mothra, which is kinda like the spirit animal of Nausicaa in a way.
One of the best. It is, and likely always will be my favorite Miyazaki film, my second favorite anime just behind Akira, and one of my all-time favorite movies, bar none. And of course, Miyazaki's first collaboration with Hisaishi continues to leave quite an impression.
I was a baby since my father watched this film for the first time, since then I’ve seen this film every year of my life multiple times. Nausicaa was my example, my favorite princess, I always wanted to be her, I feel like her way of thinking just forged me into my personality and I’m so grateful to have chosen her as my example as a kid and all my life. I read the manga and I just felt peace and wanted to see no harm in the world and made it different. But the unreal part of the film is that even with my biggest courage to try making people better, I won’t be able to do it alone. But I always dream to be like her some day and try to change the world
“I’m not saying you have to change the world, everyone does a little bit of that” never did I think Patrick Schweneeis ‘Pat The Bunny’, notorious folk punk rocker & radical anarchist would have advice relevant to Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, yet… here we are! you don’t have to single-handedly ‘save the world’, but by inspiring others to help, we can at least make it a little better for everyone!
Nausicaa inspired me as a child, she loved to fly, i loved to watch the birds fly. Now i am studying on how to pilot a glider, its amazing, thank you studio Ghibli❤!
"A thousand years have passed since the collapse of industrialized civilization. A toxic jungle now spreads, threatening the survival of the last of the human race." That opening narration will always send chills down my spine!
WHY are you writing this 8 monbths ago middle of pandemic time? First of all, it says "last of the human race" we are still over 7 billion if you make comparsion... Also second, even if you didnt wanted to compare, why are you writing especially this "Quote" in the pandemic time... ??? Why Next time think, before writing. Also to all other dumb peoples out there, who are not meaningfull especially in times like these.
Chris Partridge while it was made before the studio, it was worked on by many people who would later worked for Ghibli. I feel this anime is important because it helped many landmarks in anime, like Hideki Anno of Evangelion fame, who was the animator of the Giant God Warrior.
Nausicaa was releases just before the founding of ghibli... she is the spiritual predecessor to the format miyazaki perfected... but it is a toei animation by all rights... I believe laputa was the 1st actual ghibli film
@@chrispartridge4936 Well this was his first because before he made movies he made a manga called Nausicaa of the Valley of The Wind, and when a company found this interesting the desided that he should make a movie on it... so he did and it was such a big hit he made another; My neighbor Totoro, and that was an even bigger hit, and after that he was in the movie business... I now this because this was my favorite movie sense I was 2, and I've fallen in love with the world of Nausicaa, BTW the Manga is a ton different form the movie.
I'm probably one of the few who watched this on the big screen when it was released in Japan. This was Studio Ghibli's first movie soI did not really know what to expect, but when the intro music started I knew something wonderful was coming. As the years went by, I'd forgotten much of the details of this movie, but I never forgot the music. or any music Joe Hisaishi composed.
Me too. I watched it back in 2010 when i was just 7 years old and I too forgot a lot of the details that makes this a beautiful masterpiece but I didn't forget the music nor the key moments which have played in my head now and then to remind me of my childhood and to bring a tear to my eye. A year back or so i tried my hardest to find this movie again but failed when suddenly stumbling upon it and even after all these years it is still my altime favorite movie. A true masterpiece!
This movie has singlehandedly awakened my love and respect for nature as a child and teached me the principles of humanism. It will forever be special to me.
I got a TEST based on it. If I a listen to that theme and nothing happens - I am fine; If I see gigantic robots burning to F**KS cyties.. well, I need to be extra carefull this day, I guess.
I am the voice of King Jihl, Nausicaa's father in the English dub and I wake up every morning to this music and I listen in my robe and slippers while I drink a rare and soothing Japanese tea.
Thank you for being a part of my childhood. I was born in 2006 but I grew up with these movies and I feel that it was an extremely important part of my childhood. It’s awesome that you voiced him!
As a kid, I would lay down flat on chairs and pretend to be Nausicaa on her glider. Nausicaa has been a part of me since my childhood. I still watch the movie to this day and the music still gives me a sense of nostalgia. I listen to it and get goosebumps.
Man.....I just finished reading the manga with this soundtrack and wow....just wow. I am absolutely speechless. This was one of the most beautiful stories I've ever experienced. I know this sounds cliche but this was truly a deep manga that left me thinking about life, humanity and much more. You should definitely read the manga if you haven't done so already. It's worth it trust me.
Okay, so.. I am 16 now. I've been LITERALLY watching these movies for the majority of my life. My mom bought me a Ghibli movie set when I was 2 because "oo animation. Must be like Disney!" But i grew up loving these movies. And each time I watched them, I was a little older and understood more and more each time. Good memories
@@mattloveitt5011 Disney+ too which is pretty good for them... But I will say they have definitely gotten recognition, Disney took on Studio Ghibli in like the 80s or 90s, and Spirited Away (2001) is one of the highest grossing movies in Japan
I know it’s been2 years but I’m 16 and I grew up watching these films as well because my dad watched one to see if it was fine for kids and bought all of them. I’m so extremely grateful and got to see joe hisaishi in person in New York this summer. You HAVE to see him because it is an experience you will never forget. It was beautiful and every single person in the building was crying. It’s awesome seeing others who can relate to growing up with these movies
You know what? This is the very first anime I have ever watched. Best start ever, and it got me on the track of being downright obsessed with it. I have the manga, watched the anime so many times. Best soundtrack ever, it brings me so much nostalgia now after years since I last watched it. I'm just 14, this will stick with me forever.
Nausicaa is great! If you're looking for other anime to watch, other Ghibli movies are easy recommendations. Princess Mononoke would be a good companion piece because it also has environmental themes. If you're looking for something more adult, Perfect Blue and Paprika are great anime movies by Satoshi Kon. A little demented and showing characters caught between different realities (metaphorically).
@@jasonfenton8250 I actually have already watched princess mononke, it's the third anime I've watched. But I haven't watched the other two, so thanks for the suggestions!
Every single thing about this movie from top to bottom is exceptional in every regard. How lucky we are to be able to experience it any time we want to.
Very delicate themes. Reveals the pure spirit of Nausicaa. So easily recognized by all that she met. A fierce foe, but a gentle and giving disposition. With respect for all living things.
I had the pleasure of seeing Joe Hisaishi live in Melbourne last year in early March. The moment he started playing the piano from 0:48 onwards, I was brought to tears. It's the first time I've ever been moved by live music before.
Ghibli movies are the best. Each one inspires me to do better in life. This is one of my favorites. The music takes me into a world of strength and courage. It's safe to say, Ghibli is one of the most amazing studios there ever was and ever will be.
listening to this brought me to tears. all the emotions i felt watching nausicaa and hearing this music for the first time came back rushing in so strongly. no other ghibli film means quite so much to me
This was the first Ghibli film I truly connected with, at only 6 years old I remember sitting at my kitchen counter looking at a tiny tv screen and watching this for the first time. I had been too young to connect to Spirited Away yet, and wasn't ready for Howl's Moving Castle, but I watched this story about a brave and kind princess of a dying world who saved her people and the creatures around her. I was enraptured from the first scene, and remember sobbing by the end. It still is my all time favorite Ghibli movie and brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it, and the song with a little girl singing in the back was practically my own lullaby. Forever will Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind go down as an absolute masterpiece in every way.
@@devilex121 i clearly understand what you mean, this story is one of the saddest and you can feel so much rage when you see the aunt, only by thinking to her, I want to slap her (sorry if there are mistakes, English is not my first language)
There are many great movies, especially Studio Ghibli movies always have their moments. But this movie is truly special, it's ahead of it's time in so many ways.
I adore Nausicaä valley of the wind so beautiful, so ethereal. I love flight and the whole idea of it. This music really calms me down. I love the film and see myself as Nausicaä, I relate to her alot.
True power and emotion, fully expressed by the beautifully intense, yet gentle music. It is actually ready to expand and fill the universe of this film. Yet, it is slowly ever-changing, just like the course of the earth. I will always hold this soundtrack dearly in my heart. It's a masterpiece of music.
i love this movie the main character is so awe inspiring and the landscapes so beautiful. The theme really also holds some weight in today's current world. all my friends were like "cool animations bro" made me sad :((
When I was little my dad and I watched a bunch of great movies from studio Ghibli. And now as a teenager I am re-watching them and the movie "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" is one of my favorites. It has a special place in my heart. And the song from 12:00 -13:00 is my favorite song in the whole movie. So happy and beautiful but for some reason it makes me cry every time I listen to it. Probably because I imagine a little girl singing it and she is so young and innocent she has no clue how harsh the world really is and it makes me feel like a kid again.
13:30 is so damn beautiful. My throat tightens everytime I hear it. I looked everywhere in the official soundtrack releases but I can't find the title of that track alone.
I 100% agree. It's together with the Requiem (I think it's the name, the lalala thing) and called "To A Far Away Land " or "Toward the land far away". Best version I found on RUclips was uploaded by "Ethan Ropp" (don't know if I can post links in here) Edit: It also seems to overlap with "The Days Long Gone "
Ive watch the film when i was young (yes..shut up) and it was like 12 to 15 years ago but just listen to the piano of the opening to the film just brought back so many memories about this film. Im totally gonna get my hand on it and watch it again cuz its so beautiful.
i watched a lot of studio ghibli films as a kid but i never got to see this one, im really glad i watched it later on in life, its one my favorite movies and i dont think ill ever get tired of it

I look back at the soundtrack and it was still good as ever as if it was just brand new. Couldn't think of any other better music arrangements other than this one not simply because of the nostalgia it had given me, but of because it was such an impactful film to my life. Back then when I was a child, I would get the tone and the exact melody of 3:47 in my head everyday when I had to go back to school. Even now through my tough years, I still have that same EXACT melody inside my head and had NEVER forgotten the title or the scenes I had seen because it was so much in my interest that I payed attention to everything that was happening in the film. That same melody helped me in so much ways I couldn't imagine whether I didn't think about it or not. Thanks Studio Ghibi, and Miyazaki. And to you too, Hisaishi. Never would have such a good memory without any of these films, creators, art, and concepts.
The movies of Ghibli and the music of Hisaishi are true art! Together they are like a modern opera about human life and nature! The classical music culture of old Europe together with Japan's Zen-like and Shinto-like close affinity to nature is the best cultural mix I've ever experienced!
Not a single “Full Soundtrack Official” compilation of music from the film features its’ excellent electronic interludes. I mean these orchestral works are great too but the interludes are exciting to listen to as standalone pieces also!! I wonder who wrote and produced them and what kind of synthesisers were used
years later i still come back to this. i love listening to this while imagining the comic book canon sequences of this story in ghiblis classical and more technologically advanced animation style is just *chefs kiss*
Overnight homework sounds indeed, first time listening to the soundtrack even though I been watched this movie plenty of times, definitely need to buy.
Even though the intro is supposed to be hopeful, when I hear the piano I think if all my mistakes in my life from love to school. I feel as though i have wasted the time I had been given to accomplish my dreams. I feel as though they are away flying with Nausicaä, while I'm still on the polluted earth that is my failure of a life. Definitely my most favorite movie and manga.
Le château dans le ciel et Nausicaa ont la même base en ost c’est fouuu comment j’adore ces ost. Je remercie Joe Hisaishi pour avoir illuminé mon enfance
Amongst all studio ghibli films, this has the most touch of what's happening in reality. Hatred, pain, and war are the emotions that govern people which destoys them and the world. Nausicaa teaches us to love our people, friends, fmaily, especially those who live on earth with us, wildfire. We are not ohe only ones who live on earth. Be loving and considerate to them as well. Remember that.
The weight and beauty of this score and most of Hisaishi's scores for Miyazaki's films are what truly help elevate them from "animated movies" to just great films in general. You get a sense of the gravity of the adult themes the film is trying to get across, but the child-like sense of wonder is never sacrificed. Hisaishi is probably one of the best things to happen to Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. He's the Williams to Miyazki's Spielberg.
This is legit the most beautiful movie I've ever seen, wonderful characters, cultures, creatures, a story like this makes you wish humanity could change before it's too late
I love the Nausicaä movie, although it wasn't the first Studio Ghibli film I ever saw (Spirited Away was, and it attracted me to the studio for how it managed to surprise me and avoid tired old Western clichés). If anyone listening to this hasn't ever seen the movie, I'd recommend it. It's not really suitable for very young children, but kids aged 8+ should be able to at least get the strong environmental message woven into the story (although you aren't beaten over the head with the message, another thing which I like about Ghibli when compared to Western films). It always "gets" to me when I hear that silly-sounding "lah, la-la-la-la-lah-lah" because I know the scenes which it goes with. The first time we hear it, an Ohmu (giant insect, in the background in this video) is obviously communicating telepathically with Nausicaä, then the second time we hear it, we get to see the memory which the Ohmu saw, which means that the third time we hear it, we can understand why the scene it accompanies is happening. The old saying "one good turn deserves another" applies, in spades.
Nausicaä stays the biggest icon of ghibli and the track "The Legend of the Wind" makes me forget that there are other ghibli movies it is truly magical
I just found this in netflix and watched it and this always pops up in my head once a month and this time I forgot the movies name so I literally searched up "yellow flowers, ohms and lalala" and it showed up lmao I'm sooooo glad to have found this hehe
Cette oeuvre magnifique de Joe Hisaishi me rappelle les grands poèmes symphoniques des compisiteurs Russes de la fin du 19e siècle: Borodine, Mussorgsky et Rimsky-Korsakov.
Sensationnelle. Le monde entier devrait connaître les musiques de Nausicaa de la vallée du vent. Une si belle musique mérite d'être la 1ère musique du siècle. Elle est tellement misterieuse avec quelques résonances dev musique classique. C'est mon Ghibli préféré et les musiques aussi. Bravo au compositeur. 👏😍❤️❤️❤️
This music is really awesome, filling me with a bunch of great emotions. Thank you, master Hisaishi. The little girl's voice is also really perfect, while watching the movie.
Hey, if you liked the movie, go read the manga. Its like the movie but 10x better. Maybe more. The movie is only the first volume of the manga, in reality it continues and goes way deeper. You can read it for free on the site Japscan. Its a life changing experience.
Don't you just hate yourself for compulsively listening, reading, watching, or being overall exposed to things that'll make you cry and be nostalgic for no reason, but at the same time you don't regret it, because it hits the spot and how much it soothes you in comparison just makes you feels carefree and lighthearted as a child, if even for a moment and because it works better than going to a therapist even...? I'm not human, I'm a ball of anxiety with legs, fight me... Actually, don't. Pls, don't, I'll probably have a danger night🙂✌🏻
I respect Miyazaki’s decision to not make sequels or revisit his worlds and make new ones, but man do I wish we could revisit this one… medieval culture, mysterious religious history, dieselpunk empires, colossal airships, the toxic jungle!! So much was put into this world and it’s just been left for 40 years :(
Read the manga if you want more!
Wow It’s really 40 years soon! Now 39 in 2023
But really have we left it? As long as the story is still being told, the world is still there, alive and thriving.
There is no manga of this as far as i know.@@konstantinriumin2657

But i grew up loving these movies. And each time I watched them, I was a little older and understood more and more each time. Good memories
Same here bruh the fact Netflix just added them all 🔥 shame grave of the fireflies ain’t there but oh well bout time they got their recognition
@@mattloveitt5011 Disney+ too which is pretty good for them... But I will say they have definitely gotten recognition, Disney took on Studio Ghibli in like the 80s or 90s, and Spirited Away (2001) is one of the highest grossing movies in Japan
I know it’s been2 years but I’m 16 and I grew up watching these films as well because my dad watched one to see if it was fine for kids and bought all of them. I’m so extremely grateful and got to see joe hisaishi in person in New York this summer. You HAVE to see him because it is an experience you will never forget. It was beautiful and every single person in the building was crying. It’s awesome seeing others who can relate to growing up with these movies
Joe Hisaishi is a musical genius...and part of the reason that Miyazaki is a legend.
A very big part.
The manga for Nausicaa is literally my favorite thing I’ve ever read. Like, hands down. It has such a special place in my heart.
You know what? This is the very first anime I have ever watched. Best start ever, and it got me on the track of being downright obsessed with it. I have the manga, watched the anime so many times. Best soundtrack ever, it brings me so much nostalgia now after years since I last watched it. I'm just 14, this will stick with me forever.
it was my first anime too, I completely understand you. I've already watched it so many times and every time I love it even more
This is the movie that I'll bring to my grave
Nausicaa is great! If you're looking for other anime to watch, other Ghibli movies are easy recommendations. Princess Mononoke would be a good companion piece because it also has environmental themes.
If you're looking for something more adult, Perfect Blue and Paprika are great anime movies by Satoshi Kon. A little demented and showing characters caught between different realities (metaphorically).
@@jasonfenton8250 I actually have already watched princess mononke, it's the third anime I've watched. But I haven't watched the other two, so thanks for the suggestions!
This movie was made same year i was. So happy for that. Also one of the first anime i saw
Every single thing about this movie from top to bottom is exceptional in every regard. How lucky we are to be able to experience it any time we want to.
Very delicate themes. Reveals the pure spirit of Nausicaa. So easily recognized by all that she met. A fierce foe, but a gentle and giving disposition. With respect for all living things.
I find myself coming back to this recording quite often. Truly masterful work from Joe Hisaishi.
That opening strikes me with chills every time.
7:45 - 8:15 This transition has such a wonderful sense of movement.
This music takes me to a different world
I had the pleasure of seeing Joe Hisaishi live in Melbourne last year in early March. The moment he started playing the piano from 0:48 onwards, I was brought to tears. It's the first time I've ever been moved by live music before.
Ghibli movies are the best. Each one inspires me to do better in life. This is one of my favorites. The music takes me into a world of strength and courage. It's safe to say, Ghibli is one of the most amazing studios there ever was and ever will be.
listening to this brought me to tears. all the emotions i felt watching nausicaa and hearing this music for the first time came back rushing in so strongly. no other ghibli film means quite so much to me
This music is embedded into my soul
I think you speak for all of us
Storia meravigliosa, musiche straordinarie. Una vera opera d’arte
im sitting in my place but my heart is flying with prcess naussica
I felt that 💯
Joe and hayao really, REALLY make one of the best teams in movie history. Both of them are made for each other
Every single song on this track is impactful
This was the first Ghibli film I truly connected with, at only 6 years old I remember sitting at my kitchen counter looking at a tiny tv screen and watching this for the first time. I had been too young to connect to Spirited Away yet, and wasn't ready for Howl's Moving Castle, but I watched this story about a brave and kind princess of a dying world who saved her people and the creatures around her. I was enraptured from the first scene, and remember sobbing by the end. It still is my all time favorite Ghibli movie and brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it, and the song with a little girl singing in the back was practically my own lullaby. Forever will Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind go down as an absolute masterpiece in every way.
this does bring a tear to my eye. the only movie i have ever cried over. this is the greatest film of all time.
oh it definitely moved me but i bawled like a baby over grave of the fireflies, now THAT's a movie that will make you cry
@@devilex121 When Marnie was There just hits home for me, I cried more than when watching Grave of the Fireflies
@@devilex121 i clearly understand what you mean, this story is one of the saddest and you can feel so much rage when you see the aunt, only by thinking to her, I want to slap her (sorry if there are mistakes, English is not my first language)
There are many great movies, especially Studio Ghibli movies always have their moments. But this movie is truly special, it's ahead of it's time in so many ways.
That opening is hauntingly beautiful. Such a great intro to the piano parts.
Hisaishi's creativity is mind blowing.
I adore Nausicaä valley of the wind so beautiful, so ethereal. I love flight and the whole idea of it. This music really calms me down. I love the film and see myself as Nausicaä, I relate to her alot.
Amazing how the music can bring everything back. This movie is so powerful. Miyazaki is legend.
The feelings... I still cry listening to it... It's been so many years...
Miyazaki, Joe and Ghibli’s animations are so gentle beautiful sad happy and healing somethings. Thanks all.
True power and emotion, fully expressed by the beautifully intense, yet gentle music. It is actually ready to expand and fill the universe of this film. Yet, it is slowly ever-changing, just like the course of the earth. I will always hold this soundtrack dearly in my heart. It's a masterpiece of music.
i love this movie the main character is so awe inspiring and the landscapes so beautiful. The theme really also holds some weight in today's current world. all my friends were like "cool animations bro" made me sad :((
When I was little my dad and I watched a bunch of great movies from studio Ghibli. And now as a teenager I am re-watching them and the movie "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" is one of my favorites. It has a special place in my heart. And the song from 12:00 -13:00 is my favorite song in the whole movie. So happy and beautiful but for some reason it makes me cry every time I listen to it. Probably because I imagine a little girl singing it and she is so young and innocent she has no clue how harsh the world really is and it makes me feel like a kid again.
these movies are great ways to filter out friends that have heart or just hardons
13:30 is so damn beautiful. My throat tightens everytime I hear it. I looked everywhere in the official soundtrack releases but I can't find the title of that track alone.
I 100% agree. It's together with the Requiem (I think it's the name, the lalala thing) and called "To A Far Away Land " or "Toward the land far away". Best version I found on RUclips was uploaded by "Ethan Ropp" (don't know if I can post links in here)
Edit: It also seems to overlap with "The Days Long Gone "
@@aka.Kosmos77 dude, thank you so much! I'll look it up immediately!
Nausicaa is one of my favorite studio Ghibli films. This soundtrack is so peaceful.
You can't even describe Joe hisashi's music! The main theme makes me cry because it's outstanding and way too emotional 😭♥️
Ive watch the film when i was young (yes..shut up) and it was like 12 to 15 years ago but just listen to the piano of the opening to the film just brought back so many memories about this film. Im totally gonna get my hand on it and watch it again cuz its so beautiful.
7:56 the best part I adore
It's mine too. Its name is " Battle between Moeve and Corvette " and you can find it here. ruclips.net/video/wXInZvwVrPE/видео.html
This is the chasing part, correct?
Same. So exciting
Best part for sure
@@CaccavelliTheDon You have no idea how grateful I am to you for writing the name of this melody
i watched a lot of studio ghibli films as a kid but i never got to see this one, im really glad i watched it later on in life, its one my favorite movies and i dont think ill ever get tired of it
I'm not religious but this music feeds something inside me like warmth from the sun followed by that gentle cooling breeze.
Ghibli studio films are the ones that leave me with best memories...
These shimmering melodies make my heart ache for a world that I would hate to be real
When I was little my dad and I watched a bunch of great movies from studio Ghibli. And now as a teenager I am re-watching them and the movie "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" is one of my favorites. It has a special place in my heart.

Probably because I imagine a little girl singing it and she is so young and innocent she has no clue how harsh the world really is and it makes me feel like a kid again.
the first music sounds like your adveturing in a classic pixel rpg. It gives me nostalgia like playing a game I've played long time ago
this shit makes me cry i grew up watching nausicaa and shes still my favorite person in the world
I look back at the soundtrack and it was still good as ever as if it was just brand new. Couldn't think of any other better music arrangements other than this one not simply because of the nostalgia it had given me, but of because it was such an impactful film to my life.
Back then when I was a child, I would get the tone and the exact melody of 3:47 in my head everyday when I had to go back to school. Even now through my tough years, I still have that same EXACT melody inside my head and had NEVER forgotten the title or the scenes I had seen because it was so much in my interest that I payed attention to everything that was happening in the film. That same melody helped me in so much ways I couldn't imagine whether I didn't think about it or not.
Thanks Studio Ghibi, and Miyazaki.
And to you too, Hisaishi.
Never would have such a good memory without any of these films, creators, art, and concepts.
Agreed. I can't imagine a better musical director for Studio Ghibli, it brings me so much happiness that they've never gotten rid of him.
ナウシカが宮崎アニメで一番好き。
久石譲さんの音楽がまた素晴らしく、最高！
何度聴いても飽きないし、美しい音楽。
私も大好き
Amazing 🤩
Jesus, this is a masterpiece, all the feelings this makes you feel are just, beatiful and awesome. I love you Studios Ghibli thanks for exist.
14:31 and onward always gives me chills in the best way possible.
The movies of Ghibli and the music of Hisaishi are true art! Together they are like a modern opera about human life and nature!
The classical music culture of old Europe together with Japan's Zen-like and Shinto-like close affinity to nature is the best cultural mix I've ever experienced!
The live concerts by Hisashi are a must watch. It shows that his music is much more than a soundtrack.
Just watched this again the other day. Such an amazing, awe inspiring movie. So many emotions. The manga is just too sad :(
Not a single “Full Soundtrack Official” compilation of music from the film features its’ excellent electronic interludes. I mean these orchestral works are great too but the interludes are exciting to listen to as standalone pieces also!! I wonder who wrote and produced them and what kind of synthesisers were used
For crying out loud!... so beautiful!
years later i still come back to this. i love listening to this while imagining the comic book canon sequences of this story in ghiblis classical and more technologically advanced animation style is just *chefs kiss*
Overnight homework sounds indeed, first time listening to the soundtrack even though I been watched this movie plenty of times, definitely need to buy.
Even though the intro is supposed to be hopeful, when I hear the piano I think if all my mistakes in my life from love to school. I feel as though i have wasted the time I had been given to accomplish my dreams. I feel as though they are away flying with Nausicaä, while I'm still on the polluted earth that is my failure of a life. Definitely my most favorite movie and manga.
What are your dreams?
Le château dans le ciel et Nausicaa ont la même base en ost c’est fouuu comment j’adore ces ost. Je remercie Joe Hisaishi pour avoir illuminé mon enfance
Amongst all studio ghibli films, this has the most touch of what's happening in reality. Hatred, pain, and war are the emotions that govern people which destoys them and the world. Nausicaa teaches us to love our people, friends, fmaily, especially those who live on earth with us, wildfire. We are not ohe only ones who live on earth. Be loving and considerate to them as well. Remember that.
probably my favorite movie ever. i love this so much.
The weight and beauty of this score and most of Hisaishi's scores for Miyazaki's films are what truly help elevate them from "animated movies" to just great films in general. You get a sense of the gravity of the adult themes the film is trying to get across, but the child-like sense of wonder is never sacrificed. Hisaishi is probably one of the best things to happen to Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. He's the Williams to Miyazki's Spielberg.
This is legit the most beautiful movie I've ever seen, wonderful characters, cultures, creatures, a story like this makes you wish humanity could change before it's too late
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is perfect movie and Hayao Miyazaki is perfect creator. Love this movie. Studio Ghibli is breathtaking and epic!
I love the Nausicaä movie, although it wasn't the first Studio Ghibli film I ever saw (Spirited Away was, and it attracted me to the studio for how it managed to surprise me and avoid tired old Western clichés).
If anyone listening to this hasn't ever seen the movie, I'd recommend it. It's not really suitable for very young children, but kids aged 8+ should be able to at least get the strong environmental message woven into the story (although you aren't beaten over the head with the message, another thing which I like about Ghibli when compared to Western films).
It always "gets" to me when I hear that silly-sounding "lah, la-la-la-la-lah-lah" because I know the scenes which it goes with. The first time we hear it, an Ohmu (giant insect, in the background in this video) is obviously communicating telepathically with Nausicaä, then the second time we hear it, we get to see the memory which the Ohmu saw, which means that the third time we hear it, we can understand why the scene it accompanies is happening. The old saying "one good turn deserves another" applies, in spades.
Nausicaä stays the biggest icon of ghibli and the track "The Legend of the Wind" makes me forget that there are other ghibli movies it is truly magical
Still my favourite Ghibli film. This OST just gives me pure goosebumps. Love it, love it, love it!
5:41 This part lead me to discover Handel's Harpsichord in D minor arrangement.
Sarabande sir.
Blitzkrieg Wolf SAME
Thank you! I've been searching for the name of that piece for ages!!
Si, lo sabía pero había olvidado el nombre, gracias hermano
Best part 0:00 - 17:40
A plane! :o
I just found this in netflix and watched it and this always pops up in my head once a month and this time I forgot the movies name so I literally searched up "yellow flowers, ohms and lalala" and it showed up lmao I'm sooooo glad to have found this hehe
I cry every time I listen to this mastepiece. Such beauty, delicacy and art!
Cette oeuvre magnifique de Joe Hisaishi me rappelle les grands poèmes symphoniques des compisiteurs Russes de la fin du 19e siècle: Borodine, Mussorgsky et Rimsky-Korsakov.
J'avous
Idk... reminds me of Ravel.
The Best music with nothing extra, no electronics, no lies, just great composing and great music...
ナウシカの音楽が１番胸が熱くなります
久々に聴いたら涙が出ました。あの頃心澄み切った気持ちで見た感情がよみがえって来たかな。
Sensationnelle. Le monde entier devrait connaître les musiques de Nausicaa de la vallée du vent. Une si belle musique mérite d'être la 1ère musique du siècle. Elle est tellement misterieuse avec quelques résonances dev musique classique. C'est mon Ghibli préféré et les musiques aussi. Bravo au compositeur. 👏😍❤️❤️❤️
ive read the manga while the soundtrack was playing
oooh good idea i'm going to do that :3
Doing this right now reading the final chapters. It's amazing.
I did the same ! Amazing manga I don' regret buying all the volume at once !
Manga is just a masterpiece
@@juanista4170 how different is it from the movie?
1984! thats when this was released! That alone is incredible. This is an absolute Masterpiece. Remember,.1984!
I can't stop listening to this
This is the best music I've ever heard. It's in my heart forever. I feel like my soul is glowing.
This music is really awesome, filling me with a bunch of great emotions. Thank you, master Hisaishi.
The little girl's voice is also really perfect, while watching the movie.
Hey, if you liked the movie, go read the manga. Its like the movie but 10x better. Maybe more. The movie is only the first volume of the manga, in reality it continues and goes way deeper. You can read it for free on the site Japscan. Its a life changing experience.
@@valerianleduc4830 I already have it ^^ still, the movie is really nice
I just watched the movie and I am stunned. So poignant and so beautiful.
12:06 is this the reference for Bocchi the Rock ep.7?
I have been looking into this since it was deleted on Spotify! This was my comfort music when creating something. What a Masterpiece!
Don't you just hate yourself for compulsively listening, reading, watching, or being overall exposed to things that'll make you cry and be nostalgic for no reason, but at the same time you don't regret it, because it hits the spot and how much it soothes you in comparison just makes you feels carefree and lighthearted as a child, if even for a moment and because it works better than going to a therapist even...? I'm not human, I'm a ball of anxiety with legs, fight me...
Actually, don't. Pls, don't, I'll probably have a danger night🙂✌🏻
I've heard this music for the first time in 25 years. I got immediate flashbacks of this film and tears. How could I forget...
Music for my soul :")
Thanks for this masterpiece Mr. Hisaishi
