EDIT: An easier and shorter version is now available! ruclips.net/video/do7BWbVdXMk/видео.html It's the exact same arrangement except that it has fewer notes and sections, so I recommend starting with that one ;) Hope you’ll enjoy this faithful recreation of the synthesia version on Joe Hisaishi’s official channel, but this time for solo piano! Sheets are now up 🌟
Honestly my soul was just transported straight to nostalgia heaven! The Ghibli films are without a doubt some of my favorite movies. I'd put it 3rd after my personal fav Princess mononoke and Spirited away. Joe Hisaishi's music is also outstanding. I'm going to go re learn this song. thank you for the for your work!
Tips for those who are learning: No need to exactly copy the song. First start out by finding the left hand chords then the right hand melody. As you practice, you can move onto harder chords (i-e 7th maj - min, sus4, etc) and an even harder melody.
well. im gonna try to learn this. just mentally preparing myself for the hours of annoyance, torment and pain im about to go through to learn another song past my skill level. pray for me
Hey man I just want to say after 4-5 long months of on and off playing, I finally got it done and now Im accomplished, keep up the good work man and STAY CONSISTENT (I used a differently composed version tho)
I just bought a synth for my daughter, but i secretly always wanted to learn to play piano, i just made the intro, i wont stop until learning all the song and someday play it at her wedding
i gave up on this song 5 years ago and abandoned the piano completely. i decided to start over again, after not playing for a long time, on May 25 and finally finished learning this song on August 10 (technically, 32 days, about 1-5 hrs per day, since i don't get to play everyday LOL) it'll take a while to master the second half but i'm proud i didn't give up until the end T__T i'll practice more this video's been my guide since the very beginning, thank you so much!! 💜
I am so fortunate to see your Reddit post when I just decided to practice this piece after watching the movie. It is a great arrangement that’s playable for intermediate level but sounds rich at the same time. I don’t know if I describe it correctly, but some version might sound like there are some little holes in between the notes. Thank you so so much!
@@Optical_vr I stopped and moved on to something else. Like I said those 4 finger chord jumps were hard and there was just too many of them. I'll come back to this piece sometime in the future. I don't wanna spend more than two months learning something.
Ghibli films are so magical, thank you for doing this! I'm doing a Ghibli Medley, so this will be great if I find the confidence to do a full rendition of one of the songs :)
I’m on my third piano lesson and I am setting this piece as my goal! I can’t even keep up with the simple parts on 0.5x speed at the moment😂… I will update in a few months! 0:26
I play piano i am a professional my advice is to keep it slow and steady you get better make your way up and get faster when tou feel comfortable with memorizing the keys and dont give up number one rule thank me later when you master it enjoy and have fun❤
this is SO HARD!!!!! i learned a simplified version, and now im trying this one... i already memorized it until 1:43, i already said to myself to not give up no matter what
Ive only learnt it till 1:15 and the different 3 finger chords look tough to remember. Any tips? (Edit: I don’t read music sheet and I do it purely by memory)
I’ve been learning this piece for like 2 months, and the way i used to remember the notes, is basically that the chords are the base, but a little modified, so, by knowing the first note (that first from the “tum ta ta”) we can have a general idea of what is the chord
How do you guys pedal starting measure 29. It seems like he pumps the first three measures to emphasize staccato and then goes to pumping once per measure when the right hand joins? 0:54
@@dianelezic i think they mean most covers of this song either dont sound right or sound good but are simply way too difficult where this looks like an in between
thank you so much for posting this!! my music teacher suggested we try "merry go round of life" and this rendition of it was by far my favorite one (and actually possible for me to play!! my hands are smallish) i'm nowhere close to a piano prodigy but this song definitely makes me feel like one lol i'm up to about 1:53 rn and i'm so happy that i get to play a song i like!!!! your piano scores are great please keep making them
This is a masterpiece joe hisashi! Am trying to learn this and the chords are hard for me and am just a beginner and am impressed that i even managed to get there!!
I memorized till 2:35 and i feel satisfied (i bought the sheet and 2:35 is exactly my target) the rest of sheet kinda feels wasted but perhaps ill continue in future xD Not the best choice, but i prefer to learn other pieces since it took me too long to fluent this piece (even tho its 2 minutes, im a newbie too)
OMG YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE FOR SO LONG😭 Literally baffled🤯 I was going to start learning this piece over the summer since I want to play it as one of my graded pieces for my piano lesson next semester, so this came at a great moment 😌👌 I really love your arrangements because they aren’t too easy and they aren’t too difficult while keeping the same vibe and feeling as the og
I’ve been practicing this for a couple days now, i am capable of getting to 0:29 easily but damn that F to (whatever that chord is named) is hard Edit one (progress: 0:56) WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE JUMPS, i need tips.
I’ve been enchanted by this song for over a year now and finally got my hands on a keyboard. I’m going to try learning this with 0 prior experience thanks to the very motivating comment section, will update in the comments as I make it half way and to the end… hopefully.
I started learning piano for this song, self taught though so its hard. 2 years ago i got a piano and it was missing the 1st and 7th octave so i could play it, 3 month ago i got a new one and procrastinating learning for another month intill my friend said she would learn it on cello, i have been dabbling since then and about 3 weeks ago decided to fianlly learn it. Im 4:20 into memorizing the song, luckly im familier with memorizing since prevously i memorized the swan accompaniment for my cello friend Thank you for posting this video ❤ its about time i learn the song i started playing for
Il castello errante di howl è stato il primo anime dello studio ghibli che ho visto e ancora oggi penso sia il migliore e questa canzone mi riporta alla mia infanzia, quando lo guardavo sempre
I lost almost 5 semester in university, mi girl broke me up, then i broke mi leg in an drive accident and im isolated for 4 months aprox... Im feel a little lost but i want to go on and be better, so im gonna try to learn this song bcs i love music. I hope to be better when i finish the song c:
Hope you get better soon! Maybe you want to give the easier one a try? It's very similar but shorter and less notes: ruclips.net/video/do7BWbVdXMk/видео.html
I was thinking, can I make slowed down and edited version of this cover? I will credit you. If you don't want me to then that's fine. Literally love this cover btw.
Will this arrangement fit good with the orchestra arrangement because i am learning this arrangement with an orchestra but im not sure if the transition will sound the same as the original.
I only know like 30 seconds of the song and I'm just a beginner lol am trying to do that part because it's my favorite, but dang it's hard respects for getting all the way there!!
Dear Torby Brand! I have a serious question about the pump sustain pedal part from the bottom of the first page. At the first three beat you pedal the first note then let the staccato prevail, but when the right hand comes in if my ear is working the correctly you pedal through it and the staccato is not that noticable. Is this correct or did I misheard it? I want to learn the piece but keep thinking about this part how can I make the best out of it. Thank you for you answer in advance, it is a beautiful arrangement and I am sure that even Joe himself would be proud of this magnificent piece.
Hi! Thank you for the question! It's not staccato in the beginning of that section either. While I do pump the pedal so the notes are separated in terms of sustain, I still hold the pedal during each individual note, so they are not cut off. I think the reason why it sounds more like I'm using sustain when the right hand comes in, is because both hands together make the sound more muddy. But I'm using the same pedal technique in both parts :) Hope that helps!
Anything is possible but more importantly, you should learn several easier and shorter pieces before attempting something of this scale. Then you can learn it in parts, and make a makeshift shorter version so to speak and work from there.
EDIT: An easier and shorter version is now available! ruclips.net/video/do7BWbVdXMk/видео.html

I believe it’s per bass note/chord for the cleanest sound (in the vid) but in theory once per measure should be fine!
omg it sounds so good but it doesnt look too difficult to learn, what spells are you casting on your music
I mean he wasnt the one the compose it, + the Joe Hisaishi official channel did the midi "convert" they simply transcribed it
In what world does this look not difficult to learn? 😅
