Howl's Moving Castle - Promise of the World [ 世界の約束 ] // Piano Cover (arr. Hirohashi Makiko)

I love Hirohashi Makiko's arrangements
This is one of those very rare instances where I actually found this song after it was mentioned in the comments. Someone requested it a long time ago, I looked it up and went, "Oh, that's a very nice song!", forgot about it for a bit, someone mentioned it again and I recognized it and finally decided to learn it!
I recognized Hirohashi Makiko's name on one of the arrangements I listened to, and as I expected, it was my absolute favorite take on the song! I think my favorite part is that little quote of "Merry-go-round of life", the main theme, that appears somewhere in the middle.
Short description for once, since to me it's simply a lovely piece that was a lot of fun to learn - hope you enjoy my interpretation, and see you next time!

I played this song a few days ago. I uploaded it to KZbin yesterday and found out about your channel in the listener's comments. I heard your performance for the first time today. Your performance is great (than my performance!) thank you! !! !! I'm glad you played so nicely. Thank you for introducing the sheet music😍

[@Caliko]

Thank you so much! You are an incredible pianist and arranger 😊 I'm honored that you liked my performance!

[@paulwkl]

the performance is beautiful. thank you

[@tintenthin5383]

finally you played this!!! thank youuuuuu, now i can sleep

[@CaliMelodies]

Beautiful piece and magnificent performance! I assume music-wise most people only know or think of "Merry Go Round of Life" when thinking of Howl's Moving Castle music (including me). So this cover has been a very pleasant surprise for me, getting more exposure to Studio Ghibli's beautiful music. Thanks for covering this.

[@Caliko]

I just realized someone mistook me for you on discord once, since my nickname there is Cali lol

[@CaliMelodies]

@@Caliko 😄 funny and kinda surprising to me, since I don't think a lot of ppl (on discord) know of me.

[@kently4465]

Magnifico !! Terrific playing!

[@AnimelodyPiano]

Amazingly well played! Very clean and beautiful 😁 I just started to learn this one haha

[@artishock192]

[@plaboo]

I am coming back to this one way to often, I in fact already bought the sheets for this so I could play it myself. You should start a patreon or something btw, it would be great to be able to give you back for the amazing music you bring to us :)

I’m looking for a new journey with your new piano 💕

[@gpiano7135]

Joe Hisaishi would certainly approve your interpretation. Thank you for sharing!

[@trevor246]

YOU GOT A STEINWAY?!?!? I loved your Bosendorfer, too, but now you have a Steinway?!?!?! HOW? At first I was thinking "Hmmm this sounds different from your other videos. Softer, maybe?" and then I looked at the piano. What happened to the Bosendorfer? It sounds sooooo good by the way (mostly because of your playing). You also have an amazing microphone setup - just perfect - that I like even more than Animenz'!

[@Imerelax]

Omg. I found you 🎉❤❤❤❤❤

[@rohanaramlee9959]

Hi Caliko, this is the best piano rendition of Sekai No Yakusoku I've ever listened to. Can I please have your permission to use this for my wedding?

[@hannesc.9823]

Hey, what tablet are you using and would you recommend it? I am a student and currently looking for one.

[@jorgejimenez1438]

amazing playing! please consider covering parasite eve theme!

[@jung4399]

I envy your piano.

[@nekokuris4443]

Me when I do not remember this piece beacuse in my country they almost sansored half of anime :)* Doing really amazing *-* I Am playing piano too but in very lower level than you hehe good luck!

[@ash_ish]

Ha, I am early too. Glad to see another quick upload. Are you wearing an overwatch hoodie? Also, this is one of those Studio Ghibli movies which I never watched including 2 more. Now maybe I give it a try and watch it for the first time. Now after hearing you play this beautiful piece I really want to learn and try to play this on my own but maybe one day I will. Lastly, Really love the name "Promise of the World" reminding of me something so heavy which is personal to all of us. No long comment, same as your short description. 😏😏 Also seeing you change that iPad screen while playing, causes me physical panic. - Once Upon a Memory.

[@Caliko]

Huh, I checked the logo and it is pretty similar to overwatch lol, it's just a normal hoodie though! And the iPad swipes come so naturally to me at this point, part of the piece almost!

[@kingdel0xe]

An app that could turn pages for you while playing would be awesome

[@Caliko]

I'm pretty sure there exist some smart pedals or timed apps that turn pages for you, I don't mind the swiping though! Compared to turning pages in my monstrous sheet music folders I had before, this is heaven lol

[@LucieGrandPiano]

Beautiful! Amazing sound....which country do you live???

[@Caliko]

Poland!

[@faridanwar4127]

When will you upload the Q&A video?

[@Caliko]

In a few weeks probably! I'm short on time and that will take a long time to edit, so I'm focusing on recording videos for a bit, and when I have more time I'll get to the Q&A

[@Karl_Piano]

i want a grand :(

[@NeonsStyleHD]

Lovely. Though I do feel your right hand is a little heavier than your left.
