My Neighbor Totoro - Main Theme (Flute & Piano Cover) ft.

I filmed this down in the woods in Redwing, Minnesota last June. I thought it would be nice to release it during the time when this place is an arctic tundra to remind myself why I still live here 😂

This was the best song of the entire movie. I remember a song from Spirited Away, and I also remember one from Kiki's Delivery Service. Joe Hisaishi is a true musician and composer.

[@InstrumentManiac]

He is! Such sticking power with his compositions

[@LemonCrush72]

Immediate happiness is achieved by listening to just one second of this

[@InstrumentManiac]

😊😊😊

[@helenho325]

Such a happy song! Totoro is a child's best friend.

[@robbicu]

I agree, our frozen tundra in central Wisconsin is getting tiring, and I'm getting tired of just practicing by myself. Refreshing piece, with your great sound. Thanks Luke!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Hopefully it thaws out soon! 😂

[@Zero-tt2om]

Just Heard the first 10 seconds and i don't think i need more to be happy

[@ReverbCanvas]

This is the first time I hear this song, and I was tearing up 5 seconds into the video. Absolutely gorgeous performance and such a sweet piece

[@leonply]

The perfect music and backgrounds for this chilly day. As always, so very glad that you and your friends take the time to share with us!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thank you very much Leon!

[@jorgemartinpaez4376]

The ending of Totoro!! I love this movie!!!

[@dannyk4044]

Not only do you cover my favourite children’s show themes in Thomas the tank engine but you cover some of my favourite anime films too ! This is great! Keep up the good work!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thank you for listening Danny!

[@lowheadvarney158]

This makes me wish they used you in the film. You're so good!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Hopefully one day I'll get the call from Joe Hisaishi 😂

[@Reykman_channel]

I remember my childhood💓

[@idraote]

These open air settings suit both of you splendidly, what with the sunrays kissing you and you both playing beautifully together. I liked how you showed the depth of this little song who is "chidlike" but not "childish" with so many colours and dynamics. P.S. I shared it on my Japanese FB group 😃 - I'm sure they will love it.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thank you idraote!! I'm going to make more of an effort to record outside again this summer. It's just so nice and freeing... even if you look like a crazy person to passerbys 😂

[@idraote]

@@InstrumentManiac And I discovered that Paolo is friends with a member of the group who alerted him to my sharing the video... The world is such a small place, after all 😃 P.S. I love when people practice their instrument (without amplifiers) in a large park/green area.

[@dwis5489]

I'm crying 🥲🥲 thank you. It's so meaningful to me 🥲

[@anynamegamer-su6mk]

I have no idea what this is but I love this cover.

[@shadowking2926]

Man, this gives me all the nostalgia. Thanks for a wonderful (if unintentional) birthday gift.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Happy birthday!

[@gracio1231]

so soothin n peaceful n serene ❤️👏

[@doctor_vit]

And imagine that while you were recording this video, Totoro was sitting nearby and quietly played along

[@vincentmusic09]

This is what i SHOULD be listening to when i go to sleep

[@InstrumentManiac]

Glad to hear! It's part of a relaxing playlist I made with no talking :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioizdWp6f8R8ldE&ab_channel=InstrumentManiac

[@LeScarletSinger2]

Ah, yes. The theme to my favorite Ghibli Movie arranged so beautifully.

[@InstrumentManiac]

It's such a beautiful composition!

[@mayoroicjre]

Beautiful song to be released on my birthday, thank you

[@InstrumentManiac]

Happy birthday!

[@putrirahayu714]

This is very beautiful!!!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@joeyhilliard5323]

20 seconds in and I'm already crying

[@joeyhilliard5323]

When he goes down an octave 😫

[@joeyhilliard5323]

THE KEY CHANGE 🤩

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thanks Joey!

[@debbiescott3452]

Beautiful song and a very talented flutist! With a regular old flute!! Great job!!

[@clANAnett]

saw the movie a few weeks ago for the first time and loved it! the theme is so catchy and this arrangement is v beautiful! 🥺💕 nice job you two! 😌🎶

[@InstrumentManiac]

All of his movies are so good!! Thank u qween 🥺👉👈❤️

[@drewfoust8390]

As a die-hard Ghibli fan, this brings me great joy! Beautiful arrangement, as always.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thank you very much!

[@JohnnyMcJim]

Your flute playing is always absolutely Gucci

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thank you Johnny!

[@JordanMooreMusic]

Absolutely beautiful playing from both of you! Such a refreshing arrangement to listen to.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Ahh thank you Jordan!

[@bagasprasetya4514]

So peacefull ❤

[@ghilardiperez8962]

Muy hermosa melodia . Felicidades. Dios te bendiga

[@ezkillionaire3276]

this is so good Luke... i love Totoro!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thank you EZ!!

[@Mr.WonderJames]

I've Been Waiting For This

[@AltriToni]

I love Totoro 😍 very good and great job!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thank you! 😄

[@GWShunter]

I have absolutely no idea how I missed this in my subs or notifications the first time around but this is a fantastic cover. Totoro was the first movie I ever watched and of course was my gateway into japanese pop culture, and the soundtrack is tattooed into my subconscious. Amazing work! .......any chance of a Catbus theme cover?

[@InstrumentManiac]

Aw thanks! Yeah unfortunately KZbin isn't always the most reliable. Totoro is a fantastic movie with great music so I'll probably do catbus at some point too :)

[@chimebirdplayer3327]

Great idea going into Studio Ghibli; my mother loved Japan (not like an "Anime Fanatic" would; my mother had a genuine appreciation for Japan and Japanese Culture), and she also loved Studio Ghibli (and she also understood the films). I hope that Hayao Miyazaki himself gets to see this video. For your next song, I'd suggest "Hey Let's Go" - the opening theme for "My Neighbor Totoro".

[@InstrumentManiac]

Great suggestion!

[@flutechannel]

Nice job!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thank you!

[@carlitos5336]

Me encanta!!! Muy relajante.

[@dcallan812]

very peaceful.👍👍

[@brandonskelton]

Love it! 😊

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thanks! 😊

[@sirrliv]

Lovely song! Really hope it doesn't get copyright claimed like happened to Grissini Project

[@InstrumentManiac]

It already did! But it's a revenue split so it's all good in my book ^_^

[@bluecollarden]

Well look at that, my boy also loves Totoro! I really want to tease you and say that you're pandering to my son at this point 😂

[@InstrumentManiac]

Haha he's got good taste in music!

[@MasalaYLegoStopMotion]

隣のトトロ♪

[@sativumcoalho3920]

Such a peaceful melody 🎶 Are those real locations or green screen?

[@That1LucaGuy]

Read the description

[@InstrumentManiac]

Real location! Forest in southern Minnesota :)
