[@rinackerman3851]

***** did you expect to be listening to this as you exercised? smfh.

[@bambam-vk1st]

+Rin Ackerman seriously lol

[@alessandropiazzi6606]

+nicholasdyee please, PLEASE, share the sheet music with us! Everyone would pay for it!

[@ru406]

Rin Ackerman I heartily agree!

[@animeheartofpassion]

the Mononoke theme was created for the cello imo, there isn't a single cello cover that i didn't love! Thank you for this

[@thomasrico1236]

It's beauty! That Princess Mononoke part was really deep using the cello's tones, love it so much! And continue it with Howl's Moving Castle, perfect. Just cant stop play it more, and more. Thank you for made this awesome medley!

[@nicholasdyee]

***** Shawn did an amazing job with the arrangement! Thanks so much for watching :)

[@xoxCelinexox]

this connects with me on a spiritual level

[@yyinsdiary4245]

Every time see how people play their cello so "relaxy", and im like how they do it!!! My shoulder always tense when playing it, and my teacher always call me to relax, after relax for 1min, my shoulder start to tense again.. But i still a beginner tho!! Now my goal is to learn my cello until i can play these songs 😍

[@MysteriousxMusician]

Hello ! :) Try to play in front of a mirror and see what's going wrong with the shoulder position so that you can understand how it is supposed to be and relax more. Good luck ^^

[@maspampers]

keep it up

[@ALOHAMARA2012]

It goes away with time lol

[@enya6224]

Jesslyn Lee im the same but ive been playing cello for several years and it's becoming really annoying for me. i find it hard to play in an orchestra where pieces can be minutes long cause my arm aches and i have to secretly rest it during a performance. i really hope you improve your bowing arm because it will sound alooot more smoother and you'll find playing soo much easier. good luck!

[@izl3962]

Jesslyn Lee Hey this was the same for me when I first started learning violin a few years ago (violin's obv not that hard for the shoulder but) my arm would tense up badly when I was really nervous, but after a few years, I absolutely love playing my violin. I've been playing for almost 3 years now. The sound is so relaxing and beautiful, so I relax more bc I'm not nervous.. So like.. keep your focus on the beautiful sound and sway with the music to calm your nerves.. I'd really love to learn the cello in the future, that's my goal in life for now :) I hope this helped!

[@JamesLStapleton]

Stringed instruments are probably the most beautiful. Which totally includes the piano.

[@TheCaptain008]

each transition is so clean, one could mistake this for one song. Great job guys.

[@kanoest]

As someone who grew up with Studio Ghibli film, this is literally an utter perfection. Thank you for making this cover. You guys are brilliant.

[@rymaru2138]

I didn't even know what the first song was, but when you guys started playing I almost teared up. Totoro was a very happy part of my childhood. Thanks for including that theme. It goes to show what an impact music has on us.

[@thefroggalthatlikesplants2794]

The Wind Rises is a very good but sad movie, you should totally check it out.

[@_andrevieira_]

its amazing how you do this in one take. respect.

[@ADionisio]

For you to play music from Studio Ghibli you get an extra brownie point from me, haha! Simply Beautiful!!

[@nicholasdyee]

A Dionisio Haha thanks a bunch :) glad that other Studio Ghibli fans are seeing this!

[@atlas9490]

this made me cry so much:,) beautifully played!!! ♡ edit: came back five years later and i am full on sobbing now oh god

[@ChickenCatzz]

After graduating from high school just a month ago, I stopped playing the cello to focus on other busy things in my life. I had actually played cello for only a year and the violin the year before in orchestra. Within that time I've contemplated on which instrument I should stick to. Listening to your amazing covers, I've definitely made my choice.

[@jasminpasia4587]

MY HEART CANNOT GRASP THE NOSTALGIA I FEEL RIGHT NOW

[@JO-mg6xc]

These two are the Simon and Garfunkel of classic music. I hope to see you in Carnegie Hall

[@zoe.melina]

Spirited Away always hits me with nostalgia. I watched it almost every day for a year as a kid because I love it so much.

[@FaZeClAnFail-SlitherioAgarioan]

OH THE MEMORIES AND SHIVERS OF STUDIO GHIBLI

[@taylorryan7775]

Spirited away and Howl's moving castle made me so nostalgic

[@Professor_Kaas]

2 most beautiful instruments in one performance.

[@LONEWOLF_FYCN]

I almost cried when they played Princess Mononoke

[@chenjenny191]

Nicholas Yee is an outstanding cellist! From this video you'll find out his skill just outweigh the guitarist. And not to be surprised, his other recordings prove it!

[@chloe-ez6ff]

THE HANGING TOTORO ON THE GUITAR!!!!! 😩😩😩

[@ck88777]

The nostalgia from my childhood is strong

[@seje1405]

IT REALLY DESERVES MUCH MORE VIEWS. PLAYING SO WELL. TOTORO'S STROKE IMPRESSED

[@taylorhoff8976]

YEESSSSSS HOWLS MOVING CASTLE!!!

[@gillian7662]

Princess Mononoke was perfection :) I play cello and you really inspire me to make my own arrangements and just have a good time with other musicians. The cello is so versatile and I'm just now realizing all the amazing possibilities. Beautiful music!

[@vterencio12]

Holy crap! There's no words to describe what I felt when I heard theses sounds

[@elizabeth9841]

The Merry-Go-Round of Life rendition was really nice

[@IsabelMakesMusic]

I never thought cello and guitar could sound that good together

[@JoeNoon]

Nick, I haven't commented for 3 years, and was pleasantly surprised - don't take this the wrong way! - how refined your musical abilities were becoming. Welcome to Shawn.

[@leahburleson307]

Gorgeous arrangement!! I’m a cellist and my husband plays classical guitar, and I think we’re going to give this a shot! Thank you for posting the sheet music 😊

[@fierysakura]

Aww. I just found this video. A minute in and I'm on the verge of tears. Beautifully played. :D

[@nicholasdyee]

Alyce Namae We're so glad you enjoyed this, thanks so much for watching!

[@oceanearnoux4757]

Studio Ghibli creates the best songs... and you play them very well! Well done guys, I love what you did!

[@DivyaSood162]

Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle's songs always give me such nostalgia

[@nancyn8324]

This is awesome! So beautifully played! My son plays both classical guitar and cello, he is thinking about making a combined video of himself playing a duo. I am going to send him this. Merry Go Round of Life is my favorite!

[@nicholasdyee]

That’s so lovely! 😊

[@tabaxi]

i've watched this about six times and every single time the first few notes of the spirited away theme play i immediately start sobbing like a baby

[@maddiejohnson2134]

I've dead ass just been listening to this non stop. Wish this cover was on an album or something so I could buy a vinyl version of it

[@Kittywolf13]

WOW... hearing the mononoke track on the cello was beautiful!

[@valeratkanta2398]

Wowwwwww.. cello is great.. guitar is grest.. my ears feel honored

[@haleyw9366]

[@NT-yk6gk]

[@NT-yk6gk]

[@arisealy1009]

This is the most beautiful guitar I’ve ever heard

[@rileywageman5184]

Late to the show by 4 years but i love how you started with wind rises. Its my favorite ghibli film and i feel its under appreciated. Then again it has quite the competition. I love studio ghibli.

[@reedbej4822]

If only I had a cello bud who'd want to play this with me. Awesome work guys I love it!!

[@adamadkins9527]

I'd gladly play with any willing guitarist.

[@mangomountain13]

as a picky cellist, i always hear what i want from your performances... the effort you've put into playing music and how you've improved is so admirable

[@ThereseEtoka]

I LOVE the Studio Ghibli films, so this medley was great. I've been waiting for someone to do this and you guys did an amazing job!

[@nicholasdyee]

MusicalTherese We love the films too and we've been wanting to record this for a while :) There are so many great Ghibli medleys out there already though. I'm going to watch The Wind Rises tonight haha.

[@jaydiev7705]

Ugh... The Spirited Away version hit me in the feels. It was the first type of any anime themed thing I came in contact with. It has basically helped form me into what and who I am now, it introduced me to the world of anime.... I am and always be forever grateful for it

[@lt3story920]

Couldn't help but smile throughout the entire video. You guys played beautifully

[@kenzeytracy4764]

This is astounding. I'm a fan of Studio Ghibli and I love your playing and arrangements. This video was made for me. I play cello and can't get enough of your beautiful sound. You inspire. Thank you.

[@Fantasy38294]

My god..... I just love this... thanks you for playing this and i'll always support you

[@michology0vol]

Next Miyazaki movie released around 2019 - 2020. Finally got a reason to live lol

[@matthewwilliams6788]

Though I am looking forward to his new film, I feel like The Wind Rises was a perfect final movie for him. I felt like Jiro and Capronne were both representations of Miyazaki, at the beginning and the end of his career. The entire film was him looking back on his life, as if he could speak to his old self through a dream, somberly and lovingly waiting for his younger self to catch up to him at the end of his career. I also think it represents how Miyazaki became the kind of person he idolized in his earlier years. When Capronne takes Jiro back to his house after everything is concluded, is simply representative of Miyazaki moving into retirement, simply living out the rest of his days. For me, The Wind Rises was the perfect movie for him to say goodbye to us, but nonetheless, I am glad he is making another film.

[@michology0vol]

I found this at a Ghibli festival in my country, tho i forgot who told that.

[@ferdinandmiles2979]

How Do You Live is the title of the new masterpiece by Hayao Miyazaki

[@thatoneepicenealex7432]

well, the new movie was uh. smth.

[@emilycobb9875]

I'm kind of sad that Nausicaa wasn't in this. In my opinion it is one of the best Miazaki films, and the music fits so perfectly with it. The music is breathtaking in that movie. Really good job though, you are both really talented.

[@gladysgracecortes3145]

my two favorite string instruments plus GHIBLI

[@ferdinanddiaz7021]

I feel the song and had me tear up this is graceful, i can feel its meaning, it relaxes me , the sadness in it the happy moments in it, the power , the strength ... I dont know but its all in this song sorrow despair pain joy happiness light...

[@nicholasdyee]

Kazuha Shin I really appreciate your comment :) I find the music in these movies very touching as well!

[@parkmoon9557]

thanks guys it was amazing moment "I was fly so where I don't where but it was sweet "God bless you guys 😄

[@tabithamcclelland3401]
