When I was about 9, I would watch this movie every day, and every day, I'd cry at the end--like, *hysterically* cry. As a kid, I couldn't explain what made me cry. My parents decided it best to give me a break from it for awhile, so I didn't watch it for years. Nowadays, I still cry while watching it. But now I understand why I cry. Thank you, Studio Ghibli, for letting me feel such profound emotions

The nostalgia of this music hits me so much. The feeling that you want to go back to your childhood, where nothing happens and filled with happiness. The time when your life doesn't have any problems.. I remember i watched this movie when i was 4/5 years old on TV, and love Haku so much! I never knew the name of the Movie, and was really sad that i even forgot the name of the characters. But i always remember the time when Chihiro is crying while eating Onigiri, the train scene, and the scene where Chihiro's parents turned into pigs. That scene- literally made me scared as a kid. But one time, an animated short film was in my recommendations. It's about Chihiro and Haku met together, and i was happy because i found the name of my most favorite movie of all time! I re-watch Spirited Away for the second time and cried all the way. And now i always re-watch Spirited Away once a year. Seriously, i never get bored of the movie. It's just so peaceful, and calming. To anyone reading this, i wish you all healthy and happy. It's kind of sad that we all should stay in house and cannot go anywhere. But it gives me time to think that life isn't enough without new things and adventures outside. While hearing this music, maybe some of you are now angry, sad, or maybe just normal. But i just want to say that you should never give up on your life problems. You can always cry. And it is not a sign that you are weak, it is a sign that you are a human. You have feelings. Always remember your loved ones. Remember the good times in your life. Maybe things are not what you expect to be, but life isn't always good. The greatest teacher of your life is learning from the past and fix it. You can always take a break from your problems, but never give up! It's your life isn't it? It's you who decide what's next. Just, keep moving forward, okay? Never look back to your sad pasts. Promise? Promise. P.S, i cried reading all the sad comments while the music is playing (╥_╥)

Rizky Putra The most heartbreaking part of the movie because you know they won't ever see each other again. When chihiro let's go of his hand he just stays there frozen for a second, and I can only imagine it's because he let someone he loved go. When I first watched that scene I remember feeling so so sad, it didn't even happen to me but I still felt a deep ache right in my heart.

[@OneRadicalDreamer]

You might not like it, but if you're willing to change you have to accept that you'll have to shed your old skin and not look back for a while. You have to learn new skills, emotionally react differently, get to know different people and proactively seek opportunities you normally would never have imagined. It means coming up with multiple solutions to the problems in front of you and accepting responsibility for the good or bad that comes of it. I know I can't fully understood your situation, but I sincerely hope you find a way out into a life that is uniquely and beautifully yours young internet stranger.

This song was one of the 3 we played at the funeral service of my partner last year. Its calm, beautiful, relaxing, at times energetic and bubbly, at times silent and deep, and the very embodyment of serenity. It calms me down and makes me think of you. Makes me remember us, gives me time to run my thoughts over familiar scenes...to remember their shape. To remember these moments of serenity, where nothing mattered except for us. Almost one year later, and I still listen to it. A reminder of the most beautiful pictures of us laying on your bed, watching Spirited Away. It was the last movie we watched together, just a couple of days before you passed. But it also tears into my heart, and reminds me that you are no longer physically here. Reminds me of your funeral. And the pain and desperation. During those times, the world becomes small, and I dont remember my own name. But looking at our pictures, your green eyes, our time together, reminds me of what we had, of what is still in my heart. You are never truly gone, only in the next room. I miss you more than words could ever describe. Miss your hugs, your dadjokes, your smell, your positivity, and the calm serenity when we were together. Where nothing else mattered, except for us. I will find my way home, to you. My best friend, my love, my partner. Dein Knuddel.

That we will always hold as memories.

So I’d just put this on every night before I went to bed during high school (these were pre-Netflix times). And then during the summer when I was with my first (and possibly the only) love, we’d just lay around in my room, talking and laughing with this movie just playing in the background. It’s been almost 12 years and it hurts to admit that I still think about her and those summer memories til this day. Obviously I loved, or at least tried to replicate that idea of “love” with other girls all in-between. However I don’t think I’ve ever met any other person who can somehow take a song from a movie that I haven’t watched in a decade (probably because I’m avoiding it like a lil bish) and just encapsulate it with a memory that evokes such strong, vivid emotions. I can’t help but to wonder if she too has her tiny share of nostalgia that also hits her unexpectedly on a Wednesday afternoon like the glacial rush you get when your first jump into the ocean. And despite however much distance time has put between us, we still can share this brief moment where we both actually remember how it felt to be that happy and that in love. Or maybe not, maybe I’m the only one. Which probably explains why I decided to even share to the world something I’ve kept to myself all these years. Oddly enough, I feel a bit better.

[@ananiko2057]

Its hard not to get emotional while listening to this song, it reminds me of every time i have cried while watching this movie. This movie is incredibly sacred and this song could not be more perfect. No one but us Hayao Miyazaki fans can truly appreciate this song.

My favorite Ghibli movie is Castle in the Sky but this one isn’t far behind. Chihiro Ogino is so awesome!

[@aoi3087]

100% agree

[@lenihaylett4674]

i watched this film last night and i am speechless, shocked and amazed. i've heard people saying it was good and i thought its not for me but seriously this is a work of out rather than a normal movie.

[@Jay-mj7ws]

this song means so much. I listened to this song when I had to say goodbye to my best friend at the airport. I listened to this as I watched his plane take off for London. This song made me think of when Chihiro said goodbye to Haku, her best friend. I thought "I'll see him again, I just know it" This song has brought me comfort when I miss him because I know that I'll see him again soon.

[@aditwratsangka4014]

That taste of bittersweet beautiful sadness...

[@straubrey9480]

Everytime time I listen to songs made by ghibli, I remember the days when I used to sit at home with my old mini dvd player where I used to watch ghibli films. It's such a nostalgic feeling even though the memories are vague. But I'm glad I was able to experience the ride with all of you. The songs and the animation will always be my treasure to keep until I grow old. Thanks Ghibli for such a wonderful ride, I'll be expecting more to come.

[@thislilkitchenmaid]

This song sweetly reminds me of the time a little over a year ago when my mother and I were in the hospital. She had a blood clot and I had to help her while we were there, and I had this song playing repeatedly a majority of the time. :)

[@solkai7575]

If I could sum this song up in three words it would be “take me back”. Listening to this I feel so nostalgic but I don’t know why. On one side I almost feel like I was Chihiro and experienced everything for real and if I close my eyes I can see the calm ocean and clouds in the spirit world floating. But I think this mainly reminds me of my childhood when everything was bright and exciting and life was full of endless possibilities. I wish it was still like that. I wish I could see life as an adventure as I did when I first watched this movie.

[@miriclelikes_foood921]

this has been my favorite movie since i was 2. it's been my favorite for 16 years and it's never changed it makes me cry everytime i hear it or watch. im crying right now. I have and always will love you Spirited Away!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Leefyy08]

I should've studying Science and History for tomorrow final semester exam. And yet here I am, crying while listening to this song. I don't want to leave the life that I have right now. I'm so stressed out right now. I don't know what's my next move. I don't want to leave. I don't want to leave. I don't want to fail. I just need a little more time. I'm not ready for it. I just want to turn back time. Studio Ghibli, thank you for creating a comfort movie for me. I really thankful. Thank you. 10 January 2024

Hey man I don’t know if anyone’s told you but I’m rooting for you please stay with us on earth just a little longer that’s all I’m asking

[@Leefyy08]

@@cozy7765 I'm not planning to kms, I'm just want to get out this emotions as fast as possible before it gets worse

[@asymptotic195]

Everyone has their own opinion and a lot of parts of the movie are emotional but I think that the most emotional part of the movie is when Chihiro has just gotten back from seeing the pigpens and she is eating the rice cake and then she just breaks down. I think this really shows how horrible the situation is for her and how scared and sad she is. Chihiro really just wants her parents and her normal life back. That scene gives the audience a glimpse of Chihiro's pain. The scene where Kohaku and Chihiro have to separate is sad too, but its a little more hopeful, as if they both hope they will see each other again. If you think that Kohaku and Chihiro's separation is the saddest part, then I totally respect that but I have a different opinion. This music made me think of that scene :'(

[@drusillakhundrakpam3249]

When you typed kohaku instead of haku , that made me cry even more lol

[@giolas2]

I watched this the first time when I was 4 years old. It’s really a one in it’s kind movie because it can affect you and emotional no matter your age, it’s good every time.

[@tonyvlachosfan]

[@paulrelloso188]

theres not many things more beautiful than this... But in any case, the most beautiful piece of music i've ever heard, is from studio ghibli... There is nothing more beautiful than this... magical, emotional, deep and epic at the same time. Beautiful, perfect, I can't describe this with words. This society we live in right now is full of darkness, drugs, alcohol and people throwing away their lives without even being conscious about it... But this music just reminds me to keep going... not to stop. Life will become bright again, I really don't have so many high hopes, but definetly, studio ghibli has saved my life. Theres no music that has made me shed tears ever, until I discovered studio ghibli. Astonishing. I wish the best life to everyone listening to this. Quit alcohol, quit drugs, quit everything that can destroy your life. And live loving, caring, being nice... enjoy nature... enjoy life.

[@a.p4703]

half of the comments are emotional af and i'm just here saying that this song brings me so much memories , I love it sm .

[@mickeygijzen5847]

12 people have no idea what good quality music is

[@sirmoros8951]

That is seriously untrue. Good quality music does not have to be only from one kind of genre of music. You and others have different opinions you know.

[@mickeygijzen5847]

+Maximilian Tay I'm not saying that this particular genre is good. A good quality song is a song with balance in sound, complex in a way you can find your way through a normal sized maze, and the right set of tones will take part of it too. This could be anything else but classical music.

[@kaislaketonen3423]

Forever and ever my favourite movie!! It makes me always think back to the time when I was a child and how this movie helped me to get trough life!!!

[@TheBlissOfStories]

I find myself coming back to this song all the time. It invokes such profound emotions in me and I need that. I listen to this in times of sadness, anger, comfort, joy, or when I’m just simply taking a drive. Miyazaki knows how to get at my core with all things in his movies but this one has a special place in my heart. I watched this when I was 6 or 7 and it left the greatest impression on me. This song reminds me of the vulnerable child in me that I want to keep. Thanks Miyazaki

[@a_guy_263]

i used to watch this movie every day, and i parents would always tell me to stop watching it, and then i finally decided to have a little break, when i saw this again, i instantly watched through the whole thing, and now im obssesed with it again, haha.

[@jaeey_1688]

This song reminds me of my childhood. When everything was okay, when all my family was still here. My mom, dad, and brother would watch Studio Ghibli movies. When I hear this I think about how I took my childhood for granted; I just wanted to grow up. I now look back at the small moments like having a fun family game night while we had Spirited Away playing in the background. I miss you Tyler, Ma, Grandma, Pawpaw, Brandon, Pops, and Nanny Thank you for making every second of my childhood fun and memorable. ❤️

To whoever gets to read this, you are probably dealing with something right now but just know that no matter what you will be alright music is the key to the soul and the only way to truly find yourself is through music, think about we all went through an emo phase 😂, and what can we say except man I really love My Chemical Romance, we all go through a phase where we want to fit it in so we listen to rap or whatever is trending even if we don't understand what they are saying, my best advice is to stay to true to you don't let anyone bring you down no matter what (even if they sit on you) pick yourself up and take a moment to be thankful for everything that you have accomplished

If you're looking for the exact version in this video, I think I can help you out! It's from the album "Relaxing Piano - Hayao Miyazaki Collection" (www.amazon.com/Relaxing-Piano-Hayao-Miyazaki-Collection/dp/B0047C1KHO/ref=sr_1_3?s=dmusic&ie=UTF8&qid=1518278207&sr=1-3-mp3-albums-bar-strip-0&keywords=Relaxing+Piano ). I love it, and I wanted fo find the sheet music myself, so I found this site: home.u02.itscom.net/iyasi/0english/index2_e.html . It's the homepage of Makiko Hirohashi, who did the arrangements for this album (according to www.della.co.jp/en/item/item_detail.html?product_id=1153 ). You can buy the PDFs for 5$ a piece by sending her an email and pay via PayPal (home.u02.itscom.net/iyasi/0english/3%20a%20sheet%20of%20music/e_index.html ).
