I am playing this music every morning welcoming my kindergarten students to classroom. The music brings calmness as they enter and play quietly waiting for class to begin. Thank you.

I found this 3 almost 4 years ago in my darkest days, a NICU hoping my daughter would live... this playing in the background faintly, between beeps and bells of her machines, today I helped her get her Jammies on to this and have put her little sister to sleep with it... thank you for being the peace in my life.... eternally grateful xox

There is something so amazing about the songs in all the studio ghibli films, something which cannot be explained by words, but rather by the incredible feelings you get from listening to them.

[narrayanraamsankar]

Is it just me or does anyone else also feel super emotional with a sad undertone when listening to these masterpieces? It's definitely relaxing, but for some reason, this music weighs down on my chest.

[manateelover]

Hello fellow traveler, I am sending good wishes. May you achieve whatever you are working towards. :)

[szysesy]

Joe composed so many masterpieces, he's definitely one of the greatest musicians in 21st century.

Growing up in an Asian household, Ghibli movies were bigger than Disney to me. I was often bullied for referencing Totoro or Spirited Away, but I still look back on those films and the music very fondly. Things weren't great back then, but I was really happy. This music makes me happy :)

several years ago, when I was a young teen (approaching a decade ago, jeez), i got my braces on, and I was in so much pain that I couldn't sleep. I found this video and it was the only thing that I could sleep to for weeks. i was devastated when the video disappeared and my heart SOARED when it was re-uploaded. now anytime I can't sleep, I play this. filled with comfort instantly, every time. now when I hear the original music, I can't help but think of these beautiful piano covers. thank you ❤️❤️

The current phase in my life is rather...exhausting. I'm studying 24/7 for med school. I still have 1, 5 years to go, but looking back ghibli music has accompanied through so many years... sometimes i think without this music, i would have not made it throughout the years because it gets lonely pretty fast living like this... This music makes me feel less alone and takes me to a place where my soul can rest a little... even when I'm studying. Hahaha.

I downloaded this 4 years ago and it's helped me fall asleep in so many places far away from home, and it's always worked, it's so special to me <3

A devastating earthquake struck the city where I live. As the city collapsed, my soul took a deep blow. I listen to this playlist to get over this trauma and it helps me

[udz]

As a child I could not understand Japanese cartoons, they looked so odd from a western perspective and they were so different from Disney. As an Adult I love the difference and their story lines, so beautiful!

[Mochi_AuLait]

My friend forced me to listen to this because he said that this is a masterpiece, and I'm glad he forced me to listen to this amazing thing

[ninaeliasoph]

Who is the pianist? Who did the arrangements for piano? These are the best performances of these pieces I've ever heard! They're gentle, or stormy, or deep, or feathery light, or fierce--the tone is a miracle of variation!

[emilyyue]

To me, this feels like taking a lazy midday nap on a sunny but mild spring day, wrapped up in cozy blanket while cuddling with a loved one

[NewFireplace_]

Your soul is a masterpiece in the making, sculpted by life's trials and triumphs. Embrace its imperfections, for they are what make you truly beautiful.

[jeanineadler]

I love these specific versions. It was pretty therapeutic to me when the pandemic started but I listen until today

[Kichiro]

i hope even if it’s just 1 single person that sees this, that they have an amazing day and an even better future!

[maxali]

I used to listen to this all the time way back in high school almost 6 years ago studying for my IB exams. Today I stumbled upon it again for the first time since graduating high school while studying for my final semester of college. The nostalgia of this playlist almost has me in tears. I hope this shows just how impactful music has on the world <3

This exact collection was played for both my boys as babies. It relaxed both of them so much and now listening to this I feel like I can hold them in my arms again as tiny babies 🥲 lovely happy memories
