My favorite ending from all Studio Ghibli movies is from Princess Mononoke, the clear colourful prairies marking the future peaceful days is so apreciated on the story 😊, the ending of The Firebird Suite from Fantasia 2000 (Disney) can be similar, altough in Princess Mononoke the story takes on the humanity's sins (specially greed, which seems to be the most present one nowadays...) and it's effect on nature, then it shows nature's power of always reversing our most terrible mistakes.

Even Hisaishi-san recently played the song in honor to Australia's wildfire victims. It shows how kind he is 😊

I usually prefer pieces with better introductions, but in this case I think the smoothness and softness of this intro can be good as well. My favorite part is the crescendo chords into the new section, which on the orchestra sounds amazing.

As I promised on my social media, here is the final version of the cover 😊

I didn't knew this piece yet, but as soon as I heard it, it became clear I had to study it so I could play and have fun with it's melody, which is incredibly btw, how can he make music that can be both tender, softy, sognante(dreamy), and then use some more sad passages O.o

It felt like I was dreaming most of the song 😌 Altough the meaning is atually more sad if you look into his inspiration on the song.
