It was actually the perfect song choice seeing as howl’s moving castle is my favourite Ghibli movie and i share the protagonists name haha. Thanks for the lovely performance!

    My friend played this on a grand piano during a talent show at our school. She's really small (only like 5 feet or sth) and she went on stage, looked at the audience and then took off her shoes, telling everyone that she can't play like this. She then made the whole piano shake and move under her hands. And she really did great. It was magical. The whole room was silent for 10 minutes or so. One of my best moments in life

    I just started playing piano a few months ago. I always asked my parents to let me get a piano and let me learn how to play, however I was always doing other things like dance and violin classes, so I never got the chance. Over quarantine my grandpa actually and an old keyboard that still worked perfectly and was somehow even sounded perfect. So I put it in my room and I just teach myself off of UA-cam tutorials, so I get recommended a lot of piano videos lmao. I found this one in my recommended and I’m entirely entranced by the beauty of it. You played it so perfectly and I’m so inspired by you, just seeing the way that people look and gasp in awe is a really cool thing. I hope that in the future I will be able to play as good as you, and inspire others like you have for me. I truly thank you for this and it has definitely made me want to continue my journey of learning this beautiful instrument :)
