I finally realized why this movie is so amazing, It is just a movie of two girls enjoying time with kind and loving creature enjoying the world together. There is no protagonist or antagonist, or any horrible events that cause you to worry too much. You just enjoy Totoro and the girls together. Truly an amazing movie.
This is like feeling depressed for such a long time, that you forgot what emotions are... And then something big in your life happens that erases that depression and you finally feel the joy and happiness in your life you've always missed again.
It is, and for me it's not even the whole piece, it's that small, simple sequence of notes that no matter how it's played just always evokes that feeling of emotionally waking up. So much to learn in music like this.
You have to remember though that you can’t just wait for something to happen in your life to get rid of your depression. You have to do things yourself and take steps towards it. It could take some time but is very worth it in the end
Those little girls in this movie and father too went through a sad time. Worrying about their mother. Tortoro comes and helps the children. The scene when growing the trees made me tear up. And I'm a big guy but this scene always gets me. Because it's so beautiful. The gentle creature that is tortoro and the little girls that sorta look up to him. This movie needs to be brought back. Now I didn't watch in the credits but the mom does get better and looks like the two girls have siblings. This movie is beautiful.
Feels incoming So, when I was a little kid, my mother got me into Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and Ponyo. I loved this movie as a kid and I would watch it almost every other week. It was when I turned about 10 that I forgot about the movie. Now, about a year ago I had a dream about this movie. I woke up and started crying from nostalgia, thinking about my childhood, this movie, and everything came back so suddenly. I had to stay up all night to find this song, and when I did I cried. To this day, I still cry everytime I hear this song. If you are still here, thank you, it means a lot. Always keep your childhood close to you.
Wolfeasy Hey,I should thanking you for make my day better after this. I was hooked for the first time when I was watching the walking castle (I forgot) recommended by my great grandfather who also watch the older movie like the grave of fireflies,Spirited Away and Kiki Delivery Service. Now I'm undergoing to living alone since my parents already giving a green light to make sure I'm gonna be fine after all. And god how I watched your comment invoked so many feeling and memories about how's our childhood is simple back then.Playing Pokémon Platinum with my Torterra at level 70 and my trustees Gardevoir who also fought with me at 6 Elite,and so many great cartoon and anime back then too.Gundam Wing is lit too. Then,Ghibli Studio came around and me and my great grandfather watched this from morning till noon and shared the laughs together. I'm sure I will keep my childhood close to my heart because I just want to enjoys it once more and you better enjoyed it too. May the wind guide you,my bro.
As a Japanese person, this is breathtaking. Every time I hear this composition, I weep because it's an incredibly wonderful piece. Music is one of the only things that can make me feel a roller coaster of emotions. I first saw this movie when I was three, and it is still to this day the most beautiful film I've ever seen. I'm proud to be Japanese. I'm proud to live in Yokohama. Miyazaki is a wonderful man.
i remember the first time i watched totoro, the most memorable part for me was when totoro jumped to hear the sounds of water droplets on his umbrella.... idk why i remembered that the most, but i just did.
I think i know now why I cry when hearing Path of the Wind. It's because of the loss of our childhood. The loss of imagination, of being carefree, of not worrying about heartbreak, bills, jobs, etc. We, even at our worst moments, were just full of life and youth. Adulthood changes everything and I mourn for those lost days. But, we still have the Path of the Wind to bring us back to our younger days.
You're happy because the film is so damn beautiful and the music is extremely immersive, yet you're sad because you wish you had a childhood even HALF as good and wondrous as the story of My Neighbor Totoro (and quite possibly, the rest of us probably feel the same).
Sometimes i get jealous at mei and satsuki, Because even though they have it rough they still have the power to be happy and smile, And having a big friendly giant that cares for you seems amazing though I didn't even knew that this movie even exist when i was a child so I didn't had this in my childhood, And when i watched it earlier I couldn't stop crying for some reason, I can feel the nostalgia even though I haven't watched it before..
Same here ! I asked my sister if she saw My Neighbor Totoro before but she isn’t sure. Possibly I must’ve watched this a few times at least. Totoro reminds me of Appa from Avatar even though I’ve never seen the movie. They both seem like gentle creatures. My Neighbor Totoro somehow reminds me of Mulan in a way even though they are pretty much the exact opposite.
You can be like Satsuki and Mei, Miyazaki wanted to show how children and adults overall can deal with rough times like these, and see the beauty in life, and what there is it live for 😊
Ashley Chan I'm the same author as the comment. The reason why I said this is because Japanese society has increasingly been Westernized, so that Japanese cultural expressions from its past, like music, appear less and less. For instance, a good portion of recent anime has shown a tendency to emphasize Rock music and use settings that don't have anything to do with Japan.
Word. Watching this movie over and over as a kid really made the rural country life of Japan seem particularly appealing. It showed so many drastic and subtle cultural differences we have in a really elegant way.
I'm always curious who the hell dislikes videos on youtube that seemingly have no reason to be disliked. Are there people who just dislike every video they see?
I know my comment will get lost in the depths of the thousand stories other people have decided to share, moved by this piece, but that's what makes me want to share mine. This movie has played an extremely important role in my childhood. Ever since my dad introduced it to me and my little sister, one far summer evening, we both immediately fell in love with it. We watched it during lunch or dinner, whenever we were in the car, every time we were on a holiday. We used to pretend to be Satsuki and Mei looking for Totoro in the woods of our aunt's house. I turn 18 in a few months and right now it's really hard for me to see this movie again. Just hearing the voice of the two little girls brings me back to the smiles we had, the adventures we lived, all the places we have explored and the ones we haven't. But most of all it breaks me because I miss how things used to be and how my family overall was much happier. Even though my sister is now almost 15, I still tend to take care of her as Satsuki does for Mei, and I believe that despite the years passing she is and will always be the only costant in my life. This music is the anthem of my childhood: it makes me think that although I am the one who leads the way, she is my light and I could never walk this path without her.
Your story made me smile. After all, when I was little, I also tried to find something mysterious and amazing. And I still believe that there is something amazing that people have not yet been able to find. God created what we can see, and there is what he has closed from us. Who knows, maybe somewhere in the forest there lives a big and kind animal, which we have not met before.
@@williamrobert2042 Thank you so much for this beautiful comment. It filled my heart with joy and hope and got me tear up a little. You're right, and maybe one day we'll discover that all the things we have dreamed about are real. Maybe one day.
When you grow up, tired of life, just sit down and rewatch studio ghibli's film. You will cry and very grateful cuz those films are fucking pretty. You will remember how beautiful your childhood is. I'm 15 and i am so grateful that i have watched ghibli's since i was 5. What a beautiful memory
My Neighbour Totoro was the first studio ghibli movie I ever watched, and as a kid who preferred more action packed stuff, most of the movie flew over my head. I adored the catbus scenes, sure, and I was always paying attention when totoro was on screen, but the rest sort of... fuzzed our to me. So when I revisited it recently.... boy, totoro hits different. I lost my dad about a year ago to cancer, and seeing those little girls experience the emotions that I experienced (what if they never come home?)... ghibli has a very real way of showing these things. I’m glad that they got their happy ending.
Sad incoming When i was a child i watched this movie like no tomorrow, i knew it by memory and always watched it with my family, mostly my father. I have to tell tho, my mother and father werent a happy marriage but my father always got me presents to make me not pay attention to that. My father bought some totoro limited editon figurines straight from japan and i didnt know why but he hid them, i knew where thwy were but i didnt play with them because they seemed important. I have to recall that my father always was good to me and loved me with all his heart, we played with legos and built papercraft houses, but he changed. Since the divorce he started to get distant and strict, he wasnt him anymore, he got a new spouse and married her (she is great tho) and didnt even told me, she gave birth to my new sister and it seems that she is loved even more than me but im happy for her. When we moved out with my mom to the other part of the country we didnt see eachother that much, but in one of my vacations there, he gave me the figurines, he had saved them for me. I wanted to cry and hug him, but he is not the same person anymore, but the memories were still there, he isnt caring anymore but i still love him. I just wanted to say, that i love you dad, even if you dont love me anymore, you are not the same anymore, but i still love you, and would be happy if you just told me that everything is gonna be ok and that you love me. I just want to be happy again you know?
Hearing this makes me so sad but happy because of how much you love your father 😊 I hope one day you’ll be able to find the happiness you’ve been looking for. 💕
The music in this movie perfectly encaptures my abandoned childhood. The sleepless nights my mother would endure just to keep us happy made me realize that this movie... was all I ever needed in order to survive. I am eternally grateful.
this song is basically my childhood. I remember sitting in front of the tv and waiting for my neighbour totoro to start. Apart from spirited away, it was and is still one of my favourite movies. There is something magical in these films only children are able to understand and even though I don't quite know what the most fascinating part is, I can see the magic. Therefore path of the wind will always catapult me back to the dozen times I've watched this movie when I was a child.
I can’t listen to this song without crying, it’s just too perfect and touching. It makes me think of everything and nothing all at once. More than anything it makes me think about how beautiful nature is and how the world is timeless and eternal. Momentary sadness is nothing before the eternal joy of life.
I'm an anime watcher and music/ost enthusiast. Being part of the anime community, I, of course, have heard of this movie. However, I have never decided to watch it. While scrolling through my recommendations, I happened to see this and clicked it out of pure boredom. When I listened to it, The first few seconds alone made me cry tears of joy and/or sadness. No backstory. No scenes to related to this music. Nothing but the music itself. I have never been so confused, fascinated and nostalgic.
My grandma loves studio ghibli movies, especially Totaro. Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of her. (She's still alive) but me and my cousins used to watch this movie at her house when we were younger. So, this song is the most nostalgic song for me and brings tears to my eyes everytime I listen to it.
This has got to me one of my favorite tracks. It's so inspiring, and it really makes me want to go and sketch out some characters of my own and write a beautiful story like this one. Studio Ghibli is a big part of my life, and I'm very highly influenced by it, in fact, it's the reason I want to study animation in college. I one day want to make an anime movie as good as this one. :)
Koko Draws!!! Same here, I would love to study animation some day and make movies people can enjoy, and I've been highly influenced by studio ghibli and Disney, so many incredible movies+soundtracks. :)
Day 100: Ladies, gentleman, and enbys...we’ve done it it’s officially day 100 of my daily logs. I don’t know if i will be continuing writing these logs but i guys we’ll find out soon. If this really is the end i wanna thank everyone who’s seen my story and supported me it was nice having this to always come back to. I hope everyone has a great day, week, month, year, and lifetime! Goodbye (for now)
That is so sweet! My 3 year old LOVES the movie, and she hums this song to herself and when she hears it on a daily basis. I really hope she never forgets about this song or movie
Wow this song... I watched Totoro the other day and when I heard it, it sounded so familiar. I can't remember if I watched Totoro as a child, but I feel like I did. It's so weird...
+Invader Zim It's strange. I don't remember watching this movie as a child. But I just watched it now and this song sounds so familiar and also make me feel like crying but I'm not sure why.
Literally just watched this movie the other day for the first time and I had to search this song because I am certain I heard it before even though I've never watched the movie..
As for me, I used to imagine waking up in the middle of the night and finding Totoro standing in my closet staring at me with his massive grin. lol thinking back that actually would've been be a little creepy.
in my case, i can imagine my mom watching this movie while I'm in her arms, humming this song while im playing with my totoro stuff toy (yes, and I still have it until now.) ❤ love you mom, miss you so much. thank you for giving me a wonderful childhood memories. ❤❤❤
I remember first watching this movie when I was younger, my dad had left to go to Afghanistan again and I was sad but then my mother said she had something that would cheer me up. We watched this movie and when this song played I made my mother replay it so many times. This movie is just- ugh, it makes me so happy and sad at the same time. I watched this movie again for the first time in a while, and I'll admit that I cried. A lot.
Watched it for the first time March 29th, 2023 (leavening that so I can remember when I grow old) and it was honestly a beautiful movie. While it didn’t have a huge plot, it was a serene and tranquil experience to say the least. It was… a journey. Just the feelings I got from this song alone made me tear up thinking about it the ride home. It feels like aim coming home for the first time after being away. Thanks Miyazaki.
This was one of the first movies I've ever watched, and I never get tired of it. Yesterday, I watched it again, and I cried multiple times watching it. It's beautiful.
When I was 4, my parents bought me the My Neighbor Totoro books. I liked it so much that they got me the DVD a year after. I had almost forgotten this movie completely, until I suddenly heard it after a while. I immediately searched the internet for it and as soon as I heard it I cried. There are no words to describe how much nostalgia this brings back from my childhood.
I never knew I was missing out such a masterpiece till tonight. I just finished watching this masterpiece. And yes this is a masterpiece. I can't help myself but to call it a masterpiece everytime! The story, music, animation is everytime one needs to calm their soul and mind. Now I realised, every night when I used to feel uneasy about a certain thing, it was totoro who used to soothe my anxiety. We all had a Totoro watching over us when we were small. And I still beleive that they're watching over us ♥️
This song literally makes me cry every time I listen to it... what a beautiful masterpiece of a song.... god bless studio ghibli for making my childhood...
My dad introduced me to Totoro, and every time I watch it I can only remember when we watched together when I was little, I really cherish those memories, the nostalgia is real. I love you dad. 💗
I lost my one and only, this used to be her favourite. She loved every single studio ghibli animation and that love made me fall for it even harder. Now I sit in my room listening to this, it’s been a year and I am still here. The 7 years worth of memories are still implanted in my mind, heart, and soul. Never heard anything as beautiful as this. I could never love again because my heart only knows of one love. That one person i could never be cold towards as she showed the true warmth in heart. Tears are relentlessly flowing and yet I am still here living in the shadows of that love. It used to be me and her against the world, now half of my world is missing. If you’re seeing this, I will forever be in love you issa
The first time I watched this movie was a trip tbh. It was super late at night on a weekend and I was home alone. My family had been meaning to watch it with me, as they all had, but we were all busy with work and school, so we never had time to. I decided right then to watch it on the tv in my kitchen. I made a little bed with a couple chairs, got a snack, some blankets, and started watching. I’m pretty sure I was in seventh grade, and I was super stressed. I was a terrible student, I even had 14 missing assignments at one point. I was doing better at this point, but constantly thinking I had missed something. I was still worrying at the beginning of the movie, but as it continued, my stress began to melt away as I followed the story of this family and a big, sleepy, gentle, kind brute. All this movie is is wholesome, and not many movies are like that. This movie is beautiful. Anyway, I’m gonna get back to my AP human geography homework.
I will always love my neighbor Totoro. The bond me and my daughter share watching any studio ghibli film is pure joy and happiness. This entire movie is so beautiful I could watch it nonstop. Thank you 🙏
Miyazaki’s movies means so much to me, like wow I discovered his pieces of art when I was a kid, but Now I still want to share my passion for these movies with everyone I meet, I just can’t explain how much I love it. All my love to Hayao Miyazaki
God I love this song so much. Still here in 2021 I'm here watching these movies and crying cause of how good they are. This song always brings me back.
Watching this while closing your eyes and you will feel nostalgic in no time...i miss my childhood how i wish i can go back and live my life once again
Day 269: SO MUCH HAPPENED TODAY. My childhood friend who I hadn’t seen in YEARS suddenly called and invited to a concert for FREE. Of course I went and genuinely I think it was the best concert I have ever been to, considering I didn’t know any songs I was still up and dancing the whole time. 10/10
I'm fourteen years old. When I was around ten, my uncle gave his copy of My Neighbor Totoro to my dad to borrow and let us watch. I didn't think much of it at first, but as soon as the film started I was so drawn to it. The music, the animation, and the simple year sweet storyline. After that i watched Spirited Away, then Ponyo, then Howls Moving Castle, and so on. These films give my such comfort. There are no villains, only a hero, not in search of fighting evil, but in search of good.
Whenever i hear merry go round of life, one summers day ,and pqth of the wind it brings me back to when i was so little and i would watch all of these movies by studio ghibli and now im a anime lover and i dont think any other anime has moved me as much ans howls moving castle ponyo spirited away and my neighbour totoro and more they all give me heavy nostalgia and make me cry everytime i watch them ❤❤
This was the movie which introduced me to Studio Ghibli, so I remember this the best. Years later I listen to a soundtrack similar to this, and this clicked. The last time I heard this must be at least 5 years ago.
I have seen the works of ghibli since childhood, now I have grown up but still keep that passion. Ghibli brought me back to my childhood with many beautiful scenes and different emotions. Thanks Ghibli
Mi vecino Totoro es la película del Studio Ghibli con el mejor soundtrack, amo esta película y muchísimo también al Studio Ghibli sus películas son proteína para el alma, te llenan de amor y sentimientos muy hermosos, cada una de sus películas es una obra maestra sin duda que deja una huella en cada espectador de las mismas, simplemente es cómo el abrazo de un ser que verdaderamente te ama y te llena el corazón del luz el solo recordarlo, el hecho de que alguien te hace sentir pacífico y en armonía contigo mismo
I stumbled across this video, and I am so glad I did. The music has an incredible ability to calm the mind, and the visuals only enhance the tranquility. It’s rare to find content that offers such deep relaxation and peace, and I’m grateful for this moment of serenity. I’ll definitely be revisiting this often!
I have very fond memories of watching my neighbor Totoro and ponyo at my grandparents house with my siblings when I was very young. It is incredible how rewatching these movies as a young adult I still feel the same exact way when I was 6 years old. My sister and I had a good cry to this piece the other day. God bless Hayao Miyazaki and all of his work.
I will never forget the night I fell in love with this movie It was a little over a year ago, i was 11 almost 12, yes i am young, i know. My mom came home saying she rented My Neighbor Totoro I wasn't interested even though i love spirited away and ponyo etc. One night i was bored, put the disc in and fell in love, It was like a spell, I was like hypnotized! I woke up the next morning full of it, I had to tell mom about it! 2 days later we rereturned it, and i was so upset We rented it again 2 more times but thought that was a waste of time I asked my grandmother for it for Christmas and got 2 discs, mom gave me one and grandma, it was funny And then rented the cat returns, I'll get to that later!!!
*It feels like you are missing something. That sweet taste of childhood, you are still young but it's not the same anymore. **_it's just not the same._*
ngl i was never a huge fan of this movie but i watched it in theaters today and it was like.. a different type of experience. this is probably the only movie i can sit through without getting bored.
I cannot describe with words how magical it felt watching this movie as a child. I remember wanting so badly to see Totoro because I fervently believed that I could not see him once I grew up. I wanted so badly to visit that enormous tree, to live in that beautiful house, to explore that enchanted forest.. Watching this movie as an adult has intensified those feelings with nostalgia. This movie is part of the reason why I want to live in the countryside
I grew up with Disney and even if I watched a few studio ghibli films when I was a kid, I've never enjoyed it. Now I regret this because I realized that the beauty of these films (animation, soundtracks, plot, ecc...) is on a whole different level. Yep, Disney taught me some things, but these movies shows how people grow and become adults even without villains or curses. If I have kids, I will watch these films with them.
My girlfriend recently showed me this movie and I've been in love with it. Last night I showed it to my niece and nephew and we watched it twice in a row. I just got them to sleep a while ago and this song got stuck in my head I'm drinking wine and vibing to it 💕
There's just something about Ghibi soundtracks that feel so mystical and free, like a breeze on a warm summer day, where you have no cares in the world. Joe Hisaishi is truly a talented man.
I remember I used to watch Totoro over and over again with my little brother when we were kids! Still one of my favorite Studio Chibli movies to this day!
Easily one of the most beautiful soundtracks I've ever heard, as is much of Hisaishi's works. I'm happy to have discovered Miyazaki's magical world in my childhood and teenagehood. The atmosphere he creates is just unparalleled.
I'm currently hunched over my laptop, overworked and crushed by university work. Listening to this with closed eyes and taking a deep breath felt like coming back to life. Thank you Joe Hosaishi.
This brings back so much nostalgia. When my siblings and I were younger, we’d watch this a lot. Next family movie night, I’m asking to watch this. Probably gonna cry my eyes out and get laughed at, but who cares?
Day 155: I made it to Spain! after 12 long hours or travel. First thing we did was sightsee, I love the way roads and communities are built here, you can walk everywhere! And the buildings are so ornate the architecture takes my breath away. I say day 1/21 in spain is a success!

Possibly the best part is that the story is a no-antagonist tale, yet it captures the imagination.
The book is absolutely amazing if you’re ever feeling nostalgic and don’t have access to the movie

I did the same, i watched when I was 4 and i re-watch 5 minutes ago at 18 and i felt the same emotions again :-)

I'm crying for no reason too it's such a weird feeling isn't it i just watched today
So do I... and I don't know the reason.
Same here ! I asked my sister if she saw My Neighbor Totoro before but she isn’t sure. Possibly I must’ve watched this a few times at least. Totoro reminds me of Appa from Avatar even though I’ve never seen the movie. They both seem like gentle creatures. My Neighbor Totoro somehow reminds me of Mulan in a way even though they are pretty much the exact opposite.
You can be like Satsuki and Mei, Miyazaki wanted to show how children and adults overall can deal with rough times like these, and see the beauty in life, and what there is it live for 😊
I'll be playing this when the virus is gone, walking into a field full of flowers on a summers day.
WTF
Why wait until then just close your eyes and believe you are there
So poetic. Reminds me of a Ghibli summer day.
I have done that. Listening studio ghibli on a beautiful summer day in a flower field feels magical ✨
thank you
I love the East Asian melody of this composition. It feels really Japanese, which ties in with just how much of an ode to Japan this movie is.
Ashley Chan I'm the same author as the comment. The reason why I said this is because Japanese society has increasingly been Westernized, so that Japanese cultural expressions from its past, like music, appear less and less. For instance, a good portion of recent anime has shown a tendency to emphasize Rock music and use settings that don't have anything to do with Japan.
Word. Watching this movie over and over as a kid really made the rural country life of Japan seem particularly appealing. It showed so many drastic and subtle cultural differences we have in a really elegant way.

I know my comment will get lost in the depths of the thousand stories other people have decided to share, moved by this piece, but that's what makes me want to share mine. This movie has played an extremely important role in my childhood. Ever since my dad introduced it to me and my little sister, one far summer evening, we both immediately fell in love with it. We watched it during lunch or dinner, whenever we were in the car, every time we were on a holiday. We used to pretend to be Satsuki and Mei looking for Totoro in the woods of our aunt's house. I turn 18 in a few months and right now it's really hard for me to see this movie again. Just hearing the voice of the two little girls brings me back to the smiles we had, the adventures we lived, all the places we have explored and the ones we haven't. But most of all it breaks me because I miss how things used to be and how my family overall was much happier. Even though my sister is now almost 15, I still tend to take care of her as Satsuki does for Mei, and I believe that despite the years passing she is and will always be the only costant in my life.
This music is the anthem of my childhood: it makes me think that although I am the one who leads the way, she is my light and I could never walk this path without her.
Your story made me smile. After all, when I was little, I also tried to find something mysterious and amazing. And I still believe that there is something amazing that people have not yet been able to find. God created what we can see, and there is what he has closed from us. Who knows, maybe somewhere in the forest there lives a big and kind animal, which we have not met before.
@@williamrobert2042 Thank you so much for this beautiful comment. It filled my heart with joy and hope and got me tear up a little. You're right, and maybe one day we'll discover that all the things we have dreamed about are real. Maybe one day.
@@_nobody_19 It is I who should thank you. You helped me remember those happy moments that I had long forgotten

I’m not the crying type and when I heard this I immediately started bawling my eyes out
Hey
Idk why this made me cry
But
All i want to remind you is that
Don't be sad because it ended be happy because it happened 💙
How tf does this have anything to do with ur grandma
@Kindacloudyy ur too inferior to survive without a heart. you wouldnt get it
When you grow up, tired of life, just sit down and rewatch studio ghibli's film. You will cry and very grateful cuz those films are fucking pretty. You will remember how beautiful your childhood is. I'm 15 and i am so grateful that i have watched ghibli's since i was 5. What a beautiful memory
My grandma got me into Miyazaki and Hisaishi. I can't thank her enough
to me it was the opposite because I got my grandmother into Miyazaki
The Husky 42 me too! Now she loves "Howl's moving castle". I'm so happy about her...
My grandma got me into the Miyazaki also this song always makes me think of when I was younger and I would watch these movies with her
Your grandma has good taste.
Clara Turpin same
I came here to cry, thank you
lol
Kallel Roman lol
same :,)
Me too :’)
I always come to cry
its weird how some movies can make you nostalgic about a childhood u never had.
My Neighbour Totoro was the first studio ghibli movie I ever watched, and as a kid who preferred more action packed stuff, most of the movie flew over my head. I adored the catbus scenes, sure, and I was always paying attention when totoro was on screen, but the rest sort of... fuzzed our to me.
So when I revisited it recently.... boy, totoro hits different. I lost my dad about a year ago to cancer, and seeing those little girls experience the emotions that I experienced (what if they never come home?)... ghibli has a very real way of showing these things. I’m glad that they got their happy ending.
Sad incoming
When i was a child i watched this movie like no tomorrow, i knew it by memory and always watched it with my family, mostly my father.
I have to tell tho, my mother and father werent a happy marriage but my father always got me presents to make me not pay attention to that.
My father bought some totoro limited editon figurines straight from japan and i didnt know why but he hid them, i knew where thwy were but i didnt play with them because they seemed important.
I have to recall that my father always was good to me and loved me with all his heart, we played with legos and built papercraft houses, but he changed.
Since the divorce he started to get distant and strict, he wasnt him anymore, he got a new spouse and married her (she is great tho) and didnt even told me, she gave birth to my new sister and it seems that she is loved even more than me but im happy for her.
When we moved out with my mom to the other part of the country we didnt see eachother that much, but in one of my vacations there, he gave me the figurines, he had saved them for me.
I wanted to cry and hug him, but he is not the same person anymore, but the memories were still there, he isnt caring anymore but i still love him.
I just wanted to say, that i love you dad, even if you dont love me anymore, you are not the same anymore, but i still love you, and would be happy if you just told me that everything is gonna be ok and that you love me.
I just want to be happy again you know?
reality .vs. imagination ...
watch ghibli movies with him, listen to the songs.
i’m so sorry, i cried reading that
Hearing this makes me so sad but happy because of how much you love your father 😊 I hope one day you’ll be able to find the happiness you’ve been looking for. 💕
oh dear, thats so sad,, im crying
The music in this movie perfectly encaptures my abandoned childhood. The sleepless nights my mother would endure just to keep us happy made me realize that this movie... was all I ever needed in order to survive. I am eternally grateful.
this song is basically my childhood. I remember sitting in front of the tv and waiting for my neighbour totoro to start. Apart from spirited away, it was and is still one of my favourite movies. There is something magical in these films only children are able to understand and even though I don't quite know what the most fascinating part is, I can see the magic. Therefore path of the wind will always catapult me back to the dozen times I've watched this movie when I was a child.
i love this when i first heard it in the movie i cried.
+Lucy Parra Me too!
+fanboyspemdas Yes it does
+fanboyspemdas I could have swore it was on the movie.
+fanboyspemdas Yeah tone that I listen to this whole song again. It was just the melody. The melody made me cry.
This is definitely in it. At least, in the sub. That's what i watched it in.
I can’t listen to this song without crying, it’s just too perfect and touching. It makes me think of everything and nothing all at once. More than anything it makes me think about how beautiful nature is and how the world is timeless and eternal. Momentary sadness is nothing before the eternal joy of life.
just perfect
isn't it?
yes.. :)
I cannot even BEGIN to describe the absolute wonder and awe I hold for all Ghibli films.
Why not
Isaiah Hdravagani me too they are incredible
Yes
I'm an anime watcher and music/ost enthusiast. Being part of the anime community, I, of course, have heard of this movie. However, I have never decided to watch it. While scrolling through my recommendations, I happened to see this and clicked it out of pure boredom. When I listened to it, The first few seconds alone made me cry tears of joy and/or sadness. No backstory. No scenes to related to this music. Nothing but the music itself. I have never been so confused, fascinated and nostalgic.
Neo you should watch this movie😄
Sani Tianze I will😁

My grandma loves studio ghibli movies, especially Totaro. Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of her. (She's still alive) but me and my cousins used to watch this movie at her house when we were younger. So, this song is the most nostalgic song for me and brings tears to my eyes everytime I listen to it.
Such a beautiful piece. Feels innocent.
This has got to me one of my favorite tracks. It's so inspiring, and it really makes me want to go and sketch out some characters of my own and write a beautiful story like this one. Studio Ghibli is a big part of my life, and I'm very highly influenced by it, in fact, it's the reason I want to study animation in college. I one day want to make an anime movie as good as this one. :)
Koko Draws!!! Same here, I would love to study animation some day and make movies people can enjoy, and I've been highly influenced by studio ghibli and Disney, so many incredible movies+soundtracks. :)

It was interesting to read your comments and I enjoyed them! Hope you are doing well.
My 8yr old son said this is the most beautiful song he had ever heard. He wanted to cry !
Your son is a legend
Same. It's beautiful that's is better than Disney movies. Movies without a protagonist and antagonist are the best
That is so sweet! My 3 year old LOVES the movie, and she hums this song to herself and when she hears it on a daily basis. I really hope she never forgets about this song or movie
❤❤❤

Wow this song... I watched Totoro the other day and when I heard it, it sounded so familiar. I can't remember if I watched Totoro as a child, but I feel like I did. It's so weird...
same here,idk how,but i knew exactly how the song goes,maybe i was just very young when i watched it so i dont exactly remember the characters
Me too! It almost made me want to cry!
+Invader Zim It's strange. I don't remember watching this movie as a child. But I just watched it now and this song sounds so familiar and also make me feel like crying but I'm not sure why.
+Davey Fraser This is the miyazaki power or ghibli power in general lol
Literally just watched this movie the other day for the first time and I had to search this song because I am certain I heard it before even though I've never watched the movie..
To call this movie beautiful is an understatement. This movie is simply a masterpiece. I cry every time I hear this.
While listening to this, I feel like watching myself as a child sleeping in my room while Totoro is on my roof Idk why lol
lol me too xD
awwww how cute!!
As for me, I used to imagine waking up in the middle of the night and finding Totoro standing in my closet staring at me with his massive grin. lol thinking back that actually would've been be a little creepy.
That is super adorable. I want to draw that
in my case, i can imagine my mom watching this movie while I'm in her arms, humming this song while im playing with my totoro stuff toy (yes, and I still have it until now.) ❤ love you mom, miss you so much. thank you for giving me a wonderful childhood memories. ❤❤❤
I remember first watching this movie when I was younger, my dad had left to go to Afghanistan again and I was sad but then my mother said she had something that would cheer me up. We watched this movie and when this song played I made my mother replay it so many times. This movie is just- ugh, it makes me so happy and sad at the same time. I watched this movie again for the first time in a while, and I'll admit that I cried. A lot.
I hope everything is ok
Watched it for the first time March 29th, 2023 (leavening that so I can remember when I grow old) and it was honestly a beautiful movie. While it didn’t have a huge plot, it was a serene and tranquil experience to say the least. It was… a journey. Just the feelings I got from this song alone made me tear up thinking about it the ride home. It feels like aim coming home for the first time after being away. Thanks Miyazaki.
This was one of the first movies I've ever watched, and I never get tired of it. Yesterday, I watched it again, and I cried multiple times watching it. It's beautiful.
My music is simply amazing as well.
My childhood... oh god, the feels... ;_;
It's over 9000!
True
its yami yugi kameihameha

Relatable!!
When I was 4, my parents bought me the My Neighbor Totoro books. I liked it so much that they got me the DVD a year after. I had almost forgotten this movie completely, until I suddenly heard it after a while. I immediately searched the internet for it and as soon as I heard it I cried. There are no words to describe how much nostalgia this brings back from my childhood.
Cries. Cries forever.
That s not sad you does not crie
pmadie16 dont crie bae it okei
+TheMitchwheelz i cri
That's so nostalgic!
First time I heard it I almost started to cry!
I love the soundtracks from Ghibli movies ^^
I like the original better even though I cant understand a word they're saying it's still beautiful
I never knew I was missing out such a masterpiece till tonight. I just finished watching this masterpiece. And yes this is a masterpiece. I can't help myself but to call it a masterpiece everytime! The story, music, animation is everytime one needs to calm their soul and mind.
Now I realised, every night when I used to feel uneasy about a certain thing, it was totoro who used to soothe my anxiety. We all had a Totoro watching over us when we were small. And I still beleive that they're watching over us ♥️
❤
This song literally makes me cry every time I listen to it... what a beautiful masterpiece of a song.... god bless studio ghibli for making my childhood...
I get goosebumps every time I listen to this... This music just relaxes me so much 💙💙💙
I have goosebumps too but it might just be because i'm cold
My dad introduced me to Totoro, and every time I watch it I can only remember when we watched together when I was little, I really cherish those memories, the nostalgia is real. I love you dad. 💗
I lost my one and only, this used to be her favourite. She loved every single studio ghibli animation and that love made me fall for it even harder. Now I sit in my room listening to this, it’s been a year and I am still here. The 7 years worth of memories are still implanted in my mind, heart, and soul. Never heard anything as beautiful as this. I could never love again because my heart only knows of one love. That one person i could never be cold towards as she showed the true warmth in heart. Tears are relentlessly flowing and yet I am still here living in the shadows of that love. It used to be me and her against the world, now half of my world is missing. If you’re seeing this, I will forever be in love you issa
I aspire to have even an ounce of this man’s genius and talent.
The first time I watched this movie was a trip tbh. It was super late at night on a weekend and I was home alone. My family had been meaning to watch it with me, as they all had, but we were all busy with work and school, so we never had time to. I decided right then to watch it on the tv in my kitchen. I made a little bed with a couple chairs, got a snack, some blankets, and started watching. I’m pretty sure I was in seventh grade, and I was super stressed. I was a terrible student, I even had 14 missing assignments at one point. I was doing better at this point, but constantly thinking I had missed something. I was still worrying at the beginning of the movie, but as it continued, my stress began to melt away as I followed the story of this family and a big, sleepy, gentle, kind brute. All this movie is is wholesome, and not many movies are like that. This movie is beautiful. Anyway, I’m gonna get back to my AP human geography homework.
totoro is a well animated well crafted film, you’re not meant to want to see trauma or heartbreak, it’s just a good film.
Day 3: Its hard to stay focused now that school is online, but I promise I will work on it tomorrow i wont get distracted
I will always love my neighbor Totoro. The bond me and my daughter share watching any studio ghibli film is pure joy and happiness. This entire movie is so beautiful I could watch it nonstop. Thank you 🙏
Miyazaki’s movies means so much to me, like wow I discovered his pieces of art when I was a kid, but Now I still want to share my passion for these movies with everyone I meet, I just can’t explain how much I love it. All my love to Hayao Miyazaki
God I love this song so much. Still here in 2021 I'm here watching these movies and crying cause of how good they are. This song always brings me back.
My 3rd Grade teacher was obsessed with Japan.
She showed us this movie on the last day of school back in 2004.
That’s cool
Watching this while closing your eyes and you will feel nostalgic in no time...i miss my childhood how i wish i can go back and live my life once again
Just decided to watch totoro again and I heard this song all I heard was nostalgia. Best thing ever I heard in awhile
Day 269: SO MUCH HAPPENED TODAY. My childhood friend who I hadn’t seen in YEARS suddenly called and invited to a concert for FREE. Of course I went and genuinely I think it was the best concert I have ever been to, considering I didn’t know any songs I was still up and dancing the whole time. 10/10
I'm fourteen years old. When I was around ten, my uncle gave his copy of My Neighbor Totoro to my dad to borrow and let us watch. I didn't think much of it at first, but as soon as the film started I was so drawn to it. The music, the animation, and the simple year sweet storyline. After that i watched Spirited Away, then Ponyo, then Howls Moving Castle, and so on. These films give my such comfort. There are no villains, only a hero, not in search of fighting evil, but in search of good.
my heart broke at 0:32
Whenever i hear merry go round of life, one summers day ,and pqth of the wind it brings me back to when i was so little and i would watch all of these movies by studio ghibli and now im a anime lover and i dont think any other anime has moved me as much ans howls moving castle ponyo spirited away and my neighbour totoro and more they all give me heavy nostalgia and make me cry everytime i watch them ❤❤
So many childhood memories. Magical. I will watch Studio Ghibli movies many more times.
Studio Ghibli has produced some of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen in my life and I will always love them.
ジブリの曲はいつ聴いても心地いいな😌
This was the movie which introduced me to Studio Ghibli, so I remember this the best. Years later I listen to a soundtrack similar to this, and this clicked. The last time I heard this must be at least 5 years ago.
I have seen the works of ghibli since childhood, now I have grown up but still keep that passion. Ghibli brought me back to my childhood with many beautiful scenes and different emotions. Thanks Ghibli
Mi vecino Totoro es la película del Studio Ghibli con el mejor soundtrack, amo esta película y muchísimo también al Studio Ghibli sus películas son proteína para el alma, te llenan de amor y sentimientos muy hermosos, cada una de sus películas es una obra maestra sin duda que deja una huella en cada espectador de las mismas, simplemente es cómo el abrazo de un ser que verdaderamente te ama y te llena el corazón del luz el solo recordarlo, el hecho de que alguien te hace sentir pacífico y en armonía contigo mismo
I stumbled across this video, and I am so glad I did. The music has an incredible ability to calm the mind, and the visuals only enhance the tranquility. It’s rare to find content that offers such deep relaxation and peace, and I’m grateful for this moment of serenity. I’ll definitely be revisiting this often!
Day 5: I stayed up until 3 am yesterday drawing and listening to music, but now its morning and I really wanna go back to sleep
This song warms my heart. It is a memory that will never leave me.
I have very fond memories of watching my neighbor Totoro and ponyo at my grandparents house with my siblings when I was very young. It is incredible how rewatching these movies as a young adult I still feel the same exact way when I was 6 years old. My sister and I had a good cry to this piece the other day. God bless Hayao Miyazaki and all of his work.
I will never forget the night I fell in love with this movie
It was a little over a year ago, i was 11 almost 12, yes i am young, i know.
My mom came home saying she rented My Neighbor Totoro
I wasn't interested even though i love spirited away and ponyo etc.
One night i was bored, put the disc in and fell in love, It was like a spell, I was like hypnotized!
I woke up the next morning full of it, I had to tell mom about it!
2 days later we rereturned it, and i was so upset
We rented it again 2 more times but thought that was a waste of time
I asked my grandmother for it for Christmas and got 2 discs, mom gave me one and grandma, it was funny
And then rented the cat returns, I'll get to that later!!!
2:06 keep coming back to this part, so magical
thank you
I feel all my memories coming back to me
i will never not love this song, it holds such a special place in my heart
Cette musique est juste sublime. Que ça fait du bien! Une bulle de béatitude...
Je confirme !
Vive Miyazaki et Hisaishi
Et vive le Japon !
Exactement !

*It feels like you are missing something. That sweet taste of childhood, you are still young but it's not the same anymore. **_it's just not the same._*
ngl i was never a huge fan of this movie but i watched it in theaters today and it was like.. a different type of experience. this is probably the only movie i can sit through without getting bored.
I cannot describe with words how magical it felt watching this movie as a child. I remember wanting so badly to see Totoro because I fervently believed that I could not see him once I grew up. I wanted so badly to visit that enormous tree, to live in that beautiful house, to explore that enchanted forest..
Watching this movie as an adult has intensified those feelings with nostalgia. This movie is part of the reason why I want to live in the countryside
This movie makes you feel safe in nostalgia
This is probably one of the only songs I'll ever be nostalgic towards as I loved and still do love My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, and Ponyo!
Literally thirty seconds in and i'm already tearing up. the nostalgia is way too strong even for me.
I grew up with Disney and even if I watched a few studio ghibli films when I was a kid, I've never enjoyed it. Now I regret this because I realized that the beauty of these films (animation, soundtracks, plot, ecc...) is on a whole different level. Yep, Disney taught me some things, but these movies shows how people grow and become adults even without villains or curses. If I have kids, I will watch these films with them.
My girlfriend recently showed me this movie and I've been in love with it. Last night I showed it to my niece and nephew and we watched it twice in a row. I just got them to sleep a while ago and this song got stuck in my head I'm drinking wine and vibing to it 💕
This is supposed to be happy but it was the first movie I was obsessed with, it makes me cry 😭😭
There's just something about Ghibi soundtracks that feel so mystical and free, like a breeze on a warm summer day, where you have no cares in the world. Joe Hisaishi is truly a talented man.
I remember I used to watch Totoro over and over again with my little brother when we were kids! Still one of my favorite Studio Chibli movies to this day!
incredible... no words for that
Easily one of the most beautiful soundtracks I've ever heard, as is much of Hisaishi's works. I'm happy to have discovered Miyazaki's magical world in my childhood and teenagehood. The atmosphere he creates is just unparalleled.
this music just makes me feel like I am in heaven and especially recalling those beautiful moments
Music brings tears to my eyes yet brings me to a land of peace
I'm currently hunched over my laptop, overworked and crushed by university work. Listening to this with closed eyes and taking a deep breath felt like coming back to life. Thank you Joe Hosaishi.
This brings back so much nostalgia. When my siblings and I were younger, we’d watch this a lot. Next family movie night, I’m asking to watch this. Probably gonna cry my eyes out and get laughed at, but who cares?
It’s actually really fun that I mostly know all the songs on xylophone from totoro like all of them and the movie is really nice I love it
Day 155: I made it to Spain! after 12 long hours or travel. First thing we did was sightsee, I love the way roads and communities are built here, you can walk everywhere! And the buildings are so ornate the architecture takes my breath away. I say day 1/21 in spain is a success!
