day 2 ; one summer’s day // joe hisaishi

Of course I had to include Ghibli music! Since I just watched Spirited Away in theaters for Ghibli fest, the iconic Spirited Away theme has been on my mind. One of the main reasons this song is so impactful is because the film starts with the theme as the plot is introduced, and theme is played again at the end of the film to conclude the journey we witnessed. Hearing the music in addition to the well-written character growth in the film makes me tear up even when I just hear the first chords.
