One Summer's Day by Joe Hisaishi from Spirited Away Cover

Happy summer ! Another favorite from the Ghibli Studio films Spirited Away and the song, One Summer's Day by Joe Hisaishi. Our three daughters and two sons enjoyed this film so much and I recall happy times watching it together! I hope you enjoy the performance of the piano solo version. Spirited Away (Japanese: 千と千尋の神隠し, Hepburn: Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, lit. 'Sen and Chihiro's Spiriting Away') is a 2001 Japanese animated fantasy film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, animated by Studio Ghibli for Tokuma Shoten, Nippon Television Network, Dentsu, Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Tohokushinsha Film, and Mitsubishi and distributed by Toho. The film features the voices of Rumi Hiiragi, Miyu Irino, Mari Natsuki, Takeshi Naito, Yasuko Sawaguchi, Tsunehiko Kamijō, Takehiko Ono, and Bunta Sugawara. Spirited Away tells the story of Chihiro Ogino (Hiiragi), a ten-year-old girl who, while moving to a new neighborhood, enters the world of Kami (spirits of Japanese Shinto folklore) The film score of Spirited Away was composed and conducted by Miyazaki's regular collaborator Joe Hisaishi, and performed by the New Japan Philharmonic. The soundtrack received awards at the 56th Mainichi Film Competition Award for Best Music, the Tokyo International Anime Fair 2001 Best Music Award in the Theater Movie category, and the 17th Japan Gold Disk Award for Animation Album of the Year. Later, Hisaishi added lyrics to "One Summer's Day" and named the new version of the song "The Name of Life" (いのちの名前, "Inochi no Namae") which was performed by Ayaka Hirahara. For educational purposes on Japaneese pop culture that became infused into American fandom. #spiritedaway #joehisaishi #onesummer'sdaypiano Used for the project: Roland FP 90X Ableton Live Noire from Native Instruments DaVinci Resolve Canva graphics PXFUEL graphic art Buy me a coffee or tea! https://ko-fi.com/donnam19083 New things will be shred soon: Collaborations and original work
