It’s true I’m learning this piece and I got the one from the movie and I w@s trying to find a accurate copy of the one joe hisaishi wrote for piano but I couldn’t find any but this one is super close to the sheet music I have
I think the greatest thing about this song is how they use it in the film. It's by far the most used song, probably taking up half of the music in the movie. But every time they play it, it's a little different, they change the general tone, tempo, and even instruments to make it fitting for the current scene. It's because the song is supposed to be about how life has it's twists and turns, I guess. Great job btw, even if you made little mistakes, you're still really talented, I can barely play the right handed part lol.

I just love when they do this in anime, when they use the same song over and over with some variations, just like it was done with Lilium in Elfen Lied
I love the panic in her hand at 5:00 like "it's the end of the music omg I can't fuck up everything now!"

I could listen to this for five hours straight, it's amazing.
And just like that I fell in love with the piano.
Hi. After 4 long years I came back to this video. I remember looking up some random piano music and bumping into this beautiful cover and learning how to play the song and watching this video RELIGIOUSLY for a good two months. I know this is weird LMAO but just wanted to say thank you and that this cover has been an important piece of my childhood. 💕

I always go back to your cover, it’s so good I can’t help but remember the times when I still played the piano and had a teacher who taught me all of Ghibli’s music.
I’ve been watching this so many times already and still I’m amazed by your talent. The movie means a lot to me. Thank you for this masterpiece.
Even years after, I still check on this wonderful piece. :)
Thanks god, someone played the ff part on the 4:38 like it is!! A lot of covers and no one played that part!!! How can someone miss the best part of the song?

Here's the sheet music for anyone else who wants it. It's transcribed almost exactly as it is arranged here though there were one or two parts where I took from the original sheet because the arrangement here sounded a little off.

Прямо в сердце❤️. Очень красиво сыграно, душевно, спасибо 🥺💖
Sigo diciendo lo mismo: el talento que tiene esta chica con el piano es impresionante 💛👍💛💛💛💛
Finalmente encuentro un buen cover de esta hermosa canción. Excelente tempo, notas exactas. No entiendo por qué los demás tratan de agregarle el acompañamiento del violín si de por sí, el piano solo ya es un disco
it's been so long but still my fav omg YOUR HANDS ARE SO SMOOTH
Why was the video hidden for more than a year? I missed it a lot, it is the best solo piano performance
Dear Paulina, no matter how many times i hear this performance of yours i feel that there is no other arrangements as good as yours. your fingering on this arrangement is simply amazing. i could learn a thing or 2 from your playing.

Those who disliked this have fallen to the darkness and lack he talent to preform like this. I am proud to say I shed a tear of joy to watch this performance.
Que som maravilhoso, aaah O Castelo Animado me faz viajar nas nuvens, os gráficos te fazem imaginar um mundo mágico e a trilha sonora nem se fala Parabéeens,você toca tão bem
easily one of my top 5 themes from films of all kinds get stuck in my head for weeks at a time
oh my god i am watching the movie in my head i'm going to cry :D
That moment when with only listen to one song, you start to create and dream a new whole story... Beautiful song!!!
for those of you who want to learn this, it is just the same thing over and over again. took me 13 hrs to learn it (2 days, i have no life) and forever to add emotion. great job xxwhispers :)
Great peformance. This song is very difficult to play in piano. But it is really beautiful. I love this video! Thanks.

This is what we call "beautiful dissonance." Joe Hisaishi is a master of note placement. Each dissonant chord, sometimes with notes only a half step apart, is in just the right position so that it never sounds harsh to the ears. And you have done a marvelous job of preserving that through this performance.
From the first notes it sounds majestic. Thank you!
you caught the subtle chord shift in the last chorus I’ve been looking for in every other version - absolutely gorgeous performance 💓💓

The dynamics were perfect!
queria llorar por lo hermosa que esta esa cancion
such a beautiful piece, taking a lot of time to learn this for my senior solo at the end of this year
out of all the performances on youtube of this song, this one is my favourite. You play this so well. Such a joy to listen to it. I'm happy without a remake
every other person I've seen cover this song (including myself) plays the left hand too heavy, but this version truly captures the light waltz-y, whimsical feel of this song... and I love it
Simply beautiful, please keep making videos like this, I'm just starting on piano this year and i really think your an inspiration thank you and plz keep making videos and playing piano!!

This is incredible. I can't describe how much I enjoyed listening to this. Well done!!!
I've been playing piano for 3 years. I aspire to be this good!!!! beautiful performance
This cover hits hard
I absolutely adore this piece, just as I love the movie it comes from, and this is by far the best version I have heard! It has so much depth and sadness and is incredibly beautifully played, well done! I really wish I could play like this, I am insanely jealous! Thank you or sharing this, I listen to it all the time!!
That was amazing. Not everyone can play such a good pieces so well. I love that movie.
Oh! I haven’t played this song for years...! Thanks for sharing and reminding me how this song is beautiful! I should cover this song. You played it well! ❤️💕😉🎹
The best cover
Sitting by my laptop, watching your impecceble interpretation of Hisaishi's masterpiece, washing away my tears, and wishing the time would stop forever so I could listen to this amazing piece a million times.. . Thanks for such a great performance.
I like the way you play it, with soul-driven rythms. It's beautiful.
This made my heart smile
Maravilloso!!!

Beautiful
You are awesome. I'm learning this score as well.
Fantastic work. Absolutely fantastic.
Thx for that masterpiece!! :-) I had that video of you played in the background when I admitted my love to a yearlong friend of mine. And she was deeply stirred because the first movie we have ever watched together was Howls moving castle. I will never forget that and I sincerly thank you for providing me one of the best moments in my life!
I feel amazed n' also jealous about people who can take an octave by 1 4 fingers... oh shit.

Great cover. The variety between chords and octaves in the right hand felt really true to the original. I don't know if you arranged this yourself, but it feels really accurate.

You are so amazing! I watched this today and your playing haunted me throughout the day....
FANTASTICO!!! creí que se necesitaban dos personas para tocar ese tema.
Hermosa forma de transmitir placer acústico. Me encantó
