But then, the scene when Shizuku sings, I was mesmerized! I loved the part so much that I watch it over again and again. I loved all the Ghibi's production, but this scene struck me the most.6/5 for it! Yes, I deeply agree with you.The show started off normally, like any other teenagers’ life.

As a pianist, I have to content myself playing the piano arrangement, but it's really nothing like quite the ensemble version. Good eye, Richard!

I was just looking for sheet music to play with friends when Google brought me to your blog. I also found a <a href="http://ichigos.com/sheets/101" rel="nofollow">piano arrangement</a> which is a bit bland compared to the ensemble, but the individual instrument parts might be extractable... By the way, I also play cello, but the instrument in the movie isn't one! It's fretted, with more strings, and the bow is held underneath. Probably a bass viol - or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arpeggione" rel="nofollow">arpeggione</a> :P The arrangement is absolute beautiful.

I found myself clicking back on that part over and over again trying to absorb every bit of it. I totally agree, the simplicity of it is its appeal and after viewing it like 15 times...well I set off for my day with an pleasant and idealistic view of the world. It definitely reminded me that there is a whole lot of junk in this world and that finding moments like this is very refreshing and cleansing. and if you must know, I'm a cellist.
