The child in the movie sound track singing this melody is Joe Hisaishis (composer) own 4 year old daughter, who is now a singer and sings at the ghibli concerts. That's adorable 😭😭😭
Saw a Dorky article, listing the worst to best Ghibli movies. This was listed as one of the worst because "the 80s soundtrack let it down". It made me unreasonabley angry
I have never been disappointed in any of the soundtracks in these movies...that I'm aware of...These movies are masterpieces. It's been a while since I've watched them all. My favorite OST is Princess Mononoke though.
This is the only melody that I remember the tune to after not listening to it for almost half a decade. I should definitely rewatch all the Studio Ghibli movies, they are some of the best movies of all time.
I really like how the very "old tribal or eurasian" (idk) music combines with the 80's midi music. Gives that feeling of someone who lives in "The valley of the wind" on a very future post-apocaliptic world.
This song has lived rent free in my head along with each and every scene from the movie since i was 4 years old. I tried to actually build Nausicaä's glider when i was 14. It didn't work but i tried.
Based to try and build it. I remember being a child and trying projects that were obviously impossible :D But maybe it's time again, my brother just randomly gave me a log of wood and scrap metal at my 21st birthday so I can "build a crossbow". Obviously delusional, but hey :D
I actually hum this to my god children when they are crying(cause i have no voice for singing) and it actually helps them calm down enough to tell me whats wrong when i babysit them. Their mom has actually come to me saying out of all the songs she sings to them or has played for them on their cds, its this one that they always hum and its adorable.
OH THAT'S SICK! Nausicaä is one of my fave (actually all Ghibli movies are my fave) kinda made me tear up when Nausicaä "died" and how Obaba recognised her as the man in the blue cloak. You're very talented indeed!
I cant tell if I heared this before or if it was the first time when I watched the movie recently. It's the strangest feeling, because it feels like I was born knowing this song but just had to listen to it again to remember. It made me cry as if I just experienced something so beautiful that I couldn't help but tear up. It was the most beautiful thing I've experienced in a long time.
coming from a certain novel bibliography, i was certain that i had heard this long back, i am not sure because i knew about this movie for first time after reading comments
MDmattix maybe it was for the best "warriors of the wind" was the first american edition, it was so butchered it nearly became another movie, all the "boring" parts involving characters were cut out. Read about the culprit: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Macekre
Victor Hugo Carballo Because of how butchered it was, that Miyazaki took on the "No Cuts" policy. You kinda have to appreciate Warroirs of the Wind for that.
This tune never gets out of my head since i watched as I kid, and I still do~, I always just sung it or hummed it on car drives or riding my bike. It's just so catchy
Hadn't realized this song was in my head until I rewatched the movie years later. It's crazy how much this has shaped my life without me knowing it until now.
Lyrics la la lala la-la-la la la la-la-la la, la lalala la-la-la la lalalala la-la-la la la lala la-la-la la la la-la-la la, la lalala la-la-la la lalalala la-la-la la la la la la-la-la-la-la la la la la la-la-la-la-la la la la lala la la la la la la la, la la la la lala la-la-la la la la-la-la la, la lalala la-la-la la lalalala la-la-la ... Enjoy the lyrics! Memorize it well!
I rewatch a childhood "cartoon" favorite (didn't know it was called anime as a kid). I still love this anime, and Nausicaä was my childhood crush and still kinda is.
This just brings back the memory of when I just sat in front of the tv watching the movie and screamed, "むし!" honestly 3-4 year old I just loved bugs for odd reasons unknown, and my mother keeps on bringing that up every time we watch the movie together,
So, anyone here because two well-meaning fools named Ikuyo Kita and Nijika Ijichi had the nerve to raise the bangs of poor, vulnerable Hitori "Bocchi" Gotō?
This was the first anime I ever saw as a small child in the 80s(original dub) before I even knew what anime was. The ending scene with this song is a core happy memory for me and in my happiest moments I find myself singing La la la la la. Even in my sleep I’m told.
i just rewatch the movie after almost 15years when i was soo little, like 5yo or 6, and i still remember this song, like this was a song i already heard somewhere and got stuck in my head for all these years, like a song i heard yesterday or hayao copy pasted a already existing song to his movie but actually no, its a unique sound (i dont know how to explain, it's fucking magic)
I've been whistling this song everyday for the past 10+ years - it's been ingrained in my brain forever. There's something so surreal about this theme... or the whole movie, for that matter.
I remember this song from some of my oldest memories as a child but I don’t recall watching this movie until the other day. This song fills me with a crazy sense of familiarity and foreboding
@fixinman There's a scene where the socially anxious protagonist turns to ash from stress, and a legally distinct version of this song plays in the background
I rented this on vhs from the library. My first studio ghibli film. Left a big mark on me when I was younger. I still remember this song from time to time
I know a lot about music. I hear almost everything. I've already had 99 LPs and about 199 CDs. I play a little bit of flute and a couple of songs on guitar but I can read a partiture. Classical music is my default, John Williams, a living god. Love Motown and all Disco also. Even rap. But this melody is one of the few that makes me shiver all over, from the neck to the shins, in waves and often, my eyes fill with water, without understanding the real reason. It gives me a deep, abysmal sadness and a radiant, elevated joy at the same time and I don't know any other music that can impact me as much as this one, even though I heard it for the first time on a videoclub tape that a friend who worked in Japan brought found in the trash, to Brazil in 1987 and even today, I am completely impacted by it. Ghibly is above and beyond human comprehension but the days of his eternal redemption are coming, to occupy forever the place of humanity's most deserved masterpiece as an intellectual and emotional entertainment of very high pregnancies.
I can listen to it at night and it reminds me of riding a bike at 22:00/10:00 PM through fields in the summer, then being able to sit down on the road in complete darkness and enjoy the view of the Milky Way.
What most people come here for: 0:08 What I come here for: 2:14 That's right, there are two themes in this track. One is melancholy, and the other is more triumphant and mysterious.
*I knew Mononoke, Rosso, The Cat Returns, and Spirited Away growing up. Watching this movie has been a late delight. Next is Marnie, The Wind Rises, and both Castle films. Beautiful hand drawn animation*
i just watched the movie for the 1st time literally yesterday of today feb 3, 23 and heard this song like "woah ive heard this song before." it was like some core memory that awoke but i have no clue when or where ive heard it; it must have been when i was really young.
@@zzr7107 Miyazaki based the gliders on underwater scooters used by SCUBA divers. Now, if you want a ghibli homage from a great game, gotta love the Laputa vibes you get from Breath of the Wild.
@@zzr7107 Nausicaä is probably the most influential japanese fantasy work. It influenced final fantasy chocobos, ohmus also influenced a creature design in metal slug, it (and other ghibli works in general) influenced lefend of zelda in terms of both world and creature designs and in it's environmental themes. Also it generally made steampunk+fantasy setting (laputa helped in this a lot as well) combo popular in manga, anime and jrpgs. FF6, grandia, wild arms, FF9, skies of arcadia, dark chronicle, legend of heroes series, valkyria chronicles, nadia, turn a gundam, FMA, D gray man, last exile, steamboy, AoT, kabaneri, princess principal, violet evergarden and recently kind of deca dence as well.
I was around when this movie came out, ever time I get depressed even though my high school years I always remembered this song I could never forget it.
