Introduction to the track
“Totoro”
1. When did we stop yelling like children? The little emotions in my heart piled up like a mountain until they overflowed. Instead, it’s better to be like a child forever.
2. Life gets better when it’s bad enough, because it can’t get any worse. After working hard, I learned a lot of things, stick to it, and come over.
3. If you lose some troubles, you will have a light-hearted opportunity.
“Spirited Away”
1. Life is a train to the grave. There will be many stations along the way, and it is difficult for anyone to accompany you from beginning to end. When the person accompanying you wants to get off the bus, be grateful even if you don’t want to, and then wave goodbye.
2. A lot of things cannot be controlled by oneself. No matter how lonely and lonely you are, you still have to keep going, and you cannot stop or turn back.
3 No matter how hard the road ahead is, as long as you walk in the right direction, no matter how rough it is, you will be closer to happiness than standing in place.
4. I can only take you here. You have to walk the rest of the way by yourself and don’t look back.
“Castle in the Sky”
1. Our loneliness is like a city floating in the sky, as if it is a secret, but there is no way to tell it. There is an island in everyone’s heart, which floats faintly in the heart, making us less desperate when we are tired.
2. After the lightning storm, it must be a world full of blue sky and white clouds, full of green grass and flowers.
3. Sometimes you get what you want most by sticking to what you least want to do.
“Witch’s Delivery Service”
1. Everyone has his innate characteristics, and in the end, he will be able to end his hardships.
2. From one city to another city, only rely on one’s own efforts. Learn to grow up, learn to bear, and after learning to cry, you can hug your parents with a smile.
3. Only when a person travels, can he hear his own voice, it will tell you that the world is wider than imagined.
“Princess Mononoke”
1. No matter how deeply you have been hurt, there will always be someone who will make you forgive all the hardships that life has done to you before.
2. The places that cannot be reached are called distant places, and the worlds that cannot be returned are called hometowns, but what I have always longed for is a place farther than the distance.
3. You said that you would love me forever. I was so stupid that I forgot to ask “is it this life or the next life”.
“Howl’s Moving Castle”
1. The world is so big and life is so long, there will always be such a person that you want to be treated gently.
2. Meet and know each other in the vast sea of people, no matter who it is, it will not be smooth sailing. Only a heart that is willing to pay and know how to be grateful can have a lifetime of love and happiness.
3. Love is not looking for a perfect person, but learning to appreciate the imperfect person with perfect eyes.
