"Summer" by Joe Hisaishi

Today I played "Summer" by Joe Hisaishi from the japanese movie "Kikujiro No Natsu"! :)

I think what I love about this piece is the whimsical melody that replays throughout it... When the beginning begins with this melody, in my mind summer comes back- the blinding brilliant rays shining against the clear blue sky, the light breeze gently teasing my hair, the background lull of crickets and cicadas chirping amongst each other, and the heavy heat, settling upon my shoulders in an oppressive, and yet liberating way as eagerly anticipate what adventure each summer will bring.

I'd really like to see the movie actually to see how this piece is used in it...^^
