It’s so sad in a way that nobody can even explain too

There has to be a German word for a sense of loss for a place that never existed

Natsukashii is usually referenced as the Japanese term

I thought that mapped more or less 1:1 with nostalgia/fondness. But they seem to be hunting for a word that means “nostalgia for something only imagined”.. Something maybe more like “fake deja vu”.

i can't think of one right of the bat

i mean, i could just invent the word "Traumplatzverlust" loss of a dream place but that's not exactly the same

The sentimental music is a huge part of it. As well as the story revolving around a young child who is in a scary new environment and fears for her parents. It really is a tremendously emotional story. I don't know if I can ever watch it again.

What's interesting is that there are rice paddies surrounding a train line just down the coast of Taiwan from the village that inspired Spirited Away. The area gets an absurd amount of rain and when inundated, it can look like this. Particularly if vuewed from the road to the west, the coastal backdrop can guve an illusion of water almost stretching out infinitely. One can only speculate that Miyazaki travelled south on his trip and saw this.

Well there is a city in Taiwan call Jiufen that’s where Miyazaki got his inspiration from for Spirited away. It wouldn’t be surprising if he use the surrounding area as part of design too.

I’d actually pay you to make a video for me. I absolutely love this song and love seeing every rendition. It’s the best part of the movie, and completes it fully.
