Man, your description hits the nail on the head. This is just like a dreamy new lens to see such an important part of my childhood through. I didn't know what orchestral hip hop was before this, but I am certainly a fan now! I love the sounds you use at the beginning that add to the Totoro ambience. I think it's such a smart move to have a pedal pad tone playing throughout - this was such a creative way to make your track sound more dream-like. The B section creates space for breath and I love the simplicity in the percussion and the combo of acoustic + electronic instrumentation. On the third repeat of your A section at the end, your own countermelody sounds so natural with Joe Hisaishi's and really ties the whole piece together. Overall, excellent work!
