It seems to be a celebration of pure love and beautiful promises, and the melody is soft and tactful, like a ray of warm sunshine, illuminating the hearts of the listeners. The song "The Merry-Go-Round of Life" is also from "Howl's Moving Castle", which is different from "The Promise of the World", "The Merry-Go-Round of Life" shows the fantasy life scenes in the movie with its smart and lively melody. It is like a merry-go-round, taking the listener through the world of music, experiencing the ups and downs of life and all kinds of wonderful emotions.
At the event, Ms. Zhang sighed intoxicatedly: "When the melody of "The Promise of the World" sounded, I felt as if I was instantly transported into a world full of love and warmth. That gentle melody is like a pair of gentle hands, gently caressing my heart, reminding me of my own beautiful promise, it is really wonderful. And "The Merry-Go-Round of Life" gave me a completely different experience, its agility and liveliness made me feel as if I was experiencing a wonderful adventure, and with the ups and downs of the melody, my mood also rose and fell, which was really amazing. Ms. Bai, who came with her children, said happily: "My children especially like the animation "Howl's Moving Castle", and she is very excited to hear these two classic tunes on the scene today. The warm and romantic feeling of "The Promise of the World" is very helpful for children's emotional cultivation. And the lively melody of "The Merry-Go-Round of Life" also made the children dance along with the hands, this concert is really worth it, and I hope there will be more such performances in the future. ”
It is worth mentioning that the day before the performance was the August 1st Army Day, and "My Motherland and Me" was also played at the concert site, the patriotic spirit contained in the August 1st Army Day echoed with the deep love and attachment to the motherland expressed in "My Motherland and Me", the army is the Great Wall of Steel to defend the motherland, and their dedication is an important guarantee for the prosperity and stability of the motherland.
