Funnily enough, i just watched Princess Mononoke for the first time the day i rated your submission 😁 (that's why i felt the style fitting that as I was listening).
I've gotten the Mononoke reminescence mention before, on a piano track for another jam, so I must've listened to the Mononoke soundtrack before unknowingly, or just that Hisaishi uses some recurring elements in his Ghibli stuff that i used too.
I did have My Neighbour Totoro on a VHS growing up that I've seen probably 50+ times, so I've probably have internalised some "Hisaishi-isms" from that.
Glad you liked it! Kinda wish i had a better work ethic to actually finish the other tracks in the submission that were pretty unfinished/rough still😅.
