Fire Treasure from The Castle of Cagliostro on an Ocarina Video

Fire Treasure by: Yuji Ono from: The Castle of Cagliostro performed by: iBookworm on: a Focalink Double Alto C ocarina This is the theme to Hayao Miyazaki's first full-length film. The movie is based on a really awful manga and TV series, but Miyazaki gives it quite a bit of dimensionality not present in the source material. Plus, it's fun to see Miyazaki do slapstick. (Just be warned: if you see the newer release, the English dub has PG-13 language that was not present in the original Japanese.) The movie is also the only film by Miyazaki that does not feature a score by the peerless Joe Hisaishi. Still, "Fire Treasure," the title theme, fits the setting of a small, fictional European country and the thief/spy vibe perfectly. I hope you enjoy!
