I dont have much to say about this. I really dont. Its a Music Video. It is 5 minutes long. Its from Ghibli Studios. Well, why not to try it, right? I wont miss 5 minutes. In a music video whats important? I believe the music is. And here, it was not pleasant, at least to me. Nothing special, i just dislike it. The art is good. Its from Ghibli, for god sake, it cant be bad. The story is common. A love story, guy+lady. The guy is no longer with her. She is sad. And that is it. The characters personality is as normal as thestory, nothing exceptional, just regular persons, at least theyre not bad. Well, putting all the pieces together, Kaze no Toori Michi is not all that great, like On Your Mark, by the same Studio, but is Fair enough. I'd say you would not mind giving away 5 minutes to watch this. I didnt like the music, maybe you will. 5. Not bad, not good.

The path of the wind is a music video produced by the huge Studio Ghibli.While it has the usual ghibli look,it lacks the polish and refinement of its contemporaries(not required to make a music enjoyable of course,just something that seemed off to me)The mellow song sung by Sayuri Horishita although not falling into my favorite genres of music is quite good and fits the story depicted perfectly.Overall my experience with Kaze no Toori Michi was a plain,none the less a bit enjoyable one.Is this high on my reccomendations list? Of course not!But if you have the free time that I possess right now why notgive it a go?I can say that its definetely not wasted time

Ghibli art style + wholesome love + music = "Kaze no Toori Michi"/"The Path of Wind" I didn't know what I was going to get going into this title. Though, as I leave, I can safely say it is a title I don't regret watching in the slightest. As a music video "The Path of Wind" is a short story based on lovers and their average time during the beautiful moments of being together. It's a simple narrative, very easy to follow, with not a lot to offer due to physical limitations, though this does not exempt it from glory emerging from the praise that is bestowedvia simplicity. That's all the selling point really is, but it is truly effective given its flawless presentation and execution. It's nice to look at, and the music is for sure good. Admittedly, it is probably one that won't stay with me, but whilst listening to it, it did indeed have an impact during that moment. Horishita Sayuri is simply not to be underestimated, and I haven't heard of her prior to this, I hope she gets more for herself. Anyways, I would recommend this for sure, if you don't like the visual story then at least have the music going around somewhere. There seems to be no loss with this one and is one of the high-quality music videos that seem to be forgotten as time passes. Not one to skip. 8/10.
