A wonderful tale of a wizard's castle which door is actually a portal into four different places. The wizard who owns this castle is Howl, and the fire demon who runs it is Calcifer. These two have been working together since Howl was young. It was told that Howl sold his soul to Calcifer, creating a strong bond , more likely a contract which can only be broken by the lady of the story Sophie. This very enriching and magical story was authored by Diana Wynne Jones and was adapted and animated by Hayao Miyazaki in 2004.

Let me share with you the original lyrics and translation of this movie's main theme:
SEKAI NO YAKUSOKU (click here)
Lyricist: TANIGAWA Shuntarou
Composer: KIMURA Yumi
Arranger: HISAISHI Joe
Vocalist: BAISHOU Chieko
namida no oku ni yuragu hohoemi wa
toki no hajime kara no sekai no yakusoku
the smile that waver inside tears
is the promise of the world since the beginning of time
ima wa hitori demo futari no kinou kara
kyou wa umare kirameku
hajimete atta hi no you ni
even if now you're alone, from the yesterday when you were two
glittering today's arisen as the day you met for the first time
omoide no uchi ni anata wa inai
soyokaze to natte hoho ni furetekuru
you are not inside memories
come as a gentle breeze to graze my cheek
komorebi no gogo no wakare no ato mo
kesshite owaranai sekai no yakusoku
even after parting in an afternoon, sunshine leaking through leaves
the promise of the world never dies
ima wa hitori demo ashita wa kagirinai
anata ga oshietekureta
yoru ni hisomu yasashisa
now you're alone, but tomorrow's limitless
you taught me the gentleness hidden in the night
omoide no uchi ni anata wa inai
seseragi no uta ni kono sora no iro ni
hana no kaori ni itsumademo ikite
you are not inside memories
you live forever into the melody of a brook,
in the colour of this sky, in the fragrance of flowers
