Am I the only one who gets the most satisfaction from playing music from Miyazaki movies? I think the first song I ever really had a desire to play was "Sampo" from Tonari no Totoro. It seems like the HMS podcast has Corey and Kalei playing a Ghibli song randomly in there as well.
Joe Hisaishi is an absolutely amazing composer, and each of the movies he's worked on has a beautiful soundtrack, having songs very reminiscent of classical compositions, and I think they lend well to the crisp sound of the uke.
The four songs I really practice regularly are:
Sampo (Totoro)
Totoro main theme (Totoro)
Always with me (Spirited Away)
Waltz of Chihiro (Spirited Away)
