[Karaoke] Let’s Sing! A Collection of Ghibli Classics (1–10)
Name of LifeYumi Kimura
This is the main theme of Spirited Away, included on the image album.
Although there’s no singing in the film itself, many people will likely recognize the melody.
When lyrics are set to that melody, I think you’ll discover a new kind of charm.
You might find it surprisingly easy to sing, so give it a try at karaoke!
Carrying YouAzumi Inoue
Compared to other Ghibli works, this story has more elements that make you think rather than leaving you with a refreshing feeling at the end.
This serious-sounding song, which matches the work beautifully, is the ending theme of “Castle in the Sky.” It’s nostalgic—many people probably sing it at karaoke, don’t they?
Arrietty SongCecile Corbel
Arrietty’s Song is a piece that depicts the fantastical world of The Secret World of Arrietty.
It is sung by the French harpist Cécile Corbel.
The lyrics were originally written entirely in English and later translated into Japanese, after which she explored how to sing them by listening closely to the pronunciation.
Because of that, there are parts in the song with distinctive pronunciation.
That’s part of the song’s charm, so when you sing it, I hope you listen carefully and imitate it.
Using an English-like vocalization tends to work well.
Message of RougeYumi Arai
That ultra-famous scene at the start of the story, right before the title appears.
Kiki asks Jiji to turn on the radio, and this is the song that starts playing.
Just hearing the intro makes that thrill well up—“An adventure is about to begin!!”
contrailYumi Arai
The theme song of The Wind Rises.
As expected, Yumi Matsutoya is the perfect match for Studio Ghibli.
Just like in Kiki’s Delivery Service, it’s amazing how perfectly it matches the mood of the story.
It’s easy to sing and great for karaoke, so if you ever feel like singing a Ghibli song, definitely give it a try.
Princess MononokeYoshikazu Mera
This is the theme song from Princess Mononoke.
Where does such a beautiful melody that so wonderfully adorns the story come from, I wonder… It’s a gentle ballad, yet widely known—a song that draws everyone in.
If you ever find yourself thinking, “I’m running out of songs to sing,” why not boldly add this one to your set?
Promise of the WorldChieko Baisho
Howl’s Moving Castle, which became extremely popular thanks in part to Takuya Kimura’s voice acting.
This piece might be considered somewhat minor, but the fact that there’s even a choral arrangement shows how beloved it is! Its gentle triple-meter melody adds a lovely accent that makes the world of Ghibli even more beautiful.
