Message of RougeYumi Matsutoya

Yumi Matsutoya – Rouge no Dengon (Yumi Matsutoya Concert Tour The Universe Library 2016-2017)

Rouge no Dengon Matsutoya Yumi

Yumi Matsutoya’s classic “Rouge no Dengon.” Its nostalgic melody evokes a distinctly Showa-era feeling, doesn’t it? Released in 1975, the song was later used 14 years on, in 1989, as the opening theme for Studio Ghibli’s film Kiki’s Delivery Service.

The vocal range is somewhat wide, from mid1 F# to hi D#, and while the pitch rises and falls fairly intensely toward the end of the chorus, the overall tempo is relaxed and the song builds wonderfully—hence our decision to feature it this time.

Kiki's Delivery Service

The revolving seasonsAzumi Inoue

Circling Seasons (Self-Cover)

Meguru Kisetsu Inoue Azumi

This is a magnificent piece used in Kiki’s Delivery Service, with exquisitely layered strings.

As you become entranced by the intro, the song’s opening unfolds with a melody so beautiful and noble that it overwhelms you.

Though the accompaniment and vocals are powerful, there’s a certain loneliness to it as well, which seems to perfectly match Kiki’s feelings as she leaves home to work on her own.

From Up on Poppy Hill

When I was in my first loveAoi Teshima

The Little Owl’s Favorite Song: When First Love Began

When I First Fell in Love by Aoi Teshima

This song, used as an insert track in From Up on Poppy Hill, is a heart-fluttering tune that, just as the title suggests, depicts the fresh feelings of first love.

Although it’s sung as something in the past, singing it in front of someone you like might just get your feelings across.

Highly recommended!

From Up on Poppy Hill

I look up as I walkKyu Sakamoto

Walk, Looking Up – 'Sukiyaki' – Kyu Sakamoto (Sakamoto Kyu) 1961.avi

I Look Up as I Walk by Kyu Sakamoto

A signature song by Kyu Sakamoto and a classic that everyone has heard at least once, “Ue o Muite Arukou.” It was used as an insert song in Studio Ghibli’s 2011 film “From Up on Poppy Hill.” In the movie, the song is heard playing on the television.

Although director Hayao Miyazaki apparently had a different song in mind, producer Toshio Suzuki is said to have recommended this one.

Its gentle melody and poignantly resonant lyrics naturally draw you in.

It’s a great karaoke choice for anyone, regardless of gender!
