Que Sera, Sera (Whatever will be, will be)Jay Lavingston & Ray Evans82rank/position

André Rieu – Que Sera Sera

From “My Neighbors the Yamadas.” Used as an insert song.

The original is by Doris Day, the lead actress of the 1956 film “The Man Who Knew Too Much.” It is also known as “Whatever Will Be, Will Be.” Peggy Hayama covered it in Japanese and performed it at the 7th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

In the same film, versions by the Yamada family members and by Mr.

Fujiwara with the classmates are used as insert songs.

Set to a cheerful triple-meter rhythm, it delivers an uplifting message that “whatever will be, will be,” making it a song that gives you energy.

I look up as I walkKyu Sakamoto83rank/position

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

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!

Princess Mononoke – Departure to the West

A piece that brilliantly captures the world of the film Princess Mononoke.

The grand orchestral sound and the beautiful melodies of piano and strings are truly striking.

This track is included on the Princess Mononoke soundtrack, released in July 1997, and has long been loved as a song that evokes the film’s moving scenes.

If used at a wedding, its blend of strength and tenderness—symbolizing the bride and groom’s new journey—will further elevate the atmosphere of the venue.

It’s a recommended piece not only for bridal scenes but also for celebrating the departure of someone dear on a new path.
