"Song of Time" Aoi Teshima [Lyrics]

This is the ending song of Tales from Earthsea.

Aoi Teshima’s airy high tones amplify the sense of wistfulness.

Don’t the lyrics, which liken life to a journey, feel literary and thought-provoking? It’s a highly recommended track that teaches you both the bitter and the sweet.

“Twilight” Aoi Teshima [Lyrics] Tales from Earthsea

This one has a mystical singing voice that makes you want to keep listening.

The relaxed melody and quiet, simple sound are incredibly pleasant to the ears! Like Tales from Earthsea with its serious atmosphere, this track also feels mysterious in its own way.

It’s the kind of song that lets you sink into a nostalgic mood, like walking through an empty town at dusk.

Be sure to pay attention to the lonely lyrics about being all alone, too.

Original songAoi Teshima18rank/position

Rikako Yagi is shining in both her modeling and acting careers.

She truly stood out in the Pocari Sweat commercial, perfectly matching the brand’s image.

Her appearance in Takasago Thermal Engineering’s “Environmental Creators” commercial is also unmissable.

The company’s culture of creating invisible air pairs beautifully with her translucent presence.

The BGM features Aoi Teshima, known for singing numerous Ghibli songs.

I think her clear, pure voice is indispensable to this CM as well.

The song is said to be an original track created specifically for the Takasago Thermal CM.

Teshima’s gentle voice really resonates with the heart.

Give it a listen when you want to reset your feelings.

Moon RiverAoi Teshima21rank/position

Moon River

Many of you might remember this commercial that aired in 2009.

It depicts humanity hard at work throughout history—cavemen chasing mammoths, ancient Egyptians building the pyramids, and ancient Chinese constructing the Great Wall.

It then ends by showing people working in the modern day.

Even while saying we’re always working, the warm narration makes you feel proud of it.

Enhancing that gentle atmosphere is the background music, Moon River.

Originally sung by Audrey Hepburn in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, this commercial uses the version performed by Aoi Teshima.
