[The Rose -The Rose-] [Aoi Teshima] “The Rose” from the film ‘The Rose’

It’s the theme song from a 1979 American film, and I think many of you have heard it.

I was moved to tears when I listened to Aoi Teshima’s cover.

Because the song is so simple, I don’t think there’s a single correct way to sing it.

It seems to require vocal skill to perform, but I feel it’s a song that really brings out each person’s individuality.

Aoi Teshima’s gentle voice wraps tenderly around feelings for someone lost in this song.

The theme centers on spending a quiet night alone, recalling the warmth of a loved one, and finding emotional support in that memory.

Many listeners will likely find themselves moved to tears by Teshima’s voice, which conveys kindness and warmth that seem to stay close by your side.

It’s a song that gently accompanies those who carry the sorrow of losing someone dear.

Nice commercial: LION corporate ad, “Time-Slip Family: Thank You” version

This is Lion’s corporate commercial “Time-Slip Family: Thank You,” released in 2012.

Set to the beautiful vocals of Aoi Teshima, the film shows a family retaking a family photo in the exact same composition as one from the past.

You can hear her breath—doesn’t it feel as if she’s singing right next to your ear?

Teru’s Song/Aoi Teshima [Music Box] (Insert Song from the Studio Ghibli Film “Tales from Earthsea”)

With its whisper-like vocals that make you instinctively lean in and listen, this is a moving song from Studio Ghibli’s film Tales from Earthsea.

The lyrics poetically mirror loneliness and an unfulfilled heart in the images of a hawk dancing in the dusk and a flower beaten by rain.

Many listeners have surely been stirred by its quiet, profound world.

Released in June 2006 as Aoi Teshima’s debut single, it was also included on the acclaimed album Songs from Tales from Earthsea.

Its gentle tones are sure to soothe even a baby drifting off to sleep.

Teru’s Song (Songbook Version)Aoi Teshima28rank/position

[Traditional Chinese Subtitles] Aoi Teshima – Teru’s Song (Song Collection Version)

It’s not the main theme but an insert song used in the film; still, when people hear “Tales from Earthsea,” many probably think of this piece.

Producer Toshio Suzuki, upon hearing Aoi Teshima’s voice, was reminded of Sakutaro Hagiwara’s poem “Kokoro” (“Heart”), and, inspired by that poem, the lyrics for this song were written.

It may well be called a song “born under the guidance of fate,” one that truly defined the film’s image.
