strollJoe Hisaishi
Azumi Inoue’s “Sanpo,” the signature song from Studio Ghibli’s emblematic film My Neighbor Totoro, is performed here with orchestra and chorus.
The footage is from “Joe Hisaishi in Budokan: 25 Years with the Animations of Hayao Miyazaki,” featuring numerous Ghibli masterpieces arranged and conducted by Joe Hisaishi himself.
The live texture of the orchestra is truly wonderful.
This piece was previously arranged for “Orchestra Stories: My Neighbor Totoro,” which includes a narrated performance—highly recommended as well.
Like an instrument introduction, it features sections where only the woodwinds or only the brass play, as well as sections for strings and percussion, plus solo passages, making it an arrangement that showcases the orchestra’s appeal.
It’s also recommended as an introductory piece for those new to orchestral music.
Beloved (feat. Shinnosuke)mountain monkey
A heartfelt number that moves you with love directed toward an irreplaceable presence.
It’s a track by Yamazaru, known for a style that fuses J-POP and hip-hop, released in September 2025.
This work features Kokoronosuke, an artist Yamazaru had long hoped to collaborate with.
The theme centers on his beloved dog, revealing a warm bond that proves you’re truly connected at heart even without words.
The unconditional love and gratitude that fill you just by having them by your side come through plainly in the duo’s gentle vocals.
Fish _ FishTokutaro Hosoi
Tokutaro Hosoi is a guitarist and singer-songwriter from Isesaki, Gunma Prefecture.
Known for his diverse musicality that spans from jazz as a foundation to rock and soul, he moved to Tokyo after graduating from university and built his career through live performances.
As a solo artist, he released the EP “Sukāto ni Natte” in September 2021, and in 2023 he produced his first album, “Sakana _ Sakana.” He is also active as a member of SMTK led by Shun Ishiwaka, with his improvisational guitar playing being a particular draw.
Incidentally, he reportedly started singing at the recommendation of singer-songwriter Oozora Kimishima.
Maximum reachSEKAI NO OWARI
SEKAI NO OWARI’s classic song “Saikō Tōtatsuten” (“Highest Point”).
This track was used as the opening theme for the hugely popular anime ONE PIECE, which is also beloved by elementary school students.
While SEKAI NO OWARI often tends to have high-pitched melodies, this song is contained within a very narrow vocal range of mid1F to mid2F#.
Even elementary schoolers, whose voices can be unstable due to voice change, should generally be able to sing it without issues.
Boys who have already undergone voice change can sing it in the original key; otherwise—and for most girls in elementary school—it’s best to lower the key for adjustment.
Sangenjaya StoriesYoung Skinny
This is a track by the Tokyo-born rock band Young Skinny.
Set in the real-life neighborhood of Sangenjaya, it portrays the ordinary days of a stubborn, self-indulgent man and his girlfriend.
The mismatch of feelings that keeps them from being honest—and the unmistakable love beneath it—resonates deeply through highly relatable lyrics and a warm sound.
The music video, which even features actual restaurants, further enhances that everyday atmosphere in a memorable way.
Released in July 2025, the song also serves as a new live anthem for the band following their album “BOY & GIRLS.” While this work has no tie-in, the band has a strong track record, including appearances on programs like “King’s Brunch.” This tender story unfolding in a corner of Tokyo is a gem that listeners who cherish time with their partners will especially appreciate.
