Free Adventure of the Wild FlightHisaishi Joe
A single piece plays during the climax.
The scene mixes tension and fear that the airship might crash, expressed through dissonance and a back-and-forth riff.
Many classical music fans will know that the same technique is used in Erik Satie’s piano works.
Thanks to Joe Hisaishi’s distinctive choice of sounds, it strangely becomes a very approachable piece.
Because I’m by your side…Imai Yūko
Yuko Imai’s “Boku ga Soba ni Iru Kara…” (“Because I’m by Your Side…”) is a moving song sung from the perspective of a pet watching over its beloved person from above the clouds, amid gentle light and pure air.
It carries the message that a departed pet eases the sorrow of those left behind and continues to watch over them until the day they meet again.
First unveiled on YouTube in 2008 and released in digital format by Bellwood Records on July 18, 2012, the work drew significant attention, reaching No.

It is a song that brings a ray of hope to those facing pet loss, conveying the strength and enduring nature of the bond with a loved one who has passed.

My TreasureLyrics/Composition: Tomoyuki Seki
“My Treasure” is a song that conveys gratitude to friends who always played and sang together at kindergarten or nursery school.
Tomoyuki Seki, who has experience as a childcare worker, wrote and composed the piece.
Warm vocals unfold over a clear, expansive piano tone.
Because many sections repeat the same melody, even children who aren’t confident singers will find it easy to learn.
It’s a graduation song that lets children feel how, though they understood nothing when they first enrolled, by the time they graduate their hearts are filled with memories of dear friends.
Let’s have the children sing these gently resonant phrases that touch the heart.
Boyoyon MarchSakushi: Nakanishi Keizō, Tagaku Yuri / Sakkyoku: Nakanishi Keizō
“Boyoyon March,” one of the most popular songs from Okaasan to Issho, debuted in April 2006 as the “Song of the Month” during the era of Brother Yuzo Imai and Sister Shoko Haida.
Later, Daisuke, who served as the longest-tenured “Uta no Onii-san” for nine years, said that after the Great East Japan Earthquake during his tenure, this was the song he sang “with all his soul.” It’s a song that gives a gentle push to those doing their best.
Many children are likely familiar with it, and it’s a tune that cheers on the future of the next generation.
My Mixed JuiceSakushi: Gomi Taro / Sakkyoku: Shibuya Takeshi
I’d like to introduce “Boku no Mix Juice,” a song with a fun, poppy sound.
It became popular thanks to NHK’s educational program Okaasan to Issho.
The song has three verses, each set in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
Its quirky lyrics describe tossing everything—friends, the sun, and more—into a blender and drinking it all up.
It’s fun to imagine what that might be like.
Also, the hand motions that go with this song are a big part of its charm.
Try doing them as you sing along.
