For the First Time in ForeverKristen Anderson-Lopez,Robert Lopez

This is the musical number sung in the early part of the film Frozen, on the morning of the coronation when the long-closed castle gates are opened.
It vividly contrasts Anna, who bursts with longing for the outside world, and Elsa, who shuts herself off to keep her secret hidden.
The structure—placing different emotions on the same melody—is masterful and draws listeners into the story’s world.
Packed with the excitement of a new day and a touch of tension, this piece is perfect as background music for mornings when you want to flip your motivation switch for work or study, or for moments when you need to psych yourself up.

Bright FutureAlan Menken

This is the duet song that colors the climactic scene of the film Tangled, released in Japan in March 2011, where countless lanterns floating in the night sky create a magical atmosphere.
The music was composed by Disney maestro Alan Menken.
Rapunzel, who has discovered the world outside the tower, and Flynn, whose outlook has changed after meeting her, join hands and sing of their hopes for a new world.
Nominated for Best Original Song at the 83rd Academy Awards, the piece features an accessible melody with elements of folk and pop.
It’s perfect as background music for peaceful moments with someone special or for relaxing during household chores—why not give it a listen?
I wonder if this is love.Mack David

This is the waltz that plays during the most romantic scene in Disney’s Cinderella—the ballroom sequence where she takes the hand of the prince she’s dreamed of and dances with him.
The lyrics, which capture the heroine’s fluttering heart as she enjoys a dreamlike moment after years of hardship under her cruel stepfamily, are especially memorable.
First beloved as a song within the film released in the United States in February 1950 and included on the original soundtrack, it has since been performed by many different singers.
Its graceful triple-time rhythm alone can make you feel as if you’re standing in a grand hall of the castle.
Why not take a short break from your busy chores or work and listen when you want to relax and drift into a dreamy mood?
When You Wish Upon A StarLeigh Harline


This commercial depicts various people enjoying Tokyo Disney Resort alongside everyday outdoor scenes, conveying how the resort has supported each of their memories.
It expresses how memories made in a special place deepen bonds and connect to happiness in everyday life and in the future.
Further enhancing the happy, warm atmosphere shown in the footage is “When You Wish Upon a Star,” familiar as the theme song from Pinocchio.
The gentle vocals layered over the soft-sounding arrangement are striking, and they truly have a calming effect on listeners.
Disney Song Medley (20th Century Edition)

Because Disney has produced a wide variety of works over its long history, many people may not know the order in which the films were released.
This is a perfect medley for experiencing that history: a sequence of theme songs arranged in release order.
Focusing on feature-length animated films, let’s trace how Disney has progressed starting from Snow White.
Since the medley covers theme songs from 1937 to 2000, it’s also recommended to pay attention to the evolution on the musical side.
