Pirates of the CarribbeanJarrod Radnich
After posting this cover song online in the United States, Mr.
Rod Radnic became famous.
He plays a thrilling piano cover with great passion.
Radnic performs with such intensity that it wouldn’t feel out of place if this very cover were used as-is in Disney’s film Pirates of the Caribbean.
It’s the kind of performance that helps listeners get their work done more efficiently.
Your wish makes the world shine.MISIA
Among Disney fans, the question that always comes up is: “Are you Team Land or Team Sea?” Of course, the punchline is that you can’t pick just one.
“Believe! Sea of Dreams,” held at Mediterranean Harbor in Tokyo DisneySea, is a popular nighttime show.
Its featured insert song is “Your Wish Lights Up the World.” The grand, sweeping quality typical of MISIA’s ballads fits this show perfectly.
It would be ideal as background music for a pyramid formation at an elementary school sports day, and it also works well as BGM for performance-style presentations by upper-grade students.
