Always With MeKimura Yumi

Yumi Kimura - "Always With Me"

It’s the theme song from Spirited Away.

Among Studio Ghibli theme songs, it has become a classic that has been loved for a long time.

Along with the film’s success, it was broadcast many times on television and became a hot topic.

Its poignant lyrics and melody move those who listen.

Fantasy in My Pocketsachi&juri

Pokemon – Pocket Ni Fantasy – Full

It’s the ending theme of Pokémon.

When I was little, I listened to it from a child’s perspective, and now that I’m an adult, I hear it from an adult’s perspective.

It makes me feel so wistful, remembering how badly I wanted to grow up back then.

I especially like the second verse, which portrays a bittersweet love.

Forget-me-notGReeeeN

Forget-me-not by GReeeeN

GReeeeN’s “Wasurenagusa,” written as the ending theme for the anime AI no Idenshi, captures the feelings of coexistence between AI and humans in the story and the experience of going through many “nice to meet you” moments—sentiments that, of course, resonate among humans as well.

And doesn’t that moving, expansive chorus—so characteristic of GReeeeN’s music—bring tears to your eyes? We encounter countless first-time emotions in life, but if you feel you’ve forgotten that sense lately, this is a song you should definitely listen to.

Get OverDream

[MAD] Get Over [Hikaru no Go]

This is a song by the female dance-vocal group Dream.

It became a hot topic as the opening theme for the anime Hikaru no Go.

At the time, the anime drew attention for its focus on the game of Go and had a major impact, even leading to an increase in elementary school students taking up Go.

Listening to this song together with the anime makes it an especially moving piece.
