[Healing Effect] Ghibli Music Box: Pom Poko — In This Asian Town (BGM for Work and Sleep)

This is an insert song from Pom Poko.

On a personal note, the first movie I ever saw was Pom Poko.

I often hear music box versions of its songs played in massage parlors and relaxation salons.

It’s a work that lets you feel a strong sense of connection.

Princess MononokeMera Yoshikazu

Princess Mononoke

The theme song of Princess Mononoke is one of Studio Ghibli’s signature pieces.

Princess Mononoke is a work that confronts not only beautiful scenery but also the darkness within humanity.

It was created at a time when deforestation and environmental destruction by humans were major concerns, and the scenes featuring the guardian of the forest are particularly memorable.

Love is a flower, you are its seed.Miyako Harumi

Only Yesterday – Love is a flower, you are the seed

This is an insert song from Only Yesterday.

Although it’s a work that reflects its era, both the visuals and the music are retro and convey the atmosphere of the Showa period.

It offers scenes different from today’s hurried daily life and will likely help calm the mind.

Ashitaka SeikImononoke hime sōnyūka

The Legend of Ashitaka (Symphonic Suite “Princess Mononoke” / Live)

It’s an insert song from Princess Mononoke.

I think everyone has heard it at least once.

With its grand melodic line, it captures the hearts of listeners.

In my school wind ensemble, which I was part of, we performed Princess Mononoke at our annual concert every year.

It’s a song full of memories for me.

Que Sera, Sera (Whatever will be, will be)Yamada-ke no Hitobito & Fujiwara-sensei to Kurasumeeto

Film 'My Neighbors the Yamadas' - End Title 'Que Sera, Sera' - Song by The Yamada Family & Ms. Fujiwara and Classmates

This is an insert song from My Neighbors the Yamadas, a Studio Ghibli film adaptation of a very popular four-panel manga.

I was in elementary school when it was released, and I remember going to the theater with my mother to see it.

What struck me about it being a Ghibli work is how beautiful every single scene looks.

Kiki's Delivery Service / The Turning Seasons

This is an insert song from Kiki’s Delivery Service.

It’s a track that brings to mind a lively image of Kiki flying through the sky.

The original novel of Kiki’s Delivery Service is interesting too, but the Ghibli film is especially delightful.

Everything is cute—the house where Kiki lives, the food she eats, and Jiji’s movements.

Take Me Home, Country RoadsJohn Denver

John Denver – Take Me Home, Country Roads (Official Audio)

This is a song that appears in Whisper of the Heart.

It’s the original “Country Roads.” It brings to mind the scene where Shizuku Tsukishima and Seiji Amasawa are smiling as they sing.

The story portrays the pure hearts of high school students, and when I listen to this song, I feel energized and ready to do my best again starting tomorrow.
