Ghibli’s famous BGM. Recommended masterpieces and popular tracks for work and study BGM.

Nausicaä of the Valley of the WindYasuda Narumi

[HD] Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind – Narumi Yasuda

This is the representative song and main theme of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.

Ever since Nausicaä was released, I feel that Studio Ghibli’s works have begun to visualize the problems and darkness that modern people face.

Beyond its beautiful music and warm storytelling, this is a piece that evokes many feelings.

Tatara Songeboshi

Tatara Fumu Onnatachi (Tatara-Footing Women) — Tatara Women’s Work Song

This is an insert song that appears in Princess Mononoke.

Since Princess Mononoke carries a heartfelt message about eliminating discrimination, it also portrays scenes involving people with Hansen’s disease.

In that scene, Eboshi’s Eboshi Tatara Song is especially striking.

We all need to work together to create a world without discrimination.

Fine On The OutsidePurishira Aan

[Japan Tour Confirmed] Fine On The Outside / Priscilla Ahn — Theme song of Studio Ghibli’s film “When Marnie Was There”

This is the theme song from When Marnie Was There.

Studio Ghibli works often feature songs by Japanese singers, but listening to a song by an overseas artist changes the image of the work and leaves a different impression.

It’s a track that can calm your heart when you want healing or a slow, relaxing moment.

Home, Sweet Home (Hanyū no Yado)Hotaru no Haka Sōnyūka

Home, Sweet Home [England]

It’s an insert song from Grave of the Fireflies.

Unlike the heartwarming stories typical of Ghibli, this work conveys to both children and adults the message that war must never happen.

I was too scared to watch it when I was a child, but I believe we must pass on to the next generation that war is something we must never forget.

To That SummerSen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi Sōnyūka

[Piano] One Summer's Day - Ghibli 'Spirited Away' with Sheet Music / Joe Hisaishi / Tried Playing / Piano / CANACANA

It’s an iconic insert song from Spirited Away.

It’s so famous that anyone who hears it immediately thinks, “That’s Spirited Away!” When I listen to this piece, it somehow brings back the past and makes me feel nostalgic.

I can’t go back anymore, but it makes me remember something… it stirs up that kind of mysterious feeling.

If I could become the seaSakamoto Yoko

"If I Could Become the Sea" from "I Can Hear the Sea" performed by ocha

It’s an insert song from ‘Ocean Waves.’ It has a wistful melody that somehow brings back memories.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to on a summer evening.

I think it’s a great song to play when you want to unwind or take a break.

It’s a song I want both adults and children to hear.

Mother of the SeaHayashi Masako

Hayashi Masako – Mother of the sea

This is an insert song from Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea.

It’s a track that doesn’t feel very Ghibli-like.

The contrast with Nozomi Ohashi’s vocals on the main theme makes it particularly striking.

It’s a song that makes you want to watch Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea again—a cute, heartwarming story that helps restore a sense of humanity.
