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 of “When Marnie Was There.” With a clear, transparent voice that resonates pleasantly, it’s a work with a wonderful sense of sonic breadth.

I think it’s great to listen to when you want to be healed or take it slow.

If I’m wrapped in kindnessMatsutoya Yumi

Kiki's Delivery Service Wrapped in Kindness

One of Yumi Matsutoya’s signature songs, “Wrapped in Gentleness,” is the theme song for Kiki’s Delivery Service.

In Kiki’s Delivery Service, the townscapes, scenery, music—everything is beautiful, and watching it puts you in a positive mood, doesn’t it?

My Humble Cottage

Home, Sweet Home [England]

This is an insert song from Grave of the Fireflies.

It played during the scene where Seita retraces his memories with Setsuko.

Since it’s the film’s climax, I imagine many people were moved to tears while listening.

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

This is an insert song that appears in Princess Mononoke.

Many people will remember the scene where the women working at the Tatara foundry sing together as they work.

It’s music that makes you want to rewatch the film.

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 adorned the film’s opening scene.

As the title suggests, it’s a piece that evokes the grandeur of the ocean and the embracing warmth of a mother.
