Kiki’s Delivery ServiceHisaishi Joe
It’s a song from the movie Kiki’s Delivery Service.
Every time I listen to it, memories come back.
Even in a classical arrangement, it’s very calming to listen to, and it still feels fresh even now.
I love this song.
It’s a piece that can be enjoyed by both adults and children.
Symphonic Poem“NAUSICAÄ”Hisaishi Joe
Ghibli music usually gives a heartwarming impression, but this Nausicaä piece feels completely different no matter how many times I listen to it.
Even so, it’s filled with gentleness and poignancy, and it moves me to tears.
The piano delivers an incredibly beautiful melody.
“Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind” – Highlights –Hisaishi Joe
There may be no piece more perfectly suited for orchestral performance than Nausicaä.
It’s great that we can enjoy so many different versions.
This one is a well-rounded piece of music that feels reassuring to listen to.
It has a lovely melody.
Always With MeHisaishi Joe
From Spirited Away.
The original song is by Yumi Kimura.
Wakako Kaku, who also wrote the lyrics for this piece, is active as a lyricist, poet, and singer-songwriter, and has provided lyrics for a variety of artists including SMAP and Rimi Natsukawa.
This song won honors such as the Gold Prize at the 43rd Japan Record Awards.
She also wrote the lyrics for “Mother Sea,” a song from the Studio Ghibli film Ponyo.
Known by many alongside the film, it’s a piece whose lyrics evoke death yet, with a somehow calming melody, resonates deeply in the heart.
Name of LifeHisaishi Joe
“Name of Life” from the film Spirited Away is performed here as a poignant, ephemeral healing piano piece.
In the film it’s known as “One Summer’s Day,” but on the Image Album, Yumi Kimura—famous for “Always With Me”—sings lyrics she wrote to Joe Hisaishi’s melody.
Rendered with a gentle touch, this piece both evokes the scenes from the movie and becomes a healing music that seems to cleanse the listener’s heart.
The interlude arrangement is also wonderful, unfolding a musical drama on the piano that brings tears to your eyes.
