Many of the tracks are so memorable that some people can tell exactly which scene from which film it is just by hearing the BGM.

![Ghibli Medley [Piano]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sizkZq0rsvo/sddefault.jpg)
This is a medley of beloved Studio Ghibli classics, with gentle piano tones that resonate in the heart.
Its beautiful melodies warmly embrace the listener.
With a relaxed tempo that creates a soothing atmosphere, it’s perfect for unwinding.
The song list appeals to both newcomers to the world of Ghibli and longtime fans.
Another highlight is the chance to enjoy music from a wide range of masterpieces, from Castle in the Sky (1986) to The Wind Rises (2013).
It’s a piece that sounds pleasant in many settings, such as morning background music or a relaxing time before bed.
Become the windtsuji ayano

It’s the theme song of The Cat Returns.
It’s an uplifting track wrapped in Ayano Tsuji’s cute, charming vocals.
It delivers a positive message that says, “I’ll always be by your side.” The film features lots of adorable cats and is highly recommended.
Tatara Songeboshi

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.

Aerial strollHauru no Ugoku Shiro Sounyūka

It’s a piece that lets you imagine Howl’s unique world.
I love Sophie’s humanity, and I went to see Howl’s Moving Castle in the theater twice.
The melody somehow brings back the past, and it becomes a song that conjures up scenes of Howl.
Fine On The OutsidePurishira Aan

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.
In this city in AsiaJōjō Taihūn

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.
Kiki’s Delivery Service: Original Soundtrack Music CollectionHisaishi Joe

Speaking of Ghibli films, Joe Hisaishi’s music is inseparable from them.
Whenever we recall Ghibli masterpieces that continue to be loved across generations, many of us can’t help but hum the melodies of Hisaishi’s wonderful scores.
Every Ghibli soundtrack he composed is a classic, making it extremely difficult to pick just one, but in this article I’d like to introduce the soundtrack to Kiki’s Delivery Service, released in 1989.
While Yumi Matsutoya’s opening theme “Rouge no Dengon” and ending theme “Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta Nara” are well known, the soundtrack itself is also truly outstanding.
Reflecting the film’s richly European atmosphere, it employs European instruments such as the dulcimer—a folk instrument that is a forerunner of the piano—along with guitar and accordion, and features many dance-like pieces in waltz rhythm.
Simply listening conjures up vivid images of unfamiliar, foreign European landscapes.
Of course, it’s delightful as a film soundtrack, but it also seems perfect as background music for an afternoon tea time!
