![Ghibli Medley [Piano]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GA-AQ2snowA/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.
Arrietty’s SongCecile Corbel
This is the theme song of Goro Miyazaki’s film “The Secret World of Arrietty.” You can’t help but be captivated by the beautiful singing voice.
It’s a calming track that makes you want to keep listening.
The Pigeon and the BoyHisaishi Joe

This is an insert song from Laputa: Castle in the Sky that surely everyone has hummed at least once.
It brings to mind the scene where Pazu plays the trumpet toward the beautiful sunrise.
If you’re a trumpet player, you’ve probably tried playing it yourself.
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!
Carrying YouInoue Azumi
This is the theme song from Castle in the Sky.
I bet many of you sang it in a school choir.
When you listen to it, you can picture that ending where Laputa flies off toward space, right?
Treasure of FlamesŌno Yūji

It’s the theme song from Lupin the Third—everyone’s favorite—and the Ghibli-collaboration film The Castle of Cagliostro.
The scenery is so beautiful that it’s an unforgettable work.
I first saw it when I was under six years old, but even now the music and visuals are so striking that the scenes still come to mind.
Nausicaä of the Valley of the WindYasuda Narumi

This is the theme song of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
A warm piece that closes a dramatic and grand film.
You can listen at a leisurely pace and relax.
How about listening to it while recalling the film’s iconic scenes?
