[Ghibli] Popular BGM. Enjoy the world of Ghibli through music!

Studio Ghibli has many popular works, such as My Neighbor Totoro, Castle in the Sky, and Spirited Away.

And just as popular as the films themselves is the background music that plays throughout them! Ghibli’s music is famously composed by Joe Hisaishi, and every piece is truly wonderful.

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.

In this article, we’ll introduce a selection of Ghibli’s most beloved BGMs all at once! Please enjoy the world of Ghibli.

[Ghibli] Popular BGM. Enjoy the world of Ghibli through music! (91–100)

When the cherries ripenKatō Tokiko

It’s the theme song of Porco Rosso.

I love this song.

Kato’s rich yet delicate vocals are striking.

Porco Rosso is often called a Ghibli film for adults, but I think it’s a work that can help you regain a gentle heart.

Listening to the music made me want to watch it again.

Treasure of FlamesŌno Yūji

This is the theme song from The Castle of Cagliostro, the much-loved Lupin the Third × Ghibli collaboration.

The scenery is stunning, and it’s an unforgettable film.

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 vividly to mind.

The Pigeon and the BoyTenkuu no Shiro Laputa

It’s the insert song from Castle in the Sky (Laputa) that everyone has heard and hummed.

I think we all picture Pazu playing it on his trumpet as he faces the beautiful morning sunrise.

The trumpet players in my school’s brass band used to play it too.

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.

Que Sera, Sera (Whatever will be, will be)Yamada-ke no Hitobito & Fujiwara-sensei to Kurasumeeto

This is an insert song from My Neighbors the Yamadas, a Studio Ghibli film adaptation of a very popular four-panel manga.

I was in elementary school when it was released, and I remember going to the theater with my mother to see it.

What struck me about it being a Ghibli work is how beautiful every single scene looks.

If I’m wrapped in kindnessArai Yumi

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

The townscapes, scenery, and food—all are beautiful, and the music is bright and uplifting, which I love.

Decades have passed since its release, but it’s still a song cherished by everyone.

The revolving seasonsmajo no takkyuubin sounyuu ka

This is an insert song from Kiki’s Delivery Service.

It’s a track that brings to mind a lively image of Kiki flying through the sky.

The original novel of Kiki’s Delivery Service is interesting too, but the Ghibli film is especially delightful.

Everything is cute—the house where Kiki lives, the food she eats, and Jiji’s movements.
