THE WIND RISES The Wind Rises — from the film “The Wind Rises”

This one also has a nostalgic feel that brings to mind scenes from a movie.

It’s sweet and bittersweet, and I find myself wanting to listen to it over and over.

With the imagery from the film in mind, every time I hear the music I can’t help but think of it, and the tears naturally start to flow.

I want to listen to it again.

This one is easy to listen to and has turned into really great music.

This version is also one of my favorites.

It’s a cool piece of classical music that I really like.

It reminded me of the movie scenes and made me watch Princess Mononoke again without thinking.

This one also has a wonderful atmosphere and has turned out to be a lovely piece.

It’s a song I love—I watched the movie many times and was captivated by the music.

I adore the melody that makes you want to keep listening forever.

It has become a work that makes the xylophone feel incredibly cool.

Kenshi Yonezu – Spinning Globe

A song crafted by Kenshi Yonezu as the theme for Hayao Miyazaki’s film “The Boy and the Heron,” which delicately portrays life from birth and growth to parting.

Released in July 2023, the film is accompanied by a warm, gentle melody that feels as if it tenderly watches over the growth of a human being born with infinite potential.

After receiving direct guidance from Director Miyazaki and working from five books’ worth of storyboards, Yonezu created this painstaking work whose lyrics, offering a panoramic view of the world and probing the meaning of life, harmonize beautifully with the film’s themes.

Both the piece itself and its creation process convey Yonezu’s deep respect for Miyazaki.

It’s a recommended song for those at a crossroads in life or anyone wishing to reflect on their own way of living.

The music video was filmed on Yakushima, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, and its striking visuals brim with lush nature and the vitality of life.

This is an insert song from Porco Rosso performed by Joe Hisaishi.

It’s a track with a grown-up atmosphere.

I feel that Porco Rosso has a mysterious effect of making you remember your distant hometown as you watch it.

Widely recognized as part of the film’s soundtrack, this track is perfect not only for movie fans but also for anyone seeking a quiet environment to focus.

This is a piece from Howl’s Moving Castle.

The film also made headlines for casting Takuya Kimura as the voice of Howl.

Many people surely remember the interactions between the darkness-bearing Howl and the pure-hearted heroine, the beautiful scenery, and the exquisite music.
