Always With MeKimura Yumi
Until Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba broke the record, Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away had held the number-one spot for highest box office revenue in Japan for about 20 years after its theatrical release.
Its theme song, Always With Me—performed by soprano Yumi Kimura while playing a lyre—attracted major attention along with the film.
You can’t help but be drawn in by the crystal-clear, almost angelic vocals and melody, as well as the lyrics that evoke a deep connection to the story’s themes.
It’s a song that many people have heard at least once, making it a lifesaver when you’re stuck choosing music.
Princess MononokeMera Yoshikazu
This is the theme song from Princess Mononoke.
Where does such a beautiful melody that adorns the story come from, I wonder? It’s a gentle ballad, widely known, and a song that draws everyone in.
It might be a bit challenging for male singers, but by all means, try using falsetto and give it a go!
Someone at any timeJōjō Taihūn
In addition to being the ending theme for the 1994 film Pom Poko, this song was also used as the theme song for the movie The Family Game 2 (Yonigeya Honpo 2).
Pom Poko is about tanuki (raccoon dogs) in the Heisei era who use their wits to oppose and stop the development of the Tama New Town area.
It’s a very catchy piece with a distinctly Japanese feel.
When it plays at the end, it gives you a surge of courage.
If you’re feeling down, try singing this song!
Nausicaä of the Valley of the WindYasuda Narumi
Known as Narumi Yasuda’s debut single, this song was adopted as the symbolic theme song for Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, which is considered a masterpiece among Ghibli films.
Although it wasn’t used in the movie itself due to feeling a bit different from the actual animation, the song was frequently played in various contexts.
The moment when the major-key song suddenly shifts to minor during the chorus is particularly striking.
Composed by Haruomi Hosono with lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto.
Many people probably feel like they’d like to try singing it.
Name of LifeKimura Yumi
This is the main theme of Spirited Away, included on the image album.
Although there’s no singing in the film itself, many people will likely recognize the melody.
When lyrics are set to that melody, I think you’ll discover a new kind of charm.
You might find it surprisingly easy to sing, so give it a try at karaoke!
nursery rhymeTakahata Isao
In The Tale of The Princess Kaguya, released in 2013, both Warabeuta (Children’s Song) and The Celestial Maiden’s Song were written—lyrics and music—by the director, Isao Takahata, himself.
The lyrics sound as if they’re truly the kinds of songs children once sang on street corners.
That said, it’s interesting that small children are singing about death.
The melodies are simple yet unforgettable—after one or two listens they seem to whirl around in your head.
They’re rich, evocative songs that are perfect for singing together as a family.

I stopped being alone.Yano Akiko
Akiko Yano’s “Hitoribocchi wa Yameta,” with its distinctive piano and conversational vocals that sink into the heart, is a very warm song filled with a positive resolve to cut ties with loneliness and connect with the people who matter.
Released as a single in July 1999, it was chosen as the theme song for Studio Ghibli’s film “My Neighbors the Yamadas.” It was also included on the album “Go Girl,” released the same year.
Alongside the film’s gentle atmosphere, this classic reminds us of the preciousness of everyday life.
The vocal range isn’t very wide, and the melody flows like casual speech, so even those who aren’t confident in their singing can relax and enjoy it.
Hum it when you’re feeling lonely or need courage, and you’ll likely feel your heart grow lighter!
