Sometimes, old storiesKatō Tokiko
With its memorable iconic lines, the 1992 Studio Ghibli film Porco Rosso features Tokiko Kato’s “Toki ni wa Mukashi no Hanashi wo” (“Sometimes, Let’s Talk of the Old Days”) over the ending.
Kato also performed the opening song, “Le temps des cerises” (“The Time of Cherries”), and even took part as a voice actor in the film.
Its mature melody and lyrics don’t feel like a typical anime song at first glance, making it a smart, insider pick for karaoke.
Even if full-on anison isn’t really your thing, this track is no problem.
If you want to try singing a more grown-up anime song, why not give this one a shot?
I look up as I walkSakamoto Kyu
Sukiyaki (Ue o Muite Arukou), Kyu Sakamoto’s signature song that everyone has heard at least once, was used as an insert song in Studio Ghibli’s 2011 film From Up on Poppy Hill.
In the movie, the song is heard playing on the television.
Director Hayao Miyazaki apparently had another song in mind, but producer Toshio Suzuki recommended this one.
Its relaxed melody and bittersweet lyrics that resonate with anyone make you stop and listen.
It’s a great pick for karaoke for all genders!
