When the cherries ripenKatō Tokiko
The song “Le Temps des cerises,” a classic that represents French chanson, was featured as an insert song in the Studio Ghibli film Porco Rosso.
When you listen to it, the scene with Madam Gina singing comes right to mind, doesn’t it? Of course, the original is in French, but there’s a Japanese version as well, so be sure to choose that one when you sing it at karaoke.
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.

It’s a great pick for karaoke for all genders!
