It served as the theme song for the film The Cat Returns, and its relaxed, light melody and ukulele tones make it a very pleasant track.

It’s easy to sing and easy to listen to, and is a classic karaoke staple.

Even people who haven’t seen the movie will find the melody familiar, and since it’s a song many can sing, it’s sure to liven up any karaoke session.

Kiki's Delivery Service

The revolving seasonsInoue Azumi

This is a magnificent piece used in Kiki’s Delivery Service, with exquisitely layered strings.

As you become entranced by the intro, the song’s opening unfolds with a melody so beautiful and noble that it overwhelms you.

Though the accompaniment and vocals are powerful, there’s a certain loneliness to it as well, which seems to perfectly match Kiki’s feelings as she leaves home to work on her own.

Pom Poko

Someone at any timeJōjō Taihūn

Shang Shang Typhoon “Whenever Someone Is There” ~Let’s Go, Japan! Everyone’s Cheer Song ♪~
Someone at any timeJōjō Taihūn

This is the ending theme of Pom Poko.

It’s a popular work, with many fans saying, “I watch this movie when I’m feeling down!” The song has a very upbeat tempo, and the festival-style Japanese rhythms make it a lot of fun.

It’s guaranteed to be a hit at karaoke!

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is a Studio Ghibli film produced from a manga directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

The song chosen as the film’s signature theme when it premiered in 1984 was Yasuda Narumi’s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, which shares the movie’s title.

Her clear, pure vocals are striking, conjuring images of Nausicaä flying through the sky.

Although the anime’s title appears in the lyrics, the song has the feel of a traditional kayōkyoku pop ballad rather than a typical anime song.

It’s a great pick when you want to include an anison that brings a slightly different vibe.

Even those who haven’t seen the film can feel its mysterious atmosphere and be drawn into its world.

From Up on Poppy Hill

When I was in my first loveTeshima Aoi

This song, used as an insert track in From Up on Poppy Hill, is a heart-fluttering tune that, just as the title suggests, depicts the fresh feelings of first love.

Although it’s sung as something in the past, singing it in front of someone you like might just get your feelings across.

Highly recommended!

From Up on Poppy Hill

I look up as I walkSakamoto Kyu

Walk, Looking Up – 'Sukiyaki' – Kyu Sakamoto (Sakamoto Kyu) 1961.avi
I look up as I walkSakamoto Kyu

A signature song by Kyu Sakamoto and a classic that everyone has heard at least once, “Ue o Muite Arukou.” It 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.

Although director Hayao Miyazaki apparently had a different song in mind, producer Toshio Suzuki is said to have recommended this one.

Its gentle melody and poignantly resonant lyrics naturally draw you in.

It’s a great karaoke choice for anyone, regardless of gender!
