For some reason, I pictured a girl listening to this song on a long-distance bus.

She doesn’t know how to deal with her feelings of love—her emotions are lost…

The lyrics about loving someone even though you know they don’t see you are heartbreakingly poignant.

Yuuka Ueno’s vocal delivery is also remarkable, as if she’s stringing that sorrow together with her breath.

Keisuke Nakagawa, the bassist of Mr.Children—one of Japan’s most iconic bands—was born in Nagasaki Prefecture.

Fans affectionately call him “Nakakē.” He often favors Fender Jazz Basses, and his supportive, song-centric bass playing is widely appreciated.

On stage, his aggressive expressions and intense performance style are incredibly compelling.

His changing hairstyles also draw attention, and his good looks have earned him an especially dedicated fan base.

In his private life, he’s known as a baseball enthusiast and Hanshin Tigers fan, and his connections through baseball—such as with Hanshin alumnus Shinjiro Hiyama—are also well known.

A mellow love song, “Close Your Eyes for a Little Excursion,” is also recommended.

It’s a track included on their third album, Fantasy (Fantasia).

The lyrics are notably rich in metaphor, depicting a woman looking back on her past memories.

Try singing it while letting your imagination wander about what kind of feelings are being expressed.

Overall, it has a relaxed vibe with few high notes or intense sections, so I think it’s easy to sing.

Mei Is Missing ~from My Neighbor Totoro~ Piano
Mei is not here.Hisaishi Joe

This is the piece for the very sad and difficult “Mei Is Missing” scene in the story.

The mournful melody perfectly conveys the deep concern felt by Satsuki, Granny, and everyone in the village.

As evening falls, the melody carries the intense anxiety leading up to nightfall—every time I hear it, it brings me to tears.

It’s a beautiful theme song imbued with everyone’s prayers for her safety.

This charming, mysterious, and grandly arranged piece is themed around the familiar Susuwatari, also known as “Makkuro Kurosuke.” They’re the first strange creatures Mei encounters after moving, and they also appear in Spirited Away—beloved little black beings essential to the world of Ghibli.

This song captures their quirky, enigmatic nature.

Battle between a Möwe and a CorvetteHisaishi Joe

The Battle between Mehve and Corvette (from ‘Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind’)
Battle between a Möwe and a CorvetteHisaishi Joe

Möwe is the name of the flying device that Nausicaä rides.

In German, it means seagull.

Many people probably admired Nausicaä as she stretched out her legs, glided through the vast sky on the Möwe, and rode the wind.

Corvette is likewise the name of an aircraft that appears in the film.

It has four wings and a distinctive shape with pointed tips.

This is the background music used in the battle scene featuring the Möwe and the Corvette.
