Porco e Bella－Ending－Hisaishi Joe
This piece, which seems to encapsulate the entire film, is the theme song of Porco Rosso, the protagonist—a man whose face has been turned into that of a pig by magic.
His way of life, his friendships, and his battles with rivals have long inspired countless men.
It’s a theme song whose beautiful, valiant melody brings back every one of his lines, emotions, and actions.
Ponyo and SosukeHisaishi Joe
Ponyo ran away from home, sneaking past her father Fujimoto’s watchful eyes.
Unfortunately, she got stuck in a jar, but Sosuke rescued her.
That was Ponyo and Sosuke’s first meeting.
This piece depicts how the story begins from that encounter.
The melody of the film’s theme song, “Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea,” is also included in a charming, lightly accented way.
Ponyo and Sosuke IIHisaishi Joe
Ponyo flies back from the world of the sea to the world on land.
In the pouring rain, she chases after Sosuke, who is riding in Lisa’s car, and reunites with him.
Unlike the last time they met, Ponyo now appears in human form, which leaves Sosuke momentarily puzzled—but he quickly realizes it’s Ponyo! The scene conveys the comfort of their reunion and hints that their story is about to begin anew.
Ponyo’s FlightHisaishi Joe
After Ponyo is taken back by her father, Fujimoto, she bathes in the “Water of Life” in the well inside the Coral Tower to return once more to the human world.
Enveloped in a shower of lights and gradually taking on human form, Ponyo makes her escape as if flying away from the sea world.
This piece was inspired by that image of Ponyo soaring from the ocean realm.
It’s filled with the heart-pounding excitement of taking off from the sea world toward the world above.
Ponyo is coming.Hisaishi Joe
This piece is included on the “Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea Image Album.” It begins with a simple piano melody, and as more instruments gradually join in, the number of notes increases, creating a track that feels both light and spirited yet also weighty.
It conjures up that famous scene where Ponyo, transformed into a human by magic, runs atop the giant waves to go meet Sosuke.

Pop-pop boatHisaishi Joe
A “ponpon boat” is an old-fashioned toy boat that moves using the heat of a candle flame, taking advantage of the expansion that occurs when water turns into steam.
Riding a ponpon boat enlarged by Ponyo’s magic, Ponyo and Sosuke set out on a voyage.
This piece is an arrangement of the main theme “Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea,” and the timbre of the wind instruments even sounds like the ponpon boat itself.
Pokemon OndoKobayashi Sachiko
The fourth ending theme used in the Pokémon anime was “Pokémon Ondo.” It’s sung by Sachiko Kobayashi—an enka singer with deep ties to the Pokémon series—under the name “Kangaskhan Kobayashi,” and it was included as the B-side on the 1998 single “Trade Please.” “Pokémon Ondo” features many Pokémon and is a perfect fit for Bon Odori dances.
If you’re looking to add a fresh track to your Bon Odori music, how about “Pokémon Ondo”?
