Marco and Gina’s ThemeHisaishi Joe99rank/position

"Marco and Gina's Theme" from "Porco Rosso" played by ocha
Marco and Gina’s ThemeHisaishi Joe

A beautiful piece that vividly brings to mind Marco and Gina’s relationship and feelings.

This one is a track from the image album.

While the piece itself isn’t used as-is in the film, many listeners will probably recognize the melody.

There’s a similar piece as the third track on the same album, but the melody is different.

If you’re a Porco Rosso fan, this might be a piece you’ll want to try playing at least once.

Nahoko (Encounter)Hisaishi Joe100rank/position

This is a piece called “Nahoko (Encounter).” The title includes “Encounter,” but it isn’t the cheerful song you might imagine from that.

War and natural disasters—Nahoko and Jiro met in the very midst of a turbulent era.

While everyone was lamenting the misfortunes of the world, the two refused to yield to fate and came together.

It’s a song that reminds us of the importance of our encounters with others.
