Lost ForestYuji Nomi15rank/position

The Lost Woods (from “Whisper of the Heart”)

In the scene where Shizuku is urged on by Baron’s voice, the piece “The Lost Forest” is used.

What kind of impression did this scene leave on you? It’s a grand orchestral composition that deepens the scene’s impact—something like fear, yet somehow different.

If you don’t recall the scene, please watch the film again and listen to the music.

Swaying on the trainYuji Nomi17rank/position

Swaying on the Train (from 'Whisper of the Heart')

As for the music in the scene where Shizuku rides the train, it has a very mysterious and otherworldly feel.

Perhaps it’s because a cat is sitting next to her, but it seems a bit different from the kind of down-to-earth music you’d hear in everyday life.

I imagine this is a memorable scene for you as well, but do take a moment to listen closely to the music that colors the scene.

You might discover something new.

From 'Whisper of the Heart': Let's fly! Catch the updraft!

This is a piece titled “Let’s Fly! Catch the Updraft!” The title comes from a line spoken by Baron, the cat figurine that appears in Whisper of the Heart.

In a slightly mysterious antique shop atop a hill, the protagonist Shizuku discovers Baron.

Whether it’s a dream or reality, Baron takes Shizuku flying through the sky.

Its floating sensation makes listeners feel a gentle sense of wonder.

The boy who makes violinsYuji Nomi19rank/position

The Boy Who Makes Violins (from “Whisper of the Heart”)

From the film “Whisper of the Heart.” This is the piece titled “The Boy Who Makes Violins.” Here he is: Seiji Amasawa, arguably the biggest romantic in all of Ghibli.

At first, Shizuku saw him as nothing but an annoying guy, but she’s inspired by the way he strives straight toward his dream of becoming a violin maker.

This track passionately and artistically expresses Seiji Amasawa’s unexpected side.

convenience storeYuji Nomi20rank/position

Convenience Store (from “Whisper of the Heart”)

This is the piece used in the very beginning of the story, in the scene where Shizuku goes out at night to buy milk.

Since its 1995 release under the title “Convenience Store,” it has depicted convenience stores in a way that feels familiar to everyday life.

The arrangement clearly conveys the nighttime atmosphere, and while it proceeds calmly, its dramatic development makes it a very satisfying track.
