The theme song from the film Tales from Earthsea, which begins with Aoi Teshima’s a cappella part.

Many listeners were surely captivated by the sheer beauty of her opening voice.

Built on a simple, repeating melody, it’s easy to memorize and a great piece for beginners to tackle.

Once you can play the melodic line beautifully and smoothly, you could say the piece is practically complete! After you’ve firmly mastered the right hand, start adding the left-hand bass notes.

SAKANA-GIRLTaniyama Hiroko23rank/position

SAKANA-GIRL by the female singer-songwriter Hiroko Taniyama.

The lyrics and music are by Taniyama herself, and the song unfolds under the premise that the narrator is the reincarnation of someone who loved fish.

The voice that speaks in time with the steady rhythm is a little unsettling, isn’t it? Yet in truth, she wants you to look at her, to speak to her, and to answer her—but since that’s impossible for a fish, she’ll at least eat it… Perhaps that’s a kind of love, a form of closure.

There’s a hint of resentment as well, but if someone has died, is eating the fish the best thing to do…?
