A ballad with a quiet resonance that embodies the film’s world, its lyrics evoking loneliness and the will to live and reaching deep into the heart.
Known as an insert song for Studio Ghibli’s Tales from Earthsea, this debut single by Aoi Teshima was released in June 2006, with lyrics by Goro Miyazaki and music by Hiroko Taniyama.
It features few flashy developments or sudden leaps in pitch, and its nursery rhyme–like melody is distinctive, making it easy to follow calmly even for those concerned about vocal range.

Rather than forcing your voice, aim for a breathy, intimate delivery like Aoi Teshima’s to bring out the song’s atmosphere.

Here’s a cute song that sings about the steps for making a Japanese breakfast.
The heroine, Umi, runs a boarding house, and it’s her job to prepare breakfast.
Aoi Teshima’s distinctive voice fits it perfectly, doesn’t it? This song was created by Hiroko Taniyama for the 2011 film “From Up on Poppy Hill.” You can really feel Taniyama’s world expanding through it.
Aoi Teshima has been active both as a voice actress and as a singer since the previous Studio Ghibli film, “Tales from Earthsea.”

It was originally a number released by Ryoko Moriyama in 1976.
