[Official] Aoi Teshima – Letter to Tomorrow (Theme Song for the Monday 9 PM Drama ‘Someday I Will Surely Cry When I Remember This Love’)

This song was chosen as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Love That Makes You Cry.” It’s a perfect match for the drama’s world.

With a moving mood that blends warmth into its poignancy, it’s a heart-wrenching classic.

The melody is accessible and memorable, and its calm atmosphere and gentle tone make it ideal for a breather after an upbeat karaoke set.

Released in 2016 as Aoi Teshima’s fifth single, it gained popularity among high school girls, helped by its tie-in with the drama.

Teru’s SongTeshima Aoi2rank/position

Aoi Teshima “Teru’s Song (from 10th Anniversary Concert)”

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.

In karaoke, the key is to cherish the lyrics and sing as if speaking to the listener.

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

From Up On Poppy Hill – Breakfast Song (Asagohan no Uta) Morning Breakfast Song

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.”

The theme song from From Up on Poppy Hill.

It’s a gentle song that soaks into the heart, like reading a picture book aloud to a child.

Summer of Goodbye ~From Up on Poppy Hill~ Aoi Teshima

If you’d rather spend a slightly sentimental, more grown-up summer than a lively one, I recommend Aoi Teshima’s “Summer of Goodbye (From Up on Poppy Hill).” Released in 2011, this song was used as the theme for the Studio Ghibli film From Up on Poppy Hill.

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

The lyrics overlay the singer’s emotions onto the summer sea, wind, and living creatures, expressing a hope that, through them, she might someday be able to meet that special someone again.

It’s a song that conveys a woman’s quiet, refined feelings.

Many men are probably fond of Aoi Teshima, whose charm lies in her beautiful, translucent voice.

Her song “Tadaima” is a highly recommended pick for karaoke.

It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Heaven and Hell: Soul Exchange,” which aired until March 2021.

When lyrics told from the perspective of a woman facing a breakup are sung in Teshima’s exquisite voice, a wave of poignancy and loneliness washes over you.

If a woman sings “Tadaima” at karaoke, men will surely be captivated.
