What is love? The heartrendingly beautiful lyrics and melody seep into the heart.

Released as the theme song for the 1979 American film “The Rose,” the song has been covered by many artists.

In Japan, there’s even a Japanese cover titled “Ai wa Hana, Kimi wa Sono Tane” (“Love is a flower, you are its seed”).

The song’s atmosphere matches Aoi Teshima’s simple, pure voice perfectly, so I highly recommend it.

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

A song with a poignant melody in a triple meter and Aoi Teshima’s beautiful voice—truly unforgettable.

Studio Ghibli films have many masterpieces, but this one in particular vividly conjures the scenes of the story and leaves a deep impression.

The arrangement is wonderful as well.

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.

This is my first time listening to this artist, but they have a unique presence that rivals anyone.

If you call it an idol-like voice, it sounds that way; if you say it’s like a classic folk singer, that also makes sense.

It’s a wonderful song that will definitely lift your spirits.

A navy-blue undulationTeshima Aoi15rank/position

This song was written by director Goro Miyazaki and his father, Hayao Miyazaki, based on the poem “To the Students” by the poet Kenji Miyazawa.

It is included in the 2011 album “From Up on Poppy Hill Song Collection,” along with other pieces used in the film.

Does the word “nanakamado” ring a bell for you? Nanakamado is a type of deciduous tall tree in the rose family.

It’s known for leaves that turn a vivid red in autumn and for its cute, bright-red berries.

With that tall tree in mind, please give this piece a listen.

Doesn’t the bouncy melody sound absolutely charming? The lyrics, which describe oneself growing alongside the nanakamado, are sure to make you feel the passage of time—and a touch of bittersweetness.

With love. UmiTeshima Aoi17rank/position

(Viet sub + lyrics) With Love, the Sea – ai wo komete umi
With love. UmiTeshima Aoi

The song “With Love, Umi,” included in the From Up on Poppy Hill song collection, is recognized among fans as a long-distance love song about Kazama, who has gone far away, and Umi, who waits for his return.

Looking at the title and lyrics, you can indeed feel Umi’s unwavering feelings.

It’s a song that makes you hope they trust each other even while apart and walk toward a bright future.

Song of Time (songbook version)Teshima Aoi18rank/position

This is the ending song of Tales from Earthsea.

Its slow, melancholic piano ballad, tinged with hope, is a perfect fit for the film’s ending.

Aoi Teshima’s airy high tones amplify the sense of wistfulness.

Don’t the lyrics, which liken life to a journey, feel literary and thought-provoking? It’s a highly recommended track that teaches you both the bitter and the sweet.

This one has a mystical singing voice that makes you want to keep listening.

The relaxed melody and quiet, simple sound are incredibly pleasant to the ears! Like Tales from Earthsea with its serious atmosphere, this track also feels mysterious in its own way.

It’s the kind of song that lets you sink into a nostalgic mood, like walking through an empty town at dusk.

Be sure to pay attention to the lonely lyrics about being all alone, too.

Original songTeshima Aoi20rank/position

Rikako Yagi is shining in both her modeling and acting careers.

She truly stood out in the Pocari Sweat commercial, perfectly matching the brand’s image.

Her appearance in Takasago Thermal Engineering’s “Environmental Creators” commercial is also unmissable.

The company’s culture of creating invisible air pairs beautifully with her translucent presence.

The BGM features Aoi Teshima, known for singing numerous Ghibli songs.

I think her clear, pure voice is indispensable to this CM as well.

The song is said to be an original track created specifically for the Takasago Thermal CM.
