Azumi Inoue’s “Sanpo,” the signature song from Studio Ghibli’s emblematic film My Neighbor Totoro, is performed here with orchestra and chorus.

The footage is from “Joe Hisaishi in Budokan: 25 Years with the Animations of Hayao Miyazaki,” featuring numerous Ghibli masterpieces arranged and conducted by Joe Hisaishi himself.

The live texture of the orchestra is truly wonderful.

This piece was previously arranged for “Orchestra Stories: My Neighbor Totoro,” which includes a narrated performance—highly recommended as well.

Like an instrument introduction, it features sections where only the woodwinds or only the brass play, as well as sections for strings and percussion, plus solo passages, making it an arrangement that showcases the orchestra’s appeal.

It’s also recommended as an introductory piece for those new to orchestral music.

This is a track by the Tokyo-born rock band Young Skinny.

Set in the real-life neighborhood of Sangenjaya, it portrays the ordinary days of a stubborn, self-indulgent man and his girlfriend.

The music video, which even features actual restaurants, further enhances that everyday atmosphere in a memorable way.

Released in July 2025, the song also serves as a new live anthem for the band following their album “BOY & GIRLS.” While this work has no tie-in, the band has a strong track record, including appearances on programs like “King’s Brunch.” This tender story unfolding in a corner of Tokyo is a gem that listeners who cherish time with their partners will especially appreciate.
