Carrying YouInoue Azumi

Azumi Inoue – Carrying You

It’s “Carrying You,” well known from Studio Ghibli’s film Castle in the Sky! This song is sometimes chosen as a piece for choir competitions, too.

Among middle schoolers, almost everyone knows it, right? Some people aren’t confident in singing because they don’t know how to sing like in typical J-pop, and their singing ends up sounding choral.

If that’s you, try choosing a song where that choir-like quality becomes your strength—you’ll be able to sing it perfectly! It’s your unique voice, so pick songs that showcase your best qualities and break out of your shell!
