Sea of clouds in the moonlightHisaishi Joe
Here’s one I’d love you to listen to on a cloudy night when the moon is visible.
The piano, with its beautifully bright tone, is wonderfully unhurried and a delight to the ears.
It’s a very dreamy piece that perfectly fits the title “Sea of Clouds in Moonlight.” It’ll make you feel as if you’re flying through a sky bathed in moonlight.
The more you listen, the more you can almost see the moonlit clouds spreading out before you, don’t you think?
Flight on a Moonlit NightHisaishi Joe
This piece is the music from the scene where Satsuki and Mei ride Totoro and fly through the night sky.
That slightly mysterious, thrilling moment that feels like a secret just for children is a dreamlike, unforgettable scene even when you grow up.
This track features an outstanding arrangement that captures that moment in a fun, light, and slightly mystical way—music that feels like it could bring good dreams anytime.
gust of windHisaishi Joe
“Gust of Wind” is a track included on the image album for Kiki’s Delivery Service.
Like “Seaside Date,” it wasn’t included on the soundtrack collection and went unused in the film.
Just listening to the piece, don’t you feel a bit compelled to brace yourself, as if some sort of difficulty lies ahead? If it were used in the movie, I think it would fit a scene of Kiki flying through a storm.
It’s a super cool piece that I’d love to hear performed live.
TSUBOMIKyūshūdan
I used to listen to this song by Kyushu Danji in the early summer of my senior year of high school.
On the train to school, still sleepy, I’d listen to Kyushu Danji to try to get myself motivated.
It’s not really an upbeat, encouraging kind of song, though.
I still like it and listen to it often even now.
Tsugaru Tanto-bushiHideaki Kameya
Originally, the “Akita Tanto Bushi” was brought to Tsugaru and became the “Tsugaru Tanto Bushi.” It is said to be a song that originated from a part of the Senboku region’s folk performing art “Bangaku,” specifically from a dance segment that mimics striking straw.
Unlike Tsugaru folk songs, Akita folk songs have a lively feel; this piece is characterized by frequent embellishments and wide melodic leaps.
As shown in this video, the Tsugaru shamisen is sometimes performed on the street or in places like izakaya pubs.
cold waterNishi Masato
An emotional song filled with deep love and gratitude for a mother has arrived from Masato Futashi.
The vivid scene-setting that begins on a cold winter morning—with fingertips touching icy water—is especially striking.
Through the image of cold water, memories resurface of a mother’s warmth and devotion: her tireless housework, hot meals, and the times she held your hand.
This first release since his move to Nippon Crown is set for November 2024.
Its lyrical words and emotional melody are sure to resonate deeply with listeners.
It’s a recommended track for those who carry thoughts of their mothers in their hearts and for anyone who cherishes family bonds.
