  Ghibli features' song lyricsPost Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Search for Posts by Azhur Report Post to a Moderator        IP Address Go to the top of this page

I can recall that at least Spirited Away (Always with me / Itsumo Nando Demo), Laputa (Kimi O Nosete), Porco Rosso (Toki Ni Wa Mukashi Hanashi O) and Kiki (Yashasisha Ni Tsutsumarete Nara) had a vocaled ending song. I'm not so sure of the following:

- Mononokehime
- Nausicaä
- Howl's Moving Castle
- Totoro
- Whisper of the Heart
- Grave of the Fireflies

???

It would be also interesting to see every Ghibli features' lyrics in comparison. The first one to see is SA's Always with Me.

Nausicaa.net:

Always with Me

Somewhere, a voice calls, in the depths of my heart
May I always be dreaming, the dreams that move my heart

So many tears of sadness, uncountable through and through
I know on the other side of them I'll find you

Everytime we fall down to the ground we look up to the blue sky above
We wake to it's blueness, as for the first time

Though the road is long and lonely and the end far away, out of sight
I can with these two arms embrace the light

As I bid farewell my heart stops, in tenderness I feel
My silent empty body begins to listen to what is real

The wonder of living, the wonder of dying
The wind, town, and flowers, we all dance one unity

Somewhere a voice calls in the depths of my heart
keep dreaming your dreams, don't ever let them part

Why speak of all your sadness or of life's painfull woes
Instead let the same lips sing a gentle song for you

The whispering voice, we never want to forget,
in each passing memory always there to guide you

When a miror has been broken, shattered pieces scattered on the ground
Glimpses of new life, reflected all around

Window of beginning, stillness, new light of the dawn
Let my silent, empty body be filled and reborn

No need to search outside, nor sail across the sea
Cause here shining inside me, it's right here inside me

I've found a brightness, it's always with me


Particularly the words touched Miyazaki, which clearly described Chichiro's loneliness. It seems that the usage of symbolic messages is commonly used in Studio Ghibli's works. That's of course a no-brainer, since Ghibli's works are worthy for these kinds of songs.

Almost all the Ghibli films have the ending vocals. Sometimes they are the repetition of the opening songs. And in some of the earlier works there are more than one vocals in each movie.

Nausicaa - nil
Laputa - Kimi wo nosete
Hotaru - nil (/Home Sweet Home?)
Totoro - open: Sampo; end: Tonari no Totoro
Kiki - open: Ryuuju no Dengon; end: Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta nara
Omohide - end: Ai ha Hana, Kimi ha sono Tane
Porco - mid: Sakuranbo no Minoru Koro; end: Toki ni ha Mukashi no Hanashi wo
Umi - end: Umi ni Naretara
PomPoko - Ajia no Kono Machi de; Itsu demo Dareka ga
Whisper - Country Road (open: English version; end: Japanese version)
On Your Mark
Mononoke - Mononoke Hime
Yamada - Hitoribocchi ha Yameta
Sen - Itsumo Nando demo
Neko - Kaze ni Naru
Howl - Sekai no Yakushoku

And here is the lyrics of Mononoke Hime:


Haritsumeta yumi no furueru tsuru yo
The trembling string of a taut bow

Tsuki no hikari ni zawameku omae no kokoro
Your heart is unsettled by the moonlight

Togisumasareta yaiba no utsukushii
The beauty of a sharpened blade

Sono kissaki ni yoku nita sonata no yokogao
Your silhouette, like its keen point

Kanashimi to ikari ni hisomu
The sorrow and anguish

Makoto no kokoro o shiru wa
that your naked heart hides behind

Mori no sei
Only the spirits of the forest know

Mononoke-tachi dake
Only the Mononoke


The lyrics of the earlier songs are even written by Miyazaki, like Kimi wo no sete, Sampo and Tonari no Totoro. In Totoro he wrote a whole lot of songs, while only two were used in the movie. Some of them are still used nowadays, like Chiisana Shashin, used in the Ghibli-produced Japanese Housefood commercial. In Kiki, Miyazaki finally cannot resist to add the songs of his favourite singer (Yumi Arai), and abandoned the fantastic song of Meguru Kisetsu sang by Azumi Inoue (the singer of Kimi wo nosete). Even so, the "theme song" on the maxisingle disc of Kiki is this one instead of any from the movie. Meguru Kisetsu is really quite a match with Kimi wo nosete to be the best Ghibli song should it be included in the movie, and is still one of my favourites.

Ever since Porco, Miyazaki has been considering the feeling of the songs when he makes decision on the selection of the ending vocals. Tokiko Kato, the singer of both vocals in Porco, was a famous chanteuse, and suits the character of Gina, and the atmosphere of the movie very well. Yoshikazu Mera, the singer of Mononoke, is a famous world counter-tenor. It was said that Miyazaki heard his voice on the radio for once, and immediately decided to invite him to sing the song of Mononoke

as you know, in Nausicaa, there are neither Opening vocals nor ending vocals.
but, there is an image song. it was used in TV-CM of the movie at the previous of release.
here is the lyrics of Kaze no tani no Nausicaa.

kin iro no hanabira chirashite
furimukeba mabayui sougen
kumoma kara hikari ga saseba
karada goto chuu ni ukabuno

yasashisa wa mienai tsubasane
tooku kara anata ga yonderu
aishiau hito wa dare demo
tobikata o shitte iru monoyo

kaze no tani no Nausicaa kami o karuku nabikase
kaze no tani no Nausicaa nemuru mori o tobikoe
aozora kara mai oritara
yasashiku tukamaete

hana ya ki ya kotori no kotoba o
anata nimo oshiete agetai
naze hito wa kizutuke auno
shiawase ni koishi o nagete

kaze no tani no Nausicaa shiroi kiri ga haretara
kaze no tani no Nausicaa te to te kataku nigitte
daichi kette tobi tatu noyo
harukana chiheisen

kaze no tani no Nausicaa nemuru mori o tobikoe
aozora kara mai oritara
yasashiku dakishimete

Here is the image song of Kiki, Meguru Kisetsu. Not really a well-known piece of Azumi Inoue, but probably one of her best.

Talking about the Nausicaa image song, is it the one sang by Narumi Yasuda (安田成美)? I heard sometime ago that there was a "Miss Nausicaa" contest. Yasuda won, and was chose to be the singer of the song. But the song was not all that good and was not used in the movie.




Meguru Kisetsu
"MAJO NO TAKKYUUBIN"


Usubeni Hana keshiki Setsunasa o shitta haru
Hakanaku Shitte yuku Kaze no yubisaki furete
Shizukani Mieru nami Mabushi sugiru natsu no hi
Kokoro no Kaikan de Shiroku kudakete itta

Sugi yuku kisetsu no hate ni Tatazumu hito wa dare na no?
Yureru omoi Jibun o daki shimeta no Hitori

Ashita wa Donna hi ni Houzue no madobe kara
Katachi no Nai yume o Kitto mitsuke ni yukou

Iro zuku Machi yukeba Dareka ni aitai aki
Yasashiku Nare souna Yuugure no samishisa yo
Kogoeta Te no hira de Tokete yuku konayuki wa
Namida ni Yoku niteta Nukumori ni deau fuyu

Shiawase o sagasu hito ga Ichiban shiawase datte
Meguru kisetsu Omoide ni kae nagara Futari

Ashita wa Donna kaze Aruki dasu madobe kara
Mou sugu Miete kuru Yume o watatte yukou



めぐる季節


薄紅 花景色 せつなさを知った春
はかなく散っれゆく 風の指先ふれて
静かに見える波 まぶしすぎる夏の日
心の海岸で白く砕けていった

過ぎゆく季節の果てに たたずむ人は誰なの?
ゆれる想い 自分をだきしめたの ひとり

明日はどんな日に 頬づえの窓辺から
かたちのない夢をきっと見つけにゆこう

色づく街ゆけば 誰かに逢いたい秋
やさしくなれそうな夕暮れのさみしさよ
凍えた手のひらで とけてゆく粉雪は
涙によく似てた ぬくもりに出会う冬

幸せを探す人が 一番幸せだって
めぐる季節 想い出に変えながら ふたり

明日はどんな風 歩きだす窓辺から
もうすぐ見えてくる夢を渡ってゆこう


歌:吉元由美
作曲/編曲:久石譲
歌:井上あずみ

If you need to know a song for each movie of Ghibli (until Mononoke only) there's a CD titled "20 Years of Studio Ghibli" i believe.... it has collection from Nausicaa to Mononoke.... but only the theme songs, including "On Your Mark" if you ask me the detail about this CD... sorry.. i happen only to have the mp3 version (illegal) so i dont know the cover or any infos about the disc.

Maybe the lyrics included inside the CD booklet... otherwise... buy the original Japanese or other asian version of Ghibli's DVD, it should have lyrics on Japanese subtitles for impaired person.

It is called "Studio Ghibli Songs," which covers the image song of Nausicaa, and the theme songs from Laputa to Mononoke. The re-release added the Yamada theme song. It has a very nice full-colour booklet with the lyrics and pictures of the songs and the movies. Btw the Kiki theme song is the full version, instead of the cut version in the Kiki OST.

Is it a typo for Hisashi to be Jou Hisashi instead of Joe?

The Japanese pronounciation of 久石譲 is Hisaishi Jou, so it is not exactly a typo. But his "official" name is Joe Hisaishi. Anyway, even the name 久石譲 itself is not a real name. It is indeed the "Japanized" version of an English name, Quincy Jones.

let me supplement a little.
"久" = hisa "石" = ishi "譲"= joe
you can pronounce "久" as "ku" or "que".
Quincy Jones --> ku-ishi-joe --> "久石譲"
OK?

ON YOUR MARK
Lyrics & Music: Ryo Aska
Arrangement: Sawachika Taisuke
Translation by Aardvark Anime Concerts

Soshite bokurawa itsumo no egaoto sugatade
And we, with smiles on our faces, Brush the dust off of our clothes
Hokorini mamireta fukuo haratta
If our hands should let go, it would not make a sound

Konote wo hanaseba otosae tatenai
A coin dropped, Noiselessly
Ochiteyuku koinwa nidoto kaeranai
Never to return

Kimi to boku narande
You and me, side by side
Yoakeo oinuitemitai jitensha
Racing the dawn on our bicycles

On Your Mark itsumo
On Your Mark, let's go
Hashiri daseba. Hayarino kaze ni yarareta
I always seem to catch the flu that's going around

On Your Mark bokura ga soredemo yamenainowa
On Your Mark We'll never quit
Yumeno shamen miagete ikesohna kigasurukara
We look up the hill of dreams, The crest in in sight

Soshite bokura wa kokoro no, chiisana akichide
And then, In the empty spaces of our hearts
Taganii furiotoshita kotobano yudachi
Shooting each other with a hail of words

Kimi to boku subeteo
We can't say the right thing
Mitomete shimauni wa mada wakasugiru
Like telling time, on a clock with invisible hands,
we're too young to appriciate it, much to our chagrin

On Your Mark itsumo
On Your Mark, let's go
Hashiri daseba. Hayarino kaze ni yarareta
I always seem to catch the flu that's going around

On Your Mark bokura ga soredemo yamenainowa
On Your Mark We'll never quit
Yumeno shamen miagete ikesohna kigasurukara
We look up the hill of dreams, The crest in in sight

Soshite bokura wa
And Then

On Your Mark, itsumo
On Your Mark, let's go
Hashiri daseba hayarino kaze ni yarareta
I always catch the flu that's going around

On Your Mark bokura ga soredemo yamenaino wa
On Your Mark We can't lose this one
Yumenoshamen miagete ikesohna kigasurukara
Because our hearts are called together as one

On Your Mark

Get, Set, Go

Soshite bokurawa
And Then........

Here's another

(Anime) Neko no Ongaeshi: kaze ni naru (To become wind)

Theme Song

wasure te ita me o toji te tori modose koi no uta
aozora ni kakure te iru te o nobashi te mou ichido
Close the eyes of forgotten, go get the song of love back
Hidden in the blue sky, stretch your hand once more

wasurenai de sugu soba ni boku ga iru itsuno hi mo
hoshizora o nagame te iru hitori kiri no yoake mo
Don't forget that soon I'll be beside you whenever
Gazing at the starry sky, also the lonely dawn

tatte hitotsu no kokoro kanashimi ni kure nai de
kimi no tame iki nante haru kaze ni kae te yaru
The one and only heart, don't give it to sadness
Even your sigh, I can change it into the spring breeze

hi no ataru saka michi o jitensha de kake noboru
kimi to naku shita omoide nose te yuku yo
Riding a bicycle up through the sunny slope
I'll give a ride to those memories I have lost with you

LALALALA kuchi zusamu kuchibiru o some te yuku
kimi to mitsuke ta shiawase hana no youni
LALALALA humming, I'll stain my lips
The happiness I've found with you is like a flower

wasure te ita mado akete hashiri dase koi no uta
aozora ni taku shite iru te o gaza shite mou ichido
Open the window of forgotten, song of love run away
Entrusted in the blue sky, lift up your hands once more

wasure nai yo sugu soba ni kimi ga iru itsu no hi mo
hoshizora ni kaga yai te iru namida yureru ashita mo
I won't forget that you'll soon be beside me whenever
Sparkling in the starry sky, also tomorrow trembled by tears

tatta hitotsu no kotoba kono mune ni daki shimete
kimi no tame boku wa ima haru kaze ni fukare teru
The one and only word, embrace in this chest
For you I am now being blowed by the spring's breeze

hi no ataru saka michi o jitensha de kake noboru
kimi to chikatta yakusoku nose te yuku yo
Riding a bicycle up to the sunny slope
I'll give a ride to the promise I have made with you

LALALALA kuchi zusamu kuchibiru o some te yuku
kimi to deaeta shiawase inoru youni
LALALALA humming, I'll stain my lips
I'll pray for the happiness that I have met you

hi no ataru sakamichi o jitensha de kake noboru
kimi to chikatta yakusoku nose te yuku yo
Riding a bicycle up to the sunny slope
I'll give a ride to the promise I have made with you

LALALALA kuchizusamu kuchibiru o some te yuku
kimi to deaeta shiawase inoru youni
kimi yo deaeta shiawase inoru youni
LALALALA humming, I'll stain my lips
I'll pray for the happiness that I have met you
I'll pray for the happiness that I have met you

AM I DOING THIS RIGHT??? THIS IS MY FIRST THREAD.

Hi everyone...My name's Sama
i found this on a page where some students and a teacher talked about the differences between nausicaä and The Angel from the Cage & Aska's On your mark...

http://utd500.utdallas.edu/~hairston/nau...cture_3_p1.html

i hope you like it...i realy don't care about the texts...i love the music and pictures ofcrse and the song's about nausicaäs return at a diffrent time and place (right )

Then we are there with our smile and form as usual. And we brush away dust.
As we let a coin go out of my hand, it fall without clink. And we cannot catch it never again.
I will try to overtake the dawn with you by our bicycles.

On your mark.
Whenever we start on, we always catch a prevalent cold.
On your mark.
The reason we don't give up is that we feel we can go up the slope to lead our hope.

Then we talk out together, like the words shower fall to our blank space in our minds.
It is an answer that we do not answer.
It is finding a time to see the face of a clock without hands.
We are too young to appreciate all of together.

On your mark.
Whenever we start on, we always catch a prevalent cold.
On your mark.
The reason we don't lose it, is to encourage together to point toward our heart of hopes.
Then we are..

On your mark.
Whenever we start on, we always catch a prevalent cold.
On your mark.
The reason we don't give up is that we feel we can go up the slope to lead our hope.
On your mark.
Whenever we start on, we always catch a prevalent cold.
On your mark.
The reason we don't lose it, is to encourage together to point toward our heart of hopes.
Then, where we will go?


Nausicaa.net:

Always with Me

Somewhere, a voice calls, in the depths of my heart
May I always be dreaming, the dreams that move my heart

So many tears of sadness, uncountable through and through
I know on the other side of them I'll find you

Everytime we fall down to the ground we look up to the blue sky above
We wake to it's blueness, as for the first time

Though the road is long and lonely and the end far away, out of sight
I can with these two arms embrace the light

As I bid farewell my heart stops, in tenderness I feel
My silent empty body begins to listen to what is real

The wonder of living, the wonder of dying
The wind, town, and flowers, we all dance one unity

Somewhere a voice calls in the depths of my heart
keep dreaming your dreams, don't ever let them part

Why speak of all your sadness or of life's painfull woes
Instead let the same lips sing a gentle song for you

The whispering voice, we never want to forget,
in each passing memory always there to guide you

When a miror has been broken, shattered pieces scattered on the ground
Glimpses of new life, reflected all around

Window of beginning, stillness, new light of the dawn
Let my silent, empty body be filled and reborn

No need to search outside, nor sail across the sea
Cause here shining inside me, it's right here inside me

I've found a brightness, it's always with me


Particularly the words touched Miyazaki, which clearly described Chichiro's loneliness. It seems that the usage of symbolic messages is commonly used in Studio Ghibli's works. That's of course a no-brainer, since Ghibli's works are worthy for these kinds of songs.

Hi Sama the Ghost, welcome for joining us . I wonder how can a ghost use a computer? Wouldn't your fingers go right through the keyboard when you try to hit the keys?

The angel (or the winged girl) of On Your Mark and Nausicaa is really quite an interesting comparison. Both have a lot of similarities, but also some significant differences. One of them is that the girl is quite passive indeed (except for her attempt of grasping the cops when falling onto the ground), which is very different from most other Miyazaki girls.

For the song of Spirited Away (Always with me), it is said that the song was not originally written for Chihiro's story. I think Miyazaki had initially wanted to create a movie about a teenage girl called Lin, and someone voluntarily wrote the song. The whole project later changed into the story of Chihiro. I wonder how similar is this original Lin and the one in the movie.
btw Nanashi thanks for the lyrics of Sekai no Yakushoku.

Here is one of the most famous theme songs of the Ghibli movies, Kimi o nosete.

あの地平線 輝くのは
どこかに君を 隠しているから
たくさんの灯(ヒ)が 懐かしいのは
あのどれか一つに 君がいるから

さあ出掛けよう 一切れのパン
ナイフ ランプ鞄に 詰め込んで

父さんが残した 熱い想い
母さんがくれた あのまなざし

地球は回る 君を隠して
輝く瞳 きらめく灯火(トモシビ)
地球は回る 君をのせて
いつかきっと出逢う 僕らをのせて
父さんが残した 熱い想い
母さんがくれた あのまなざし

地球は回る 君を隠して
輝く瞳 きらめく灯火(トモシビ)
地球は回る 君をのせて
いつかきっと出逢う 僕らをのせて



ano chiheisen kagayaku no wa
doko ka ni kimi o kakushite iru kara
taku-san no hi ga
natsukashii no wa
ano dore ka hitotsu ni
kimi ga iru kara

saa dekake you
hitokire no PAN
NAIFU, RANPU kaban ni tsume konde
do-san ga nokoshita atsui omoi
ka-san ga kureta ano manazashi

chikyuu wa mawaru kimi o kakushite
kagayaku hitomi kirameku tomoshibi
chikyuu wa mawaru kimi o nosete
itsuka kitto deau
bokura o nosete

do-san ga nokoshita atsui omoi
ka-san ga kureta ano manazashi
chikyuu wa mawaru kimi o kakushite
kagayaku hitomi kirameku tomoshibi
chikyuu wa mawaru kimi o nosete
itsuka kitto deau
bokura o nosete



The horizon is shining because
it hide you somewhere.
when I see a lot of lights,
I feel dear because
you are in one of them.

Let's go out,
packing a bag with a piece of bread,
a knife, and a lamp.
This burning will that my father gave me.
That look that my mother gave me.

The earth is spining, hiding you.
The eyes are shining, and the lights are twinkling.
The earth is spining, putting on you;
putting on us who shall meet each other someday.

This burning will is that my father remain for me.
That look is that my mother gave me.
The earth is spining, hiding you.
The eyes are shining, and the lights are twinkling.
The earth is spining, putting on you:
putting on us who shall meet each other someday.

after a long time, lets use this thread.

Laputa imaging song
Moshimo Sorawo Tobetara

もしも空を飛べたら
Lylic : Matsumoto Takashi, Music : Tutumi Kyouhei, Vo : Obata Youko

水晶の花園に立ち
指先で風向きを見た
しっかりと手をつないでね
助走して飛びあがるから
悪戯な風をつかんで
わたしたち天使の化身

もしも空を飛べたら
雲の斜面を駆けのぼり
もしも空を飛べたら
あなたの腕に宙返り
空を飛ぶ少女

湖の水面かすめて
二人して水平飛行
ワルツでも踊るようにね
弧を描くと鳩と遊ぶの
愛してるただそれだけで
心ってもう無重力

もしも空を飛べたら
風にはためくブラウスは
もしも空を飛べたら
熱い思いで一杯よ
空を飛ぶ少女

もしも空を飛べたら
雲の斜面を駆けのぼり
もしも空を飛べたら
あなたの腕に宙返り
空を飛ぶ少女
