Soundtracks From Up on Poppy Hill

I like the soundtracks from Ghibli’s From Up on Poppy Hill, such as Summer of Farewells, Reminiscence, and Sukiyaki. They fit well into its simple story, with a touch of nostalgia.

Natou breakfast, Dining table gossips

Daily flags raise, Boy falling from the sky

Chaotic clubhouse, Quiet teamwork

Bicycle ride, After school stroll

Remember the past, Embrace the future

Sukiyaki (Ue of Muite Arukou) Lyrics:

上を向いて歩こう

涙がこぼれないように

思い出す 春の日

一人ぽっちの夜

上を向いて歩こう

にじんだ星をかぞえて

思い出す 夏の日

一人ぽっちの夜

幸せは 雲の上に

幸せは 空の上に

上を向いて歩こう

涙がこぼれないように

泣きながら 歩く

一人ぽっちの夜 思い出す

秋の日 一人ぽっちの夜

悲しみは星のかげに

悲しみは月のかげに

上を向いて歩こう

涙がこぼれないように

泣きながら 歩く

一人ぽっちの夜 一人ぽっちの夜

Let’s walk with our heads held high

So the tears won’t spill over

Remembering a spring day

A night all alone

Let’s walk with our heads held high

Counting the blurred stars

Remembering a summer day

A night all alone

Happiness is on the clouds

Happiness is in the sky

Let’s walk with our heads held high

So the tears won’t spill over

Walking while crying

A night all alone

Remembering an autumn day

A night all alone

Sadness is in the shadow of the stars

Sadness is in the shadow of the moon

Let’s walk with our heads held high

So the tears won’t spill over

Walking while crying

A night all alone

A night all alone
