Sing-ing Sunday: Studio Ghibli Magic

I am partial towards anything by Studio Ghibli, which produced much loved and acclaimed animation films such as Spirited Away (won Best Animation Film award at the Academy's), Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and very recently, Ponyo On the Cliff By The Sea (LOL). Hence, I immediately loved this song! This choral arrangement, sung by St. Nicks Choir, is very simple and stays true to the feel to the original song.

The song's composed by Joe Hisaishi, by the way. He's a very good film score composer.



Itsumo Nando Demo. Composed and originally sung by Yumi Kimura. This is the end credits song to Spirited Away. I remember watching Victoria Junior College Choir perform this and a Final Fantasy X medley with very nice video footage to accompany each piece way back in 2004. Magical.

The above is by VS Choir. For their SYF Presentation in 2005.
