K-pop’s hottest boyband and Japan’s youngest performer (at least at Japan’s 2008 year-end Kohaku Uta Gassen) performed a charming little rendition of the theme song for Hayao Miyazaki’s “Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea”, on February 7th.
The lullaby, “崖の上のポニョ (Gake no Ue no Ponyo)” is an original track of Hirai Ken’s from yesteryear. The animation’s theme song, sung by Fujioka Fujimaki (duo Takaaki Fujioka and Naoya Fujimaki) and Nozomi Ohashi was first remade and released in late 2007. However, following the rise in popularity of the film, it managed to climb the Oricon charts and eventually ranked 14th best-selling single on the 2008 yearly chart.
In terms of singing, Micky Yoochun’s entry was cringe worthy. There’s no need to croon in a children’s song, is there? Aside from that, the members were able to synchronize and blend in well with little Nozomi.
