Kimi Wo Nosete was written for Laputa Castle in the Sky, the 1986 Studio Ghibli film directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Composed by Joe Hisaishi with lyrics by Miyazaki and performed by Azumi Inoue, it plays as the ending theme and became one of the most recognisable songs in Ghibli music. Its melody has been covered, arranged for piano and music box, and shared widely online, where fans associate it with flight, parting, and childhood wonder, keeping it popular in anime edits decades after the film's original Japanese release.
