Spinning Globe

Spinning Globe is the theme song for the film The Boy and the Heron (2023). It was suing by Japanese star Kenshi Yonezu.
== Development ==
Years before the the film was released, Miyazaki approached the singer about creating a song for the film; he was flabbergasted that it happened, and asked "Why me"?. Miyazaki had heard the song “paprika” by Uonez prudced on the radio. At a nursery run by Ghibli, Suzuki saw Miyazaki doing a sing a long with the children. In 2019, Miayzaki gave storyboards to Yonezu to work on it for multiple years, with no given released ate. As a result, decided his inspiration was by the story of the film but also the singer’s passion for Miyazaki’s workYonezu created multiple version before deciding on one version, and he created a demo CD to present to Miyazaki, somethng that brought him to tears. That version was added to the film.

On the day I was born,
The Sky was clearing up high and far
That was a day when I heard your voice patting my back and said “GO Ahead”
In the seasons, we passed each other, and we hurt each other sometimes.
When I touched the light, I extended the shadow. Moreover, the sky is far. 
Blown by the wind, I started running. I will transcend the rubbles.
Someone is waiting for me ahead of this path.
IN Any day, I dream of a light shinig on me.
Now, I will fling open ther door, as if to reveal the secret.
Insatiably, I will extend my thoughts, as if to spin the earth globe.
Someone I loved went to somewhere nobody knows.
With the gentle face you used to have, you are still somewhere far away.
 
I will start singing in the rain, without regard for other people's eyes.
This path continues because I wished it to continue.
I dream of meeting again, forever
I grabbed a fragment, as if not to forget the secret.
I will extend my thoughts to the end, as if to spin the earth globe.
 
Everything starts from the smallest correct wishes I have.
When I bear one loneliness, I will turn my path.
 
Blown by the wind, I started running. I will transcend the rubbles.
Someone is waiting for me ahead of this path.
In any day, I dream of a light shining on me.
Now, I will fling open the door, as if to reveal the secret.
With the joy of touching hands. With the grief of letting go.
Insatiably, I will continue to draw, as if to spin the earth globe

</tabber>僕が生まれた日の空は　高く遠く晴れ渡っていた
行っておいでと背中を撫でる　声を聞いたあの日
 
季節の中ですれ違い　時に人を傷つけながら
光に触れて影を伸ばして　更に空は遠く
 
風を受け走り出す　瓦礫を越えていく
この道の行く先に　誰かが待っている
光さす夢を見る　いつの日も
扉を今開け放つ　秘密を暴くように
飽き足らず思い馳せる　地球儀を回すように
 
僕が愛したあの人は　誰も知らないところへ行った
あの日のままの優しい顔で　今もどこか遠く
 
雨を受け歌い出す　人目も構わず
この道が続くのは　続けと願ったから
また出会う夢を見る　いつまでも
一欠片握り込んだ　秘密を忘れぬように
最後まで思い馳せる　地球儀を回すように
 
小さな自分の　正しい願いから始まるもの
ひとつ淋しさを抱え　僕は道を曲がる
 
風を受け走り出す　瓦礫を越えていく
この道の行く先に　誰かが待っている
光さす夢を見る　いつの日も
扉を今開け放つ　秘密を暴くように
手が触れ合う喜びも　手放した悲しみも
飽き足らず描いていく　地球儀を回すように
