Moana and the Legends of the Sea Pick-Up ♩

At marry, we are currently introducing music from Disney movies one by one ♡

➡Here is the list of past articles on Disney movie BGM

This time we focus on "Moana and the Legends of the Sea," which was released in 2017. The original title is "Moana."

Many of you may remember it well ♩

The protagonist is 16-year-old Moana, the daughter of the chief of Motunui Island *

The story revolves around her journey to save the island by searching for Maui, a demigod (who was a legendary hero 1000 years ago), and her struggle to restore peace to the seas and the world.

The bumbling duo of Moana and Maui adds a comedic touch, with the contrasting pair developing the story as a charming "buddy" adventure ♡

The movie was directed by two famous Disney directors known for "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin," creating great expectations even before its release!

Ultimately, it earned approximately 28 billion yen in the U.S. and about 3 billion yen in Japan, becoming a huge hit ♩

The beautiful and powerful depiction of "sea" and "water" in 3D has also become a topic of conversation ♡

Simply Great Songs ♡

"Moana and the Legends of the Sea" shares common points with "Frozen."

One of them is that they both heavily promoted the movie through music ♡

At the time of its release, didn't you often hear phrases like "Where the sky and sea meet..." in commercials and advertisements?

(Many of you must be thinking, "Yes, I heard that a lot!" ♡)

Anyway, one of the appealing and popular points of Moana is how amazing the music sung in the film is ♩

Here are seven songs for you ♡

① How Far I’ll Go

The most famous song is this one ♡ “How Far I’ll Go.”

This song conveys Moana's determination and excitement as she decides to embark on a journey for herself and her island, which forbids her from going beyond the reef.

The clear and beautiful singing voice of the actress who provided Moana's voice, Akiha Chitose, is grand and stunning ♡

I remember being moved when this song played in the theater...!

For brides having summer or resort weddings, it could be wonderful to play this during the entrance scene ♩

In the film's ending, singer Miliya Kato performed “How Far I’ll Go" ♡

It has a slightly different vibe and is cool ♩

"We Know the Way" is a song sung by Moana's ancestors, the navigators ♡

It expresses the thoughts and bravery of pioneers leaving their homeland in search of an island for their people.

The catchy chorus of "Aweigh, Aweigh" is unforgettable ♩

④ I Am Moana

"I Am Moana" is a song sung by Moana and her grandmother, Tala ♡

The melody is the same as "How Far I’ll Go," but the lyrics differ, with Moana questioning her identity.

It’s a song that conveys determination and gives a sense of straightening one’s back while listening...!

⑤ Know Who You Are

"Know Who You Are" is a short song that plays during the film's climax, where Moana sings to regain the heart of the goddess Te Fiti ♡

⑥ Shiny

"Shiny" is sung by a giant crab named Tamatoa, who is technically a villain *(evil character)*

He boasts about the shiny treasures on his shell.

After singing proudly, Moana is almost eaten, but manages to escape...!

The wobbly, mysterious world view of the melody and lyrics is interesting ♡
