Yumetourou

Your Name elicits culturally distinct, nostalgia-driven narrative styles in which music serves as an uniting element. Yumetourou, literally 'dream lantern,' starts the film. It is played on current Western instrumentation such as the rhythmic guitar and conventional drums, confirming the Japanese music industry's present background and globalized character.

Aki Yamasaki classifies anime music as three distinct genres: theme music, character melody, and soundtracks.

Yumetourou is a theme song in the purest sense, satisfying all of Yamasaki's criteria as a song combined with an opening title sequence, with stunning lyrics as well as a catchy melody intended for a broad audience. In animation, theme songs serve as the film's face and are often sung by the vocalist at events, as well as being turned into recordings and midi files for sale. As a result, Yumetoro's role stays distinctly Japanese.

Although theme melodies are more often associated with television programs in Japan, Shinkai's commitment to this aural pattern instills a feeling of comforting familiarity in the local audience.
