Masterpieces from the Basilisk series | A selection of popular songs from the anime and slot machine!

Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

Basilisk is a popular series that every pachislot fan knows.

Beyond the tense ninja battle scenes, it’s the music that really amplifies the thrill of playing the slots! From the anime’s opening and insert songs to the machine’s original BGMs, just hearing them makes many people’s hearts race—“Is it coming?” In this article, we’ll highlight the most memorable tracks that play throughout the Basilisk series.

Will that unforgettable song from your memories make an appearance?

This is the BGM that plays during the long freeze animation in Basilisk, which is also popular in pachislot.

If you play pachislot, I bet many of you have thought, “I want to hear this track once while standing in front of the machine!” After this calm, Japanese-style song, a flashy production kicks in and you can’t help but throw a fist pump (lol)! It’s a track that builds anticipation for the chance time that’s about to begin.

During Pachislot Basilisk 'Basilisk Chance'

This is the song that plays during the “Basilisk Chance” in the pachislot version of Basilisk.

If you’ve played the pachislot version, there’s a good chance it stuck with you.

While the series features many heavy metal-style tracks, this one makes extensive use of programmed sounds.

Paradoxically, that keeps it from being intrusive and makes it feel perfect as background music.

During Pachislo Basilisk 'Tenzen Basilisk Chance'

This is the BGM that plays during Tenzen’s Basilisk Chance in the Pachislot game “Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls – Kizuna.” It has a different atmosphere from the paired Oboro Basilisk Chance BGM.

The melody is carried by brass and strings, while you can hear distorted guitar and shamisen in the background.

The blend of elements from traditional Japanese instruments, rock, and classical music creates a cool wa-rock style.

During Pachislot Basilisk “Gennosuke Basilisk Chance”

Following the BGM “Sen,” which plays during the Shin-Dojutsu Chance and is hugely popular, this track ranks a close second! The song “Hitomi” is an instrumental BGM you can hear during the Gennosuke Basilisk Chance.

It has a distinctly metal flavor, but compared to the other tracks it uses more traditionally Japanese scales, and the percussion also features Japanese instruments.

The tone of the shakuhachi heightens the sense of speed and excitement.

It’s so cool!

This is the BGM that plays during the Oboro Basilisk Chance in the Pachislot game “Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls – Kizuna.” It’s a majestic track with a distinctly traditional Japanese flavor.

It seems you can tell which mode will be selected next based on the shape of the moon shown on the end screen of this chance mode.

It’s that exciting moment when you anticipate a shift to a high-probability state and a mode that makes winning easier! Players use the moon’s shape to decide when to start or stop playing.
