Released in 2013 as their 38th single, it was used as the theme song for the Kadokawa-distributed film “Sadako 3D 2” and appeared across many media.
I felt that both the song and the dance performance were crafted with an emphasis on eeriness.
It’s scary but cool.

This is the opening theme song of the nostalgic and popular TV anime “Humanoid Monster Bem,” which aired from 1968 to 1969.
It’s a perfect fit for Halloween, with its imagery of monsters and demons—both the song and the anime.
Give it a try to boost your Halloween spirit.

A scary piece of BGM from Yoshi’s Story that partially uses the melody of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece The Nutcracker.
