Here’s a BGM track that, when you listen to it alone late at night, feels like it could lead you into a mysterious world.
This piece is an unusual number by K.K.
Slider that appeared as a secret track in a game released in November 2008.
Beloved as BGM that colors the space of a popular game series, it features reversed cello and synthesizer sounds, and its drowsy melody stirs unease—its distinctive atmosphere is famously known online as “scary music.” It was later included on the album “Animal Crossing: New Horizons Original Soundtrack – K.K.
Slider Music Collection Instrumental,” released in June 2021.
It’s a must-listen for anyone who wants to experience the eerie undercurrent lurking beneath a cute game world.
