Main Theme from the film “Ōoku”Muramatsu Takatsugu
This piece served as the main theme for the film Ooku, starring Kazunari Ninomiya and Kou Shibasaki, vividly coloring the story’s world.
Set in a lavish Ooku where gender roles are reversed, the dignity and fragility of people living amid swirling fate are woven together through a grand orchestra enhanced by koto and wadaiko.
The powerful yet heartrending melodies crafted by Takatsugu Muramatsu feel like the very cries of the characters’ hearts.
The track is included on the album “Ooku (The Movie) Original Soundtrack,” released in September 2010, and it’s a delight that a ballad version of the same theme is also available!
stationTakeuchi Mariya
This song evokes a scene straight out of a film: unexpectedly running into an old lover at the station at twilight.
The protagonist notices him in the familiar raincoat, yet the bitter memories that resurface keep her from speaking.
Many listeners may feel their hearts tighten at the poignancy of fate, as two years have changed them both and sent them down diverging paths.
The song was self-covered on the acclaimed 1987 album “REQUEST,” and released as a single that November.
It also served as the theme for the Shochiku-distributed film “Goodbye Mama.” Another major appeal of this work lies in how its lyrics can be interpreted differently depending on the listener.
Put it on during a night when you want to reminisce about a past love and indulge in a touch of melancholy.
Proof of Eternal AbsenceToukyou Jihen
It’s a thrilling rock number written specifically as the theme song for the theatrical film Detective Conan: The Scarlet Bullet.
Shiina Ringo’s dark worldview and Tokyo Jihen’s superb band sound blend seamlessly, instantly pulling listeners into the story.
The lyrics portray the resolve of someone who, bearing a truth that must never be revealed, throws themselves into a solitary battle—perfectly mirroring the tense atmosphere of the film.
The track was included on the EP News, released in April 2020.
It’s the kind of song that can give you a push when you want to sink into a mysterious mood or steel yourself for a major decision.
F-L-YSPECTRUM
SPECTRUM is a band you’ll never forget once you’ve seen them, staging flamboyant performances in armor or Viking outfits.
Their outlandish appearance often leads people to dismiss them as a novelty act, but it’s surprising to learn they were actually a virtuoso group that even included former members of the backing band for the pop trio Candies.
Debuting in 1979 with “Tomato Ippatsu,” they shocked the music scene with a heavy brass-rock sound reminiscent of Earth, Wind & Fire.
Their active period lasted only about two years, but their talent was the real deal—member Keiichi Oku later won a JASRAC Award as a composer.
The gap between their look and their sound might just make you grin.
MMHUVERworld
A rock number bursting with aggressive speed and blazing passion for victory! Released in December 2024, this track was selected as the opening theme for Season 2 of the anime The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse, stirring up major buzz.
The lyrics by TAKUYA∞ weave in the story’s core motif, the “Seven Deadly Sins.” It’s a powerful song that fuels courage to face adversity—perfect to play before a big showdown!
ANGELHimuro Kyosuke
Many people must have a special attachment to this work, which marked the beginning of Kyosuke Himuro’s solo career after the breakup of the legendary rock band BOØWY.
Released in July 1988 as his first solo single, its driving 8-beat rock sound leaves a vivid impression.
With a universal message that doesn’t hide one’s weaknesses or fragility yet still urges moving forward, it powerfully shakes the listener’s heart and delivers energy for tomorrow.
A renowned track also included on his debut album “FLOWERS for ALGERNON,” it’s the perfect song to play when you hit a wall in everyday life—let it lift your spirits!
Echo of the EmeraldSABOTEN
This is a post-punk band that began with a uniquely art-school idea: performing Erik Satie’s compositions as a band.
With their independently produced first album, “Saboten,” released in 1982, they made their singular presence felt in the scene.
They never had a major-label hit, but their experimental, lo-fi sound and command of irregular time signatures drew comparisons to cutting-edge overseas bands.
Their sharp, edgy performances—delivered by members with the appearance of ordinary girls—were sometimes mocked as a “crummy band.” Yet that precarious sense of balance may have been precisely their unique charm.
If you ever feel that ordinary music leaves you a bit unsatisfied, why not step into this one-of-a-kind, artful sonic world?
