amazarashi “Seasons Die One After Another” — Tokyo Ghoul √A ending theme

It’s the theme song of the anime Tokyo Ghoul √A.

Watching the music video gives me a bit of a chill, but if you’re planning to use fake blood for Halloween, it might be worth a look—you might get some ideas.

Halloween originally involves dressing up as ghosts, yokai, or monsters to hide from approaching evil spirits.

This song feels like it embodies that concept directly.

Strawberry Nightmaresutopuri

This is a song that lets you fully enjoy the world of Halloween.

Released by Sutopuri in May 2020, it paints a picture of a sweet yet frightening, dreamlike world.

The eeriness lurking beneath its pop sound perfectly captures the Halloween vibe.

The lyrics are sprinkled with love magic and nocturnal dangers, drawing listeners into a fantastical realm.

It’s perfect for anyone wanting to hype things up at karaoke! It would also work great as BGM for a costume party.

If everyone sings and dances together, there’s no doubt Halloween night will be even more fun.

Eternal Zombinadenpagumi.inc

Eikyu Zombiena

A Halloween number from the era often called Dempagumi.inc’s golden age.

The lyrics subtly match up a “zombie that won’t die even if it dies” with “a love that can’t give up even after being dumped,” giving it a distinctly otaku vibe that feels so Dempagumi.

The repeated chorus lines and number-only lyrics might be creepy if you sang it alone! It’s a bright, upbeat track, so it’s great not only for karaoke but also as BGM for Halloween parties.

As for Dempagumi, with members like Yumemi Nemu and Mogami Moga having graduated, the group has become something entirely new.

We’re super excited to see what the new Dempagumi will do!

Vampiregirl9mm Parabellum Bullet

Vampiregirl

This is “Vampiregirl” by 9mm Parabellum Bullet, the runaway No.

1 band with the hardest-to-pronounce name.

It’s a single packed with the appeal of their dark, aggressive world.

Pummeling drums, guitars that sound like screams, and a vocalist who’s literally screaming.

They embody what a rock band should be—refusing to get swept up by trendy sounds and continuing to express their own unique vision.

It’s a song I’d love to hear sung on Halloween!
