[Fleet Collection BGM] Kantai Collection’s famous and popular tracks

Daytime battle (Gun and torpedo battle, commence!)Usami Hiroshi

1.05 Naval gun and torpedo battle, commence! (Cannons and Torpedoes, Fire!)

This is a battle BGM familiar to KanColle fans.

Played during daytime naval battles in the game, it features a grand, dramatic arrangement centered on orchestration.

Woodwinds and brass—especially oboe and horn—stand out, heightening the tension of naval combat.

Its thrilling, fast-paced melody line conveys the intensity and dynamism of battle.

Composed by Hiroshi Usami, it was released around 2013–2014 and is included on albums such as “Kantai Collection -KanColle- Original Sound Track vol.I [Akatsuki].” It’s used in key battle scenes in the game and partially in the anime as well.

It’s a perfect track not only for playing KanColle, but also for times when you want to focus or get pumped up.

[KanColle BGM] Home Port [One Hour]

This piece makes plentiful use of the shakuhachi and koto, giving it a gentle atmosphere.

It’s used as the BGM for the main menu, the Home Port.

As the name suggests, it’s the kind of track that lets you picture a quiet harbor scene.

The soft tones of traditional Japanese instruments and the beautiful melody make it a soothing song.

Even after the intensity of fierce battles, returning to the Home Port lets you relax and recover—this track conveys exactly that feeling.

Enemy fleet sighted!Ōkoshi Kaori

[Kancolle OST] 13 Enemy Fleet Spotted! [CD Audio]

The BGM used for the boss battle in the spring 2014 event “Sortie the Recon Planes!” It’s an arrangement of “Sortie the Recon Planes!” The original track features a koto and evokes a distinctly Japanese atmosphere.

While retaining that traditional flair, this version adds elements like the shakuhachi and ramps up the tempo, resulting in a faster, more upbeat piece that’s perfect for a boss fight.

SortieUsami Hiroshi

Kancolle OST: 02 Sortie (CD Audio)

The BGM used on the sortie selection and general sea area map screens.

It’s also known as “Across the Open Sea.” The melody is simple, but the rhythm in the background creates an atmosphere that feels like you’re about to sortie at any moment.

The contrast between the heavy, battleship-march-like backing and the simple, light melody makes for an interesting piece.

Ready? Then… sortie!

At the Horizon of Dawn (Instrumental Ver.)Ōkoshi Kaori

[KanColle BGM] “On the Dawn Horizon” (Instrumental ver.)

This song has a Japanese rock style where traditional Japanese instruments and bass intertwine coolly.

Fleet Operations Third Method: Final Sea Area Boss Battle ThemeŌkoshi Kaori

[Kancolle BGM] Order Issued! Fleet Operations Doctrine No. 3 – E-5 Boss Battle Theme

The BGM used for the boss battle in the 2016 event “Deploy! The Third Fleet Operations Doctrine.” It makes an overwhelming impression, with an alien intro built from heavy low-end programming and echo reminiscent of electrical interference—as if to match the grotesque Abyssal Princess among the enemy ships—an eerie, slightly off-pitch chorus, and lyrics steeped in malice.

The chorus is performed by Kaori Okoshi.

It’s a suspicious and tense track befitting a boss fight.
