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

Night Ambush BattleŌkoshi Kaori

Kantai Collection (KanColle) BGM Ambush Night Battle (Normal)

This piece, Ambush Night Battle, was used in the limited-time event Sortie! Naval Transport Operation, which began in November 2015.

It’s a track where a beautiful piano melody sparkles amid ominous strings.

The synth-led main theme that comes in halfway through is heartbreakingly moving, and the way the synth bass coils around it is irresistible.

There’s also a version with vocals, so why not try comparing the two?

Blizzard, sortie!Ōkoshi Kaori

[KanColle BGM] “Fubuki, Set Sail!” [10-Minute Loop]

This track is the music that plays during the route battles in the latter half of the 2015 winter event “Counterattack! Assault on Truk Anchorage.” It’s an arrangement of the route theme from the first half of the event, “Special Type Destroyer.” The slick, slithering bassline and roaring electric guitar are cool and striking.

Amid that, beautiful strings and trumpet take turns carrying the main melody, making it feel like such a waste that it wasn’t used for a boss battle!

chance encounterŌkoshi Kaori

kaoling – Purehearted Dark Delusion

This piece, Encounter, is the BGM that plays when you open the ship encyclopedia.

The composer, Kaori Ōkoshi, apparently created it with images like looking up at the water’s surface from the seabed.

It begins with electronic tones that drip like falling water droplets, then a synth bass rises from below, gradually warming the track.

In the latter half, strings weaving a mysterious melody and the sound of piano add color.

It feels like the kind of music that would help you sleep soundly if you drifted off while listening to it.

Combined Fleet, WestwardŌkoshi Kaori

Kantai Collection BGM: Combined Fleet, Westward

This track was played during the first half boss battles of the 2015 Spring Event “Operation No.

11” commemorating the second anniversary of KanColle’s service launch.

It’s a mixed arrangement of two pieces that were also featured in the same event: “30th Destroyer Division, Prepare to Engage!” and “The Battle of the Mutsuki-class Destroyers.” The blend of spring-like tones from traditional Japanese instruments with electric guitar and hard-hitting drum beats makes for a very cool wa-rock style song!

ModorenainoŌkoshi Kaori

Kantai Collection (KanColle) BGM 'Modorenai no'

This track was played during the boss battles in the latter half of the limited-time event area “Operation Order No.

11,” held in April 2015 in the browser game Kantai Collection (KanColle), available on DMM.com.

The vocals are performed by Kaori Ogoe herself, who also composed the song.

Its unsettling atmosphere truly evokes the deep sea, making it a perfect fit for this event area.

It seems that Toshi from X JAPAN sang this song at the KanColle Jazz Festival, and even among attendees who came just for Toshi, some ended up getting hooked on KanColle because of it!

Operation MIŌkoshi Kaori

[Kancolle BGM] Operation MI: Sortie/En Route Battle [10-Minute Loop]

The BGM used during the route battles of the Summer 2014 event “AL Operation/MI Operation.” It’s an arrangement of “Hiryuu’s Counterattack.” While retaining the refreshing, clear feel that evokes soaring through the skies, it’s become a more intense and weighty piece.

The piano that comes in here and there is really cool, isn’t it? It’s a track with plenty to listen for, showcasing the strengths of each instrument.

[KanColle OST] 08 I Engage the Enemy Carrier Task Force [CD Audio]

This piece, “I Engage the Enemy Carrier Task Force,” is an old-school classic that was used in boss battles long ago and has since been featured repeatedly in various events.

With powerful brass and snare drums reminiscent of a marching band heightening the atmosphere, its majestic orchestral sound is the standout feature.

Apparently, there are even people online who keep challenging a certain stage just to listen to this track!
