To the living
This is the main theme from the Monster Hunter series titles Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) and Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G.
It evokes a warmth that seems to capture the vigor and beauty of life.
The strings carry the main melody, resulting in a beautiful and elegant piece.
A red afterglow racing through the darkness
The dedicated BGM for Nargacuga, the flagship monster of Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G.
Befitting Nargacuga’s swift image, it features an orchestral sound with a strong sense of speed.
The track’s title appears to be taken from the glow of Nargacuga’s eyes.
Joint Quake of Sea and Land
It’s one of the most iconic tracks in the Monster Hunter series.
This piece symbolizes the battle against the colossal monster Lagiacrus, which freely moves between sea and land, heightening the player’s tension and excitement.
Featuring a grand and intense sound that blends orchestra with traditional instruments, it alternates between evoking the mystery of the sea and the tautness of combat on land.
It first appeared in 2009’s Monster Hunter Tri and has been reused in later entries in the series.
It’s recommended not only while playing the game, but also whenever you want to boost your mood in everyday life.

It’s a bold, dramatic piece that perfectly captures the essence of the hugely successful Monster Hunter series.
Reincarnation of Light and Darkness
This is the BGM that plays during the battle scenes with the molted Gore Magala and Shagaru Magala in the Monster Hunter series.
The classical, full-orchestra performance—heroic and grand—perfectly suits the valiant, majestic golden dragon.
G-rank Fatalis
The battle BGM for the mutated Crimson Fatalis, used in the Monster Hunter series title Monster Hunter Frontier (G-Rank).
It’s also known as the “Goku-sei Mirabalkan Battle BGM.” A stately melody with a grand taiko drum keeping the rhythm.
Challenge to a formidable enemy
This is the BGM used during the battle with Shen Gaoren, and it also serves as the theme song for Monster Hunter 2 and Monster Hunter Frontier.
It has a grand, quintessentially Monster Hunter feel.
