BGM from the Monster Hunter series. Monster Hunter tracks that make you want to go on a hunt (21–30).
In Praise of Takumi
It’s a quest clear BGM that many people will recognize from the Monster Hunter series.
It may remind you of the very moment you played the game.
Starting with a fanfare and building into a sweeping orchestral performance, the piece feels like it’s celebrating the hunters’ success.
It first appeared in Monster Hunter 2, released in February 2006, and has been used in subsequent entries in the series.
It’s also included on the album Monster Hunter Hunting Music Collection III, so you can enjoy it outside of the games as well.
It’s a perfect track not only for game fans but also for anyone who wants to feel a sense of accomplishment and excitement.
moonquake
It’s a perfect piece for a mystical and grand battlefield.
This track, which depicts combat in underwater ruins, is characterized by a structure that gradually builds up from a relaxed rhythm.
While incorporating ambient elements, its majestic orchestral sound captivates the player.
Released in 2010, it is also included on the Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) soundtrack.
The lyrics use a fictional language called Wyverian, and they embody natural themes such as the cycle of life and the harmony of the sea, earth, and sun.
Since it plays during tense moments in gameplay, it’s recommended not only for Monster Hunter fans but also for anyone who loves epic music.
Rebel of Lightning
It’s used as the battle theme for the Thunder Wyvern Astalos in the Monster Hunter series.
It’s a dramatic, classical-style piece, and the soaring electric guitar in the background sounds incredibly cool.
There’s even a melody that feels reminiscent of Furuhata Ninzaburō.
A celestial robe dances in the great wind.
The dedicated BGM for the Storm Dragon Amatsu-Magatsuchi that appears in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.
This track is for Amatsu-Magatsuchi’s first form, and its mystical atmosphere matches the monster’s vibe well.
It can be seen as a piece that represents the calm before the storm, leading into its second form.
Cute Felyne
This is a piece themed around Felynes (Palicoes), the popular characters from the Monster Hunter series.
It’s characterized by a light, cute melody that warms and soothes the listener.
It first appeared in 2005 with the release of Monster Hunter Portable and has since been used in subsequent entries and events in the series.
It’s well known as the BGM that often plays during the cooking scenes called “Felyne Kitchen.” The track is included on the game’s soundtrack and is so popular that arranged versions have been produced.
It’s great to listen to while playing the game, of course, but also recommended when you want to relax in everyday life.
Pokké Village Theme
This piece is memorable for its gentle melody that feels like being wrapped in comforting warmth.
The relaxed tones of traditional instruments beautifully capture the quiet and coziness of a village surrounded by snowy mountains.
You can sense both the strength of the villagers living amid harsh nature and the kindness with which they welcome a hunter returning from the hunt.
First introduced in March 2007 with Monster Hunter Portable 2nd, it has remained a popular track throughout the series.
It’s perfect for when you want to soothe a tired heart or enjoy a calm atmosphere.
Listening to this piece may not only immerse you in the game’s world, but also remind you of the importance of facing nature.
The Blazing Abyssal Sea
A piece of BGM dedicated to the monster Abyssal Lagiacrus (Alatreon?) known as ‘Abyssal Black Dragon, Dire Miralis’ that appeared in Monster Hunter 3rd G.
The main theme of the 3rd series, ‘To One With Life,’ is arranged into a heavier, more terrifying composition.
It’s truly a track worthy of a boss battle.
