BGM from the Monster Hunter series. Monster Hunter tracks that make you want to go on a hunt (21–30).
The Rampage
The music featured in the popular game Monster Hunter Rise is a powerful, exhilarating production that stirs the hearts of hunters.
Characterized by a unique sound that fuses traditional Japanese instruments with orchestral elements, it perfectly captures the game’s atmosphere.
In-game, it heightens the intensity of fierce battles and is highly effective at pumping up players.
Released alongside the game in March 2021, the track was also performed at the Monster Hunter orchestra concert “Hunting Music Festival 2021” held in November of the same year, captivating many fans.
It’s a highly recommended piece not only when playing the game, but also whenever you need an energy boost in everyday life.
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.
UNKNOWN Battle
This is the BGM that plays during the battle with the black unidentified monster “UNKNOWN,” nicknamed “Black Rathian,” which resembles Rathian and repeatedly changes forms in the Monster Hunter series.
It is characterized by an ominous sound with resounding deep bass.
Waterscape of the Rising Sun
The BGM from Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.
It’s one of the most popular tracks, also used in the game’s trailers and opening sequence.
The sound has an overall traditional Japanese flavor that really matches the game’s world.
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.
