Camille Saint-Saëns Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (41–50)
Aquarium from The Carnival of the AnimalsCamille Saint-Saëns43rank/position

In the au commercial where, in the room behind the Santarō trio, Kagu-chan appears to be making something in a “Crane’s Gratitude”-style scene, the song playing in the background that creates a mysterious atmosphere is “Aquarium,” the seventh movement from The Carnival of the Animals.
It’s a piece by the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, notable for its memorable melody that evokes a sense of wonder, eeriness, and foreboding.
It perfectly matches Santarō’s feelings as he wonders what Kagu-chan is doing beyond the door in a non-human form.
The way the same melody continues calmly also adds to the enigmatic mood.
