Youkai Ningen Bem Theme Song 1968.mp4

Performed by the Honey Knights, this anime theme song was created as the opening for a hugely popular series in 1968.

It portrays the tragic fate of the yokai humans and their earnest wish to live as ordinary people, leaving a deep impression on listeners.

Led by Masahiko Aoi, the distinctive choral vocals convey feelings of loneliness and the pain of being misunderstood to powerful effect.

Through the fusion of animation and music, the piece leaves a stronger impact on viewers and has become a classic loved for many years.

It’s a perfect track for Halloween parties when you’re dressed as yokai or monsters.

Put on a costume and sing it with friends, and you’re sure to get the party going!

Don’t Look Back – Honey Knights

This song is Honey Knights’ big hit “Furimukanaide” (“Don’t Look Back”).

After the song played, the commercial was set so that a woman seen from behind would turn around.

The singing group Honey Knights is well known for “Sasuke” and “Kaijū Ondo.” Although they are basically a bona fide choral group, it seems they did a lot of work for anime and commercials as a means of making a living.

The road to Munichhanī naitsu3rank/position

The Road to Munich – Opening – 1972

Many people now in their 60s still have vivid memories of the men’s volleyball matches at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

While there was widespread belief that Japan could win gold, many players were overwhelmed by the unique atmosphere and couldn’t deliver the results they hoped for.

Amid this, then-head coach Yasutaka Matsudaira brought a project to a TV network to raise volleyball’s profile, leading to a theme song that accompanied broadcasts combining animation and real footage.

And in the end, they truly did win the gold medal.

This is an unmistakable piece of fiction that brightened Japan.

It's Space Ape-Man Gori (Honey Knights cover version)

This is the first ending theme of Space Ape-Man Gori.

At first, the show’s title was Space Ape-Man Gori rather than Spectreman, and Gori, not the hero Spectreman, was treated as the main character.

It carries the resentment of being exiled from his home planet, but please spare us from any revenge on Earth.

Sally the Witch - Early Ending

Mitsuteru Yokoyama’s original work Sally the Witch can be considered a forerunner of the so-called “magical girl” genre.

It has been adapted into an anime twice, and the song “Mahō no Mambo” was used as the ending theme from episodes 1 through 26 of the 1966 version.

Hedorah March

This is the song included on the B-side of Keiko Mari with Honey Knights & Moondrops’ single “Kaese! Taiyo o,” released in July 1971.

It’s affectionately regarded as a “notoriously odd song,” with cheerful delivery of gruesome lyrics and an out-of-nowhere appearance by Godzilla.
