MiseryMaaku Sheiman
The background music from the 1991 film “Misery” in Japan.
The movie is about a popular male author who is imprisoned and restrained by a female fan, and his attempts to escape.
However, the piano melody in this scene is somehow wistful, and it feels as though it expresses her complex emotions.
It’s a piece of background music that evokes something unfathomable in the film’s female lead.

From the film Princess Mononoke: ‘TA-TA-RI-GAMI’Hisaishi Joe
From the 1997 Studio Ghibli masterpiece Princess Mononoke, which grossed 19.3 billion yen, here is the theme of the Tatari-gami (Curse God).
The film’s world, said to have taken 16 years from conception to release, was truly beautiful, wasn’t it? At the same time, this piece is still scary even as an adult.
“Cell” from the film Parasite EveHisaishi Joe
From the soundtrack of the 1997 Japanese film Parasite Eve.
It is memorably used in the scene where, after overcoming a tragic accident, the protagonist loses his sanity and the story finally shifts into full-on horror.
The music is by Joe Hisaishi, renowned for his Studio Ghibli works.
Here, you can witness a completely different side of his talent from the soothing melodies he’s best known for.
Strong FateWagakki Band
Skyrocketing in popularity as the theme song for “Zang-ei: The Room You Must Not Live In.” Yuko Suzuhana handled both lyrics and composition.
This is the first time WagakkiBand has been involved in music for a film.
There’s an anecdote that the movie’s producer immediately became convinced WagakkiBand was the perfect choice to express Japan’s traditional “wa-style” fear through music.
TRICK Main Theme “Mystic Antique”Tsuji Akira
Speaking of the supernatural, you can’t leave out this drama.
Director Yukihiko Tsutsumi’s masterpiece series TRICK blended comedy with uniquely striking lines and plot twists that made you stop and think.
The main theme of that classic show had an especially memorable phrase.
Just hearing it makes you want to watch the drama again!
Emily RoseKurisutofā Yangu
The horror film Emily Rose is based on a real incident that actually happened in the United States.
This is its theme song, and since the story is drawn from real events rather than fiction, it’s all the more frightening.
Centered around the piano, this track builds the film’s atmosphere, and as you listen, you’re gradually pulled deeper into its world.
Tales of the Unusual Main Title: “Garamon Song”Kuniaki Haishima
In Japan, this series, Tales of the Unusual, is also well-known for its focus on horror and the supernatural.
The opening melody is very famous, but what follows—especially the part that sounds like a children’s chorus—is incredibly eerie.
How about listening to the entire piece again, including the sections people don’t usually hear?
