Wonderful game music

[Game Music] UNDERTALE’s masterpiece. A BGM that leaves a mark on the heart.

I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

When discussing the appeal of the indie game UNDERTALE, what captivates everyone is its exquisite array of soundtracks.

From “Battle Against a True Hero,” which heightens the tension of combat, to the wildly popular “MEGALOVANIA,” and the playful “Bonetrousle,” the music brilliantly conveys each character’s personality.

Every track leaves a deep impression on the player’s heart.

Here, we present the moving and exhilarating music of UNDERTALE.

SAVE the World

SAVE The World

SAVE the World

This is the music that plays during the battle with Asriel’s second form.

In UNDERTALE, many tracks make use of leitmotifs, and in this piece, the song Once Upon a Time from the tutorial is used as the leitmotif.

Alphys

Alphys

Alphys

This is the piece known as the theme of the scientist Alphys.

Her introverted and slightly awkward personality is beautifully expressed through the music.

The somewhat absentminded feel of the melody makes it seem like you’re hearing her emotions directly.

You can almost picture her anxious, fidgety expressions.

Specifically, it’s the BGM used in places like the in-game laboratory.

Listening to it might make you want to replay that scene all over again.

Spider Dance

This is the battle BGM for Muffet, the spider monster.

Its distinctive tone feels noisy and urgent, with a chiptune sound that fits the game’s world perfectly.

It’s also a very popular track among players.

Heartache

Heartache

Heartache

This is the BGM that plays during the battle with Toriel.

It begins with a single-note melody, then shifts into a grand sound that feels like your vision opening up.

It’s a striking track that conveys the ebb and flow of the fight and the progression of the story.

It even has a faintly Chinese-inspired vibe.

Ghost Fight

Ghost Fight

Ghost Fight

This is the battle BGM for Napstablook, the first mid-boss to appear in the game.

The track features an eerie rhythm that perfectly matches the image of Napstablook, who is a ghost.

Still, it also carries a playful vibe, as if reflecting their slightly clumsy personality.

Finale

This is the battle BGM for your first encounter with Flowey when you start the game.

Flowey is a flower monster and has a pop-looking design.

The slightly bright sound and lively rhythm, which match Flowey’s image, are quite striking.

CORE

CORE

This is a track used as BGM during exploration in the Core and in battles.

It uses the same melodic line as a leitmotif as the battle BGM for Mettaton EX, “Death by Glamour.” It’s arranged with a vibe that perfectly suits an RPG.
