Ballad of Their FootstepsKamayatsu Hiroshi
This song was used as the ending theme for the TV anime Hajime Ningen Gyatoruz, which aired from October 1974 to March 1976, and was sung by Haji no Hajime.
However, this video is a self-cover version by Hiroshi Kamayatsu, who composed the song.
No way.nuo × shibetsu
The noisy soundscape is decadent and cool.
It’s a collaboration track by Vocaloid producers Nuo and Shibetsu, released in 2020.
The grunge- and alternative-tinged arrangement pairs perfectly with NEO-HIME’s innocent yet razor-sharp vocals.
The lyrics, which sing of possessiveness, are dangerously alluring.
It’s cute, but the yandere-leaning content will make your heart race.
If you like rock bands, this might be a particularly striking Hime track for you.
Highly recommended for late-night listening!
Mountain DelicaciesŌsutoria min’yō
When we were little, many of us probably sang this song in kindergarten or elementary school.
It’s a classic about mountains that brings back the fun of picnics.
Even if you don’t know the song by name, I think many people would recognize it when they hear the yodeling in the chorus and go, “Oh, that song!” It’s the kind of tune you can’t help but hum along to.
Song of the Mountain Mandaakudakkusu
Here is a kayōkyoku released in 1962 by the Dark Ducks, a group that could be called a leading act among male vocal quartets.
The original song is said to be a military song, “Junko-bushi,” which was beloved at the Naval Academy that once stood in Etajima, Hiroshima Prefecture.
While the lyrics might be seen as sexist if sung today, the song’s gentle melody may well convey the atmosphere of that era.
Gentle FutureFei Ruun (Kimura Akiko) & Nabana Kinako (Yuuki Aoi)
This is a character song from Inazuma Eleven GO Chrono Stone.
It’s a slightly melancholy yet gentle piece, with lyrics that strikingly set out toward hope.
Even on cloudy, frustrating days, it’s a song that can put you in a kind and calm mood.
The tempo is unexpectedly good, making it easy to listen to.
Eighth Experimental Special ReconnaissanceHisaishi Joe
“Hachi-shi Tokutei” refers to the aircraft that was actually built when the Navy issued Mitsubishi a design order for a new twin-engine long-range reconnaissance plane.
It also appears in the show.
This is the song for that new model aircraft.
It carries a somewhat cute atmosphere.
Doesn’t the mid-tempo rhythm and bouncy melody put you in a cheerful mood? Be sure to listen for where this piece is used in the show.
mountain villageHisaishi Joe
Kaguya-hime is raised in a mountain village, and when she runs away from the capital, she heads to a mountain village as well.
Here is the soundtrack for that key setting, the “mountain village.” Its slow, laid-back, repetitive rhythm has a certain sense of comfort.
The expansive sound feels like the people of the mountain village living in harmony with nature.
It’s a highly recommended track brimming with warmth, as if it envelops you in a big, gentle embrace!
