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.

No way.Nuo × Bereavement

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!

Song of the Mountain ManDark Ducks

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.
Eighth Experimental Special ReconnaissanceJoe Hisaishi

“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 villageJoe Hisaishi

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!
mountains and riversHiroshi Itsuki

This is a single released by Hiroshi Itsuki in 2000, with lyrics by Kei Ogura and music composed by Takao Horiuchi.
The song likens life to mountains and rivers, and at the 51st NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen in 2000, it was performed as the White Team’s finale and the event’s overall closing number.
It is a powerful, emotionally resonant piece.
