#MusicBOX GeGeGe no Kitaro/Kazuo Kumakura [Music Box] (Anime "GeGeGe no Kitaro" OP)

#HappyHalloween 2020!

Speaking of #musicbox, here's some actual music box music!

It's the wonderful theme of Kitaro on a music box! 

And it sounds lovely! Appropriately spooky and creepy too. I love it!!

 Here's some more Kitaro!

I truly adore this cover!!! Lovely voices! Insanely good music! They even sorta look like a buncha yokais having fun!

Easily my all-time favorite fan recreation of this classic opening theme.

Just in time for Halloween season...

 It's almost Halloween! Let's hear some great tunes from the classic long-running manga/anime series Gegege no Kitaro!

Kitaro's always had some great memorable opening that unlike most reboot shows/movies in the US, always kept its original melody intact throughought its various incarnations. It's an iconic Japanese opening theme. I love listening to its various takes over the decades. My fav is probably the original 1960s one and the 1990s movies version.

I really truly adored the live action films, it's nice to see a live take on Kitaro. The cast was great too. And the opening theme was perfectly used in the intro!

Wow! Check it out! 

And to end on a different note, I love how ending themes are either creepy... or fun yokai dance! This is one of my favorite ending musics, from the 1990s Kitaro:

Look at them shake it off! Haha! Adorably spooky!

The ending to the first "gegege no kitaro" live action film. I just love this song and the silly dance! (Also, Rena Tanaka!)

Enjoy!
