It sounds like a really good quality "Demo Tape" to my ears, I played in several underground bands here in the American Mid-West starting in the late 80's through the whole of 90's and there were some surprisingly high quality " Cassette Demo's " being made in garages, basements and spare bedrooms back then.. It's very possible that an aspiring artist/local band from somewhere in Japan paid a local Indy Studio to record this song and for whatever reason they just never made it to the big leagues.. One thing's for sure, this song is Really Cool!!..
The guitar tone alone makes me think this is a demo. Otherwise the synths and drum machines used are indistinguishable from a lot of popular music from the time.
@@jsan2548 Yeah, the more I listen to it the more I'm guessing it's a 4-track cassette.. The drums and synths sound like they were bounced to one track which would free up 3 tracks for rhythm, lead and the vocal.. I also think the reason everybody's saying that "it's spooky" is due to that good old fashioned wobble-n-squeaky sound that old cassettes produce which gives the audio an almost "haunting sound"..
If it is demo tape it must've been handled by a true professional the mixing and mastering are VERY good. On top of that i highly doubt its an indie band since there is way too many instruments for an indie band to handle. And i notice her singing going out of tune few times in the song (might be for expressive purposes). But I don't know considering how heavily Japan invested to idol market back then (and even today) It seems like an demo tape for an idol.
im a musician, not pro, but i think i can say this the cursed vibe comes mainly from the feeling that you cant feel stable the chords in there are the ones you least expect, and you cant get a grip on a pleasant pattern ex. 0:19 there are strange key changes 1:36, and its also adds to the unpleasant vibe the slowly establishing pattern suddenly cuts and goes back to the unpleasant zone ex 0:52, despite the creepy melody, there was a pattern, but it cuts when you least expect it the melody when it says “sayonara” 1:36 and following is slightly out of pitch the violin(?) sounds stiff, so it adds to the atmosphere im pretty sure this vibe was intentional, lets also think of the creators perspective this is very much unsettling sounding, no way any person would tolerate making a song like that unless it was intentional
As a total music theory layman, this makes sense to me. I have my own thoughts, using video game soundtracks for comparison because I am just that big of a dweeb. The initial chord progression, or the key of those chords, kind of reminds me of the Super Mario World ghost house theme. Also, when it switches to a major key in the middle and end, it reminds me of the Pokemon Tower theme; someone more knowledgeable about music theory than me explained that this one specific note probably unsettled me because it there was a major chord sustained when most of the piece is--well, I'm not sure if it's a minor key, but it certainly isn't major! I usually love songs that play with relative majors and minors, but a sudden shift from a mysterious, mournful mode to a major key that doesn't resolve neatly does just sort of sit weird.
Am I the only one who doesn't understand why it's supposed to be cursed or creepy? Sounds pretty normal to me. I'm aware the lyrics are a bit weird and mysterious, but it just sounds like a break up song to me. I really like it to be honest, definitely gives me an 80s vibe.
I'd say it's because of how lopsided the synths sound playing minor notes. I'm not very well versed in how to describe the melodies, but you can almost see the same thing in a lot of Maretu's music, like siu even thought they're completely different genres
@@kapitanmw I do speak Japanese actually, but the lyrics don't make much sense to me, even in English. To me it just sounds like she's talking about her ex boyfriend whom she left behind, or some shit like that, but it's impossible to say what the author had in mind. Hence my original comment. Someone posted a translation, I took the liberty and copied it here, so that you can take a look at it. I honestly think that the fact that the recording doesn't sound clear and that nobody knows who sings it, is what people mean by "creepy". It just has this old school cassette tape type of sound that may be unsettling sometimes. But I think the song itself is really upbeat. But that's just my opinion, I'm not a music expert at all. I wonder if the artist is still alive today (I really hope so). Where are you going, chasing the wind, you withered leaves in the color of the setting sun? There is no sound of knocking at the door I sleep in a broken chair, the light outside the window is bright I dream of a town I don't know Goodbye, you are No say Fairway with a sad smile Fly away to a faraway land A star hangs in the sky as I depart Before you let the blue bird go, touch its wings gently with your fingers I look up at the sky and see a bird flying by Goodbye, you're go way My gentle eyes are fairway Fly away to a distant land Fly away to a faraway land Fly away to a faraway land・・・・
@@mojabaka the first bit is the only creepy part just a bit and i still dont know why is it for so many people creepy and some people might think the voice is creepy but i'am pretty sure its the origin of the song i dont understand like you. thanks for responding and have a great day
@@isamu541 I thought it had to be the dissonance as well, but even then it's still quite a nice wonderfully composed track and quite out of the ordinary for using the technique.
It doesn't sound like her at first, but it starts to after the pitch shift, which is interesting. The style and lyrics sound a lot like her... if nothing else, this artist was very similar!
yeah, i feel that way too but i think it's more because it has a lot of 80's music vibe and since i listen to a lot of music from that era i think that's why. not to mention that it sounds like some music from a Japanese movie from that era (animation or not).

I guess the melody sounds a little bit unsettling? I'm no music expert, but I feel like like the notes being played do give off a sort of uncanny feeling to it as if something is wrong. The lyrics translated to me also seem like it's a break up song of some sort. I don't feel that it's cursed though, just a little uncanny like that Japanese Kleenex ad.
The harmony in the verses is quite tense, with several diminished chords in a row, which is not a usual choice. The problem is that, for many people, the diminished chord is stereotypically "scary", so people who aren't too well versed in music can get unsettled with such bold harmony. Everything else about it is pretty run of the mill, though, so I think this is just people exaggerating stuff as the Internet often does.
I do think the song is going for a creepy vibe. That section between the verses at 0:43 gives me that vibe, at least. I've heard a couple of City Pop songs doing that sort of thing and even adding some demonic chants into the mix, so I wouldn't be surprised if that "creepy" feel was intended. BUT my guess is that most people think it sounds unsettling because the instruments are slightly out of tune. It's very jarring during the choruses, where you can hear the bass wobbling all over the place and the harmonies don't quite come together. Normally you would think "demos be like that" but the obscure factor here makes it sound like It's deliberate, and I guess It's pretty effective too.
@@green0451 Off the top of my head, I can name Jasuusu Fi Hareemu by Ami Ozaki, which has a ghostly vibe and demonic chants during the interlude. That's the one I had in mind when I made that comment. Nirvana by Mioko Yamaguchi also starts with a chant (not demonic, though, considering we're talking about Nirvana here), but the song doesn't go for a creepy vibe. Touhikou by Miki Matsubara and Private Red by Yukiko Okada have (in my opinion) a similar "anxious" feel about them, if you're interested in songs with similar vibes.
I love the guitar solo at the end. This song has some Depeche Mode vibes and I dig it. Honestly if we could get this to play on the radios in Japan or some way that this can get on the airwaves so the older generation (of which this song is from) could hear it; and maybe that way we can finally find someone who would come forward and remember recording this and lead to the actual artist and singer to give credit. Seriously tho this song is a single waiting to explode.
yes !! what an amazing idea !! I can only imagine the feeling the original artist would have if they discovered the song they recorded so long ago and was discarded was being circulated ! :)
for me, 1:37 -> 's awkward pitch fluctuation is kinda eerie... just me? the beginning is so beautiful ! I think how much more beautiful music like this is lost... ending up just as tapes in old thrift shops.. o
@@ohwoah4324 its known as an unknown song of sorts in japan? according to a video i watched so i may be wrong :o!! but twas a bit spooky at first. but then u listen to it and..well. it bangs.
Nothing cursed about a song thats played in diminished chords yall are just uneducated in music. I watched that video. I think people are over-exaggerating things. Like why must cursed items come from Japan? Try listening to Bali gamelan and get possessed
Yall.. i really wonder who this singer is. she has a beautiful voice, shes so talented. Just imagine if she was around here somewhere, keeping quiet. i think its possible we may never find info about the song unless someone involved with it shares it.. I dont believe its cursed, its just really eerie (the music) and considering the past. Imagine if she made more songs.. LYRICS Where are you going while following the wind, sunset colored dead leaves? The door may be striked, but there is no sound... While I sleep in the broken chair The light outside the window is lighting me I am dreaming about a unknown town... Goodbye, you are speechless (no say) With a sad smile, I will fly away Flying away, to a distant country In the sky I've started my new trip Aah... They took a star Before letting the blue birds escape, put courage in their feathers I want to escape the sky... I better stop my tears... Goodbye, you are gone(go away) Your gentle eyes are flying away Flying away, to a distant country In the night I've started my new trip Aah...
I'm not a musician or anything but the way the tunes are cast kinda sounds dreadful on this parts especially 00:44 , 01:23 The song looks upbeat too, kinda something you wanna put on an anime indeed or a dark version of Shenmue, Detective Conan & Earthbound.
Sounds like your typical city pop song though. Will add this into my city pop collection since it sounds pretty cool. I think that this can be found in some albums sung by City Pop Artists, know a couple of them that only had a single album to their name like Takako Mamiya. The song could be from one of those albums.
This album sounds like something you wanna listen during rainy day or even while strolling the big busy cities of Japan or having a road trip by the dimness of the starry night skies! I don’t hear anything eerie about this! :)
EN: I think i changed my theory. The lady singing in here was someone that at the time somewhere in the late 80s or early 90s, used to be a freeter and i think she was seeking for a job in the music industry. I think nowadays she's a voice actress and she perhaps is the voice of characters such as Rider from the Fate series, as well as Sakaki-san from Azumanga Daioh and the Vocaloid Megurine Luka JP:持論を変えたつもりだ。ここで歌っている女性は、当時80年代後半か90年代前半のどこかでフリーターをしていた人で、音楽業界で仕事を探していたのだと思う。 今は声優で、Fateシリーズのライダーや、あずまんが大王の榊さん、ボーカロイドの巡音ルカなどの声を担当しているのだと思う。
The arrangement/melody reminds me a bit of Kidorikko, but less hyperactive. And also a bit of that record Mayo Shono did with Oingo Boingo. Very odd, cool tune.
I think maybe this is a demo of a band that couldn't be approved for the studio that recorded this song, it's very sad that the band that made this song couldn't be a famous band, I hope the band that made this masterpiece can be identified one day.
Certified bop! Idk but I had a McDonald’s Halloween cassette tape that sounded way creeper than this as a kid 😂. But will say the pre-chorus B (opening instrumentals, pre-chorus A, pre-chorus B…2x, Chorus, pre-chorus A, Bridge, Guitar Solo, and Chorus…) only part that sounds off to me based on the synths and her sad droning tone to convey the lyrics. It’s literally one of the saddest break up songs of City Pop based on the sad “Poetic” Lyrics. It’s like they took a teenage break up poem and then finally added the hook so it definitely sounds like a demo. Also the openings gives me major Latin/jazz vibes for some reason.
Could this be from the 80s singer 高橋玲子 (Takahashi Reiko) her voice and song in ラブソングは唄えない (I can't sing Love Song/Love song I can't sing/Rabu Songu wa Utaenai) sounds alot like this song.
In my humble opinion, this song is not creepy at all! The melody is beautiful, the lyrics are poetic and the singer had(has?) a soft voice and sang with emotion. The only thing that makes this song creepy is the mysterious storie on how it was found. Bitches saying the song is creepy clearly never heard about Dir en Grey hahaha
This song feels like it might belong to an Anime for some reason...Well that's just what i feel or think about this song...Maybe the song was for an old Anime that didn't make the cut and thus the song for that anime was dropped,maybe...Possibly...I'm not too sure,so maybe try searching for the anime to which this song belonged to or somethin,actually now that i think about it i really think it might belong to an anime,cus i remember there was an old anime that had similar beats to this song maybe the person who sings for that anime made this song i'm not to sure though since this is just a guess of mine who knows if it is even right or correct.

It sounds like a really good quality "Demo Tape" to my ears, I played in several underground bands here in the American Mid-West starting in the late 80's through the whole of 90's and there were some surprisingly high quality " Cassette Demo's " being made in garages, basements and spare bedrooms back then.. It's very possible that an aspiring artist/local band from somewhere in Japan paid a local Indy Studio to record this song and for whatever reason they just never made it to the big leagues..
One thing's for sure, this song is Really Cool!!..
Spiderland by Slint is one of those high quality projects that was made in the American mid-west during the early 90s.
The guitar tone alone makes me think this is a demo. Otherwise the synths and drum machines used are indistinguishable from a lot of popular music from the time.
@@jsan2548 Yeah, the more I listen to it the more I'm guessing it's a 4-track cassette..

二時間ドラマみたいなドラマの中で使うためだけに作られた曲って線はないんだろうか 8-90年代のドラマでは関係者である芸能人の持ち歌みたいな感じで曲名もない歌がちょこちょこあったよな
im a musician, not pro, but i think i can say this
the cursed vibe comes mainly from the feeling that you cant feel stable
the chords in there are the ones you least expect, and you cant get a grip on a pleasant pattern
ex. 0:19
there are strange key changes 1:36, and its also adds to the unpleasant vibe
the slowly establishing pattern suddenly cuts and goes back to the unpleasant zone
ex 0:52, despite the creepy melody, there was a pattern, but it cuts when you least expect it
the melody when it says “sayonara” 1:36 and following is slightly out of pitch
the violin(?) sounds stiff, so it adds to the atmosphere
im pretty sure this vibe was intentional, lets also think of the creators perspective
this is very much unsettling sounding, no way any person would tolerate making a song like that unless it was intentional
I'm no expert but I can see what your saying
that isnt a violin that is a guitar
As a total music theory layman, this makes sense to me. I have my own thoughts, using video game soundtracks for comparison because I am just that big of a dweeb.

Bloody hell, this song sounds cool, but somehow dark. And somewhat reminds me of The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet.
Definitely sounds like an anime opening
Its because its japanese
@@bearycotie04 the style
昔CDでも自費出版色々ありましたね。
自費制作する中の一曲だったのかな？
CDにならなかっただけであって。
いまやSNSやyou tubeの時代。
なのに、この曲に限ってはなんの情報も出てこないのは何故でしょうね？？？
これを歌った女性だってまだ生きている年齢だし、きっとどこかでこの曲がyou tubeやニコニコに上がっているのは、さすがに気付いているはずじゃないのかな？
でもこうゆーの昔たくさんありますよ。
そのデモを手に入れたのは貴重だと思います。
I love the guitar solo at the end. This song has some Depeche Mode vibes and I dig it. Honestly if we could get this to play on the radios in Japan or some way that this can get on the airwaves so the older generation (of which this song is from) could hear it; and maybe that way we can finally find someone who would come forward and remember recording this and lead to the actual artist and singer to give credit. Seriously tho this song is a single waiting to explode.
yes !! what an amazing idea !! I can only imagine the feeling the original artist would have if they discovered the song they recorded so long ago and was discarded was being circulated ! :)
This!! PLEASE, someone make this happen!!
Yeah this song is very mod/new wave! Whoever wrote this song was a great songwriter! I'm sad we can't hear more from them. Hopefully we can soon
The solo at the end is soo good
これは永遠に解決出来ない幻の1曲
This sounds like a song off of Ali Project's first album. This voice and use of synth has to be Arika Takarano.
just checked that. Nope.
Suena como "Madame Noir"
for me, 1:37 -> 's awkward pitch fluctuation is kinda eerie... just me? the beginning is so beautiful ! I think how much more beautiful music like this is lost... ending up just as tapes in old thrift shops.. o
Sounds like a song 戸川純 (Togawa Jun) would've sing, very much the same style that I love ❤️❤️❤️
I had this thought too. :D I don't know if it's her, but it does have some similarities. I hope the real singer is found someday.
@@Krankhafter Me too, it would be so nice to know if she had more amazing songs like this one
This is such a banger I'm actually dancing to it or maybe I'm just a sucker for eerie vibed songs. I especially like the part at 0:43
you know despite its 'cursed origins' it kinda...yknow. Bangs.
what cursed orgins?
@@ohwoah4324 its known as an unknown song of sorts in japan? according to a video i watched so i may be wrong :o!! but twas a bit spooky at first. but then u listen to it and..well. it bangs.
Nothing cursed about a song thats played in diminished chords yall are just uneducated in music. I watched that video. I think people are over-exaggerating things. Like why must cursed items come from Japan? Try listening to Bali gamelan and get possessed
@@kuramochiyouichi1448 nobody said that all cursed things come from Japan.
私はノートを置くオフが気味悪いかもしれない理由を理解している間，これは実際に本当にきれいな曲であり、我々はそれを歌った人が非常に低い見つける機会を知って吸う。
なんて？
@@nwo2096 多くの人がその歌は気持ち悪いと思っている

So, now that TMS has been found, is this now the most mysterious song?
Yall.. i really wonder who this singer is. she has a beautiful voice, shes so talented.
Just imagine if she was around here somewhere, keeping quiet. i think its possible we may never find info about the song unless someone involved with it shares it..
I dont believe its cursed, its just really eerie (the music) and considering the past.
Imagine if she made more songs..
LYRICS
Where are you going while following the wind, sunset colored dead leaves?
The door may be striked, but there is no sound...
While I sleep in the broken chair
The light outside the window is lighting me
I am dreaming about a unknown town...
Goodbye, you are speechless (no say)
With a sad smile, I will fly away
Flying away, to a distant country
In the sky I've started my new trip Aah...
They took a star
Before letting the blue birds escape, put courage in their feathers
I want to escape the sky...
I better stop my tears...
Goodbye, you are gone(go away)
Your gentle eyes are flying away
Flying away, to a distant country
In the night I've started my new trip Aah...
Vocalist aside, the music itself is very thought out and well put together
So many 80s Japanese pop songs that are in minor keys are so goth lmao
it’s a very pretty song. i enjoy this a lot
Sounds like a demo. This most likely won't be found, the cassette was most likely the only cassette. Only if we find a creator.
I'm not a musician or anything but the way the tunes are cast kinda sounds dreadful on this parts especially 00:44 , 01:23
The song looks upbeat too, kinda something you wanna put on an anime indeed or a dark version of Shenmue, Detective Conan & Earthbound.
Anyone else brought here by Mama Stardust??
(゜∀゜)!!!
me
i dont understand how this is cursed it sounds really good and it kinda sounds like a Jun Togawa song
agreed. i believe this song was supposed to be an avant-garde style song but unfortunately didn’t really take off at all and kinda was just buried
Sounds like your typical city pop song though. Will add this into my city pop collection since it sounds pretty cool. I think that this can be found in some albums sung by City Pop Artists, know a couple of them that only had a single album to their name like Takako Mamiya. The song could be from one of those albums.
It’s not from takako mamiya but I was thinking this earlier too
This album sounds like something you wanna listen during rainy day or even while strolling the big busy cities of Japan or having a road trip by the dimness of the starry night skies! I don’t hear anything eerie about this! :)
Reminds me of Tomoko Aran's Lucifer + Yumi Matsutoya's Nightwalker + Junko Yagami's Zyohanasubargu
This is such a banger man
this song sits well in an anime from the 80s - 90s like Sailor moon, it feels nostalgic
another "mysterious" song? i love when obscure things get discovered
I actually really like this song. Wish people weren't scared of it, cuz its actually really pretty imo
EN: I think i changed my theory. The lady singing in here was someone that at the time somewhere in the late 80s or early 90s, used to be a freeter and i think she was seeking for a job in the music industry.
I think nowadays she's a voice actress and she perhaps is the voice of characters such as Rider from the Fate series, as well as Sakaki-san from Azumanga Daioh and the Vocaloid Megurine Luka
JP:持論を変えたつもりだ。ここで歌っている女性は、当時80年代後半か90年代前半のどこかでフリーターをしていた人で、音楽業界で仕事を探していたのだと思う。
今は声優で、Fateシリーズのライダーや、あずまんが大王の榊さん、ボーカロイドの巡音ルカなどの声を担当しているのだと思う。
This song *is* cursed... with the groOoOove
The arrangement/melody reminds me a bit of Kidorikko, but less hyperactive. And also a bit of that record Mayo Shono did with Oingo Boingo. Very odd, cool tune.
歌が西に届いたようですね、おめでとうございます？
hmmm i'am gonna buy a casset for 50 yen and accidentaly cause a japanese urban legend
Maybe the lyrics are a bit creepy, but I think it sounds great!
this sounds like the most 80;s thing ive ever heard.
The song is pretty cool. I also agree with several other comments too though, I don't get any creepy vibes from it whatsoever.
Sounds like a song vivinos would animate 💗
SUGGEST IT SUGGEST IT SUGGEST IT EVERYONE
OMG YES!
Vengo hasta acá por el grupo LostMedia Perdidos Posting
Un saludo
Por fin un comentario en español xddd
唯の検言の一つだったのにいつの間に海外でも知られる様になったんだ
This song reminds me of old Ali Project's songs
I think maybe this is a demo of a band that couldn't be approved for the studio that recorded this song, it's very sad that the band that made this song couldn't be a famous band, I hope the band that made this masterpiece can be identified one day.
Forget the singer, someone find that guitarist.
Lol I think its Midi
mannnn i love the melody at 0:17 and the instrument that comes in around 0:23...it's so addicting
Fly away 遠い国へ
This music sounds like something by Jun Togawa, idk
Yes, I think so too. It got the same vibes ❤️❤️❤️
This sounds like as if the singer were Hiroko Moriguchi or Yukiko Okada, and i think that is quite probably it is the Okada's last & lost song.
This kind of song usually played for horror+monster movies. 😅
This is a City Pop bop. I like it.
No, this is not City Pop.
This song be slappin god damn 😩👌👌
this is a certified hood classic
if this really is cursed then I shall die listening to this absolute BANGER
ON GOD PREACH
I don't think this is a song that was officially released. Maybe it never even received a name.
So I guess this is the TMS of Japan. Song is great!
Suena como los primeros trabajos de ALI PROJECT.
I really like it, I think the spookiness makes it unique
How is this cursed and scary this thing is fire shit.
Not a bad song , pretty cool. And yeah sounds 80s.
¿Anyone knows the lyrics of the song?...I'm curious
Beautiful
Certified bop! Idk but I had a McDonald’s Halloween cassette tape that sounded way creeper than this as a kid 😂. But will say the pre-chorus B (opening instrumentals, pre-chorus A, pre-chorus B…2x, Chorus, pre-chorus A, Bridge, Guitar Solo, and Chorus…) only part that sounds off to me based on the synths and her sad droning tone to convey the lyrics. It’s literally one of the saddest break up songs of City Pop based on the sad “Poetic” Lyrics. It’s like they took a teenage break up poem and then finally added the hook so it definitely sounds like a demo. Also the openings gives me major Latin/jazz vibes for some reason.
a song, a mystery and an unnamed author, mysteries that may never be solved
中森明菜に提供する楽曲で没になったデモテープってどこかで聞いた気が･･･
Sounds a bit similar to the songs: 戸川純 (Togawa Jun) - Aurora B, It hurt to say goodbye and Suki Suki Daisuki
ヴォーカルのリバーブ感やアレンジが80中期〜90年前期辺りだと思います。

おー！とても好みです！良いものを教えていただきました。
imagine making a demo (which isnt perfected) and people calling it creepy 💀 anywho it's very 80's n catchy ngl
なんか妙な不気味さがあるんよなぁこの曲、、、
Could this be from the 80s singer 高橋玲子 (Takahashi Reiko) her voice and song in ラブソングは唄えない (I can't sing Love Song/Love song I can't sing/Rabu Songu wa Utaenai) sounds alot like this song.
does sound similar compared to other people that been suggested
I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious. In any case I don't think this song is cursed, it's just a banger.
Well the good thing is, if it is in fact haunted, I can dance with the demons that I just summoned
In my humble opinion, this song is not creepy at all! The melody is beautiful, the lyrics are poetic and the singer had(has?) a soft voice and sang with emotion. The only thing that makes this song creepy is the mysterious storie on how it was found. Bitches saying the song is creepy clearly never heard about Dir en Grey hahaha
This song feels like it might belong to an Anime for some reason...Well that's just what i feel or think about this song...Maybe the song was for an old Anime that didn't make the cut and thus the song for that anime was dropped,maybe...Possibly...I'm not too sure,so maybe try searching for the anime to which this song belonged to or somethin,actually now that i think about it i really think it might belong to an anime,cus i remember there was an old anime that had similar beats to this song maybe the person who sings for that anime made this song i'm not to sure though since this is just a guess of mine who knows if it is even right or correct.
海外の方のコメントがかなりあるんだけど、この曲海外でも話題になってるの？
