Spring Anime "Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai" Episode 5 Serialization: Music by Yoko Yama Katsu｜Reasons for Recording in Various Countries

The fifth episode of the anime 'Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai' delivers a shock to viewers that is beyond words. This youth ensemble drama, directed by Ryohei Yoshishita, written by Yuki Yaku, and produced by Doga Kobo, depicts the inner struggles and hesitations of the heroine Mahiru. Even if you're not a creator, I believe you'll feel a pang of heartache after watching it.

Of course, the charm of this work doesn't stop there. The music video for the ending theme 'Shibuya Aquarium,' along with many scenes including the aquarium, leave a deep impression. Mr. Masaru Yokoyama, responsible for the music composition of this work, also holds it in high regard.

Mr. Yokoyama stated that when he received this creative invitation, he was immediately drawn to this work. He found the creative activities and the girls' stories depicted in this work very interesting and full of challenges. The common points among creators, as well as the joys and struggles in the creative process, resonated deeply with him.

In meetings with director Ryohei Yoshishita, Mr. Yokoyama also received many valuable instructions. The director hoped he could create music with a retro feel, a request that really opened his eyes. He believes this retro quality, much like the director's process of creating while rotating the camera during trailer filming, is embodied in the music, allowing people's emotions to blend into it.

Overall, whether it's the story or the music, 'Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai' is a work worth watching again and again. If you haven't seen it yet, go watch it soon! I promise, you definitely won't regret it.
