Ken Yokoyama writes "Golden Kamuy" final chapter ending theme: "I think I made the perfect song"
Ken Yokoyama will provide the ending theme for the final chapter of the anime "Golden Kamuy," currently airing on TOKYO MX and other stations.
"Golden Kamuy" is a get-rich-quick survival story based on the manga of the same name by Satoru Noda. In the final chapter, which began airing on Jan. 5, Saichi Sugimoto and the Ainu girl Asirpa, having returned to Hokkaido from Karafuto, enter the climax of the search for gold while fighting against forces including the 7th Division's Lieutenant Tsurumi and Toshizo Hijikata's faction.
The ending theme is the new song "The Ballad," which Ken Yokoyama (Gt, Vo) wrote with Japanese lyrics specifically for the anime. It marks the first tie-up song for Ken Yokoyama.
The song is set to be released digitally on Jan. 13. Ahead of the release, the non-credit ending video has been published on YouTube.
Comment from Ken Yokoyama (Gt, Vo)
I think I made a song that is the perfect fit for Golden Kamuy. "When I hear this song, I remember that scene"—I hope it becomes that kind of song for someone watching.
