#DAN DA DAN Original Series Soundtrack Now Available on Music Streaming Platforms

Milan Records has announced today that the DAN DA DAN original series soundtrack is now available on several music streaming platforms. 

The album features original score music written by Kensuke Ushio for the popular anime series, which delivers an upbeat, electronic soundtrack with influences across disco, funk, and house, among other genres. 

Of the soundtrack, composer Ushio describes the process behind its creation as: 

When I first read the original comic of DAN DA DAN, I was captivated by the attitude to encapsulate various cultures to create a new story. The occult, UFO, rom-com, old Japanese movies, you can see the bits and pieces of those elements sampled in the storyline. Thinking back ‘sampling’ was always there in the music I grew up with. For this project, my goal was to create music unlike anything you’ve ever heard before, featuring a variety of samplings (legit!), yet still be a cohesive part of DAN DA DAN.  When you’re done listening to this record, please go to the record store to dig for music you can sample!

This is a story about Momo, a high school girl who comes from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult fanatic. After Momo rescues Okarun from being bullied, they begin talking. However, an argument ensues between them since Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens exist, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts exist.

To prove to each other what they believe in is real, Momo goes to an abandoned hospital where a UFO has been spotted and Okarun goes to a tunnel rumored to be haunted. To their surprise, they each encounter overwhelming paranormal activities that transcend comprehension. Amid these predicaments, Momo awakens her hidden power and Okarun gains the power of a curse to overcome these new dangers! Their fateful love begins as well!?
