NEKOMATA - Shinjuku After Dark | Dark Jazz for Work, Study & Cafe BGM [1H]

Welcome to the rain-slicked back alleys of midnight Shinjuku. In Japanese folklore, a Nekomata (猫又) is a legendary two-tailed cat Yokai (supernatural spirit). Long ago, it lived as a beloved house pet, quietly watching over generations of humans and the ever-changing face of Tokyo. Having lived for over a century, it now wanders the neon-lit shadows of "Demon City" Shinjuku—carrying not only mysterious supernatural power, but a deep sense of solitude and nostalgic sorrow. Sit back, relax, and immerse yourself in this dark vintage Japanese jazz noir, blending 1960s–70s Tokyo vibes with traditional Japanese instruments (Shamisen, Shakuhachi, and Koto) and a 3/4 waltz rhythm. --- 雨に濡れた深夜の新宿。ネオンの影に潜むのは、100年以上の時を生きてきた日本の伝説の妖怪「猫又」。かつて飼い猫として人に愛された記憶と、街の移り変わりを見送ってきた切ない哀愁を抱え、今も眠らぬ街を彷徨い続けています。 1960〜70年代の昭和レトロなジャズ・ノワールと、三味線・尺八・箏といった和楽器が織りなす、怪しくも洗練されたダーク・ジャズ・ワルツをお楽しみください。 --- ⏱️ Tracklist / 収録曲タイムライン 00:00 NEKOMATA - Shinjuku After Dark 02:37 Yokai in Golden Gai 05:56 If Your Soul Will Not Burn 09:09 A Hundred Years, Then and Now 12:16 Between Utsuyo and Tokoyo 15:00 Dance of the YOKAI 18:07 Forget Not, Ever 22:03 Memories of a Warm Lap 25:47 Nekomata Beneath the Neon Moon 28:36 A Phantom Straying in the Neon Fog 31:09 Nekomata's Midnight Stroll 33:42 Shinjuku Labyrinth 38:11 Where Yokai Bloom in Shinjuku Gyoen 41:48 Tale of the Sleepless City 45:05 Shadows in the Neon Waltz 48:32 Twilight in Omoide Yokocho 51:19 Two Tails under the Crimson Moon 54:22 Neon Alley Shadows 57:07 Echoes of the Yokai Jazz 59:50 Midnight Nekomata 1:02:31 Tail of the Supernatural --- ✨ Recommended for: Store background music (Cafes, Bars, Boutiques, Lounges, etc.) Midnight study, work focus & creative flow Chill & relax before sleep Fans of Cyberpunk, Tokyo Noir, Japanese Yokai & Retro Anime Aesthetic --- 📜 Commercial & BGM Terms of Use / 利用規約 【English】 Commercial Use: You are free to play this track as Background Music (BGM) in physical stores, cafes, bars, or in videos/streams.
