Irohanihoheto is catchy, but like so many TV theme compositions it loses itself after the first verse & chorus. It moves into the bridge like "here, have some new music," and out of the bridge like "let's go back to verse again, shall we?"

There's no way she can spread her wings writing for dramas.

Is it just me or are other people hearing a bit of Bach's "Toccata and Fugue" in this song? (....which I'm loving, by the way)

What I mean is:
Go to 1:20 in this Bach video, play about 10-15 seconds.

Then listen to the very beginning of Irohanihoheto.


EDIT: Maybe at 2:50 in the Bach video it's a closer match.

It's like anti-Honnou in that she's shutting herself behind the glass. I wouldn't mind if she tried making (instrumental) soundtracks. Not TV themes.

I had been thinking this same thing as well. I wonder if it was intentional....

to me the whole Irohanihoheto video seems like an homage to the foxes wedding scene from Akira Kurosawa's Dreams movie:

the foxes's wedding from Akira Kurosawa's Dreams


edit: or maybe it was just influenced by the folk legend of the kitsune wedding in general:

Probably a homage to Bach, since it is also played on an electronic harpsichord, the "piano" in Baroque era.
