Materials

The original soundtrack album for 'FILE38 Ise Mermaid Story' was released on March 18, 2026, featuring 20 tracks, composed by Hideyo Iwasaki.

Island Tone and Orchestration

After receiving hints from "summer" and "sea," Iwasaki chose not to pursue resort music, but instead focused on island life and local customs, creating sounds with a sense of ethnic and primitive elements.

Ishiyama demanded that the Namedori theme be both a bad boy showing off and a bit clumsy. Iwasaki bases his music on rock music, adding kazoo to express its comical feel.

To find the tone that expresses the sea, he researched instruments and gradually expanded his range of arrangements from gastroxines and harps.

For this multi-instrumental recording, Iwasaki combined budget and scheduling efficiency with the musicians' cooperation.

Live performance and sound adjustment

Iwasaki uses Showa-era human drama as the sound direction, conveying emotions through live strings, piano, and woodwinds, avoiding overly electronic timbres.

Ishiyama provided early lists of old pieces that might have been used. The newly written symphony score continues the gradual shift toward unease in arpeggios, while adding vocals connected to mermaid and siren imagery.

During the creative process, Iwasaki watched online images of the Kamishima seaside, expanding the imagination of musical scenes through the images.

Prototype and recording of the ending theme

To inspire the script, Iwasaki first experimented with several songs, including a temporary synthesized vocal for the ending melody. The vocal line he conceived was inspired by the husky voice of Hungarian singer Márta Sebestyén.

Iwasaki consulted KOCHO about singers with similar voices and was recommended by Misachi Kushima. Originally, they only wanted to join the discussion about vocals without lyrics, but later switched to a song after Ishiyama decided to write lyrics.

Ishiyama completed the lyrics in one night and attended the recording and singing. He requested that the second chorus be sung to add more emotion.

End of credits melody and scene arrangement

Iwasaki Hide, on the other hand, wrote the ending melody using the image of a mother in his early years. Later, after composing music for the scenes of "The Prisoner's Guard" and understanding the direction of love, he preserved the melody but adjusted the arrangement so that the same melody expressed different emotions.

Ishiyama explained that the work first uses the ending theme several times in key emotional and narrative scenes to form memories, then lets the lyrics-bearing song appear at the end; He linked this practice to the emotional restraints he desired.
