Otokichi Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Quote 姫神 - 蛍https://youtu.be/dmQraJU6gmU A spirited instrumental used by TBS Japan's (1985-1997) "Soko Ga Shiritai" when reporters took a bus tour across Japan.

Carl Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 That is a spirited instrumental. The visual presentation can use some help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otokichi Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) For two keyboard players playing live, it's apparently all about the music. I found this link by accident, late one night, as I searched for the "Soko Ga Shiritai" hiking tour of the Oze Marsh episode, and saw a "tour bus theme" link. Even before "SGS" ended in 1997, I wondered who/how to ask about the "tour bus theme," which played for a maximum of 15 seconds, buried by voiceover or staff commentary. "SGS" segements and whole episodes can be found on YouTube, which can become addicitive...;) Edited September 22, 2015 by Otokichi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otokichi Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Another instrumental that TBS Japan used on "Soko Ga Shiritai" when there was hard work to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otokichi Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) An international music fan at Last.fm has informed m that the musicians are Japanese New Age band "Himekami" and the track is titled "Hotaru."A page-by-page search didn't work, but "Himekami Hotaru" led to this link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003T56UG6/ref=dm_ws_sp_ps_dp Edited February 24, 2016 by Otokichi The album version of "Hotaru" sounds a bit different from the live version.
