“Hokuto no Ken” (Soundtrack Medley) | Yuki Kajiura

From 2006 to 2008 were released a series of movies and OVAs based on the manga of "Fist of the North Star" (or "Hokuto no Ken"). This series was composed by Yuki Kajiura, and it features some of her most majestic and glorious musical themes. Her work is truly underrated and deserves more credit and appreciation than it currently has. Sadly, only the score from the first movie received an official release, but on its own it's more than satisfying.
For this medley I combined three major themes from the score: the Main Theme, Julia's Theme and Shuu's Theme. All of them are powerful and emotional in different ways, and I hope that with this montage I could honor her work for the series. Enjoy it!

00:00 The Oppressed ~ Main Theme #2

One of the best OST ever. Have a special crush for Julia's version of Lightseeker.

Yuki Kajiura travelled all the way to New York in her younger years just to record the soundtracks for this animation. She's amazing. And she never had music lessons.

[@Illvsive]

In truth, I have no idea how I got here. I just opened my phone and BAM! The most beautiful music ever starts playing. It must be a message from the gods. I will continue to enjoy this.

Feels like all Hokuto media, have very varied OSTs, between each other. Pretty cool.

from the anime to the movie to the oavs and the games they all have great soundrack

And they are all great.

[@juliet_angeldust]

I had NO IDEA Yuki made OSTs for Hokuto no Ken, but these are absolute bangers!

[@user-xr9tw6xh7o]

Same Yuki kajiura should make more music for Shonen anime. She kinda doing it for Demon Slayer.

[@sandroschtolpe6803]

This franchise has been more successful than Toy Story(!), and its still underrated.

The legend of anime 🥺💥

[@rauriigatien]

Thank You Very Much for those masterpiece Hokuto No Ken deserve a Anime Remake with best animation possible. I Love the movie's but they take liberties for the story. But Shu moment was so emotional with this soundtrack 13:58

How i wish this masterpiece was playing at Yuki Kajiura Live along with Tokyo Konsei Ochestra choirs

[@koheletcalaforexclan6508]

If only these films were released in bluray in America! My Family may be against Anime, but I would watch this on the big tv nonetheless! Even the music excites the heart, and wells up tears! Modern Manga owes much to Kenshiro!

I wrote a comment quoting Hokuto no Ken in a video that is NOT about the series. And KZbin presents me with several related videos soon after. And it's been over a year since I showed anything. All good. Google's KZbin AI was anything but subtle this time around. 🤣

[@HandsomeH.U.N.K.]

The anime before DragonBall that inspired it!

[@josemaricircujano7737]

Do you have the song when kenshiro and yuria married in the begining of the movie Kenshiro Den? it is difficult to find. Thanks!

[@Tim_S_Lucas]

The music from that scene is unreleased, but it could be possible to rip the audio from the bluray. Since I have it downloaded, I can try to clean the audio as much as possible.

[@josemaricircujano7737]

@@Tim_S_Lucas can you do that from Blu Ray? Wao it would be incredible if you can because this song isn't anywhere. Thanks and I am going to wait :)

[@josemari4133]

Somebody knows where can I find the song of first part of movie Kenshiro Den when youria and Ken married?

[@Tim_S_Lucas]

Sadly that song is unreleased and I hasn't been shared anywhere. I may try to rip the audio from the bluray and publish on my channel.

[@samuelheaton3122]

Hey dude I don't know Tim is the one who did it but someone uploaded that music just like a couple days ago. Just search "Kenshiro Yura Wedding" and you'll find it!

i forgot to ask if there was a place to download or buy the OST?

[@Tim_S_Lucas]

Hey sorry for answering so late! This OST is available for exclusive members of various anime music forums, as far as I know, and I got this one from my brother who is active in these forums. I have only an MP3 version of this OST, but I uploaded it here for you: mega.nz/folder/gypV0CDC#fCmrHZLcjtd-qUWCezqnnA If you might wanna buy it, I suggest you first to look on Amazon or eBay for a used cd which could be cheaper. Otherwise, check this page from this database, it contains details where you can buy it (spoilers: it's officially available only in Japan): vgmdb.net/album/41318

Kajiura doesn't fit at all with Hokuto no ken and this kind of ost is almost always at odds with the movies and pretty distracting
