First chapter of the "Song of Japanese History" series:
"Takibi no Wa - Hymn of the Paleolithic Icefields".

This track blends alternative rock and tribal grooves with a cinematic, anime-inspired sound to paint the life of people who survived the Ice Age: small bands moving between caves and rock shelters, sharing hunted meat, fish, nuts, and roots around the fire. Key themes from Paleolithic Japan (hunting and gathering, stone tools, the sacred fire, family bonds) are woven into a catchy melody and call-and-response chants, so even beginners can feel and learn the story, not just read it in a textbook.

A warm, powerful introduction to Japanese history through music.
