Hunter X Hunter Song Novels & Stories

I got curious about this too while rewatching 'Hunter x Hunter' recently! The first outro, 'Just Awake' by Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas, definitely has lyrics—it's this energetic mix of rock and electronic sounds that matches the show's vibe perfectly. The lyrics are in English and Japanese, with themes about breaking free and pushing forward, which kinda mirrors Gon's journey. Later outros like 'Hyori Ittai' by Yuzu also have lyrics, leaning more into emotional, introspective territory. I love how each outro reflects different arcs; 'Just Awake' fits the chaotic Hunter Exam, while 'Hyori Ittai' hits harder during the Chimera Ant arc.

Sometimes I loop these songs while working out—they’re that motivating. The lyrics aren’t always easy to catch because of the fast-paced delivery, but looking up translations adds another layer to appreciating the music. Togashi’s series always picks endings that feel like an extension of the story, not just background noise.

especially those emotional outros that hit just right after an intense episode. The best place to start is Spotify—they have most of the official OSTs, including endings like 'Hyori Ittai' by Yuzu, which is an absolute masterpiece. If you’re looking for something more niche, YouTube is a goldmine; fans often upload high-quality versions with lyrics or even live performances. Just be careful with unofficial uploads, though, since they sometimes get taken down.

For physical collectors, CDJapan or Amazon Japan often carry the original soundtrack CDs, though shipping can be pricey. And if you’re into vinyl, some limited editions pop up on Discogs occasionally. Honestly, half the fun is hunting down different versions—I once spent weeks tracking down a rare acoustic cover of 'Just Awake' from the 2011 series. The chase is part of the adventure!

Hunter x Hunter has a total of 7 outro songs across its 2011 adaptation, and each one perfectly captures the shifting tones of the series. The first, 'Just Awake' by Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas, is this intense, chaotic rock track that mirrors Gon's raw energy early on. Later, 'Hunting for Your Dream' by Galneryus becomes this epic anthem for the Chimera Ant arc—still gives me chills! The outros aren't just filler; they evolve with the story, from the melancholic 'Reason' by Yuzu to the hopeful 'Hyori Ittai' by Yuzu. It's rare for a series to nail every outro, but 'Hunter x Hunter' absolutely does.

What's wild is how the music reflects the arcs. 'Just Awake' fits the Hunter Exam's unpredictability, while 'Nagareboshi Kirari' feels like a nostalgic goodbye during the Yorknew City arc. I love how the production team didn't just slap random songs on—they curated them to enhance the emotional weight. Even now, hearing 'Hyori Ittai' takes me right back to Gon's transformation scene. The attention to detail in the music is just another reason why this anime stands out so much.
