What music genre is this?

[pinja]

Recently I've listened to a bunch of jazz and prog rock acts unknown to me and it somehow let me to Japanese movie soundtracks mostly from the '70s. One of'em is this little gem:

Especially the main theme has a very distinct style of sadness to it, sounding something like a cross between French chanson and an Ennio Morricone score. I've heard several songs like that before, almost always Japanese, but I've never seen a label for it. Is anyone aware of it's genre? Don't know if there's a good reason YouTube let me to this from jazz and prog rock. Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a MASH episode looks.

Apparently that is a thing, but it's many things? Then again, everything with -core as suffix is a thing.

I was just making a joke. It sounded like music to kill yourself to.


Hell, I'm A metal head and I can't keep up with all this different -core shit. I make broad distinctions such as hair metal is different than death metal and shit like that, but as long as its heavy and is either catchy or has a groove it's just metal to me.

I'm glad we live in a world where a genre with as dumb a name as Entombedcore is a thing.

Oh, I figured as much, I's just really bummed out and considering things while denying the sweet sound of my inner most affirmative voice. 8(

Metal seems to be the most loaded of genres to the point where I don't even get how two styles are considered to have the same base. Music science becomes an academic's nightmare.

I recently learned that Cottagecore is a thing and just yesterday I read an article by someone obviously trying to make Merkelcore a thing, too. Wade Barrett should form an NXT stable called Correcore, only having Hardcorecore matches.
