When the candle flickers… the cat may no longer be just a cat.

“Bakeneko” is the seventh haunting entry in MelatonInBunker’s Halloween Special 2025 – inspired by Japanese yokai legends, where shape and spirit slip like silk through shadow.
A tail too long. Eyes that watch too knowingly. And footsteps that echo where none should be.

🎐 Graceful. Sinister. Waiting.
This is a song of quiet possessions and restless spirits – of tea gone cold and whispers behind paper walls.

🐈 Let her dance. Let her smile.
But if she speaks in your voice… it’s already too late.

Welcome to - MelatonInBunker -

Step into the shadows—where raw emotion meets sonic experimentation.
MelatonInBunker - is a dark haven for genre‑bending music: heavy Metal, Pagan‑inspired Dark Folk, Japanese Visual Kei, and chill-out spaces of Jazz and Lo‑Fi. The sounds may be sparked by AI—but every lyric, every emotion, every atmosphere is handcrafted by a human soul.

The Heart of the Bunker -

This channel blends the future and the ancient—melding artificial creation with deeply personal storytelling.

Metal & Dark Folk: Ritualistic, heavy and melodic—originals written by hand, as always, carved from myth, belief and history.

Visual Kei (JP): Theatrical, intense, expressive—songs performed in Japanese with a flair for the dramatic - or simply fun.

Lo‑Fi: Downtempo sessions for introspection, relaxation, and nighttime wanderings. Or simply ... coffee. Coffee is life.

Gothic: Eerie, moodful and full of emotions - the dark medicine your poisened soul needs sometimes.

AI-enhanced, Human-driven: While tools like AI help shape the soundscapes, the soul of this channel lies in human curation, lyrical depth, curiosity, creativity and musical intention. Everything comes right out of a human heart and soul, written down personally and brought to the world with the help of A.I..

What Makes This Bunker Different? -

Every track is more than a genre—it’s a mood, a story, a reflection. Whether created by hand or through machines, the final piece is always touched, edited, and emotionally refined by human hands. Out of personal history and experience, most songs are crafted out of the reflection of my own life.

Lyrics:
古い家、畳が鳴る。
障子の隙間、灯が揺れる。
年老いた猫、髭は墨。
灯油を舐めて、不吉が来る。

「ただいま」——声は同じ。
口元は笑い、目は夜のまま。
手拭い被り、影が踊る。
台所の湯気、鬼火が灯る。

Bakeneko in the midnight hall,
drinks the light and dims it all.
Steals a name behind a grin,
wears the skin to walk within.
Ghostly fire, velvet tread—
lantern’s glow turns cold instead.
Bakeneko, hush the floor,
silence deeper than before.

"化け猫!"

帳面を開き、筆は走る。
主の癖まで、真似て写る。
座敷の肖像、目礼返す。
床下の寒さ、骨だけ話す。

噂は言う、十二三年。
尾は一本、まだ猫又前。
長いしっぽ、災いの兆し。
灯のそば、影は主のふり。

Bakeneko in the midnight hall,
drinks the light and dims it all.
Steals a name behind a grin,
wears the skin to walk within.
Ghostly fire, velvet tread—
lantern’s glow turns cold instead.
Bakeneko, hush the floor,
silence deeper than before.

"化け猫!"

肥前の城、夜更けの祟り。
血を舐めた猫、恨みは錆びず。
女の姿で門をくぐり、
家名を揺らす、怪猫の筋。

暁前、紙灯り薄い。
足跡ひとつ、窓辺に消える。
鈴は鳴らず、風だけが鳴る。
名を奪われ、家だけ生きる。

Bakeneko, veil the day,
sip the flame and fade away.
Borrowed hands, borrowed breath,
dance of love and borrowed death.
When the shōji breaks with dawn,
only paw-prints linger on—
Bakeneko, close the door,
leave the house and nothing more.
