Composer Hisayoshi Ogura's soundtrack for developer Taito's overhead multi-directional shoot-em-up Kiki Kaikai is streaming on Spotify, along with music from the PC-Engine port.

Inspired by tales from Japanese mythology, the game stars Shinto shrine maiden "Sayo-chan," in her quest to fend off frightening mythical creatures using scroll projectiles and a trusty purification rod .

Kiki Kaikai served as the basis for Natsume's Pocky & Rocky titles for Super Nintendo. Arcade Archives Kiki Kaikai by Hamster Corporation is available for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.
