Yuuhi to Tsuki

The Setting Sun & The Moon (夕陽と月, Yuuhi to Tsuki) is a rock ballad sung by the voice actors of Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami; the title of the song is a reference to their family crests. It was released on The King of Fighters '96 arranged soundtrack as an extra song and continued to be re-released on other compilation CDs. Masahiro Nonaka and Kunihiko Yasui are often asked to sing this song for their live performances in The Band of Fighters, which also includes an exclusive saxophone or a jazz bass solo. A live version of this song can be seen here.

The song was also given a remix for Iori's drama CD, The Sun and The Moon ~ Prologue, to emphasize Iori more. This version was sung by Yumi Kakazu who played the role of the original character, Kikuri Tanima. The title to the remix is "The Setting Sun & The Moon ~ Yasashi Hito" or "kind person".
