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 include a saxophone or a jazz bassist. 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".
