Kizudarake no Blue Moon

Kizudarake no Blue Moon (傷だらけのブルームーン), which translates as "Wounded Blue Moon" or "Banged up Blue Moon", is a 1986 image song for Psycho Soldier. It was supposed to be the vocalized ending theme though it apparently didn't make the cut for the game. As such, it is dubbed the phantom ending by Japanese fans since it can only be heard through various musical discs. It is originally sung by Kaori Shimizu and the lyrics were composed by Eikichi Kawasaki.

It is mentioned in the Psycho Soldier Team's backstory in The King of Fighters '99 as the opening song for one of Athena's concerts. A revised version of the theme was also performed by Haruna Ikezawa for the PS2 port of The King of Fighters XI. This version can be heard in a video here.
