“GeGeGe no Kitaro” is one of the most iconic Japanese anime series, created by Shigeru Mizuki and rooted deeply in traditional yokai folklore. The story follows Kitaro, a boy born from the world of spirits, who acts as a bridge between humans and supernatural beings. Blending gentle humor, eerie atmosphere, and moral storytelling, the series has remained a cultural cornerstone of Japanese animation for decades and continues to be recognized worldwide.

This EP record features the opening and ending theme songs from the television anime, performed by Ukadan, whose warm and expressive vocal style perfectly matches the mysterious yet playful tone of the series. The artwork showcases Kitaro in a dynamic pose with vivid colors, making the sleeve instantly recognizable to fans. Pressed as a 7-inch single at 45 RPM, this release captures the nostalgic sound and visual style of classic anime theme records.

A must-have item for collectors of anime vinyl, Japanese TV soundtracks, and fans of timeless yokai stories.

Vinyl Grading Guide

MINT

The item and container are absolutely perfect in every way. To qualify as Mint, the item must never have been played and is possibly still sealed. Mint should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all. Note that an item can be sealed and not Mint. If you suspect your record is in Mint condition, do not play it.

NEAR MINT(NM)

The item is nearly perfect. Near Mint (NM) media has more than likely never been played, and if it has, there will be no imperfections during playback. The item should show no obvious signs of wear. The cover or container can have very minor defects., but it should have no folds, seam splits, scratches, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. Many dealers won’t give a grade higher than NM, implying (perhaps correctly) that no item is ever truly perfect.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)

The item will show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Any defects are of a cosmetic nature and do not affect the actual playback. In theory, a Very Good Plus (VG+) item should sound the same as a Near Mint (NM) one. Surfaces may show some signs of wear, such as slight scuffs or very light scratches, and slight warps that do not affect the sound are okay. Paper products like sleeves will have some wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a small seam-split. In general, it plays perfectly, and if not for some minor aesthetic wear, it would be Near Mint.

VERY GOOD (VG)

The item’s defects will be more pronounced. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and fade, but will not overpower the music. Wear will start to be noticeable, such as with light scratches on vinyl (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels, covers, and sleeves may be marred by writing or have tape, stickers, and residue attached. However, a VG item will not have all of these problems at the same time.

GOOD (G), GOOD PLUS( G+)

An item in Good (G) or Good Plus (G+) condition can be played through without skipping, but it will have significant surface noise, scratches, crackling, or visible wear. A container, cover, or sleeve will have scratches or seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, or other defects will also be present.

POOR (P), FAIR (F)

The item is cracked, badly warped, and won’t play through without skipping or repeating. The container or cover could be cracked, water-damaged, and heavily marred by wear or writing. If it is a vinyl record, the album cover and inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon. Poor (P) or Fair (F) records are generally worth very little.
