Performed by Japanese band Do As Infinity, Fukai Mori became widely known as an ending theme for the anime series Inuyasha, where its gentle tone matched the show's quieter story arcs. As the series found an international audience, fans shared the song in AMVs, tribute edits and anime compilations, keeping its melody familiar well beyond its original broadcast run. Today it is used less as a meme punchline and more as a nostalgic cue, instantly signalling Inuyasha to viewers who recognise the opening notes.
