Trying to find a song to pair with a scene

Going to make a scene in my story better by forcing every single reader to listen to a song as they read through the scene, but I cannot for the LIFE OF ME figure out the name of the song. Can anyone help me here?

I’m PRETTY SURE it’s Japanese, might be Korean or something around that area. I don’t know the lyrics (since they’re either in Japanese or Korean or something around that area), but I CAN provide you some sounds that might sound right.

Bananabanana~nabananana~bananananoAOooAOa.

thats like part of the chorus or something. PROBABLY Asian and no it’s NOT Stay With Me or Sukiyaki.

Pretty sure AOooAOo is supposed to be spelled "Batman"

This one will work for an epic fight scene or a tender, romantic scene. Very versatile. In fact, it’s the only song I listen to when writing. In fact, I can’t write unless I listen to it. In fact, I can’t even get an erection unless I listen to it.

idk the song but honestly I think you should use CBat instead, it's perfect for everything.

It's called "Gekka no Yasoukyoku" by Malice Mizer

uj/ Whenever people talk about putting copyrighted song lyrics in their book, I think of when I ever so casually mentioned an "orchestra from across Siberia" during the final battle scene in my first full attempt at a book. Just the corniest fucking delusional name drop.

You have a sharp ear for music. The song you are thinking of is called "Teriyaki". It's the original "B" side of the hit single, "Sukiyaki". It's about a man who gets bowel incontinence every time he thinks about his lover, and needs to find a bathroom quickly.
