Take the warrior stance, draw your Katana and get ready for the Jahtari-ryu of
dashing delays! Prepare for beats as sharp as a battle sword, clashing blades,
deadly moves
of Ninja swiftness and basslines coming straight from the six paths
of hell. All
giving a nod to the great, undying myths and aesthetics of
Samurai
fiction, movies - and awesome arcade games! - like Musashi, Okami and
Zatoichi. Lady Snowblood or Hanzo
The Razor. Samurai Showdown (I-IV) and Last Blade II.
The A-side is taking place at sunrise, of course, when two master swordsmen are
matching blades in a battle to the death. Although some secret ronin skills of
Dub
production come into play, the true meaning of bushido, the Samurai warrior
code, is
oozing from every bar of this tune. Can the wave-cutting technique of
the Jahtari-ryu prevail?
The B-side is the meditation after the battle, mentally re-creating the epic
struggle move by move and in slow motion. Strictly following the Way Of The
Echo,
the
true
bushi are stepping forth
here
again and showing their colors:
Red, Gold
and Green.
"The price is 500 pieces of gold."... Er, no. It's for free. HACHIME!
