As many of you know Takanori Nishikawa is my favorite singer of all time so what better way to honor him than by sharing his music! I’m gonna try to share a song per day.
Episode 5: Heart of Sword~Yoake Mae
“Heart of Sword (Yoake Mae)” (HEART OF SWORD ~夜明け前~) was used as the third ending song for the anime series Rurouni Kenshin, further expanding his fan base.He considers this song to be a pivotal moment in his career as he rose to fame not just in mainstream music but the anime community singing anisong and even began voice acting as well!
He voiced Orochi no Ren (大蛇の煉) in Rurouni Kenshin in 1996!
So, uh... This is a video I've made literally a decade ago for a quizz on Sporcle. With all these copyright problems I never for once thought this video would resist and win(?) the battle, so I'm posting it here now lol. I would love to make more of this, but because of the after mentioned reasons, this is the only one.
Everybody is always recalling about opening songs, so of course I felt the need to make something big about ending songs. The songs I chose are VERY random because I tried to make the game enjoyable by not making something so easy that you can answer it just by reading the name of the songs alone.
Also, the mixing is a mess but I assure you it still worth listening lol.
