I loved the game this song was used for, "Genroh".
Fave characters were Yoshitsune and Tadanobu.
Still can't choose between them.
I prefer Tadanobu's story and personality,
But character design and real history-wise, I prefer Yoshitsune.
Plus I love his voice actor, Tachibana Shinnosuke.
Anyways this song fits the game sooooooo well.
I wish they'd make an anime out of this... Or at least a fandisc.
