@黑狮子 It's music that fills your heart, inspires you to travel the far horizon, experience all that life offers so in the autumn years, warmed by the memories, knowing that through success and failures, the good and the bad, you lived life to the fullest.
RIP Kaoru Yachigusa, I don't know why I feel so empty upon reading up on the Samurai trilogy and finding she died so recently, around the time I saw part 1. Fell in love with her as Otsu, delicate and perhaps willy but strong-minded in her quest throughout to find Musashi. I will think of her whenever I hear the theme, although everyone else was memorable too.
