Jam of the Day: Magoichi Saika’s Theme by Kow Otani, Masahiro Aoki, Chamy Ishi, Rei Kondoh, Yasutaka Hatade, and/or Sara Sakurai (Sengoku BASARA 3 Original Soundtracks)

This is one of those instances where a lot of people are credited for a soundtrack, but I can’t actually find who is responsible for each specific song.

I just started playing Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes, a game based on Japanese history, but with magic and robots. Much like the how the game’s concept meshes real history and absurd fantasy, the soundtrack blends traditional Japanese instrumentation with more modern styles of music.

Throughout the soundtrack, you’ll find classic Japanese styles mixed with rock, electronica, jazz, and in this case, flamenco. It creates some interesting hybrids that are worth checking out.
