Kagemusha (1980) Shinichiro Ikebe Ikebe – 2 Discs Toho (Flacs)

Kagemusha (影武者 Shadow Warrior) is a 1980 film by Akira Kurosawa. In Japanese, kagemusha is a term used to denote a political decoy. It is set in the Sengoku period of Japanese history and tells the story of a lower-class criminal who is taught to impersonate a dying daimyō to dissuade opposing lords from attacking the newly vulnerable clan. The daimyō is based on Takeda Shingen, and the film ends with the climactic 1575 Battle of Nagashino.

PM for LINK

Thanks!

Many, many thanks, dear Falstaff56!!! 😉

Link received! Thanks! 😀

Update: re-thanks for the lightning reply, in time for the weekend 😀

And now that I’ve got my link, I can begin my experimentation.

You see, I’ve always wanted to fix a tv using Samurai swords just like I saw in one of those "How To" videos. This one was called Samurai Television Repair.

I saw it, here.

I figure, if he can do it, why can’t I? After all, I’m pretty smart.

I graduated from High School and I have all 10 fingers and toes. There’s nothing holding me back!

All except for the fact that I’m not Japanese. I’m not even Nisei. But I believe I’ve found an equalizer.

I have this theory, that if I’ve got authentic Samurai music playing in the background, whilst driving 2 swords through the picture tube, I too can fix a broken tv. That’s why I wanted this soundtrack from Kagemusha!

Besides, what could go wrong?

And I realize that the Kagemusha soundtrack may not exactly qualify for "authentic" Samurai music.
S
ince I can’t look up a Samurai Wedding Band (we also do Bar Mitzvahs!) in the Yellow Pages, or scare up some old Samurai Blues guitar player on the street corner, this soundtrack will have to do.

It’s destiny!

I’ll let you know how it all turns out when I return from the Hospital Burn Ward.

Wish me luck!
