I’ll post them here and on Twitter every Tuesday and Thursday using the hashtag #KongsTdayTunes.

You know, this game isn’t even particularly special to me. I’ve been a fan of Koei games since playing the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms on NES. It prompted me to read the book in junior high, and my voracious consumption of all things Three Kingdoms eventually made me branch out into Koei’s peripheral properties.

Samurai Warriors 2 has a kind of endless castle mode where you hack & slash through floor after floor of mindless peons until your skills (or patience) fail you. Every once in a while, this peppy tune kicked in, and it was somehow the perfect match for my murderous endeavours.

Track: “City of Flowers (Sengoku 2 Mix)” (YouTube Link)
Game: Samurai Warriors 2 (PS2, 2006)
Composer: Masato Koike
