It's time to recognize one of Capcom's greatest musical achievements - the score for Onimusha/Onimusha: Warlords/Genma Onimuha.
Composed by Mamoru Samuragochi with full backing from the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra, it was intended to provide a truly cinematic feel. An unforgettable atmosphere full of every range of emotion.
And it scueeds.
Now the song in this opening is known as Rising Sun 1st Movement but I can't just post the tune. i have to post the epic FMV that goes with it.
(SPOILER)Nos this game thrives on motifs but I love it. You hear a lot of the same melody but with so many different instruments that it hardly matters.
And to cap it all off, Pierce that plays during this amazing climax.
