RYUJIN - Saigo No Hoshi (feat. Matthew K. Heafy) (Official Video) | Napalm Records

New Self-Titled Album, RYUJIN, out January 12, 2024! Pre-Order your copy of “Ryujin“ here: What a special song for the first japanese samurai metal band in the world, Ryo comments: “This is our first ballad, so it's very special for us. This song is about a samurai who was about to die after the war, thinking about his family and praying for peace. A lot of very sad wars are currently happening on the planet too, families are being separated, and so on. I put that feeling into it. Also, I am inviting everybody to enjoy Mr. Mukai's outstanding cello performance. The album also includes a version sung by Matthew in English, so I am curious which version people are gonna like more!“ Credits: Videographer: Kousuke Matsuoka / kousukematsuoka / k_matsuoka_ Song Credits: Ryoji Shinomoto: Compose, Guitar, Vocals, Shamisen, Erhu, Dragon Fltute and All Orchestration Shuji Shinomoto: Drums, Voca
