Musashi release delayed

I noticed on the Japanese website that the release date has been put back to 5th February, hence there's a 2-week delay. (Sounds a bit like British Rail....) Cheers Tom

Re: Watch all 49 episodes

Much appreciated. I have often wondered about this music. It's very beautiful, of course, but I always thought that the music was an odd creative choice for a period piece set midway in Feudal Japan.
