The TV anime “Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story – Kyoto Uprising” is the second season of the new TV anime series based on the legendary masterpiece “Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story” (published by Shueisha Jump Comics), which has enjoyed support from all generations around the world, with the comic series selling a total of 72 million copies and the live-action film series grossing a total of 19.3 billion yen.
Comments have been received from Kitani Tatsuya and Natori regarding their work on the opening theme.
▼Kitani Tatsuya▼
Maybe there really is nothing that you have to do even if it means giving up the happiness you have in your hands or the people you need to protect. But there are also moments in life when you are possessed by a self-righteous sense of morality and can’t stop running down the path you’ve decided on, and I think there is a certain righteousness to that. I felt that the pathetic feeling of being torn between two choices is also a beautiful human condition, so I wrote a song about it, and I hope you enjoy it.

This is a beautiful and down-to-earth song about a person who has decided to protect what needs to be protected, even if love, kindness, and pain all turn into curses, no matter how many seasons pass. Please give it a listen.
