Week 34 Day 3 - Imperial Assault Force

It's Wednesday, and I shall be doing another double-post today. And so today's decent song shall be:-



Song: 檄！帝国華撃団 by 横山 智佐
Geki! Teigoku Kageki-Dan (Attack! Imperial Assault Force) by Chisa Yokoyama


Well, the title does give it away for those familiar with the series, but this song was used as the OP to the anime (and apparently even the game the preceded the show) Sakura Wars [サクラ大戦 | Sakura Taisen]. The anime's OP below:-



Lyrics, with translation and kanji, can be found here. (some minor navigation required)

Additional stuffs:-


[Live performance by Chisa yokoyama. Sadly it's spoilt by chit-chat in this hand-recorded version. Also, short version only]


[Live performance. Seems like a musical of sorts]


[Another such performance, with one notable exception in the cast]


[A mesh up of the various Sakura Taisen OPs, the early and last bits are most relevant]


[Cover by Mikuni Shimokawa! But, it sounds kinda... off]


[Piano cover]


[Nico chorus version. I realize it's been a while I've posted one of these. Btw, love random whistler]


[Idolm@ster. Nuff said]


[The dance of the song, mirrored for your learning ease]


[Of course, you could always have your own version, like these guys]


[How the dance should be]


[MMD version with Touhou characters. Frustrating that I couldn't view it myself, but it shouldn't go wrong, right?]

And since I haven't posted one in a while now,


[EXIT Trance version]

Well, I honestly thought it'd be a short post, but looks like I didn't have enough space for the other random stuffs I came across. But in any case, these should be all the decent stuffs.
Next post up soon!

Note: This song is.... actually I'm not sure how best to describe it. Oh wells
