Akira Kurosawa--Music for Film: Yojimbo

[i87murd]

Song was awesome throughout the movie, but hearing at the end just puts a smile on your face. Like "that was awesome."

[Lukecash12]

Sato and Hayasaka are super creative and expressive, and Kurosawa makes modern film directors look silly. Roman Polanski, Steven Spielberg, and Quention Tarantino? They would be trailing behind with a good view of Kurosawa's tail and arse if he today was his prime.

[WayOfTheBastard]

Movie is so awesome, music is so awesome!

[MermeladeChainsaw]

Can someone say "sample"?

[WiiFan20XX]

Korosawa is my favorite director and this is one of my favorite movies

[rastupus]

Kurosawa and Leone forever!!!!

[TheShoe1990]

Kurosawa wanted Toshiro Mifune to portray the nameless samurai as that of a "wolf" & i think this theme compliments that aspect of his character :)

[ViciousXl2]

"In this town, I'll get paid for killing. And this town is full of men who'd be better off dead"

[theonlyred4]

bum-bum PA!-PA! bum-bum PA!-PA! bum-bum PA!-PA! bum-bum Ba-da PAH!

Sanjuro is like Japan's Odin.

[Zlagie]

This gives me the chills. SOOOO EPIC!!!!!!!!

[orteu]

art for the gods. kurosawa is not from this world. also bergman.

[orteu]

the best moment of the film: Mifune showing his tongue to the geishas

[slondavokensteen]

"Hansuke! Go hang yourself."

[frankrideau]

Amazing music !

[Etheryczna]

Really great music and film as well

[LTstudios]

I was very disapointed when I sat down to watch "Fistful of Dollars" just to see that it was pretty much the same thing as "Yojimbo", although I do credit Leone's great framing. Actually, I think even the music is better in "Yojimbo", and I love Morricone.

[Zukuseishikino]

I love to hear it when I'm walkin' down the street, it makes me feel like a badass; a samurai pimp.

[TheZombiePacMan]

The black and white does not do this movie justice.

[Zlagie]

@TheZombiePacMan It does it PERFECT justice. So dark, sarcastic and gritty,

[GODKINGLANDON]

I love to frighten the feeble peasants as I walk toward thine mead hall/ high class pretzel factory (God-kings enjoy pretzels from time to time), and this music dost work wonders as a soundtrack.

[beyblader17]

[BlackBeltJohnson]

[DeathStarJanitor]

[jasonwhiton]

Also my commuting to work music this past week.

[maxkauf]

My new early morning while walking to work song. Thanks!

[tisbutafleshwound]

Great music, thank you very much for posting, I loved the music in Yojimbo, and I couldn't find it

btw: Your description is incorrect, "Fistfull of Dollars" is Italian, not American.

[TGBFD]

Thank you very much!!! I love this film very much! And music is AMAZING!!!

[LamontDaGrizzly]

I'm waiting for the rza or somebody to snatch this up and come out with a cold ass banger, i know he can do it.

[Sirkilla120]

[LamontDaGrizzly]

@Sirkilla120 Speaking of whores, why don't you go fuck your mother dickhead, i got bored of her!

[Djangoblackbird]

Jason Moran, jazz pianist, does this on one of his albums.

Somebody HAS to incorporate this into hip-hop somehow. You'd barely even have to alter it.

[TheZombiePacMan]

@Djangoblackbird To ruin it?

Fool

[l0gan316]

@Djangoblackbird please no, dubstep already almost ruined the seven samurai theme

[Zlagie]

@l0gan316 Yeah, and this song already has an amazing beat.

[urameshi1022]

these movies still blow my mind away by how good they are

[Yojimbo13david]

Best theme song ever created. Thanks for sharing

[glitterfish82]

so agree! just saw yojimbo for the first time today-the score was perfect for mifune's character in a really odd way

[Volviert]

@Yojimbo13david

Yeah, I noticed it on your name...

[marina300]

THANK YOU!!!!!! is the most lovely film of me:)

[jtcrough]

"more info"- what's a "dallor"?

[theotherserge]

so cool, I was trying to find the composer's name. thx!

[chopperpilot5]

Masaru Sato. He also did music for several of the Godzilla movies.

[Skukkuk]

Would there be Morricone without Sato?

[Nippontastic]

There would, I think so anyway, it is not 'that' similar..

[Satanicuslupis]

you just read my mind. would there be leone without kurosawa?

[Volviert]

@Satanicuslupis

Nope

[TheHickster06]

Thanks
