samurai champloo opening theme (with lyrics)

[godlaunching]

One of the best Animes. These words are true. The way of the samourai is hard, but the ultimate reward is HONOR

[alonzo9561]

dam i love this animes ^.^

[MrAscetic23]

One of my Fav. Animes... Slice of life kinda stuff

[ninjagirlkairi7]

The words he says in the song are quite true. We are samurai who fight everyday in order to live and some make it and some of us don't. But we still continue to fight.

[Headhunter0880]

I searched for this in Spotify and i got a shitty american version... wtf

[KailowKrow]

the blue yonder where the sky meets the sea and eye meets no eye and boy meets world and became a man to serve the world to save the day, the night, and the girl too

is this Mugen's past?

[RSPamphlet]

some days, some nights some live, some die in the way of the samurai some fight, some bleed sun up to sun down the sons of a battlecry some days, some nights some live, some die in the way of the samurai some fight, some bleed sun up to sun down the sons of a battlecry

[SnowmanWithGuns]

Fuckin' awesome.

[DragonCrest682]

This song really is awesome.

[ZantetsukenXIII]

"Save the day, the night, and the girl to"

Wow. That's all that and a bag of chips. :O

[BGambino1215]

i remmber hearing thiss shit in gr.7 ...now im 20 years old...first time i heard since thennnn meomries

[PedroRamos2Sk8]

Cool song, but I think its "In the name of the Samurai"

[LetsGetHighOnMorris]

this song makes my balls hella hot

[xJeDii]

Too bad the ending for this wonderful show ended so fucking retardedly.

[TraRobins234]

@DantheSamurai You spelled "anime" wrong. Also, this song is awesome and this style of music isn't common in anime

[xSTiZZLE]

this beat is amazing...glad to see even people in other Nations took hip hop and kept it real, but just for the record he's more into the poetry of the art form...i can tell because his voice is off beat at certain points, which is good because he's not trying to rap to the beat he's doin it from his heart...R.i.P Nujabes

[PostThisNote]

The show is bad ass, the song is bad ass, it's all bad ass. The music flows so well with the opening scene, it just fits it. Who knew rap and samurai would mix so well? Appearantly Nujabes.

[Mrms350]

everytime i watched the show i would listen to the song and not skip ahead..i usally never do :/

well also i can never understand any other opeing songs cause there in a different language xD

[sinisterways1]

lyrical annihilation of every otha rapper

[97Sewcio]

Woot, this is the only good (amazing) rap opening I know.

[Dekationz]

mmm

[Lyricy16]

easily thee nicest song ever Epic win soundtrack of a cool cat thats also a samari now i gotta go download this because i absolutely love it

[galufthebest]

I can see the lyric.

Because the soul of nujabes is here for us.

[PIKACHUGODDESS]

A musical genius gone too soon. You're missed dude. You made me like hip hop...or at least J-hip hop.

RIP Nujabes, see you in the next rotation.

[ThoseKokiriKids]

Season 2 please!

[xXzOmB1eL1feXx]

I FUCKIN LUV THIS SONG



[chaosfusionssonic190]

[nvvva]

[MichaelKeehls]

Yep, I'm watching the whole dam thing again. Badass show.

[minddeleted]

[MrBboyHP]

@minddeleted Champloo and Cowboy Bebop is the best!

[chainedblood2112]

any one miss when they use to play bumps  between every shows :3

[ZachyBear1997]

Wow!!,,I Was N Lovve With This Show...Does It Even Still Come On,,Lass Time I Saw This Was..2009 On Adult Swim

[sjbro1000]

@ZachyBear1997 Watch it online!!! Adult Swim did an awesome job putting this show in its lineup; however, thanks to censorship; some episodes were left out; including the last episode. I wish I could tell you where to go but if I did; all you get is: This has been flagged as spam... Do a search; something will show up somewhere. Then just sit back and enjoy.

[HeRiTuD]

stil on

[TheFive66]

@HeRiTuD what channel?

[bluntorc]

The memories...

[DeathMeds]

Show Jinn some respect goddammit >.>

[terrorlord15]

the song ended with women worshipping.

[Vozs]

wow.. most retarded lyrics ever.

[johnnyjay104]

@Vozs stfu

[Vozs]

@johnnyjay104 dont get me wrong, the anime is awesome, but this song is just retarded when you listen to the lyrics

[ArthasXfrost]

@Vozs the lyrics express part of the overall anime itself

if u can't see that

u missed the point

[thekkl]

@chuckyoungbloods Wolves are pack creatures, the lone ones are the ones who are kicked out.

[wemolaski]

this song puts me in a peacefull zone where i rember those days.

[ducttape5030]

Did they ever finish this anime?

[vavayuken1]

im falling in love with anime

[Krckle]

[montverdechode]

[thelonelygoth]

[adventureguy1231]

This....... Is pure art

[nijvf]

R.I.P. Nujabes. Another Genius that deserved more attention and died to early.

[anythingnew]

In Atheism (shouldn't even be called Atheism, it should be called "default" belief, because a baby has no religion), when you die, that's the end of it. Think how many people died throughout the centuries by the sword or any other weapon in the name of something...

[grandangodang]

@anythingnew religious people never fought simply in the name of their god(s) (not even when it was just to convert someone). i don't know what you mean by "something" but for them, like anyone else, it's for many things.

[anythingnew]

@grandangodang

Catholic Inquisition.

[grandangodang]

@anythingnew any others?

[anythingnew]

@grandangodang

Crusades

[rvd619]

best samurai anime better then samurai jack samurai x and afro samurai

[mira1873]

this song is so bad ass i can't stop replaying it.

[2bl3ss]

this anime is so...cool.

anyone have any other anime recommendations? i prefer short series like death note/ samurai champloo

[skyrider891]

@2bl3ss i'd say watch cowboy bebop, one of my favorites, or The Big O.

[McChery369]

@2bl3ss Kurokami has one season. is that good enough?

[KngofPirates]

@2bl3ss

Try Outlaw Star. That was a great anime.

[DarkFrozenDepths]

the only anime that i know about that has an english theme song!!

[Kemonokami]

RIP Nujabes.

It was too soon, but remember: Some live, some die in the way of the Samurai.

[kagomefanful]

@Kemonokami that is so sweet how u put those word in. it was too soon but remember some live some die in tha way of tha samurai.

[TheJaydamasta]

a freelancer, a battle cry of a hawk make a dove fly and a tear dry wonder why a lone wolf don't run with a klan only trust your instincts and be one with the plan the blue yonder where the sky meets the sea and eye meets no eye and boy meets world and became a man to serve the world to save the day, the night, and the girl too That's fuckin gangsta. Not gangstar, Not gangster, GANGSTA.

[TheVinicius619]

COMO Q CHAMA ESSA MUSICA

[ryuho55]

14 people dont have battle cries

[slickmonmon13]

"The mental blade cut through flesh and bone"

Pretty much sums the feeling Nujabe's lyrics and music style affects us while we listen.

[Deidera360]

this anime is bad ass 

[AD1017891]

14 ppl don't know what true hip hop is...

[IrishApacheHonor]

Getting this tattoo on my chest:

A Freelancer:

A battle cry of a hawk make a dove fly and a tear dry,

wonder why a lone wolf don't run with a klan,

only trust your instincts and be one with the plan.

<3

[bassmzero]

@IrishApacheHonor Before you do... "Klan" is only for the KKK. The word is spelled "Clan" xD Don't want people thinking you're a racist! Well, unless you are... then do it! xD

[Psychocide]

whats the name of this song?

[slipknotmaggot54]

@Psychocide its called Battlecry

[Psychocide]

@slipknotmaggot54 ok thnx

[plac1ds]

nujabes isnt dead guys hes just making more great music with god :)

[myusernameisgood410]

why i loved this show when i was like 8

[Leeundrick]

This song is like no other..... " some live some die"

[aceir11]

Ridiculously amazing song. I heard it when I watched the anime, I was like...holy shit this is good, as is the anime.

[silverbullet135]

thats not how u spell klan its clan simple mistake? or racist gesture! hmmm lol

[NiteShadowIII]

@silverbullet135 That's how it was meant to be spelled.

[Blackout20211]

the elements compose a magnum opus

my modus is operandi is amalgam

This might be the greatest line I've heard in any rap song ever. seriously.

[Sarafina100001]

@Blackout20211 what does it mean it sounds cool but i've been wondering what it means for the longest

[Blackout20211]

@Sarafina100001 The magnum Opus part means that the elements combined to make the greatest achievement for a song writer ever. And Modus Operandi is amalgam means that his way of going about things is a mixture of a bunch of different elements.

Fucking awesome line

[Sarafina100001]

@Blackout20211 OMG that just took this song to an awesomer level! lol thanks for the explanation!!!

[FannyDields]

who is this??

[Cubanito884]

@FannyDields Shing02/Nujabes

[IZZYRULEZ]

Best anime ever

[kingjames2000ad]

@IZZYRULEZ it was to short to be the best anime but if it was longer it would have ben the those two was the true meaning of ying AN YANG

[djkou51]

thanks for posting the lyrics

[VimtoToby]

The 13 who disliked this didn't give Mugen his 100 dumplings.

[validnamelol]

Is this on spotify?

answer fast<3 :D

[SuBzEr0Oninja]

it made me so sad these are good animes afro samurai,gun,gundam,samurai champolo,dragon ball z,cowboy bepbop thoes are the classicks

[TheFreestyler999]

i used to just ignore the themes of animes but the lyrics... for this one is amazing

[bakeher]

Clearly having 300 billion people is the best way to serve the world.

[sango3876]

Aww man I miss this anime so much on Adult Swim they need to put more anime on Adult Swim

[blitzkrik255]

how did he die??

when?

[mastergamer1221993]

@blitzkrik255 in february he was in a car accident

[funnypop]

@mastergamer1221993

are you serious? I love his music man.. it brought me into a different world.. rest in peace and eternal joy and happiness jabe..

[vicktrickly72]

@mastergamer1221993 um who?

[MrKevstro]

@mastergamer1221993 most likely a very late time to ask but, who died? the singer or the person who made the anime?

[mersi2140]

@MrKevstro songmaker, Nujabes.

[MrKevstro]

@mersi2140 :( That sucks, I want to listen to the rest of his work now.

[Enormymous]

@mastergamer1221993 NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[mastergamer1221993]

@Enormymous what?

[Enormymous]

@mastergamer1221993 wat

[ValetinoLovebird]

@blitzkrik255 who who die?

[DJaxs312]

@ValetinoLovebird Nujabes. This was his song I think.

[ValetinoLovebird]

@DJaxs312 well it was his, and he was with another if i am not wrong...nice song even though so many years has passed

[DJaxs312]

@ValetinoLovebird Yeah. The intro reminds me of the Boondocks intro. How they showed them fading from different parts.

[n543576]

@blitzkrik255 Im sorry i know this is a old comment but who died?

[sjbro1000]

@n543576 Nujabes died as a result of a  car accident. He was only 36. Seems like the very talented die young. Personally I know nothing of him; but to me, his music kind of make him the Dr. Dre of Japan.

[n543576]

@sjbro1000 Only Dr.Dre didnt die yet.....but ya i didnt know that so thanks for tell me

[LahozM]

k vacano

[tyrell5555]

RIP Nujabes your music is beautiful lol but seriously

[velfarrever6]

Where's the lyrics? lol

[mastergamer1221993]

@velfarrever6 i didnt feel like puttin them in the vid so there in the description. i was lazy when i put this vid up 2 years ago i realize now that i should have put them there instead

[MRtehe3]

@mastergamer1221993 i acutaully like that u didnt put lyrics i n the song the pic is good for the song words on it word break the image

[truekingdomhearts]

@velfarrever6 lol who needs um? i kno this song word from word....and your getting away with murder if you dont

[kaleb2792]

in the second part of the chorus it is suppose to say some days, some nights some live, some die in the name of the samurai some fight, some bleed sun up to sun down the sounds of a battlecry

[DaGeniusOne]

the best but it makes me so sad it ended i i wanted to last for ever

[Jar12ro]

Excellent song and an excellent anime. Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, and Afro Samurai are probably the best anime series' out there (in my opinion). Bleach is okay, it's getting somewhat repetitive though. DBZ is just irritating, and Naruto was good for the first series and through the start of Shippuden, not so much any more though.

[stingflyer]

@Jar12ro naruto got sooooooo childish,cowboy bebop,samurai champloo,bleach,afro samurai!now those are real animes.

[saprissa9]

perfect song for a good anime. imo there are few anime opening songs that actually describes what is the anime about.

[irvrod]

i would bump the shit out of this at nights! i would wake ppl up LOL

[smity19]

This has to be the most underrated anima of all time, people think that naruto, bleach, dragon z, and so on and so froth are good, but there nothing more then a bunch of mindless bullshit.

[monkeywolf]

@smity19 Woah woah woah, don't diss DBZ boy, that has done a lot more for manga and anime then you can imagine and has influenced every manga that has come after it.

[stingflyer]

@monkeywolf even the dude who draws bleach manga drew dbz XD i saw some of he's artwork

[monkeywolf]

@stingflyer Well how BLEACH's story goes I am not that surprised lmao!

[subliminal145]

@smity19 I agree that it is a very underrated anime, and animes such as Bleach & DBZ are mindless....but they are not bullshit, at least for DBZ. As for Naruto, many people think its mindless because how they are shown in the US. But let me tell you, Naruto has the most intriguing story line out there. The anime version can suck sometimes. Its better to read the manga.

Also this is not coming from a kid

[FunkmasterFink]

The ultimate reward is honor not awards, at odds with the times in wars with no lords.

[MrSuicideSnowman]

@FunkmasterFink Im gonna get that tattooed on me someday

[thekkl]

@FunkmasterFink Do you truly care so much what others think of you?

[Sora744]

What's the song called?

[BowOneWalkman]

@Sora744 nujabes ft shing02 - battlecry

[Cubanito884]

@Sora744 battlecry by nujabes

[vetolich]

@Sora744 , it's called Battlecry, a great anime song, a great song

[skillhell]

its the "suns of a battlecry" not "sons"

[lorddragn1]

@skillhell lol its not suns son

[skillhell]

@lorddragn1 plz look at the anime intro the text is there

[coolboy56574]

R.I.P dude who made the song forgive everybody for not remembering his name T_T

[lorddragn1]

@coolboy56574 nujabes

[sorrowsofdeath]

i've finally tracked my favorite show down

[ShinobiArcade]

the best opening theme ever in anime history

[TheAlexClover]

The lyrics are accurate, each time I listen to it it's embedded in me like a blade cut through my flesh and bone.

[wtf28]

the guy who sang this song died some time ago this year i think.

[pyro13guy]

@wtf28 No, that was the producer Nujabes (Seba Jun). The rapper, Shing02, I believe is still alive.

[france00z]

@pyro13guy dude he died in a car crash accident on feb 26 2010

[pyro13guy]

@france00z ......That was Nujabes. I know. Just said that. But the RAPPER (Shing02) is still alive, dude.

[france00z]

@pyro13guy oh my bad i misdunderstood lol

[pyro13guy]

@france00z S'okay man. :)

[versionintegrale]

the lyrics are wrong in place

[vivoflash]

R.I.P Nujabes.

This song is awesome.

[RiDDicK01111]

the song always remind me of afro samurai



[zachariah212]

Samurai champloo and afro samurai have to have the greatest soundtracks ever

[PaszerDye]

i thought the lyrics were on the video, though this is great too :'D

[jeffside]

This is one of the best anime and made me cry at the last episode

[truejester420]

straite sick ass song the anima is the shit to

[xchocojunkyx]

Best anime ever....reminds me of my older brother since it was the first anime we ever watch together ; 3 ;

[pspnichol]

the boondocks opening theme matches samurai champloo more

[JackMasiusENT]

@pspnichol you took the words right outta my mouth

[JoolVids]

One of the best songs I've ever heard and easily among my top songs.

[InaneRomance]

Kick ass lyrics. The words themselves cut me!
