TEITO MONOGATARI 2 (帝都大戦) Theme Song--Heaven Knows

To NOT mention TEITO MONOGATARI and Janis Ian in the same breath is nothing less than a sin. I didn't see this song uploaded anywhere, so I decided to fill in the void; filling it up with pictures from DOOMED MEGALOPOLIS 2 (officially titled TOKYO: THE LAST WAR), the film it was featured in, in the process.

Thinking back, I actually really did like this movie even though it totally warps its source material.

Will TOKYO: THE LAST WAR ever get an R1 release? Heaven knows...

I do not own any of this stuff.

Nice one! Nice to know that I am not the only one who loves the Teito Monogatari series. I have to admit, I quite like Kato Yasunori for being one of the best villains that we could ever find in such a story. However, he is eclipsed by M. Bison of Street Fighter which is sad, considering that he is the original guy behind Bison's success.

OT: Do you know where could I watch this movie? I wanna finish the Teito Monogatari movies.

Thanks! Always reassuring to know that there are other English speaking fans out there. This movie is a little tough to find as its just in Japanese and the copyright is held in chains by Toho and EXE. At one point I was going to upload the entire manga adaptation as well as the whole film on Youtube, but my Japanese friend waved the red flag at me. Best advice I can give is to look for a VHS copy from an import service like Video Daikaiju. PM me for more info.

Nice job with this video!

… However, I don't think I'll be able to unsee what's going on at 3:52.

3:52? Yeah, that was kind of a GOTCHA! moment. You might be able to infer that's from the climax when Nakamura (the protagonist) and Kato have both been severely wounded from their fight. Although Kato doesn't seem to mind...

Funny thing is I actually found 4:06 to be more disturbing even though its a totally chaste moment and I was pissed that Youtube chose that as a thumbnail picture option instead of the image of Janis Ian at the end.

@aznricekracker One more thing. I do not think that I will be able to buy it by that circumstance.

@aznricekracker YW But I live in the Philippines! :(

Looking for one is like finding a needle in a haystack, considering that most (95%) of our foreign VHSs/ VCDs/ DVDs/ BDs are from the Western World (Europe, particularly the Great Britain and the United States of America and Canada as well as some Australian ones.)

Japanese and other country's films and series is one terribly hard to find, if not obscure. So hard that I will be forced to buy online (which I am gonna buy but has no subs). D:
