[@buhurmumlul]

i just finished ishin kiwami last night but HOLY FUCK THIS SONG IS SO CATCHY AF alongside ikumatsu's song ;w;

[@deadlord0640]

Why does this sound like a song Japanese army would use?

[@garrysucks4190]

Because it's got the vibe of a traditional folk song. It's about returning home.

[@DFlexorg]

i love this

[@Christolero]

"故郷に錦を飾るべし" means something like "must come home in triumph" rather than "decorate your hometown"

[@SirHellNaja]

I think the translator knew, but I believe it sounds cooler this way, or at least better in Asian way. Coming back home with wealth, honor and glory, decorating your run-down gloomy hometown with all these flashy brocades that shows you how much works you've done to get these.

[@Christolero]

​@@SirHellNaja My Japanese isn't that great, but according to my translator "錦を飾る" can either be "to return home loaded with honors" or "to put on fine clothing"; the decorating part seems to refer to the person themselves rather than the hometown. However, I'm not completely sure.

[@SirHellNaja]

​@@Christolero I'm not that good at Japanese, but from what I know, the word "Nishiki" is usually referred to a tapestry that is hung on the wall or a banner, like the Nishiki no Mihata. Besides, the word Kazaru means 'To decorate' as in decorating your house.

[@duongnhdn]

@@SirHellNaja Nishiki is used to refer to that dix of a brotha who betrayed his father and his brother.

[@livenishikireaction]

​@@duongnhdnwhat did you call me?

[@JetstreamRat]

THIS IS THE SOLE REASON I AM GOING TO PRE ORDER ISHIN
