Hello Mr Nang in which episode of Naruto and draw the voice of Sasuke in your song "Sake cup" ???? 43:14

Cannot believe it's already been a week since the release of this masterpiece. Have been listening to it every day! Just wanted to check you have it copyrighted though Elijah, as I have seen other channels sharing this entire album with no link to this original source... One in particular I just saw was from "Mr Momo". Hope you keep on top of it as everyone's going to want to cash in on this gem of yours.

35:00 "I'm writing a poem about a dream I had. The tiger's eyes are like my own, But he comes from across a deep and troubled sea." Finally I have found where these lines originate from - "The Last Samurai". For those who like to dig deep, here is an interpretation of this mysterious quote: "The Last Samurai is a 2003 Hollywood epic, a Japanese-American co-production, which tells the story of Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise), an American Civil War soldier, who goes to Japan. Disillusioned by the American Civil War and the Indian Wars, in which he fought and lost his ideals and moral values, Algren becomes an egoistic, greedy, permanently drunk soldier, who has no respect for himself or anyone else. At the same time, thousands of miles away, Katsumoto (Watanabe Ken), a Japanese Samurai warrior, has to witness how his world falls apart when Japan becomes more and more westernized. ... Not only Algren but also Katsumoto crosses cultural and mental frontiers. Both are affected by the encounter with a foreign culture and although they come from different cultural backgrounds, they share similar experiences and ideals as warriors. This is emphasized in one of the key scenes of the movie, when Katsumoto starts to write a poem about his encounter with the American. The poem starts with the lines: "The tiger's eyes are like my own. But he comes from across a deep and troubled sea." By this, Katsumoto expresses that he and Algren, as warriors and human beings, are very much alike and only come from different cultural backgrounds."

Or memorizing openings, and know what move will win. Theory, and foresight is great, but if you’re playing a failing game that’s been played before you will only repeat it. Typically it’s not till the end of the middle, or end game when you have a new game.
