Today's post is some "not really otaku in Japan but probably still otaku n the U.S." music. Begin is a Japanese band from the Ryukyus, better known as Okinawa Prefecture. Formed in 1988, their music for the most part hasn't intersected with film or television. One notable exception however, is "Kimi o Miteiru", which was used as the closing credits theme for the anime Zipang. After watching the classic 1971 film Tora! Tora! Tora! yesterday, I was reminded of Zipang and its moving closing theme. Enjoy!
