G.I. SAMURAI (SENGOKU JIEITAI) (Complete) (2CD)

What if the modern army and the warriors of the Sengoku period fought each other? The original story by Ryo Hanmura was born from such a question, and it has been successfully adapted to film in "G.I. Samurai," a masterpiece of Samurai sci-fi action.

The music of this film, long thought to have been lost, has finally been found more than 40 years after its release!

The legend of the Samurai sound is revealed not only through the music used in the film, but also through the many unused sound sources that have been left behind!
