Title: 一対の火花、秘め事に触れ (Touch With Your Secrets, Pair of Sparks)
Vocal: 諏訪部順一 (Junichi Suwabe), 山中真尋 (Masahiro Yamanaka)
Arrangement: 滝沢 章 (Akira Takizawa)
Release Date: Feb 2, 2018
Requested By: Crossy Aidae
My first request for Touken Ranbu, a series about sword boys. This song is a conversation between two swords who appear to be engaged in “battle”. The first singer is Kikkou Sadamune, has somewhat of an masochistic personality. Meanwhile, the second singer is Sengo Muramasa is known to have more of a sadistic personality. The euphemistic language in strong in the song, with plenty of double meanings bold enough for an amateur like me to spot.
Pink – 亀甲貞宗 (Kikkou Sadamune)
Purple – 千子村正 (Sengo Muramasa)
Black – Both
