Okami - The Sun Rises

This is a piece of BGM from Okami, released in 2006.

Okami consciously embraces a traditional Japanese aesthetic: its characters are drawn with brushstrokes reminiscent of ink wash painting, and the place names in the game are inspired by those of ancient Japan.

Reflecting that, the soundtrack incorporates the timbres of traditional Japanese instruments, letting you feel a distinctly Japanese atmosphere through the music.

This track plays during the battle with the most important boss in the game.

It’s supposed to be a tough fight that requires some finesse to win, but the grandeur and power of this piece make you feel so emboldened that losing doesn’t even seem possible.
