Given the game’s popularity, I’m sure most are familiar with “Those Who Fight“, the battle theme from ‘Final Fantasy 7‘. Well, recently a video covering that piece of music has gone viral on Twitter, and what made it special was it was done on a shamisen (traditional Japanese instrument).

「三味線だけで(闘う者達)弾いてみたら火傷したぜ」

As a sucker for the use of traditional instruments in modern music, I absolutely had to post it. Also, it’s just awesome regardless.
