Masaaki Yuasa returns for a historical legend.

The music sounds great, a combination of both historical and modern.

This looks like it will be interesting.

Wow! so we finally find out what kind of movie it will be: historical music. Interesting combination. Teaser looks better than the poster, which does not 'spark joy' for me.
