In a special episode, I delve into two main topics related to the anime Rurouni Kenshin. Initially, I embarked on a nostalgic journey, creating a tiered list of iconic opening and ending songs from Rurouni Kenshin's 90s series, based on personal taste and memories associated with each song. The discussion includes detailed impressions and musical characteristics of selected tracks, such as 'One Half' and 'The Fourth Avenue Cafe.' Following this, the I shared a heartfelt narrative on why Kenshin, the protagonist of Rurouni Kenshin, is their childhood hero. This reflection is based on the deep life lessons learned from the anime, the inspiration derived from Kenshin’s character, and how it influenced my personal growth and coping mechanisms during challenging times. The episode aims to resonate with fans by combining music nostalgia and the impactful storytelling of Rurouni Kenshin.
