The outro was Ryu Ga Gotaku from the famous Yakuza game franchise. The intro was my own original mashup of Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star), a few anime sound bites, some kabuki, a cheap recording of my son’s Buzz Lightyear toy, and “Dubstep" from BenSound.
Oh, and let us not forget the Japanese version of Simon and Garfunkel's Sound of Silence!
