The Samurai and the Prisoner Original Soundtrack - music by Yoshihiro Hanno

When Lord Murashige Araki rises up against the tyrannical Nobuaga Oda, he  finds himself besieged within the walss of his own castle. Isolated, he is  confronted with a series of mysterious crimes that shatter the fragile order of  his court, plunging the fortress into fear and suspicion. With Oda’s army closing  in and a traitor hiding among his ranks, Murashige is forced into an uneasy  alliance with Kanbei Kuroda, a brilliant yet dangerous strategist held prisoner in  the dungeon. Helped by his wife Chioyo and his most loyal generals, Murashige  must uncover the truth before the castle falls. 

"Hanno-san graciously accepted my rather unreasonable request: I didn't want the  score to feel overtly like a typical period drama, and yet I still wanted it to retain a  certain sense of orthodoxy. The result was a series of magnificent musical pieces that  freely moved between restraint and liberation. It feels just like the very essence of the  life of Araki Murashige himself. I feel that the dramas of the people of the Sengoku period, which were captured only  in fragments on limited sets and location shoots, have gained a seemingly infinite  breadth and universality through the music. The power of music is truly amazing." - Kiyoshi Kurasawa - Director
