I'll be one of the first ones to say that the anime series Naruto has some GREAT music. And this has always been one of my favorite tunes from the show, so I found a backing track and have done various things with it. Whilest in Japan, a friend of mine and I did this at the JCMU talent show (see link below), with her on flute and me doing the rhythm guitar and an improvised solo.
Once I got my new M-Audio Fast track and my Satch guitar, I decided I wanted to record it. So I did. In this version, I play both the rhythm and lead, as well as replace the shamisen part with an improvised guitar solo (because there's no real way for me to simulate a shamisen sound, and doing it on any setting I had sounds pretty stupid).
Anyway, feel free to comment, please rate/subscribe. I hope you enjoy it!

This is one of my favorite songs that I learned of while I was in Japan. I did not make the backing track, but thats definitely me playing the lead.
This is taken from various sources. The original song was from Mega Man 2/Rockman 2, and is simply the Wily Stage 2 theme. Then it was turned into a hit video, with vocals. Then into this instrumental version. The title, translated into English, means One Quadrillion. Its part of the lyrics to the song.
In kanji, it is: 億千万.
億 (Oku)= 100,000,000
千 (Sen)= 1,000
万 (Man)= 10,000
The way that Japanese numbers work, is that youd take the numbers and multiply them. If you do that, you get:
1,000,000,000,000,000
And uh, everyone spelling it Okkusenman? Thats wrong.
I added a solo where one repetitive-sounding part of the verse once was. And theres a solo section also already part of the track itself.
Friends Ive shown this to have made comments about me constantly looking to the right. I have no idea why I did that during filming, I guess I was just not paying attention and getting in the mood of the tune. XD
Enjoy!
Edit: Heres where I got the tab if anyone wants it.
