Jazz monk rap

Metaphor: ReFantazio didn’t just have a funky name, the I-can’t-believe-it’s-not-Persona title also claimed attention with its unique battle themes incorporating sutra chanting into its compositions.

(Yup, that's the karaoke version.)

But the actual monk chanting these lines wasn’t exactly new to the idea. At all. Mauro highlighted this on their blog mentioning the Nam Jazz Experiment band of which the monk in question, Keisuke Honryo, is part.

Here are some of the other tunes the band made that do fe rather “metaphorical” as a result.

Interesting style to keep an eye on.
