Self-explanatory. Decided at the last minute to both include this song AND give it a big epic rock n' roll ending.
lyrics
Coral reef and sea turtles surround me
The conversational symphony astounds me
Join me by the shore for awamori
On my sanshin I'll sing you my stories
Every night I dream of Okinawa
And I'm a gaijin lost like that Macchio kid
But I'll stick with it just like Morita did
Here I can practice graceful force with my body
Kicking their sorry ass with my karate.
Every night I dream of Okinawa
And I want you to come with me when I do.
