Akazonae Tenkaichi

Akazonae Tenkaichi (赤備え天下一), roughly translated as "The Greatest Akazonae", is a Samurai Warriors  character image song and the event exclusive song for the voice actor stage event, Sengoku Musou Seiyuu Ougi 2016 ~Sanada Natsu no Jin~. Like the live event, the song is Sanada centric; the title is referencing their historical red armored troops and Yukimura's posthumous praise as "Japan's greatest warrior."

Four variations have been recorded and Takeshi Kusao (Yukimura Sanada) sings in every version. Its live debut is a solo song with accompanying character dialogue, which served as the opening song act for both shows. Daisuke Ono (Nobuyuki) encourages Yukimura to charge for the day show and the event exclusive CD recording. Kenta Miyake (Masayuki) joins Ono's dialogue for the night show.

The live event's DVD Deluxe Edition set includes a CD for the Sanada brothers duet (~Sanada Kyodai Special Version~). The Gamecity Early Deluxe Edition set CD has a father and son duet (~Sanada Oyako Special Version~). Both are firsts for the series.
