Masiamune Taisou ~Nekoshi-Tantan~

Masiamune Taisou ~Nekoshi-Tantan~ (まシャムね体操 ～猫視耽々～) is a Nobunyaga no Yabou character image song which is one of three songs found on the Nobunyaga no Yabou Tenka Buneko single. It is a Date Masiamune image song performed by Bondo Ooki who has the dual credit "Oda Nobunyaga?" next to his name.

The song's title is roughly translated as "Masiamune's Exercise ~Practicing Vigilance~". Nekoshi-Tantan can alternatively be interpreted as "A Cat Eying Its Prey", and it is a pun of the actual four character idiom koushi-tantan (replace the "cat" with "tiger"). The idiom figuratively means to bide one's time and keep focused on a distinguished goal.
