The song is featured background music in many SHinsengumi or general
Bakumatsu films
but I can't recall if NHK Shinsengumi used it. I know in the film
BYAKKOTAI (the first half was about the Shinsengumi) Ryoma is treated
to an ee ja na kai parade before he his murdered.
[note: that is not my hand, ok the person can afford an IPOD but not
nail clippers---geez]

something to consider...
if Gilbert and Sullivan, being the closet Loyalists that they are,
wrote THE MIKADO
how come
no one has written an operetta called THE TYCOON (common 19th century
label for shogun)
