Tomoyasu Hotei

I’m obsessed with that really cool guitar track used in Kill Bill Vol. 1 to introduce Lucy Liu’s character. (Track 9 on the soundtrack, title is “Battle Without Honor or Humanity.”) My brother lent me the soundtrack, so I did a little digging on the artist behind that piece: Tomoyasu Hotei.

I was surprised to see he’s “Japan’s leading rock guitarist and producer.” (Check out his profile here.) He’s got a compilation album out called Electric Samurai. Only available as an import, unfortunately. Can’t justify that cost right now, especially if I’m not sure that I’ll like the other tracks.

In his profile, it says he also co-wrote and performed three tracks on the soundtrack to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
