Matsuken Samba II

Matsudaira originally played the role of the serious shōgun (Tokugawa Yoshimune, Japan's greatest samurai, or military leader) in the TV series “The Violent Shogun” for 25 years, playing a brilliant samurai who was strong, selfless, disliked showy things, had no interest in women or money, and would execute justice as soon as he found an evil person.

[2] In 2005, the song was featured in the New York Times, which said, “Perhaps it was the equivalent of Americans waking up one morning to find John Wayne transformed into the Cowboy of the Village People.".

Referencing Broadway musicals, which he regularly visited for inspiration, he used women's dress fabric purchased in New York for the costume material.

To match the flamboyant costume, he chose a wig with brown hair, a color favored by today's youth.

The two strands of hair hanging down on each side were a symbol of male sex appeal and were dyed gold for added effect.

[2] The song was composed with a longer intro (1 minute 6 seconds) to give him time to change outfits for the show.
