Quiz about The Song Behind the Scene Rurouni Kenshin

The Song Behind the Scene: "Rurouni Kenshin" Quiz

The "Rurouni Kenshin" OST has some of the greatest songs I've ever heard. Unfortunately, like most back ground music, much of the tracks remain obscure. Because of this I thought of creating a quiz solely dedicated to the "Rurouni Kenshin" themes.
