Street Fighter: The Rock Opera
A few days ago Capcom dished on their upcoming Street Fighter IV. Shortly after that, pop/rock group Man Factory releases the first part of their Street Fighter rock opera. Coincidence? Yeah, totally.
Still, the seven song EP is a labor of something between love and obsessive nostalgia that the group started working on in 2005, and contains songs dedicated to Ryu, E. Honda, Balrog, Zangief, and Chun-Li. My biggest complaint is that the burly bear wrestler sings about his love for Chun-li, when we all know that aria should be about E. Honda. I guess the story's not over yet, though.
You can stream the entire EP at the group's MySpace page, or look further down on that page for a link to download the whole thing.

You know this reminds me over how me and my friends would argue at the arcades on who had bigger tits Cammy or E Honda
i had the pleasure of seeing man factory live in our home state of texas and i have to say that i was impressed by what they played off of their upcoming street fighter ep, so i'd say it's work a listen.
I can totally get behind Zangief's love song to Honda concept, as it's been so obvious over the years that Edmund is the Russian bear's favorite bunk buddy, but Zangief has always longed for the one man he could never have; Ryu.
Now THAT would be one heartfelt aria!
