Was that "when the saints go marching in" with the solo to start?  WTF!?!  Japanese madness.  Love it.

lol yea it was. this is pretty awesome

I love late night Japanese cards. It's like MMA meets Iron Chef

Damn this feels good, like seeing an old friend again. These intros really make the show feel special, like an event should.

I can hear audio but only see brackets. Wat do?!

same here.  i was about to ask if it was just me.  commentary but just brackets on screen.  i think it's just their production for the live stream.
