Dance To The Future

Dance to the Future is a song performed by Japanese musician, singer-songwriter Koji Kikkawa. It appears on his fortieth eponymous single.

This song is the main theme song for Sangokushi 13. Purchase the single to receive a serial that can redeem Koji Kikkawa as an officer and the song within the game. His officer portrait is the same image as his single cover.

Suzuki remarked that Kikkawa was asked to do the song because of the musician's publicized adoration for ancient Chinese history. He remarked that the song is a catchy way to celebrate the series's thirtieth anniversary. Kikkawa's inspirations for composing the song was to capture the era's romantic image of fighting for one's dream while doing a callback to his own 80's roots. Kikkawa especially sought to recapture the allure of the late David Bowie.

During the game's completion conference, Kikkawa said his favorite figure of the era is Zhang Jue since he figures that Zhang Jue was the compassionate hero for the era's downtrodden populace. His favorite characters in the game are Cao Cao, Ma Chao and Lu Bu.
