Tenchu
Tenchu (天誅) is an action-adventure stealth video game series, originally developed by Acquire, where the player assumes the role of a ninja. The title in Japanese literally translates in English as: "Divine Retribution", with 天 (ten), meaning heaven and 誅 (chu), meaning death penalty (another translation of this phrase, Wrath of Heaven is the title of the first PlayStation 2 entry in the series).
Plot
The series takes place in 16th-century feudal Japan. The original story (Stealth Assassins) revolves around two ninjas, Rikimaru and Ayame, who have both been members of the Azuma ninja clan since childhood. The two ninjas serve the benevolent Lord Gohda and work for him as his secret spies to root out corruption and gather intelligence in his province. However, the evil demonic sorcerer Lord Mei-Oh sought to destroy Lord Gohda, and using his demon warrior Onikage, wreaked havoc throughout Lord Gohda's province. Although Mei-Oh was killed in the first game, Onikage appeared in all subsequent games (except Fatal Shadows and Tenchu Z) as the archenemy of the two ninja, especially Rikimaru. Another major character who shows up frequently is Princess Kiku, Lord Gohda's daughter who is often the damsel in distress.
Four Hitokiri of the Bakumatsu
The Four Hitokiri of the Bakumatsu (幕末四大人斬り, Bakumatsu Shidai Hitokiri) was a term given to four samurai during the Bakumatsu era in Japanese history. The four men were Kawakami Gensai, Kirino Toshiaki (also known as Nakamura Hanjirō), Tanaka Shinbei, and Okada Izō. They opposed the Tokugawa shogunate (and later, supported the Meiji Emperor). These four samurai were warrior elite and widely considered undefeatable by normal people. The word hitokiri literally means "manslayer" or "man cutter," as the kanji 人 means person, while 斬 can alternatively mean slay or cut.

Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven
Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven (known in Japan as Tenchu 3) is an action-adventure stealth game developed by Capcom subsidiary development studio K2 LLC and published by Activision worldwide and From Software in Japan for the PlayStation 2 in 2003. It was later ported to the Xbox in 2004 under the title Tenchu: Return From Darkness and to the PlayStation Portable in 2009.
Plot
After Mei-Oh was defeated in Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, Rikimaru was left in Mei-Oh's fortress carrying a giant boulder to provide an escape route for Ayame and Princess Kiku. He appears to be trapped and left for dead. Ayame stuck Rikimaru's sword, "Izayoi" (he is seen drawing this sword in the opening CG of Wrath of Heaven) in snow as a monument for her fellow ninja, now considered dead. A year later, Rikimaru reports to Lord Gohda that he has managed to survive this near-death experience; unbeknownst to them, the real Rikimaru is trapped in the 20th century trying to find a way back to their time.

And the kisses... till your heart go numb
Chorus:
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slowly
And my heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow!
Slow down that you're here
...my hand gone, my hand gone
Baby, I am here now,
You're trying to have no fear
When you're around this hotel
Listen to me clear now, clear now
Baby, I am here now!
Chorus: (x2)
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slowly
And my heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow!
..only you can bring me to me
Baby, I'm falling, I'm falling
Can't you here me calling, calling
Yeah, yeah, yeah what you gonna do?
Better slow down, baby make it all last
Making it in the deep night, the deep night
Baby, I don't feel like, I feel like
Chorus:
My heart beats slowly,
My heart beats slowly,
And my heart beats slowly!
And what you know, is what you know
And the ...till your heart goes numb!
My heart beats slowly,
And my heart beats slowly!
Come on, baby, touch my body
Never stop it!
I'm gonna ride it all for you
I've been waiting all day
I can ride you, baby
But you make my heart slow
Chorus: (x2)
My heart beats slowly,
My heart beats slowly,
And my heart beats slowly!
And what you know, is what you know
And the kisses...till your heart goes numb!
My heart beats slowly,
And my heart beats slowly!
