From the character designs alone you can add Let's and Go, plus Dragon Quest.

There are a lot of song references in this.

Her human dad is also a pretty accomplished singer after all. Slated to be inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame this year too.

Sample song.

Makes me wonder if Global will have anything related to Year of the Horse, since we are still way behind.

I still love how it's just universal that Stay Gold is just some middle aged male bum even as an Uma.

A middle aged bum that's somehow quite charming at times.

Ayy. Stay Gold makes her debut in Ido's comics. Love her as much as Tachyon.

Stego's so handsome-looking in ido's artstyle

The texts are from a famous Chinese Song Ci, A Dream, to the Tune of Chiangch'entse, which was written by Su Dongpo in memory of his deceased wife and is regarded as the finest elegy ever written. But I'm not very sure about why it's quoted here, perhaps it's just the literal meaning.
And here is the whole work, translated by Lin Yutang:

A Dream, to the Tune of Chiangch'entse

Ten years have we been parted:
The living and the dead—
Hearing no news,
Not thinking
And yet forgetting nothing!
I cannot come to your grave a thousand miles away
To converse with you and whisper my longings;
And even if we did not meet
How would we greet
My weathered face, my hair a frosty white?

Last night
I dreamed I had suddenly returned to our home
And saw you sitting there before the familiar dressing table,
We looked at each other in silence,
With misty eyes beneath the candle light.
May we year after year
In heartbreak meet,
On the pine-crest,
In the moonlight!

If only this was canon...

God damn, it's a bit short of 20 years since I watched Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom (did we mention we have Phantoms?).

If only the story was good! Rather generic hitman kitch, as I remember it. Well, I hardly remember anything, but I remember not liking it.
