Question: Which was released first, Meru or The City?
Context: Onimusha: Warlords, released in Japan as "Onimusha" (鬼武者 ) , is an action-adventure video game and the first entry of the "Onimusha" series, released first for the PlayStation 2 in 2001.  Later it was released in an updated form as Genma Onimusha (幻魔 鬼武者 ) for the Xbox in 2002.  The original "Onimusha: Warlords" version was also ported to Microsoft Windows, although this version was only released in Asia and Russia. "Hard to Explain" is the first single from New York garage rock band The Strokes (their only previously released material was "The Modern Age" EP).  It was released first in the UK and was later released in the US with different album artwork.  (The UK version has a photo of two chairs, one red and one black, facing the camera.  The chairs appear to be in a diner or restaurant of some sort.)  Because this single is the first from their debut LP "Is This It", "Hard to Explain" made the anticipation for the album proper very high, and when "Is This It" did come out it was widely hailed as one of the best of the year.  The B-side of this single, "New York City Cops" was omitted from the US version of the album in the wake of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center (the chorus to the song contains the lines "New York City cops/They ain't too smart"). By the end of the 1940s, the nervous energy and tension of bebop was replaced with a tendency towards calm and smoothness, with the sounds of cool jazz, which favoured long, linear melodic lines.  It emerged in New York City, as a result of the mixture of the styles of predominantly white swing jazz musicians and predominantly black bebop musicians, and it dominated jazz in the first half of the 1950s.  The starting point were a series of singles on Capitol Records in 1949 and 1950 of a nonet led by trumpeter Miles Davis, collected and released first on a ten-inch and later a twelve-inch as the "Birth of the Cool".  Cool jazz recordings by Chet Baker, Dave Brubeck, Bill Evans, Gil Evans, Stan Getz and the Modern Jazz Quartet usually have a "lighter" sound which avoided the aggressive tempos and harmonic abstraction of bebop.  Cool jazz later became strongly identified with the West Coast jazz scene, but also had a particular resonance in Europe, especially Scandinavia, with emergence of such major figures as baritone saxophonist Lars Gullin and pianist Bengt Hallberg.  The theoretical underpinnings of cool jazz were set out by the blind Chicago pianist Lennie Tristano, and its influence stretches into such later developments as Bossa nova, modal jazz, and even free jazz.
