10/10 love this game.

8/10 Not Yoshi Clan theme

I remember Proton Jon starting this game up on stream at one point and complaining heavily about the title screen music, heh. This song is just... odd, and may be a bit too childish. Just a bit. 7.5/10.

Next, more rhythm game music. This is an extended version that comes from Yusuke Ceo's first album. He otherwise goes by the aliases of Starving Trancer, or more commonly these days, Xceon.

朧 (Oboro) / HHH×MM×ST
罪と罰 (Tsumi to Batsu)
Originally from pop'n music 20 fantasia

Spoiler: If you're wondering about that character visible in the album jacket...

Her name is moimoi, and she comes from the pop'n music series. She's an avatar version of the singer Mayumi Morinaga, as moimoi is one of her aliases, and was introduced in the same game as Oboro was. The album jacket comes from the jubeat and REFLEC BEAT series, which use album jackets for each song as opposed to banners like pop'n music does.

7.5/10
The first minute of this song is quite beautiful... piano solos make everything better. That said, the rest of the song has never really been my type of music, so I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have.

I've noticed that we haven't much 8-bit music around here lately... let's fix that!

 

[Stratelier]

3/5, can't really identify what kind of theme this song is going for. (Oh, and on a technical note I can tell it is GB music because no triangle wave.)

I've noticed that we haven't much 8-bit music around here lately... let's fix that!

Or at least a remix...

9.5/10 It filled me with determination.

Oh yeah, this battle theme. 8/10.
barely misses out on the full 10 because I've NEVER PLAYED CHRONO TRIGGER in my life.

Close, it's actually from Chrono Cross.

Composer: Koichi Sugiyama

10/10. Beautiful. Dunno if we should count remixes outside of the game though

10/10 a pure gamecube classic.
now for some songs that only japan could ever think of creating, thanks to the katamari damacy franchise.

8/10 usually I'm not that big of a fan of game music with vocals unless it's opera and sometimes rock, but this one is catchy.

Some parts of this song remind me a bit of Kingdom Hearts music. I like it, but it's also one of those songs that's better appreciated when you have something equally as sweeping and epic accompanying it.

Here's some more 8-bit music, this time from an NES game:

another game known for being weird.

 

[TouyaShiro]

OH YEAH, THIS SONG. From one of the Follin brothers, right? 9/10.
Greninja'd. Hold on, is this song supposed to be used for a specific stage in Smooth Moves? 8/10.

That said, the rest of the song has never really been my type of music, so I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have.

Well, you're lucky I didn't post the original or other extended versions of that song, then, because that piano solo at the beginning is exclusive to that version!

Dunno if we should count remixes outside of the game though

Did you even look at my last post!? Just asking real quick, lol

Now, it's been a long time since I posted anything related to Ridge Racer (if I even did at all), so apologies if this upcoming song has already been used in this thread! But with that in mind...

Rareheroes / sanodg

The delightfully insane sound of one of the OGs of the Ridge Racer composers graces this remix of one of the most prolific songs of the franchise, RARE HERO.

6/10-Meh.

yes, It plays in dribble and spitz story, where they are driving to the eponymous hill to get an alien back to his mothership (albeit they don't know that, as usual)
^ is 9/10 due to mother 3.

7.5/10-This is not the place I had heard of in Lampoon's Vacation movies.

Sorry Touya(@TouyaShiro) bringing back Kingdom Hearts.

This is quite a pretty version of the song, especially with the emphasis on piano.

At the risk of starting up the Kingdom Hearts train again (not that it would be a bad thing... ), I'll think I'll go post one of my favorite themes from the first game:

 

[Ryoma Maser]

8/10-Isn't this in every game?

Again sorry @TouyaShiro, you can rage quit before you are even in the thread.

[Tactician Karina]

10/10 it's my favorite theme from the first game as well!
Still 10/10, funny thing is I actually listened to this track last night!

I think I'll post a KH track also, if it's been posted before, again my apologies. I should apologize to @TouyaShiro as well for continuing the KH OST train.

 

[Scarlet Sky]

9/10.
Edit: Still 9/10.
