Hitoshi Sakimoto: Abandoning Power

One listen, and to be honest I thought I’d have more to say. It’s a short piece but a rich one, but not much came forward. Happens. Hitoshi Sakimoto’s (崎元 仁) “Abandoning Power” (“捨て去りし力”) is from the soundtrack for Final … Continue reading

Hitoshi Sakimoto: The Dalmasca Estersand

One listen. I think I’ve thought about doing this one before and didn’t. Decided to give it a go a few days ago, and now have done it, and I’m not sure what to make of what I wrote. Could … Continue reading

Hitoshi Sakimoto: Eruyt Village

One listen. Heard this song for the first time in a while a few days ago. Onto the list of things I wanted to write about very soon after. Threw myself in and I think I got a little stuck, … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: Opening Theme

One listen. Wanted to write about this song for a few days and had concerns that I already had, but apparently I hadn’t, unless I did, in which case I can’t find what I wrote, so… yeah. I think I … Continue reading

Blind Idiot God: 747

One listen. Threw myself in, got some result. More on the descriptive side of things than I’d have liked, but it gets the song across. Blind Idiot God’s “747” is from Cyclotron. I hope you enjoy. — Tense, quiet, ominous. … Continue reading

Underworld: Techno Shinkansen

One listen. There was a first attempt that didn’t go anywhere beyond a few words. reattempted later in the day, the words came out a lot easier. Not a great writing overall, but does give an idea of the song. … Continue reading

Yasunori Nishiki: Dear Travelers

One listen. I think that, from what I wrote (I wrote this one a few days ago; none of the writings from songs of the same soundtrack were shared on the day they were written), I was thinking more about … Continue reading

Yasunori Nishiki: Ruins Immemorial

One listen. This one came easy, and the drama of it felt more fitting too. I think I was able to get enough down, and overall there’s a decent idea of the song. Yasunori Nishiki’s (西木 康智) “Ruins Immermorial” (“悠久の遺跡”) … Continue reading

Yasunori Nishiki: Gloomy Grotto

One listen, and here I swerved off a bit, though maybe it doesn’t seem like it. I think it’d be better to say that I swerved away from how I wanted to write, but that doesn’t matter too much anyway … Continue reading

Yasunori Nishiki: Seaside Town

One listen and I don’t feel I wrote enough, or well enough. I’ve noticed that with some of Yasunori Nishiki’s compositions is that he’s quite willing to go for the dramatic push after the “lower” section, and it’s interesting until … Continue reading
