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 →

Yasunori Nishiki: Hinoeuma

One listen. I tried to throw myself in and think about what I was writing at the same time, and I think some of it works and some of it could be better, but overall I think this represents the … Continue reading →

Shunsuke Tsuchiya: Earth and the Wind

One listen. Heard this song for the first time a few days ago, wanted to write about it, procrastinated, threw myself in just now. Bit of a productive morning, and far more so than usual but I’m just trying to … Continue reading →

Yasunori Nishiki: Among Stately Peaks

One listen. This mostly came easy, and I’m happy about that, but I feel I also sort of didn’t let myself breathe enough. I think I could’ve pulled more from the song. Yasunori Nishiki’s (西木 康智) “Among Stately Peaks” (“悠然たる山腹の街”) … Continue reading →

Yasunori Nishiki: River of Life

One listen, though I did restart early on, and there was a point where I had to pause as I wasn’t sure if I’d heard something correctly. This did have an overall impact on the writing, though I’m not sure … Continue reading →

Tim Larkin: Air Stream

One listen and it felt quick, and I struggled a bit, but that’s okay. Need to stop drawing out these sentences. I heard the song last night and decided to do it, but I don’t think I was loose enough … Continue reading →

Masashi Hamauzu: March of the Dreadnoughts

One listen. Threw myself in, had to play catch up for a bit and got there in the end. Not great, but parts of the song are covered well enough. Masashi Hamauzu’s (浜渦 正志) “March of the Dreadnoughts” (“ドレッドノート大爆進!”) is … Continue reading →

Bluelighter: At the End of the Road (Ruins of Lemuria)

One listen. I’d been meaning to ramble about this song for a week or more now. Didn’t get around to doing so until now. Probably should’ve done it sooner as I think a bit of what it could’ve been has … Continue reading →
