Masashi Hamauzu: Mysteries Abound
This was written over two listens. I was aiming to talk more about imagery but that didn’t quite come through. I think I slipped into review mode once more. That said, I think I did an acceptable job in terms … Continue reading

Junya Nakano: The Summoning
This was written over six listens. “The Summoning” is quite short, but also quite complete in its composition. It gets across what it needs to and does so without wasting a moment. When I first started I wasn’t sure as … Continue reading

Two listens for this one. I was mostly looking to write about imagery and some of that came through, but I feel as though I forced myself too much. Tadayoshi Makino’s (牧野 忠義) “Village on the Sea, Moga” (“海上の村、モガ”) is … Continue reading

Masato Kouda: The Nightless City, Guara Bobelo
Two listens for this writing. I wanted to just describe the song and I think I did that, but not well. With that being said, I’m fine with the result. I feel the writing is mostly smooth and at least … Continue reading
Hiroki Kikuta: Where Angel Fear to Tread
This was written over two listens. I wrote about this one as I kind of wanted to compare it to the opening track for Secret of Mana. They’re similar tracks in terms of mood, but how they carry themselves is … Continue reading

Two listens here. Had no idea as to what I wanted to capture here and so I went ahead and… I’m not sure as to what I’ve done here. Hiroki Kikuta’s (菊田 裕樹) “Fear of the Heavens” (“天使の怖れ”) is from … Continue reading
