Shoji Meguro: Living With Determination
This one was written over three listens. I was trying to get across what I think the song is trying to get across and it didn’t quite work. Probably could’ve done more, but that did not happen, so yeah. Shoji … Continue reading
Hitoshi Sakimoto: Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter – Opening Animation
Three listens for this one. This is a brief song and so the writing reflects that. However, I feel that perhaps I could’ve written more. I didn’t aim to capture anything in particular, but in saying that I feel as … Continue reading

Motoi Sakuraba: We Form in Crystals
I’ve wanted to write about this one for a while, but kept on forgetting about it. It’s an interesting song. Very straightforward in ways, but also carries an air of mystery, so to speak. This was written over one listen. … Continue reading

Yasunori Mitsuda: Chronopolis
Two listens for this one. I wanted to write about this song for a little while, but I probably should’ve done it in the morning when I’d be less tired than I am now. I feel I should’ve given this … Continue reading

Senyawa: Alkisah Review
This is another review where most of it remained as is after a very lazy editing process that has taken most of today. I wrote this all out last week over a short period and decided to once more not … Continue reading
Senyawa: The Ocean Review
I wrote most of this over one listen last week and left it mostly intact. It’s not a great (or necessarily a good) writing by any stretch of the imagination, but I really like how it feels a bit like … Continue reading
Nobuo Uematsu: Another Nightmare
I thought this was going to be more difficult to write but I had an easy time. Three listens and focused on describing the song. Sort of did alright. Could’ve done better, but it was a bit of a fight … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: Searching for Friends
Three listens for this one. The approach here was much looser. Sort of aimed for a blend but also didn’t. Just let it all happen and… yeah. The below result. Nobuo Uematsu’s (植松 伸夫) “Searching for Friends” (“仲間を求めて“), is from … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: Terra’s Theme
This was written over three listens. Wasn’t really aiming for anything in particular with this one. Just started with trying to get the start down and let it run from there. End result is a bit of a mess, but … Continue reading

Yoko Kanno: Pulse
This was written over three listens. I’m not sure as to if I was aiming for anything in particular or not. Regardless, I feel that in some parts this is awkward, whereas others it’s smooth. Yoko Kanno’s (菅野 よう子) “Pulse” … Continue reading
