Weekly Game Music: Endless Sky (Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles)
Remember Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles? Presumably, all the hardcore Final Fantasy fans greatly disliked the inability to level-up in that game. This, despite the extremely addicting multiplayer, the excellent graphics, and most importantly, poetic music. Without further ado, here’s Endless Sky by Kumi Tanioka. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is a story of 4 strong villagers…

Weekly Game Music: Credits (The Dog Island)
Every once in a while, I find a well-composed music from the least expected places. Case in point? The Credits music from The Dog Island. It’s composed by a huge team: Junko Ozawa, Etsuo Ishii, Minamo Takahashi, Junichi Nakatsuru, Rio Hamamoto, Yoshihito Yano, Tetsuya Uchida, and Tomomitsu Kaneko. Edit 3/31/13: Apparently the previous video got…

Weekly Game Music: Super Mario’s Sleigh Ride (Super Mario World)
Happy Holidays, everyone, and Merry Christmas to the respective Christian followers. Here’s a little special remix called Super Mario’s Sleigh Ride.

Super Mario World‘s music is originally composed by Kondo Koji; Sleigh…

Weekly Game Music: Jack-in-the-Box! (Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg)
Here’s a happy circus music from Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg: Jack-in-the-Box!, composed by Mariko Nanba and Tomoya Ohtani. It’s a relatively simple composition that experiments with many circus-related sound effects. It also doesn’t sound creepy, even when it’s dark. The plot behind Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg is simple: Morning Land, the…

Weekly Game Music: Lights (Lumines)
As far as I know, we only have one J-Pop music in this series (and the first one is more J-Jazz than -Pop), so lets bump that one more. Here’s Lights, sung by Eri Nobichika. The song appears in the excellent Tetris-based puzzle game, Lumines. Like Tetris, Lumines involves placing 2 x 2 blocks of…
