I've been studying some of the composition from the old Pokemon games lately. Aside from the various Bike riding songs, This one really caught my ear! I can't believe how intricately yet simply the different tracks work together! Composers for these gaming systems shined so much because of the way they learned to work around the limitations of their onboard sound chip!

I'm guessing some folks may have been thrown off by the title as not than many are aware that Anime Music is actually an entire Genre in Japan and other parts of the world and is packed with very gifted musicians/composers. Here is a classic. From the anime Saikano and the song is "hoshi no hate", composed by Takeo Miratsu (passed away 2006) played by a South Korean gal. The video clip has become a bit of a cult hit by itself. You may already know it




BTW: Very well done on your vid. The playing, the synching, the picture in picture, it's all just perfect. Killer job producing and putting it together.

Damn! Pretty cool

Black/White and Black/White 2 as some of my favorite pokemon tracks.






Damn I am feeling all nostalgic now.

All these Game Themes are not just great compositions but educational too!
Just take these examples from Zelda!!!
