    Episode 110 - Musical Therapy: An Interview w/ Norihiko Hibino

    Episode 110 - Musical Therapy: An Interview w/ Norihiko Hibino

    Music touches all aspects of the soul. It’s a large part of what makes us human. In tough times or happy moments and everything in between, music can be therapy in many ways and video game music is no different. On today’s episode, we sit down for a chat with Norihiko Hibino and listen to one of his favorite genre offerings: Jazz music. We listen to a few tracks from his latest album, Jazz Resort, Vol. 2. He talks about his influences (John Coltrane,) and shares stories about his time at Konami (What was lunch time like in Konami’s headquarters?) Mike asks some blatantly selfish questions about Castlevania and we learn about some close, personal composer friends of his. We also get to hear stories about Hideo Kojima and how Hibino’s hectic schedule worked when composing for multiple projects at the same time. For Konami, Metal Gear and Jazz fans, this is an episode you DO NOT want to miss!

    Huge thanks to Scarlet Moon Productions and Jayson Napolitano for making this happen for us! Check out Hibino’s album, Jazz Resort, Vol 2. Here: https://scarletmoonrecords.bandcamp.com/album/jazz-resort-vol-2

    Episode 108 - The NEC PC-FX

    Episode 108 - The NEC PC-FX

    In 1994, video game system manufacturers were just starting to shift into the realm of 3D-based video game consoles thanks to the fifth generation. But one company decided to continue building upon the legacy of 2D in the mid-90s with their final console release: NEC. The PC-FX was host to 62 games which utilized 2D animated content, with a focus on Japanese animation being highlighted in many of them. With a combination of redbook audio and the same sound chip that was in the PC-Engine (Turbo Grafx-16 for us North Americans,) the PC-FX was host to some incredible musical content. On this episode, Justin schools Mike on “swords and boards,” resident obscure game nerd Nick Carney stops by for a quick call and the boys chat about the wild and wacky world of eroge games! Join Mike and Justin as they analyze just some of the PC-FX’s tunes on the 108th episode of XVGM Radio!

    Episode 107 - Infernax w/ composer Jason Letourneau

    Though Halloween season is over, we’re still playing with gore! XVGM Radio sits down with VGM composer Jason Létourneau to discuss his music in the 8-bit modern retro classic, Infernax. Hear us grill Jason to learn about his process and how some of our favorite modern VGM composers helped him early in his game composing career. Rock out to some seriously sinister and chunky 8-bit riffs, along with stunning arpeggios and sweeping bass lines, all while learning everything you can about this ode to classic games like Castlevania 2: Simon’s Quest, Faxanadu and Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link. Mike and Justin get ready to carve up some wall meat, all while chatting about pie in this excellent composer interview!

    Episode 105 - The Musical History of Natsume Part 3

    Episode 105 - The Musical History of Natsume Part 3

    Continued from Episodes 99 and 102, Mike and Justin close out the musical history of the developer, Natsume Co. Ltd. After the split between Natsume Co. Ltd. and Natsume Inc, Natsume Co. Ltd. would continue to work on developing games, mostly on the Super NES and eventually handhelds like the Game Boy Color. Here is where we get to see a bigger shift in focus to games based on licensed IPs as well as being published by the likes of companies such as THQ, Crave, and of course Natsume Inc. Continuing to explore the exciting music from Natsume legends like Iku Mizutani, Kinuyo Yamashita and Hiroyuki Iwatsuki, its a bit bittersweet to close out this look back at the incredible run Natsume has had in video games and video game music. However, right around the corner is the modern re-investment into some of Natsume’s most beloved titles courtesy of Tengo Project, a small group of original Natsume devs who are still with the company today. But for now, join us as we close out this exciting listen to Natsume’s musical history books.

    We hope you’ve enjoyed our three part journey through Natsume’s musical history. Do you have any Natsume songs you can recommend to us? Shoot us an email at XVGMRadio@gmail.com or join in on the discussion at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/XVGMradio
