    Episode 211: Happy 4th Anniversary!

    This week, we are celebrating our four years of RE-VGM, showcasing covers and remixes of video game music and putting a spotlight on musicians who arrange, cover, and remix them. It was on February 2nd, back in 2022, that the first episode was released; it was on one particular track from “Kingdom Hearts” titled “Dearly Beloved” and three separate covers and remixes. From there the format slightly changed to a themed celebration with three original tracks and three inspired tracks. Later, “On Stage Now” was added to feature a musician or band and their works of covered or remixed VGM. For this episode, I take a look behind the numbers for this past year’s episode and play inspired from the top 3 episodes, according to the number of listens on the day of their releases: a video game about roller skating and tagging, three games displaying generosity, and a musician who takes his music to 11. Enjoy all of these tracks in celebration of RE-VGM’s four years podcasting and showcasing original VGM and their covers and remixes. Oh, and be sure to take a giant balloon of your favorite color on the way…     Track Listing Episode 195: Jet Grind Radio “Let Mom Sleep (No Sleep Remix)” – composed and remixed by Hideki Nagunuma “Everybody Jump Around [Arranged] – Richard Jacques – Jet Set Radio” – composed by Richard Jacques, arranged by Nightmare Burger “Sweet Soul Brother (B.B.Rights Mix)” – composed and remixed by Richard Jacques The Generosity of Gamers “Dehya Theme Music EXTENDED – Fiery Lioness | Genshin Impact” – [Genshin Impact] – composed by HOYO-MiX, remixed by tnbee “Helldivers II Main Theme – A Cup of Liber-tea – Epic Orchestral Cover” – [Helldivers II] – composed by Wilbert Roget II, covered by Karu “Winning the Soul” – [Umamusume: Pretty Derby] – composed by Makoto Miyazaki, covered by The Recovery System Episode 191: Vincent Moretto “Castlevania – Vampire Killer | METAL COVER” – [Castlevania] – composed by Kinuyo Yamashita “Yakuza 0 -Pledge of Demon | METAL REMIX” – [Yakuza 0] – composed by Hidenori Shoji “Ace Combat 7 – Anchorhead Raid | METAL REMIX” – [Ace Combat 7] – composed by Yusuke Yamauchi   YouTube playlist Discord channel   Source

    Episode 210: Doin' the Dinosaur (National Draw a Dinosaur Day)

    Admit it. There are times you get bored in the middle of a class or meeting, and suddenly, your hand starts doodling something: a UFO taking up a cow, an attempt to draw the Cool S, or stick figures having an impromtu fight. That happened to Todd Page while he was in an anthropology class. He got bored and started to doodle dinosaurs. Later, he encouraged others to doodle dinosaurs and then decided to declare it a holiday. Thus was born “National Draw a Dinosaur Day”, on January 30th. On this week’s episode, we’ll be playing tracks from video games that have dinosaurs in them: a post-apocalyptic time of classic cars and prehistoric creatures, a mighty warrior searching for pieces of a great weapon, and an agent trying to arrest a suspect in a lab riddled with ancient creatures. We’ve also got covers and remixes with each track. Prepare to get prehistoric and maybe ‘do the Dinosaur’…     Track Listing Intro and BGM: “Dinosaur Song”, composed by Johnny and June Cash, performed by Johnny Cash, from his album “The Johnny Cash Children’s Album” “Shooting Blindly – Brawl (STAGE 4-2, 5-2)” – [Cadillacs and Dinosaurs] – composed by Isao Abe, Syun Nishigaki “Cadillacs and Dinosaurs OST In the Garage [Synthwave remix]” – remixed by Sanctum Audio Productions “Lost Jungle” – [Turok: Dinosaur Hunter] – composed by Darren Mitchell “Turok: Dinosaur Hunter – Jungle (remix)” – remixed by DJ Mykah “Set You at Ease” – [Dino Crisis] – composed by Sayaka Fujitia “Dino Crisis Remake – Save Room Theme/Set You at Ease [Synth Cover]” – covered by Mono Memory   “National Draw a Dinosaur Day” Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (video game) Turok: Dinosaur Hunter (video game) Dino Crisis (video game)   YouTube playlist Discord channel   Source

    Episode 208: Keep "Dragon" My Heart for Them (National Appreciate a Dragon Day)

    Today on January 16th, we are celebrating “National Appreciate a Dragon Day”, in honor of one of the most popular and mystical creatures of lore, the dragon. They have been a part of many historical and current cultures since 4500 B.C., when they were carved as images onto jade and pottery in China. There are mentions of dragons in literature, such as St. George, Beowulf, and The Hobbit. In movies and anime, there are dragons in movies (Mushu from “Mulan”, Shenon from the Dragon Ball series, Haku from “Spirited Away”). With its long tail, majestic wings, and ferocious claws, and fearsome face, the dragon is a creature that is appreciated by all. For this week’s episode, we’ll be playing tracks from video games that feature dragons: a purple and spunky dragon saving the Kingdom, a great wyrm of the end of days, and a collection of high dragons during an Inquisition. We’ve also got covers and remixes to follow. Enjoy these tracks and feel a sense of appreciation for this creature of lore…   “National Appreciate a Dragon Day” “Appreciate a Dragon Day” “Puff the Magic Dragon” (song) Dragon’s Dogma – The Dragon Dragon Age: Inquisition – Dragon Hunter     Track Listing Intro and BGM: “Puff the Magic Dragon”, composed by Peter Yarrow and Leonard Lipton, performed by Peter, Paul, and Mary “Title Screen” – [Spyro the Dragon] – composed by Stewart Copeland “Spyro 1 Main Theme – lestrag Remix [Spyro the Dragon]” – remixed by lestraigVGM “Into Free ~Dangan~” – [Dragon’s Dogma] – composed by Takahiro Matsumoto, lyric by Shane Gaalaas and Koshi Inaba, performed by B’z “Dragon’s Dogma – Into Free (Dangan)” – covered by RyoX “Theme” – [Dragon Age: Inquisition] – composed by Trevor Morris “Dragon Age: Inquisition Theme “Epic Rock” Cover” – covered by LittleVMills   YouTube playlist Discord channel   Source

    Episode 207: Rage-quit!!! (Quitters Day)

    Some days, it’s a peaches and cream and everything seems all right. Other days, things are going horribly wrong and the world seems against you. When it becomes too much or the goals seem too far away, you’re ready to throw in the towel and call it quits. Today we’re celebrating Quitters Day, a time when most people, after getting themselves hyped up for their new year’s resolutions, start to fall back and eventually drop their efforts. A fitness app called Strava noted from user data that, while people set their exercise goals at the start of the new year, by the second Friday of January, their activity levels drop dramatically. So, Quitters Day was created to bring awareness of how fast motivation can fade and that it’s a common struggle that most face after the first rush of excitement wears off; it’s a good time to stop a moment and adjust your plans as needed, perhaps some small goals. For this week’s episode, though, we’ll be listening to tracks from video games I’ve played in which I struggled hard, sometimes to the point of just giving up and never finishing the game: a young boxer climbing the ranks to meet the World Champion, a son of a father seeking revenge from a ninja duel, and two amphibious dudes fighting their way to rescue their buddy and the Princess. Along with these original tracks we’ve got covers and remixes. Enjoy and just take a breather before you bury that controller into a wall…   Quitters Day     Track Listing “Fight Theme” – [Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!!] – composed by Yukio Kaneoka, Akito Nakatsuka, Kenji Yamamoto “Mike Tyson’s Punch Out (Synthwave Remix)” – remixed by Galactic Beatz “Act 4 Part 2” – [Ninja Gaiden] – composed by Keiji Yamagishi, Ryuichi Nitta “Stage 4-2 (The Amazing Ryu) goes harder | Ninja Gaiden | Unbreakable Determination Metal Version” – covered by Lame Genie “Turbo Tunner Part 2” – [Battletoads] – composed by David Wise “Darkman007 – 2021 – Metaltoads (Battletoads Cover NES) – 05 – Turbo Tunnel” – covered by Darkman007, from the cover album “Metaltoads (Battletoads Cover)” Outro: Audio clip from “Rocky Balboa”   YouTube playlist Discord Channel     Source

    Episode 206: Going Sci-Fi (National Science Fiction Day)

    Happy New Year, everyone! A new year, which means new possibilities. This means it’s a perfect time, especially today, to celebrate National Science Fiction Day, on January 2nd. Also the birthday of Isaac Asimov, this day is about all things science fiction, works of media that takes a hard look at technology mixed in with fantasy. Whether it was cyberpunk or steampunk, magic mixed with mechanical wonder, there was lots to imagine and possibly more to bring to reality. Authors, including Asimov, such as Jules Vernes, Ray Bradbury, H.G. Wells, and Kurt Vonnegut also write within the genre, about traveling across the world or through time, living in a dystopian society, or being abducted by aliens for their “zoo”. This week, we’ll be playing tracks from video games inspired by works of a science fiction writer or involved the writer along with their works: a young woman who awakens to the powers of her own mitochondria, a monster hunter with supernatural powers, and a soldier dealing a nuclear fallout in Russia. Following each track is a cover or remix. Have fun with these tracks and perhaps consider doing something science fiction related today…   “National Science Fiction Day” Parasite Eve (the novel) Dimitry Glukhovsky Reddit AMA thread       Track Listing “Plosive Attack” – [Parasite Eve] – composed by Yoko Shimomura “Parasite Even – Plosive Attack (Remake)” – remade by James Chin “Main Menu” – [The Witcher] – composed by Adam Skorupa, Pawel Blaszczak “The Witcher 1: Main Menu – (Remix/Warm up composition 2016)” – remixed by Fylip “Main Menu” – [Metro 2033] – composed by Alexei Omelchuk, Georgiy Belograzov “Metro 2033 Theme – Synthwave Remix” – remixed by Jadove   YouTube playlist Discord channel   Source

    Episode 205: The Generosity of Gamers

    Gamers have been criticized and scrutinized for lots of things. They’re not strong, have no realistic perceptions, narcissistic, and not dating material. They seem to be frivolous with their money, spending it on video games, consoles, accessories, and figures. Also, online controversies have divided people, distracting from the fun of gaming. However, gamers can also be generous with our money. While not reported on most familiar news outlets, there are charities which use video games to bring awareness to a cause and implore gamers to donate. They have livestream sessions of people playing certain games and collaborations with organizations with tie-ins to a game. For this week’s episode, I’ll be showcasing several video games that have a tie-in with a charity or donation drive as I play tracks from them: a Fiery Lioness with a heart for children, a campaign in the name of democracy, and a game inspired by real-life racing horses. Of course, we’ve got covers and remixes to follow. Hopefully I can change a few minds about how people see gamers, not as those who sit at their desk or chair staring at a screen while pressing some buttons or moving a stick; that gamers are willing to open their wallets for a passionate cause…   “Empowering Generosity: How a Plot in a Chinese Game is inspiring Gamers to Give Back” “Helldivers players saved the children, so Arrowhead Game Studios is making a donation to the Save the Children charity” “Gacha games and their communities/companies that have a done acts of philathropy” (Reddit)   Charity Organizations and Donations: Child’s Play Charity Extra Life Stack Up Project Hope Save the Children (International) Nice Nature Memorial Donation   Track Listing “Fervent Flame” – [Genshin Impact] – composed by HOYO-MiX “Dehya Theme Music EXTENDED – Fiery Lioness | Genshin Impact” – remixed by tnbee “A Cup of Liber-tee” – [Helldivers 2] – composed by Wilbert Roget II “Helldivers II Main Theme – A Cup of Liber-Tea – Epic Orchestral Cover” – covered by Karu “Winning the Soul” – [Umamusume: Pretty Derby] – composed by Makoto Miyazaku; vocals by Azumi Waki, Machino, Rika Kinugawa, Asuza Tadokoro, Akari Kito, Sumire Uesake, Hiyori Niita, and Yurina Amami “Winning the Soul – Umamusume: Pretty Derby | Full Cover Band” – covered by The Recovery System   YouTube playlist Discord channel   Source
