Masashi Hamauzu (little side project)

Is there actual text to confirm his involvement or are you making the assumption based on the similarity in style? Does the game have anything to do with Square Enix or a subsidiary?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ahh, fascinating. Based on your info, Hamauzu's involvement seems much more plausible. I learnt about Naoshi Mizuta's involvement in The Shochu Bar a while ago but I didn't realize that it was ripped. Thanks for that. Is the Internet game Elebest, composed by Square Enix's Ai Yamashita and Masayoshi Soken, also related to this company (and if so, did you ever rip it)?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, I have something official to announce too. I love you, CHz. I really appreciate you and Katchum making this obscure work known.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Another really short rip: 10 tracks totaling 4:14 in length. I actually really like the style here and wish the tracks were longer.

This is the first Flash game rip I've made where the extracted audio files actually had names, so I just stuck with those for the track names. Also, two of the tracks were actually tagged! This is why tracks 2 and 10 can definitely be credited to Soken, whereas the other eight are up in the air. Yamashita might have done them all, but I have no way to be sure.

Wonderful! Thanks again.

Personally, I'm inclined to say tracks 1, 4, and 6 are Soken too -- they're very much like Mario Basket 3 on 3 in terms of style. Tracks 3, 5, 7, 8, and 9 are maybe Yamashita.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Anyway, the link CHz gave definitely confirms Hamauzu's involvement.

Well I'm an idiot. Turns out PQTN announced it at SEMO even before this thread was made but I somehow skipped an entire page of posts.

How ya doing, buddy?

I learnt from Kago at SEMO that Junya Nakano was also the composer of .JP ~ Bring Back the Internet by the same company. Would you consider ripping this too, CHz? It'd be interesting to see how Nakano treats this project.

I've heard things about Nobuooo deleting news links to high-profile sites that Jeriaska has bad associations with, so I wouldn't exactly call it a reliable or objective source of news links. Haven't used it to link to mine but I'd probably get the same treatment due to exposing my bad experiences with Jeriaska. Neat idea though.

How ya doing, buddy?

That's me. Given I am anything but a Star Wars fan, I felt I needed a more mysterious name. Having had a year's experience with Jeriaska, I think I am in an adequate position to make such comments. Unlike others, I am not under the restriction of editors to censor what I say about the controversial situation, but editors at another site are literally ripping their hair out because of him. I just await to hear the nightmare stories of those currently working with Jeriaska. The bitter Zanasea is one such person -- you can reasonably argue that he is no position to pretend to be objective.

Thank you for the rip Taisai. There isn't much music despite all the tracks, but there were a few nice new age pieces. Interesting listen.

FELIPE NO
