I really missed the boat on this one. I was turned on to KOKIA through her work on our 2011 soundtrack of the year, Final Fantasy XIII-2. She was responsible for singing “Noel’s Theme,” and when I saw that she had recently put out a collection of music featuring her work from other games and…

Izumi Tsukushi and Akio Shiraishi told us there would be several music releases over the course of 2012 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy. We’ve already reviewed the first PIANO OPERA album, but this DVD recording celebrating the anniversary of Final Fantasy XI was actually the first release in this celebration. Recorded on…

We’ve covered a lot of DJMAX over the years, enjoying its unique blend of Korean-infused electronic and pop music.

After hearing Keigo Hoashi’s piano arrangements from the 15 Nightmares & Arrange Tracks album, I think everyone had the desire for a NieR piano collections CD tucked away in the back of their minds. When we were told there was a secret NieR project in the works to be released after NieR Tribute Album -echo-,…

I had a blast putting together a feature with Akira Yamaoka on his score for the upcoming shmup title on Xbox Live Arcade, Sine Mora, that hit Destructoid yesterday. In addition to featuring several clips of music from the game, Yamaoka offers insight into how he went about creating the game’s unique 1970s electronic funk…

We really dug the original Trauma Center soundtrack that SuperSweep put out last year. It featured a nice blend of jazzy electronic tracks, and the addition of the Wii version tracks was a nice touch. A few months later, SuperSweep released the soundtrack for Trauma Center 2, which takes an all new direction. Responsible for…
