Three freaking hours of game music on the piano. I have no idea who this guy is, but this video is pretty awesome. While he plays a whole lot of stuff I can’t identify (again, there’s three hours of it), I did pick up on the first track from an Idol game that was also featured on the recently reviewed EXTRA albums, as well as some Chrono Trigger a little ways in, and an impressive arrangement of “Polyanna (I Believe in You)” from the Mother series at the 107:45 mark.

What’s more, this guy has apparently been recording more shows since then (this one was recorded on May 8). The most recent episode is much more manageable at just under 40 minutes in length, but still, that’s a lot of game music to absorb! There’s a lot of great music here that you may not be familiar with, and all the narration is in Japanese, unfortunately, but it’s worth digging through.

What do you think of Professor Sakamoto’s live piano performances? Think he’s on to something?

[Thanks Dale!]
