Masters of VGM is BACK for 2023!
Many of your favorite video game music podcasts are returning, this time to celebrate composers who we feel might have missed out last year because they were either too new or not well-known enough to be immediately considered “masters” of the craft. However, as we hope to showcase this year, many of them are truly gifted in spite of their up-and-coming status, or are simply unsung heroes of VGM composition.
So please join us once again in June (give or take a couple weeks) 2023 as we collectively celebrate the Masters of VGM: Unsung and Up-and-Coming composers who have provided us with the music we all love!
The Podcast crossover event of the summer crashes into the VGM Fight Club ring. Todays Fighters Lounge focuses on the one and only Yuzo Koshiro. A full 26 tracks of his music will be played on today’s episode as I give a brief history on this legendary composer’s career. All these tracks are bangers with a few being near and dear to not only my heart but those around the world. Thus proving why this man is a Master of VGM!!!!!
The podcast is back with another filler episode of Finally game music, this time we’re joining the event called ”The Masters of VGM”, and for this one Chris have selected three of his favorite composers from West to East, Glenn Stafford, Jesper Kyd and Nobou Oematsu.
We listen to both old and new and what does Chris have to add inbetween?
Welcome to yet another episode of Finally game music!
Welcome back! This month barSILENCE is celebrating the Masters of VGM podcasting event with two shows. For this episode we’re going to listen to music from my first two selections for as Masters of VGM, Jun Chikuma and Yasunori Mitsuda.

All your favorite VGM podcasters are doing a series called “Masters of VGM”, where we do episodes devoted to our four favorite video game composers. For my first entry into this series, I’m going through the greatest hits (and a few other songs) of my favorite VGM composer, Nobuo Uematsu.
Welcome to one of the four episodes in “The Masters of VGM”, an event during the month of June in which participating VGM podcasters get to talk about their love and admiration for certain composers.
This week’s episode will focus on Hitoshi Sakimoto, a composer who started wanting to learn how to make video games and ended up founding a company that composes music and produces sound effects for them. We’ll be playing several songs, from his earliest solo piece to his current work. We’ll also talk about his relationship with Square, a few of the composers he’s worked with, and some of his influences.
So, sit back and enjoy Part One of “The Masters of VGM”.
