One of the best!
Jesus I thought he died thanks to this thread title.
WWII was a war of horrors on both sides. Neither side was innocent.

Auron had previously edited out a comment, stating that "pretty sure dropping nuclear bombs on women and children is worse..."That's a fantastic response to arguments nobody made.
Just kidding. It's a pretty terrible response to arguments nobody made.
I think he just did the music for the original PC-98 game. I'm suspicious because the SNES game has some great arrangements of the PC-98 tracks, but everything that's new to that version are those grating 5-second loops that play in the land areas.Oh shit he did the music of EVO? I love that game
Well, Polanski is at a much further point on the spectrum since he should have been in prison, not directing films.The historical revisionism is pretty stupid, but it comes across as kinda sad denial and refusal to believe his country did some seriously messed up stuff. He was pretty damn young and obviously isn't speaking from first hand experience.
Not trying to defend historical revisionism but I don't think it detracts from his (pretty damn amazing) work. I understand not wanting to see, say, a Roman Polanski movie, because thing's he's done can affect your perception of his work, and your brain kinda sees things in his movies in a different light knowing what he's done. I think holding delusional political beliefs is something that doesn't affect his work at all, and it's very easy to completely separate IMO
Considering that he uses his fame and fortune to lobby in favor of an abhorrent cause I hope not.He's brought a lot of joy into my life. Don't know anything about his views or whatever, and I reserve the right to not care due to the separation of art and artist. May he live long!
and Japan's got BUCKETS of it!
Sugiyama hasn't been grooming either Matsuo or Motoaki Takenouchi AFAIK, even though both musicians studied under him more than two decades ago. It's a damn shame neither are doing high profile game music these days, but unsurprising since Matsuo's got steady work under Kohei Tanaka and Takenouchi's more apt to experiment (taught at a conservatory, wrote/orchestrated theater music, plays in a pop band, &c.).And last I heard, he was grooming Hayato Matsuo. Matsuo sort of has his own stuff going on though, so not sure if he'd necessarily be his "successor"

I missed this gem
It was a big surprise. It's originally from DQ3 and it's probably one of the best throwbacks in the series.I am not even all that big on Dragon Quest, but god damn, Heavenly Flight from DQ8 gets me every time.
Come on guys, he has some really really shitty views, but wishing him dead? Not cool.
I don't wish for anyone to die, but I sincerely feel that modern Japanese society will be better off when all the conservative nationalists from the old generations are no longer alive to actively fund and campaign their distorted agendas which have no place in the world today.
I love DQ music, but I definitely won't be sad when he goes.
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it gets setup as a topic derailer. He's had a long career but also uses his fame to spread his inaccurate beliefs. And yes it does matter, are you going to tell me it doesn't matter if people deny the holocaust as well? People should just "get the fuck over it" eh?

I think that's a shitty view. Should i derail every thread you post in because you hold a view I find shitty?
It does matter, but in that instance you could just, you know, make a separate thread discussing their Holocaust denial.

I mean Jesus, people, let's just be happy for him in this thread about his achievements and pile shit on him elsewhere.
Who is the second oldest VGM composer, btw?
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Every genius has an asshole side, and I will not try to cling on it much.

Although his score for Ideon is fantastic, I associate Ideon mainly with its singer Isao Taira.
And while I think DQ music does sound nice, I don't have any attachment to it.
So all these slime avatars defending this awful person by trying to play devil's advocate because vidyagames isn't giving DQ a good look for me.
