Being a huge fan of Malice Mizer and Moi dix Mois, I decided to check out Kanon Wakeshima, since Mana, the man behind the other groups I mentioned. I immediately fell in love with her live cello playing and the beautiful artistry found within her music videos. When I heard that she was going to…

Have you ever heard of a shmup series called Gradius? Well, I’ve only heard music from Gradius V, composed by Hitoshi Sakimoto, but recently, a WiiWare game, entitled Gradius ReBirth, featuring music arranged by Manabu Namiki of Basiscape.

Bayonetta has actually been near the top of my must-own games for 2009 since it was announced. Directed by the creator of the Devil May Cry series, Hideki Kamiya, it hopes to provide over-the-top cutscenes and gameplay full of innuendo. Yesterday, I was able to get a small preview of the music via a developer-driven…

So, did you think we let Kalafina get away without an interview after reading our coverage of their weekend concert at Anime Boston 2009 that went live this morning? Think again! Shortly after the concert and autograph session was over, OSV contributor Tommy Ciulla and I were fortunate to sit down with Yuki Kajiura and…

Over the three day weekend, I was privileged and honored to see Kalafina’s US debut concert at the Anime Boston convention at the Hynes Convention Center. Although the Boston-based VGO was opening for Kalafina (we’ll be publishing impressions of the VGO performance in the coming days), I was more interested in hearing what songs Kalafina…

Anyone who is an avid VGM collector like myself knows that importing soundtracks can get pretty pricey. Not only is music more expensive overseas, but factor in shipping costs, and you have quite a conundrum if you’re short on cash!
