Strangely, the traffic to this site hasn’t dipped since it’s gone inactive, and the download count on every item on the front page have kept rising. Sweet – well, keep coming, because things are looking up here on my end. For now, a song I really like lately that isn’t from a game:

Mushihimesama Futari On the Verge of Madness
Mushihimesama Futari is the sequel to Mushihimesama, two super intense “shmups” whose final bosses are “the hardest ever”, according to Youtube. This is from the sequel, whose soundtrack I’ve come to be fonder of than the original. I’m not a shmup gamer, but I appreciate the art form from afar, and I appreciate the creativity it seems to consistently draw out of composers. Almost never is a Level 1 stage to a shmup not sickeningly catchy. “On the Verge of Madness” in particular is the Final Level music…ah, you can see them all on Youtube anyway. I recommend it, the games make purple dots an art form in themselves.

Thank you.
