Video game music thing, #24: Unforgettable Music
This was supposed to be "Music You Constantly Have Stuck in Your Head", but due to our brainweirdness, that's not really a theme that has an answer.
So instead, an approximation: Unforgettable Music. And for that theme, sticking with the theme of less well-known games, I'm going to go with the track Solar Boy Django, from the soundtrack to Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django, composed by Norihiko Hibino, Shuichi Kobori, Masashi Watanabe, Kazuki Muraoka, Akihiro Honda, Waichiro Ozaki, and Nobuko Toda. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find individual track credits anywhere.

A post-apocalyptic spaghetti western with vampires is a concept only Kojima could hope to pull off, really.

Video game music thing, #23: Underrated Music
I debated what to put here for a while, but then remembered that, for some reason, a lot of people dislike Harmony of Dissonance's soundtrack. So let's go with Offense and Defense, from the soundtrack to Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, by Soshiro Hokkai and Michiru Yamane.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3y7S6YmUFg
People complain about this soundtrack's sound quality, but we're pretty sure that was largely the point. It uses basic wave shapes--square, sawtooth, triangle--rather than the more realistic instruments the GBA was capable of, because those basic shapes sound harsher, more "dissonant"--fitting for a game called Harmony of Dissonance that its soundtrack be made up of "dissonant" notes playing in harmony.

Video game music thing, #22: Town/Village Music
Some of the most relaxing, calm, and overall *fitting* town music we've ever heard is Rising Tide from the Suikoden soundtrack, composed by Miki Higashino, Tappy Iwase, Hiroshi Tamawari, Hirofumi Taniguchi, and Mayuko Kageshita.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-J3Y1EBvWM
This plays in the quiet lakeside villages of Teien and Rikon, and its slow, relaxed pace suits those villages perfectly.

Video game music thing, #21: Music You Associate with Frustration
Undeniably, without a doubt, Final Battle from Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen.
Fuck that fight.
Great music though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3CNy_PvyBA
Composed by Yuzo Koshiro and Yukihiro Jindo.

Video game music thing, #20: Music from a Racing Game
This didn't take much deliberation: Frozen Hillside, from the soundtrack to Kirby Air Ride, composed by Shogo Sakai, Jun Ishikawa, Hirokazu Ando, and Tadashi Ikegami.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTOt8uUBj4A
Kirby Air Ride is an underappreciated game in general, but its music definitely stands out--Kirby games nearly always have great music, and this is no exception. It *was* actually difficult to decide which track to select for this one--definitely give Checker Knights, Sky Sands, and Forest Stage a listen as well!

Video game music thing, #19: Cover of Music by a Different Artist
This is a tough one--we don't know many covers of tracks by a different artist that show up in video games!
Eventually, I decided to go with Vermilion City, from Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4u0FAJIvwg
This soundtrack was composed by Junichi Masuda and Go Ichinose together, but this specific track was arranged by Go Ichinose from the original (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7fWDQgCrjU by Junichi Masuda).
This track changes the upbeat, energetic tone of the gen 1 music to something calm and relaxed. You've already beaten the elite four and are here for a vacation in gen 2; your adventure is winding down, not ramping up like in gen 1. And the rearrangement really helps that mood--not just this track, but many others in gen 2's Kanto region feel calm, relaxed, and nostalgic. Which is exactly what they were going for.
