Snagging the chance tonight to do this quick special shoutout posting; the other day as I was checking through the timeline for our music operation's Twitter account, we came across this posting from talented videogame music composer Tomoya Tomita - it came with his showcasing all of the songs that he did for Konami's Animaniacs game for the Super Nintendo system. This is what he wrote in the tweet which he showcases the work that he did for it:
"This is the first game I've ever done all the music and sound effects myself. I was staying in Chicago when I did this."
I'm very sure that this also included creating the Super Nintendo music instrument set itself done for the Animaniacs game in which thanks to "insiders", I'm able to use to cover certain modern Mario game songs today including, but not limited to stuff from Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Mario Sports Mix. And this is the guy to thank for creating that music instrument set in the first place; so we definitely salute you for this special contribution to the videogame music fan community, Tomita.
Once again, make sure to check out this Twitter posting from him sharing the overall musical score he composed for Konami's Animaniacs SNES game itself. Also, on a side note, he was also one of the composers/arrangers for another Konami SNES game, Castlevania: Dracula X. And as if that's not enough, he was one of the lead composers for the Nintendo Wii game Wario Land: Shake It! (which I've also done SNES music style arrangements of some of the songs from that game, which you can check out here); make sure to check the musical score itself from there as well in general.
Finally, for tonight, the series of Super Nintendo music instrument set polls that I've been doing on Twitter recently will be focusing on the Animaniacs game; if you are a confirmed follower there, please make sure to cast your votes for it when I get the poll posted shortly. And for those who aren't followers of our music operations there yet, don't forget to submit that follower request so you won't miss out on placing your vote on the upcoming aforementioned poll along with other related ones that I'll be doing afterwards. Take care until next time, all! I'm out.Source URL:
