December 2024 Greetings: Preparing For The "Final Stretch" Of This Year; What's Up Ahead...?

Posted by Merit Celaire on Thursday, December 5, 2024 - 10:11 PM

Many apologies for the delay on this formal "monthly greetings blog entry", faithful friends/followers/listeners of these music operations as a whole, everyone; I've finally found an opening in my schedule to see about writing this tonight as we now are in the final month of 2024, and it's definitely go time.

As stated in the blog entry before this one, I've been recently dealing with a lot of work obligations outside of here including dealing with one earlier today; after I finish write this, I have to see about dealing with another one during the course of tomorrow as well to finish out the work week itself (and it's a very important one); I sure hope this does answer your questions in regards to why you haven't seen any action from yours truly on the music operations frontend.

Speaking of which, and to get back to focus - no, I still haven't forgotten about trying to get more progress made so we can get some new Super Nintendo music styled arrangement postings done before the 2024 year is out. Details are still under lock and key in regards to what's being worked on, but I can share briefly that recently on the backend, I've been sorting out new song candidates to do the "music arangement process" which involve these following games (but are not limited to): Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch), Super Mario Party Jamboree, Mario Golf: Super Rush. I just need a much clearer head between now and next week to figure out what are my next moves according to my planbook to get this done because I know for certain we seriously need to get this backlog down before the 2024 year comes to a close. Hopefully, the odds will be in my favor so we can at least get started on making some serious progress on this angle between now and the end of this year; will keep you all posted.

In the meantime, and this bears repeating: please don't hesitate to let me know via this online suggestion form what certain songs you still hope from recent Mario game series installments (main, spinoff, and branched) I should consider for my planbook in the weeks to come; as stated earlier, this even includes songs candidates targeting the score of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) and Super Mario Party Jamboree since the materials there have really gotten my attention recently for me to find candidates from them. This process is still nothing without all of you faithful friends/followers/listeners of these entire music operations as a whole to back me up, and I do not take this for granted. So here's hoping that we can finish the 2024 year strong here, starting now.

Until then, I have to end this blog entry post for now and rest up for tomorrow to take care of more work obligations as shared earlier. And as always, if you have any further questions about what has been written on this formal monthly greeting blog entry itself, please don't hesitate to let me know via this main contact online form. Take care until next time around, awesome people, and I'll see you folks later.

A Few Important Reminders During This "Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend"

Posted by Merit Celaire on Friday, November 29, 2024 - 09:12 PM

Good evening, friends; yours truly has finally snagged the chance during the course of this Friday night to let you all know of a few important reminders and whatnot as we prepare to head into the final month of this 2024 year. I'll try my best to keep each one short, but this is what needs to be shared with you all before I really switch gears into the "weekend mode" for real.

(1) Regarding Correspondence During This "Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend"
First of all, as many of you know, we are currently in the "Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend" at this time and as a result, I won't be dealing with any music operations related email correspondence at this time until this coming Wednesday of next week (which would be 12/4/2024). The other reason for this announcement is because I also will be dealing with work obilgations outside of these music operations as a whole that will apparently have me literally occupied for both this coming Monday and Tuesday at the start of the new month. This also means that my formal monthly greetings blog entry for the month of December won't be written until during the case of that same 12/4/2024 date. I appreciate everyone's understanding about this in advance and apologies for any inconveniences caused here.

(2) Possible New Super Nintendo Music Styled Arrangement Covers Incoming For December
So as you can see from our "Music Arrangements Progress Page", I'm still sorting out what upcoming song covers should be focused on to make progress on in the coming weeks and see about getting them posted prior to the Christmas holiday period or before year's end. Still no guarantees, but I do know this one thing for certain that the overall queue number needs to get down again. Details are still under lock and key in terms of what songs I've been recently targeting to do the music arrangement cover process on; but I hope that after this weekend itself (as well as dealing with important work obligations on this coming Monday and Tuesday) that I'll have a much clearer head on what should be taken care of on the backend. I can also say that I did finish a cover of a "staff credits" song; but you'll have to wait and see what staff credits song in question was covered in due time. Bottom line: be on the lookout for new postings during the course of December; you all will not be disappointed.

(3) Reminder About Our "Song Candidate Suggestions" Online Forms
Which also brings me to also sharing this reminder: don't forget to let me know via this online suggestion form what songs in question you hope will hit my planbook for upcoming Super Nintendo music styled arrangement covers in the weeks and months ahead. This also gives me an idea in terms of possible candidates I should search for as well in the months to come.

That's all from me for now as I'm starting to get very sleepy and need to turn in for the night after coming back home from a very long day of work obligations. But as stated earlier, if you have any further questions in regards to what has been shared in this post itself today, please don't hesitate to let me know; just remember that it won't be until the course of this coming Wednesday in regards to my getting back with you on any correspondence received for review at that time. Take care until next time around, everyone, and I'll see you awesome people later.

Yasuaki Iwata Departs the Nintendo Company

Posted by Merit Celaire on Wednesday, November 6, 2024 - 04:12 PM

Good afternoon, all; we've just received this news related to the Nintendo company itself - another very talented music composer has departed the group to work on other freelancer projects: Yasuaki Iwata.

Yasuaki Iwata is known to have composed many unique songs for Nintendo's many franchises; for the Super Mario franchise itself which we also focus on in my doing Super Nintendo music styled arrangement covers for them, Iwata was known for doing songs for Super Mario 3D World and Mario Kart 8. According to sources, Iwata departed the company during July of last year, but only made this post on Twitter (X) recently to confirm the announcement itself.

We'd like to take a moment to also give this same Yasuaki Iwata our thanks for their great contributions to the Nintendo company as a whole on the music front which includes the Super Mario franchise along with wishing him the best in his future endeavors outside of Nintendo. Take care for now until next time around, everyone.
