Description:
Osamu Sakuraba Releases Two Brand-New, Original Titles Simultaneously! Osamu Sakuraba, a composer and keyboardist with an overwhelming presence in the world of video game music. Having contributed to countless classic games—including the *Star Ocean*, *Valkyrie Profile*, and *Tales of* series—he is simultaneously releasing two entirely new albums! These works prominently feature synthesizers, making full use of a variety of keyboards—including the Hammond C3, Minimoog, Prophet-10, Mellotron, and acoustic piano—as well as various synthesizers, drum machines, acoustic drums, and software sound sources. The album features a lineup of tracks whose titles alone spark the imagination, constructing a fantastical and dramatic soundscape that evokes themes such as light and darkness, memory, time, and emotion. In this work, Osamu Sakuraba’s dedication to synthesizers is felt even more clearly, and the sound image he himself cites is one reminiscent of the intro to “Alaska” by the progressive rock band U.K. From there, the album unfolds into a fantastical and dramatic world that expands into synthesizer sounds reminiscent of Tangerine Dream. In contrast to *Philosophical Return*, which emphasized the dynamic energy of a live band sound, this 15-track album constructs a more introspective and fantastical world through electronic sounds and keyboards. It also includes liner notes with Sakuraba’s own commentary on every track—a feature sure to delight fans. This album comes highly recommended not only for video game music fans but also for fans of progressive rock and electronic music.
