I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.

Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.


I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.


Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.

Translation: Oh My! Wow! More Songs Day? I Hear you!

Shortening the intro. I think there's been enough episodes!

The tag is #HotJamsOfGaming, if you wish to follow/mute!
This is a series to spotlight games with good music within it, but I seldom hear discussed. My goal is for folks spend just a few minutes listening to the music here and possibly following up with the rest of the OST.

My random musings below


Many years ago, I remember reading that the music was composed Daisuke Ishiwatari of BlazBlue and Guilty Gear series fame. Which would make sense: It's fairly hard rock and it's a game done by Arc System Works, who produced both aforementioned series. Listening to the OST again for this post, it didn't sound quite accurate. It wasn't the same style of complex as Daisuke's music, even at the time.

So I did some research and learned it was by Kennosuke Suemura (Battle Fantasia, Guilty Gear Judgement & Dust Strikers) and Hiroshi Ebihara (Fatal Fury, Power Drift). Oddly, Hiroshi Ebihara is not credited on either VGM Database and VGM Music Preservation Foundation and Kennosuke Suemara isn't credited on VGMdb.
