Rock Out With Your Cart Out 97 – Masters of VGM (Motoi Sakuraba, Yasunori Mitsuda, Takahiro Unisuga, and Jane-Evelyn Nisperos)

I’m coming in just under the wire to get in on the fun of the Masters of VGM topic going around the video game music podcast community, but I made it! I hemmed and hawed over these picks quite a bit, and this list could have turned out differently depending on the day. That said, I’m happy with my picks as I think they not only deserve to be called masters of their craft, but are also very representative of my musical interests and the general vibe of this podcast. So sit back and enjoy listening to a curated list of music from Motoi Sakuraba, Yasunori Mitsuda, Takahiro Unisuga, and Jane-Evelyn Nisperos.
