Mr.Mijk van Dijk - Ridge Racer V Encounter over 22 years

2022/7/14 https://twitter.com/RidgeRacerTunes, who always posts videos of Ridge Racer on Twitter with links to the composers, uploaded a song from the time he participated in Ridge Racer V. Mijk retweeted it.

Mijk retweeted it.

Mijk retweeted it, and I found it and tweeted it.

He found it too.

That's how I was able to talk with him about Ridge Racer V over 22 years ago.

And here we are......

主に海外の人向けにサイトを作りました。 まだまだ雑ですが、とりあえず場所だけ確保！  I created the site mainly for people from overseas. It's still a mess, but at least we have a place!

The current world line regarding Klonoa

The current world line regarding Klonoa, for users, is generally better to have it than not to have it. Almost all of the composers are not currently employed by Namco Bandai, so if all of them cannot read the postcards of this feedback, we will not be able to help with the sequel, so please respond as soon as possible -> Namco Bandai.

But I can't make this statement now, because it would be a nuisance to the users.

At least I, as one of the composers, take this issue seriously...

[Trance] "BE THE WIND" from the album REIWA TYPE 4

The next work will be more authentic Trance sound. This time I used 2 sketches from 24 Trance sketches. There are 47 more sketches to combine. It looks like I will have at least 22 songs.

"REIWA TYPE 4" Youtube has almost the full song samples! 🏎🎧👍

The problem of feedback and fan letters for reprinted games not reaching the developers at the time.

The feedback surveys for reprinted games like Chronor Encore, the developers of the game at the time don't get the feedback.

Because there is no mechanism to deliver them.

People who left the company at that time can't tell us anything because they have to be treated as outsiders.

Then where do the thoughts that the users have in their hearts that they want to convey to the developers go?

That's the thing...the creator cannot be replaced.

REIWA TYPE 4 OUT NOW!

I finally got around to releasing the latest Ridge Racer song on my fantasy that I've been working on for years!

The name of my imaginary Ridge Racer latest music album, "REIWA TYPE 4," was inspired when I noticed on a government document that the year 2022 is "R4," and I thought, "This is the first and last chance I'll ever get to use this in the name of an album! That's why we really wanted to announce it now, at the turn of the year.

From the Youtube comments that come in daily, I searched in my iphone music to listen to the original song of Move Me after a long time and found no original song, but 8 derivative works in production or sequels in production. One of them is this one.

Limited sharing song vol.7 68-GuitarRock

This is a rock-style song that was made around 1994 with the demo tape used for job hunting for Namco in mind. 

The equipment used is SHARP X68000 ACE-HD and Roland SC-55. 

Please be patient at first! It's a showcase from 1 minute 30 seconds! 🎸🔥

Ace Combat 2 sound leader Mr. Isayama opposed the adoption of Kohta in the demo tape review. However, Kohta was able to learn and grow under Master Mr. Isayama through the work of Ace Combat 2 and create memorable ro...

Needs a Lost Drum Kit for Ace Combat 2 Rock song

It's a hobby area, but is there anyone who can reproduce the drum kit of the rock song of Ace Combat 2? The production date was 1996-1997, and the custom kit (details could not be confirmed) assembled with the Roland S-760 was finished by a Japanese professional engineer with a different look for each song. The drum sound wasn't taken over by the later Ace series at all, and the composer at the time, Mr. Isayama, and I left the company for more than 20 years, and made a prototype to remember ...

Delusion Ace Combat 2 Arrange Album Draft I've been thinking about since 1997🎸

As one of the sound staff of Ace Combat 2 in 1997, I would like to share the concept of the delusional arrangement album that I had been thinking about since the time of composition regarding the songs I was involved in!

Note: These are delusional ideas and have not been realized.

Limited sharing song vol.6 Ace Combat 2 - Rising High 1st draft SC-88

The 25th anniversary of Ace Combat 2 was also the 25th anniversary of Kohta Takahashi's commercial composing debut.

Since joining Namco, I have played guitar in Ridge Racer Revolution and Rage Racer, and had a little experience as an apprentice arranger in World Stadium EX, but Ace Combat 2 was the first game in which his compositions were incorporated into a game.

When Ace Combat 2 was released in 1997, Kohta Takahashi was 25 years old. At the time of development, he was 24 years...

Pulstar and Thunder Cross and Ace Combat 2 Fire Away

I think Vangelis' Pulstar lead tones and phrases and bass line inspired the background music for Stage 1 of Konami Thunder Cross. And the second intro of Fire Away in Ace Combat 2 was inspired by these songs.

Mr. Vangelis, thank you so much for all your dreams! In peace.

Like a reincarnation

For some reason, Kohta Takahashi's mailbox receives comment notifications from Youtube every day recently.

It's a message from viewers that Ridge Racer Type 4's "Move Me" inspired JPEGMAFIA's "BALD!".

Peggy fans seem to have been worried that Kohta's lively comments could ruin his channel.

I'm sorry.

So far, it hasn't been said, "Shut up the fucking yellow monkey."

I haven't been involved for a year and a half since the release of "BALD!" So that my words and act...

Whatever you do, it's important to be yourself

I've been so busy exploring my own music that other pursuits have taken a back seat. But I can't believe such a wonderful thing was happening. Thank you so much. Whatever you do, be yourself, that's important.

Does your region have four seasons?

Summer is about to begin, although there are still cold days in Japan.

Today was a hot day with a high of 24 degrees Celsius and a low of 11 degrees Celsius, which made me think of a song that goes with summer.

Does your region have four seasons? 

What is the climate like throughout the year?

I would like to know how you feel about the seasons.

The original composer for the Ridge Racer Type 4, a 1998 game that JPEGMAFIA samples on "BALD!", has thanked Peggy in the comments section saying the track "transcends time, borders and race."

Memories of editing Klonoa Hupo's dialogue

In Klonoa, while composing Cursed Pamela and Baladium's Drive, he was also in charge of the dialogue of Hupo, Gadius and King Seedoff, and the song of Refis. I remember it was hard because my emotions were possessed and I was about to cry and my throat hurt 😅💦

There is one scene in particular that I agonized over for days, but I don't want to spoil it for those who are going to play it, so please play it and feel that "Oh, here it is...! I hope you can feel the moment of "Oh, her...

Limited sharing song vol.5 Ace Title for Ace Combat 2 イメージ楽曲・異世界への扉 Image music, Door to Another World

When I participated in Ace Combat 2 as a sound staff, I made an image song that included guitar play in addition to the unadopted songs.

The Ace Title uploaded here is also not used in the game, but it was made for that purpose.

There are three purposes for creating image music.

1 "Is this system okay?" Imagine the overall world view of the game, and confirm the direction of the music with the embodied song.

→ Used to create extreme images and reach a consensus that ...

Ace Combat2 - Sunset Glow Production Background

A song without a guitar. I wanted to make the game a little more colorful with a murderous world view, so I decided to give the game a shade of Kotekote chords like a song. The sound and arrangement are very light.

However, in order to add sharpness to the middle, solo corners of bass and drums are provided, and sound elements that can only be played in game music such as chopper bass slamming and impossible drum fills are added.

This part is influenced by Namco's Galaxian3 and ot...
