as games become more dynamic & cater to specific fans, (platformer fans, rpg fans, etc), the shared classics we enjoyed as children start to show up less & less. Most of the best game music isn't being ignored, it's just being appreciated by smaller groups of people. The tohou community has their own favorite songs within that community, but I doubt the everyday joe has heard of Bad Apple.
well said! just like other forms of media over the past few decades, video game culture has become much less uniform and there's so much more variety than there was in the early days. (also i really enjoy your videos, so hello!)
No but really, the non-level JP music is really good, like the level clear, game over, boss, as well as a lot of the good futures. However I am a big fan of the US soundtrack. I love tidal tempest and Stardust Speedway Bad Future
@@Bluzigo You can't just call a music superior to another like that because music is subjective, its ok if you like the us version better but beware that some people are stupid enough to start an arguments for stupid reasons like music tastes.
@@willnewton706 That's traditional jazz, though. Jazz fusion, acid jazz, world jazz (includes latin jazz and other ethnic jazz), etc. more than those as "main types of jazz". Especially fusion, that's a cake with nigh-infinite layers.

Gravity Rush is such an under appreciated gem of a series. It’s almost criminal how under the radar the series went especially considering the current treatment of the series
Its not, story is mediocre besides the cool twist that Kat was a queen and whatnot, game world isnt that great, charaters are meh amd gameplay is meh too
Jesus my soul left my body when you were talking about cat singing in gravity rush 2!! That was one of my favorite parts of the game AND you get to hear it later in the game ;^))
Gravity Rush is super underrated as a series. Not incredible, but it's a breath of fresh air and so enjoyable. Just beat the second one two days ago, and I love it.
I guess that most of Sega's games and soundtracks are very underrated. Not just Jet Set Radio, but also Ristar, House of the Dead, Space Channel 5, Super Monkey Ball, Samba de Amigo, Shenmue, Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, Streets of Rage, Fantazy Zone, Space Harrier, Out Run, After Burner, Phantasy Star, Virtua Fighter, NiGHTS, Panzer Dragoon, Skies of Arcadia, Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Shining Force, Alex Kidd, and many many others. Does anyone recognize any of those? Most of them got banger soundtracks. It's a shame that not many have heard of them I guess
Dude my friend told he had I game I would like and I was like "yeah okay I'll try it" several days later I was running to Best Buy to grab the 2nd game. I loved those games so much.
*_JAZZ COUNT:_* Bossa nova: 2 Jazz: 8 Bebop: 1 BONUS: 1 mention of "rich people music" 0:41 also, this isn't a joke. please listen to the beach theme from plok.
Gravity rush really was something. Ill never forget how excited I was in the end, when I finished it. It may not be the best game I've ever played, but it sure is one of my favourites
Yeah , all of Tenshi's theme are amazing , Bhava-agra as seen through a child's eye is probably my favourite of the bunch , followed closely by Oriental sky of scarlet perception
As a brazilian, I'm SO PROUD of seeing Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 mentioned in the video. This game soundtrack is spetacular and represents everything I love about brazilian music! Thank you so much for mentioning it. Saudações do Brasil!
Oh shit, hey Teccy! It was an honorable mention but I highly recommend the Mighty Switch Force OSTs from both games, but especially the first one. They're stupidly good.
I can't believe that TH-cam did me dirty this whole time by not recommending this channel sooner to me. Almost all of this is going on a playlist. Thank you for making this.
Man Gravity Rush is so good. I played the demo of 2 and immediately bought the full game just because I was having so much fun flying around and vibing to the music
YEEEEEEEES UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH! Under Night isn't recognized nearly enough as it should, it's AMAZING, gameplay and especially soundtrack. I got so hyped when you brought it up because I was about to talk about it here if you didn't. Nearly all of its tracks are absolutely amazing. My favorites would have to be Eltnum's theme, which is the one you played, and Cross Thought (Gordeau vs Chaos). Maybe someday I'll see an Under Night In-Birth video from you...one can only dream.
Rio olympics 2016's soundtrack just makes me happy, because they went out of their way to make the songs feel brazilian, and i'm brazilian. It is great to see that nintendo and sega care enoigh to do that
I fucking LOVE content like this As a video game music enthusiast myself, it is fun to see a youtuber who is genuinely passionate music like you too. I may have known you through Matt's channel but my god the content that you are pushing out hits me right home
I fell asleep watching your going under video (because I was tired in general) and woke up to this. You showing my this underrated music kinda made me cry. I love it
FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT LOCOROCO MUSIC. AND EVEN MIDNIGHT CARNIVAL, HOLY SHIT. I was really hoping that it would come up in a video like this but did not expect it at all. The other picks were good too but seeing this one really made my day
It makes me smile when I find my self unconsciously doing the same moves that yakko is during the video. I love that he’s just as dorky as I am. Loved the topic, definitely going to check out gravity rush now. Keep being awesome .
As a Brazilian, i am honored to have our music influenced some ost that you really loved it, you really should check out some artists here, it's insane the diversity we have
just play Gris, by nomada studio. Don't ask questions. Go watch a trailer, go watch Skillup's review (NOT IGN's), buy it, play it, listen to its OST a hgklsdillion times and your depression is now cured.
Falcom games such as the trails or ys series have a really underrated soundtrack in my opinion, I started to play some of their titles some months ago and the soundtrack for me is just amazing.
I have a reccomendation!! Look up the Abzu OST! Austin Wintory wrote it to capture both the ehtereal spirit of the ocean and the mysticism of ancient mesopotamian culture, and it's just ungODLY beautiful! Look up "Balaenoptera Musculus" or "Then Were Created the Gods in the Midst of Heaven", I cannot emotionally get over either of those
normally I'd name my 2 favorite game series but underplayed doesn't mean underappreciated music, they both have extremely small fandoms in the west but have been an influence and huge success from as far back as the 80s. I'd like to bring attention to a....dare I say it, PS Vita exclusive game, Soul Sacrifice Delta. Compared to most games here this one has very dark undertones, taking a grim spin on many creatures of mythology and fairy tale (ranging from Cinderella, Snow White, the Pied piper to the Minotaur, Beelzebub, centaur, etc.) in grotesque and compelling interpretations with its own fantastically written lore. But the soundtrack, oh man...The orchestral soundtrack this game has can put so many games out there to shame with how emotionally engaged some of them are or the tense feelings of dread. It is truly a crime that this game never got the spotlight it deserves because of the system it was on.
Kid Icarus: Uprising has a very interesting soundtrack. Aside from it's music and how much if a damned bop it can be, the entire soundtrack took 6 composers to make.
The soundtrack for Skies of Arcadia is what started me on my musical journey - I'd listen to it for hours on end and always hear something new, it challenged me to grow as a musician. People truly underestimate how the background music of a game can influence your experience and overall mood as well!!
Parasite Eve.... that soundtrack is so GOOD! Great action fighting themes. Captures the strategic feel to it, and many times scary events Oni (2002 bungi game) really captures that cyberpunk futuristic vibe
The Rance series has some insane tracks: Ontology and Rough Edge are some of my favourite tracks ever! Even if they are eroge, Kichikuou Rance, Sengoku Rance and Rance X are probably some of the best games in existance!
Gahaha. Anywas, I'm genuinely surprised to see Rance mentioned here. Rance VI has probably the best OST I've had so far (I've only just started playing Sengoku)
I think a game that doesn’t get a lot of recognition for its music is Skyward Sword, especially it’s Skyloft and Bazaar theme. I love how the Skyloft theme dwindles down to just a few instruments when on the side of the island with the most houses and becomes more lively with more songs instruments to reflect the bustling town and Bazaar. And the Bazaar, with its theme changing depending on which shop you go to, reflecting what the shops specializes in always makes me smile.
I wish more people would look into the soundtrack of Voodoo Vince. Gameplay-wise it's just okay, but the soundtrack is jam packed full of gypsy jazz perfection, despite its limited budget.
I love how you used the Blood Drain remix for the Uni clr segment, a song originally composed for Melty Blood (which also has an absolutely fire soundtrack.) Same composer for both series so it makes sense. Been seeing this video in my recommended for a bit and finally thought "why not?" Was pretty good even if I knew most of the games mentioned (Gravity Rush was robbed of its rightful recognition in this timeline). Always nice to hear people passionate about VGM talk about it.
I got exclusively Gravity Rush on the first christmas that it came out and played it non-stop as a 9 year old, so I might be one of the only people that can get major nostalgia vibes of hearing literally any tune of its soundtrack
Oh frick I also grew up with Dreamcast/Gamecube Sonic Adventure 1 and 2...the dreamcast broke every 2 weeks for literally no reason so we had to keep using the warrantees to get new ones lol
Thanks for watching! All music used in the video can be found in the description :)
Mr Music man how could you not include the MvC2 OST?
Ok
Thanks man :)
8bit music is indeed amazing.
yay
my favorite video game soundtrack is from this pretty small game, you probably never even heard of it... Halo...

I see Gravity Rush in the thumbnail, go "Oh, he better be talking about the Pleasure District theme.", then I watch the video and I'm very happy.
But he didn't talk about the music box !! The music box...it's...nah I'm crying again, damn ! 😭

Bruh the entire game of Jet Set Radio is one of the most underrated titles and soundtracks of all time.
Yes, so much yes, my childhood nostalgia is in that game and soundtrack
Everything Naganuma touches becomes either gold or family guy. Give me more funky beats
I love Naganuma's works but I wouldn't call them underrated. He basically created a whole vibe of music after all
I guess that most of Sega's games and soundtracks are very underrated.

Oh frick I also grew up with Dreamcast/Gamecube Sonic Adventure 1 and 2...the dreamcast broke every 2 weeks for literally no reason so we had to keep using the warrantees to get new ones lol
