Hey, everyone! The *Thunder Force* series is a really popular title among shooting game fans in Japan. But I get the feeling there are even more die-hard fans outside of Japan. Yamaoh played the drums with all his heart. I want everyone to shout out their love for Thunder Force V

Today I played Street Fighter II' at the arcade. Does everyone know this song? It’s the credits song that plays when you clear the game on a single coin. And since I went undefeated this time, it’s the special version. Back then, if you could pull this off, you were a hero at the arcade! kyo-ji

This month, Mr. Kishimoto, the creator of Double Dragon and Renegade (Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun), passed away. To pay tribute to this legendary creator beloved by fans around the world, I’m sharing a video from a few years ago of Yamaoh playing the drums. Thank you for the wonderful memories. R.I.P.

Today was the release day for our show, “GM Crossla”! The theme was “Dungeon Game Music.” We played tracks ranging from the 1983 Apple II version of *Ultima III* to *Pokémon*, *Megami Tensei*, *Final Fantasy IV*, and *Chrono Trigger*! Check it out if you’d like! www.youtube.com/live/ZQXDIpl...

Thank you! I'm so glad you like it! Duel of Top! That guitar sounds great!🎸🌟 We played “A3” from TF5 on our music show, and we also performed “Legendary Wings” with the band at a live show—it was a huge hit!

Fantom Iris @fantomiris.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I see👀 So there were quite a few differences compared to overseas, huh! Street Fighter II was even set up outside stationery stores, so I used to ride my bike by to play it!🚴 I think it’s great that we can now play it on all kinds of gaming consoles ✨

I see! 👀 I love the shooting games you mentioned, too! Especially 1945 II and 19XX. Of those, I especially love VIPER PHASE 1 for its austere world and intricate graphics—I’ve even managed to clear it without a single miss during a live stream in the past. (bass:kyo-ji) youtu.be/-sD4XfhWxmU

Today,I managed to clear ESP RA.DE. in one coin at MikadoArcade. It was pretty shocking that the final attack from the last boss, Mrs. Gara,was a hundred-hit slap delivered by her own hands,wasn’t it? It’s one of my favorite games, but I’d love to know how popular it was overseas back then. kyo-ji

It’s the Obon holiday in Japan, so I went to my favorite coffee shop and had a chocolate mint crème d’anjou parfait! In Japan,opinions are split—about 60%of people like chocolate mint, while 40%dislike it (apparently, some say it tastes like toothpaste)—but I wonder how it is overseas? Bass: kyo-ji

Hello, everyone. It’s the “Obon” season here in Japan, a time for extended holidays. Fantom Iris is also taking a break from activities in August to recharge. Amidst all this, Yamaoh played the drums. The song is “Thunderbolt,” a popular track from *Life Force*.

It was a truly rewarding project, both as a pro musician and as a top player of Cross Sword! I’m always looking forward to more music production projects, including those from overseas✈️

Hey! We’re currently working on a new CD for an upcoming Japanese game convention.💿🎶 It’s made entirely using sounds from various game consoles, including the Genesis, SFC, and GB!🎮 For the cover art, we used ourselves as the inspiration and designed it to look like a game package from the ’80s!

Today I beat Gradius II on a single coin using Weapon type3. The blue force field and ripples are beautiful.✨ A wonderful ending that will go down in gaming history. It plays with a melody that resonates deeply, even amidst the hustle and bustle of the arcade. Bass:kyo-ji

Thanks! I played the SFC version too, but it seems a little different from the arcade version! I remember how happy I was the first time I reached that ending!

Thank you! Thunder Force is awesome! I've even performed Legendary Wings and Steel of Destiny live in TF5. I'd love to play them in a band again!

How are you all doing? Now that the production project has wrapped up successfully, I’m getting ready for this month’s broadcast. The theme for June is ‘Racing and Driving Game Music’.🏎️ I wonder if F-Zero, Daytona USA, R4, or Out Run are popular? Please let me know your favourite tracks and games!

Thank you!! I love Sega Rally!! I’ve even performed the Sega Saturn version of “Conditioned Reflex” live! It’s rare to hear the whole song in the game, but the melodic section in the second half is absolutely amazing!

ザクザクしたギターリフいいですよね！バトルギアのBGMはシリーズ通して根強い人気がありますね～

Thank you!! It’s a perfect lineup!! We’ve played “NAKED GLOW” by R4 before, and it’s so cool! We might play one of the songs you mentioned on the show, so stay tuned!

Thank you!! The Out Run series is really popular, isn't it! Personally, I remember “Shiny World” from OutRun 2 because the bassline is so cool. We might play a song from the series on the show, so stay tuned! (bass: kyo-ji)

Thank you!! I’m also really fond of the original version of F-ZERO. I totally forgot about Super Hang-On! It has so many great songs, doesn’t it!

Hey everyone One of our fans living in San Francisco contacted us while traveling in Japan, saying they wanted our CD. I handed it over today. It's awesome that our music is reaching people across the ocean! YAMAOH gonna express it on the drums! The song is from SEGA's classic Space Harrier
