Episode 131 – The Music of Shinji Hosoe
About this episode
Mike and Ed discuss the diverse musical styles of composer Shinji Hosoe and his game soundtracks.
Many video game music composers try their best to fit into different musical genres but few do it as well as composers like Shinji Hosoe. On today’s episode of XVGM Radio, Mike and Ed discuss several of Hosoe’s game soundtracks, highlighting a wide variety of musical tracks. From techno and jungle to power metal and back to chiptunes, you can truly appreciate his chameleon-like nature to fit his music with a different style.
