Recorded with a Shure SM7B XLR dynamic microphone on a RØDE PSA1+ boom arm through a Cloudlifter and a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB interface!

Episode 159: My Waifu (Valentine’s Day)

The Episodes Genshin Impact husbando Persona 5 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Valentine's Day vgm waifu

Ah, the power of love… it’s a wonderful feeling that can carry you through the day, especially when it’s rough. Sometimes, love can all you to do additional things or learn more about someone. Intimate connections aside, love can be many things.

We’re celebrating Valentine’s Day by talking about the waifu (or husbando). Loaned from the English language in the 1980s, it was an alternative Japanese term to more intimately describe your person of interest or significant other. During the 2000s, both terms were re-appropriated into slang to mean a fictional character from non-live visual media (video games, anime, or manga) that one considers their ideal significant other. It was first mentioned in the anime “Azumanga Daioh”.

This week, we’re playing tracks from video games with waifu potential: a region in Tamriel, high school life in and out of the Metaverse, and a world that follows its own laws of physics. And yes, we’ve got some covers and remixes to follow each track.

Have a listen to these tracks as you think lovingly about your waifu or husbando…

“Encounter/Meeting” – [Persona 5] – composed by Toshiki Konishi

“Persona 5 – Encounter (Remix)” – remixed by Harminder

“Marching of Xiezhi” – [Genshin Impact] – composed by Dimeng Yuan, performed by the International Philharmonic Orchestra

Sharp X68000 VGM NikoTengoku SharpX68000

Released in 1987, the Sharp X68000 would lead the way for Japanese computer systems, ending its reign around 1996.

Today on XVGM Radio, we’re joined by our third host NikoTengoku to spotlight just a taste of the amazing tunes on this system. Niko falls in love with developer Exact, Mike goes on about songs sounding simple then praises the most simplistic song picked for the show, and Justin takes a call from…EVIL NIKO?!

Tobal 1+2

Episode 158: Happy 3rd Podcastiversary!

The Episodes podcastiversary vgm

It’s time to party! We’re celebrating three years of covers, remixes, arrangements, and orchestrations of video game music on RE-VGM. The first episode was published on February 4, 2022, with its first look at “Dearly Beloved” and its covers and remixes by musicians. Since then, and with a quick retooling, each episode has been a celebration of many things: what’s happening on that day, the games that have been played, and the tracks that have been listened and added to playlists.

We have a blocks of tracks from several areas: Masters of VGM, On Stage Now, and video game soundtracks.

My thanks to all the listeners, subscribers, and followers of RE-VGM. May the next year find more things to celebrate, more tracks to listen, and more musicians to feature…

[RERUN!!] "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" - “C1E51: Mishmash Monday - vol 9” (40th Birthday episode - orig. released 02/03/2020)

2025 re-run bonus notes:

This rerun is releasing on the precise 5yr anniversary of its original release - in other words, this celebration of St. John's 40th birthday, featuring his wife, both his kids, both his parents, and his brother is re-releasing on St. John's 45th birthday!

Also, it is the second of a trilogy of music blocks (the first of which was last month's rerun), which, if not already clear to long-time listeners of the show will be explained in the intro to the third track of the trilogy, which will be our March 2025 rerun. So stay tuned til next month's rerun!

DISCLAIMER 1: DEAD-NAME ALERT! August is not their birth name, and this episode was recorded prior to their self-discovery, so it uses their birth/dead name. Because of this, I checked with August prior to releasing it to make sure they were okay with it. They said they were okay with it so long as I included the disclaimer - which I would've done anyway! :-D

DISCLAIMER 2: Apologies for some of the off-color jokes and references in the blooper reel. I was not as far along in my personal transformation at the point this episode was released. There are things that made this blooper that would not have today. Therefore, please consider it a piece of history rather than an accurate representation of current perspectives.

DISCLAIMER 3: the production value was much worse back in 2020. So if this is your first time hearing Nerd Noise Radio, please keep in mind that our production values have much improved in the time since.

Episode 157: On Stage Now – Skar

The Episodes metal Skar vgm

Welcome to the first monthly special episode of “On Stage Now”, where we feature a musician with a playlist of their covers, remixes, and inspired tracks.

This month for January, we are featuring Martin Skar Berger, a musician who goes by Skar. He was first featured on Episode 120, for National Poker Day, for his cover of “That’s the Way It Is”, from Red Dead Redemption 2. Since 2014, Skar has been posted videos of his metal guitar covers of video game music. Along the way, he has collaborated with several artists, including Dan Vasc and Kristin Starkey. He later broadened his works to cover music from anime, movies, and popular music. Last month in December, Skar celebrated 10 years of YT.

Sit tight and hold on as we prepare to hear the shredding sounds of Skar…

Recorded with a Shure SM7B XLR dynamic microphone on a RØDE PSA1+ boom arm through a Cloudlifter and a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB interface!

Episode 156: Sonic Forces

The Episodes SEGA Sonic Forces vgm

This week, we are celebrating the digital release of Sonic Forces on Sony’s PlayStation 4. The game was originally released worldwide on November 7, 2017 and two days later in Japan. It was developed after Sonic Lost Worlds and influenced by Sonic Mania, including its plot.

Dr. Eggman is at it again, and he’s tired of losing to Sonic. This time, he creates a creature who calls himself Infinite. Sonic tries to fight Infinite but loses to him and is taken prisoner by Dr. Eggman; Sonic’s absence allows the doctor to conquer most of the planet. Meanwhile, Knuckles forms a resistance movement with an interesting cast of characters, including a survivor of the attack known as The Avatar. Tails, having seen Sonic lose to Infinite, feels discouraged and is about to be attacked until a wormhole opens and Classic Sonic enters the scene, saving Tails. Seeing Classic Sonic renews Tails’ hope and both of them go to save the world.

We’ll be listening to a good heaping of tracks from the game’s soundtrack, along with covers and remixes to follow each one.

Prepare for the run of your life as you race to save Sonic and the planet from Dr. Eggman…

2025 re-run bonus notes:

Our first re-run of our return to the practice is also the first-released [second produced] of a trilogy of music blocks. Long-time listeners of the show may already know what I'm talking about, but newer listeners and/or those who do not remember may be perplexed by what I'm talking about. Well, it will all be explained in the intro to the final of the trilogy (releasing in March). DISCLAIMER: the production value was much worse back in 2019. So if this is your first time hearing Nerd Noise Radio, please keep in mind that our production values have much improved in the time since.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: January 2025!

Today, I have two special announcements for you - actually, three (though only the first two appear in the announcement recording)! Apologies for how awkward and unscripted this recording is:

- The first is a repeat of the all-call, calling our listeners away from Spotify - redundant, but worth repeating! - The second is an all-call to the listeners to get me tracks (see the links below to relevant documents and/or episodes). More deets in the announcement recording!

- Also, a last-minute third announcement (again, not included in the announcement recording): now that Ch 2 is over, I’ve decided to resurrect the deprecated process of sharing re-runs of older episodes, like we used to do in years past. I’ll plan on doing one re-run a month, though reserve the right to do more or less than that on occasion based on circumstances. The first rerun will be a separate upload, but it is the first of a trilogy of episodes, which will make sense when you hear the intro to the final of the three, which I will plan on re-running in March. Long time listeners of the show will probably know what the February and March rerun episodes will be once they see what this month’s rerun is. :-)

Relevant links to announcement 2:

Document 1: All tracks featured in 2024 (this is the document to work from! Please be mindful of the color-coding):

Episode 1: C1E40: Listener Picks - vol. 1 - originally released 12/20/2018 (this is the kind of thing I want to make one more time with *YOUR* help!: https://nerdnoiseradio.podbean.com/e/noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-podcast-%e2%80%9cc1e40-theme-thursday-listeners-picks-vol-1%e2%80%9d-a-super-sized-episode/

Episode 2: C1E60: Listener Picks - vol. 2 - originally released 12/23/2021 (all the outtake tracks from the C1E40 sessions - guest-starring Trey Johnson of NintenDomain and W.A.R.T. Radio - also, apologies one more time for the atrocious sound quality on my voice track. We had to use a very lo-fi backup copy!)

https://nerdnoiseradio.podbean.com/e/noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-c1e60-listener-pics-%e2%80%93-vol-2/

…..and that’s it! Be on the lookout for our first rerun of the trilogy which should be following right behind this upload. And get ready for C1E91 - 2025’s “Season 8”’s debut episode, releasing on Monday, January 27th! Cheers! -St. John

(p.s. I listened to the intro / outro / blooper of C1E40 and all the talkie portions of C1E60 (including the blooper) and even though the production quality is so much worse than what I’m doing today, I simply ache at just how GOOD the content itself is! These may have been the golden era of Nerd Noise Radio!

064 - Wild ARMS 3 w/Scott

Support us on Patreon for higher bitrate downloads and bonus episodes.


It's time to mount up and mosey on down to Wild ARMS 3 with Deputy Scott okay I'll stop the cowboy shite. We're talking the Western inspired Wild ARMS 3 this week and it's a game/soundtrack that I've loved for many years so as soon as Scott suggested it I had to get him back on. Michiko Naruke's tunes are inspired by a lot of classic westerns, naturally, but she brings such a heart to them that is as charming as the game itself and doesn't just stick to the standard sounds you'd expect from a western either. Yipee Ki-yay and so forth.

Episode 155: Unlicensed Fun (National Bootlegger’s Day)

The Episodes 7 Grand Dad bootleg Kid Niki 3 Mega Man X3 National Bootlegger's Day Rockman X3 Super Mario 14 The Flintstones vgm

Sometimes, a game doesn’t need the backing of a popular company to be fun. It may not need crowdfunding. In fact, there are a host of games that are “inspired” by other popular games. Actually, it’s more like they borrowed from these games heavily enough to swap out things and switch certain areas, despite having some bugs that could crash the game.

We’re celebrating National Bootlegger’s Day, held on January 17th, that commemorates a time with alcohol was sold illegally because of Prohibition. The word ‘bootlegger’ comes from a type of transaction in which boots were filled with flasks of alcohol and sold to Native Americans. Bootleggers or rum-runners created and sold their own personal alcoholic beverages on the side. One of the more famous bootleg liquors is Templeton Rye, a type of rye whiskey that was made in Templeton, Iowa by farmers.

For this week’s episode, we’re playing tracks from video games that were bootlegged or hacked: a prehistoric family man trying to save the family pets, a fight against Reploids, and a samurai boyfriend out to save his princess girlfriend. As always, there’s covers and remixes to follow each track.

Perhaps these tracks may inspire you to play some bootlegged games…

Episode 56 - Rando Calrissian and the Dastardly Dendy Device

Rando Calrissian had just docked at the megacasino on Humora Gamma, where he’d planned on relaxing with some drinks and winning a few jackpots at the rellack table. But when a mad scientist’s experimental new starship engine gets sabotaged, Rando’s thrust into a tangled grab bag of VGM tracks that may prove fatal!

Episode 154: Why So Peculiar! (Peculiar People Week)

The Episodes Earthworm Jim Glover I Am Bread peculiar Peculiar People Day vgm

Strange, unusual, weird… these words often describe someone who is peculiar. They are known to walk to the beat of their drum and make life abnormal, but at one time, these people were considered set apart from the rest of the crowd, as called by God. There was even a Christian movement called “The Peculiar People”, founded on two verse from the Bible, Deuteronomy 14:2 and 1 Peter 2:9.

This week, we’re celebrating Peculiar People Day on January 10th, with tracks from video games with peculiar characters: a common worm turned hero, a magical glove saving the kingdom, and a slice of bread trying to get toasted. There’s also covers and remixes with each original track.

Whether or not you are peculiar, today is a day to appreciate the individual nature of people who are willing to step out of the comfort zone…

Music Block Runtime: 02:31:58 / Total Episode Runtime: 02:51:01

Our customary Channel 1 intro and outro music, which did not appear today is Funky Radio, from Jet Grind Radio, on the Sega Dreamcast - composed by BB Rights. Our special year-in-review intro and outro music are, respectively, Results Theme from Metroid Prime on the GameCube, composed by Kenji Yamamoto, and Results Parade, from the Check Mii Out Channel on the Wii, composed by Kazumi Totaka.

Produced using a nearly equal mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Linux on an ASUS ROG Zephyrus 14 (2023) laptop with perhaps a little support from a Dell Latitude 7480 (also running Fedora Linux) or the Steam Deck (running Steam OS). Recorded with a Shure SM7B XLR dynamic microphone on a RØDE PSA1+ boom arm through a Cloudlifter and a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB interface!

Episode 153: Sleepy Time (Festival of Sleep Day)

The Episodes Festival of Sleep Day Slay the Spire sleep Tetris Effect Connected Vampire Survivors vgm

After partying hard on New Year’s Eve and Day, a rest is surely deserved. In fact, there’s a day for that, called the Festival of Sleep Day, celebrated on January 3rd every year.

Sleep can have some wonderful effects on the body: it lowers the blood pressure, regulates blood sugar, helps one solve a problem the next, relieve stress, and maintain weight. A lack of sleep, though, can cause heart attacks, heart failure, irregular heartbeats, high blood pressure, stroke, or diabetes. There are some that are able to function with about four hours of sleep, while some need eight or more hours to ensure the maximum benefit.

For this week’s first episode of 2025, we’re playing tracks from video games that may help you fall asleep (according to an article on the internet): falling shapes set to music, climbing a spire, and surviving a mob of pixelated monsters. There’s also covers and remixes to follow each original track.

Enjoy the episode, whether you plan to fall asleep to these tracks or my monotone voice…

“Midnight Sky” – [Tetris Effect Connected] – composed by Hydelic (Noboru Mutoh, Takako Ishida)

“Midnight Sky (Moon Lounge Mix)” – mixed by Hydelic

“Slay the Spire” – [Slay the Spire] – composed by Clark Aboud

[Ch 2] Nerd Noise Game Club - C2F: “Finally our Final Finale” (the grand finale)

Well, this is it, folks - our very last episode of Channel 2, taking a long….VERRRRRRY LONG last look back through the entirety of our show’s history, and featuring at least one track from every single episode! This episode really is obscenely long - just shy of 5 ½ hours! But it covers so much history, and is our way of putting a bow on everything. So we hope you will stick with us for the entire thing! Presented in a hybrid-format of Ch 2-style talkie portions and Ch 1-style mini-mixtapes, and broken up by season.

….and as an unplanned bonus, a link to my Christmas 1989 story on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the events thereof: https://longversionblog.blogspot.com/2024/12/the-fire-and-glory-and-unfortunate.html

And speaking of anniversaries, today’s episode is dedicated to the memory of Chris Chandler, a name that longtime listeners of the show will recognize. This episode releases on the 8yr anniversary of his passing. For the curious, here was the great big special we did for him on the occasion of what would’ve been his 40th birthday in July of 2019 - called “Chandlerfest”: https://nerdnoiseradio.podbean.com/e/nerd-noise-radio-reruns-presents-chandlerfest/

Thanks for having joined Hugues and I on this incredible journey of Channel 2! We’ve been delighted to have you and to have occasionally heard from you! But while one door closes, another door remains open for a little while longer. The Channel 1 show….goes on for one more regular season and then an additional year of retrospectives! Join us again (probably early January) for C1R7 - “The Best of 2024”, and again, later in January for C1E91 - a Mishmash Monday originally planned for November of this year, but pushed back to make room for Hugues’ twin episodes! Delicious VGM on Noise from the Hearts of Nerds! And wherever you are…..Fly the N!

Cheers!


Episode 152: The Cake of Fruit (National Fruitcake Day)

The Episodes fruitcake National Fruitcake Day Portal The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild vgm

Ah, the fruitcake, one of the holiday desserts that brings a smile to fans, a laugh to certain people, and a moan of pain to those receiving it. Because of how the cake is preserved, the fruitcake has also been family heirloom, passed down several generations, with some families having a sample of it each year.

This week, we’re celebrating National Fruitcake Day on December 27th, with tracks from video games that have fruitcake or an enduring treat: a lone warrior who awakens to a devastated world, a test subject told they will be reward with a delightful treat, and a common person who finds out their destiny lies with dragons. We also have covers and remixes to follow each of these tracks.

Episode 150: Rooting for the underdog (National Underdog Day)

The Episodes A Plague Tale: Innocence Amnesia: The Dark Descent Bioshock National Underdog Day underdog vgm

“There’s no need to fear…”

This week, we are celebrating National Underdog Day, the third Friday of December. It was originally created to honor those unrecognized employees who toil in their workplace but nowadays it’s about those people who were expected to lose in a competition but somehow manage to win it out. One of the earliest examples is David, a figure from the Bible who took down Goliath with a sling and a smooth stone. Other examples include the “Miracle on Ice” from the 1980 Winter Olympics and Rocky Balboa from the Rocky movies.

For our playlist, we’ve got tracks from video games featuring the underdog: a lone survivor of a plan crash, a man who wakes up with no memory, and a sister protecting her brother from the Inquisition and the plague. There’s also covers and remixes to follow these tracks.

Break out the pom-poms and put on your best cheer, as we root for the underdog…

Muh-haha-haha! Friday the 13th, one of my favorite days of the year. Well, any month in which the first day starts on a Sunday, and it is a tradition that, for any episode that is to be released on a Friday the 13th, that its theme include any superstitions and myths. Since December has a […]

Episode 54 1/2 - ????

This the episode, now to hear the strange songs. New time for your listening with Professor Tom.

Special thanks for this episode goes out to:

  • Fellow VGM podcaster Jameson of barSILENCE podcast for contributing cover art. You can and should find barSILENCE wherever you download podcasts, and check out his website at barSILENCE.com.
  • My lovely waifu and darling children for their honest testimonials about the benefits of Chocobo milk.
  • BokiBokiPixelArt for the show logo. You can find him on Twitter @BokiPixelart.

If you want to reach me, I’m most active on Bluesky as @shujinacademy.bsky.social. You can also find me on Threads, Tumblr, or Instagram as ShujinAcademyVGMClub. I’m on Mastodon at @ShujinAcademyVGMClub@mastodon.coffee, and my username on Discord is ProfessorTom. All episodes of the show are posted to my YouTube channel, which you can find by searching for Shujin Academy VGM Club. You can email me at shujinacademyvgmclub@gmail.com. Links to everything are available on my LinkTree at https://linktr.ee/shujinacademy. Please leave me a five star rating on iTunes or Spotify or wherever you’re finding this episode. New episodes are released once or twice a month depending on how often I get them done, and they premiere on Thursday mornings on your favorite podcatcher and on 8beats.co, the internet's number one game music radio station. My show is also featured on Terra Player, the cool app that’s a destination for gaming podcasts and other content, so you can check me out there.

If you’re listening on Spotify, please be aware that they’ve pulled a few of my episodes before.

During the show, I mentioned Sega composer Takenobu Mitsuyoshi’s infectiously happy performance of the Daytona USA songs. You can see some videos of him in action at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J9ffRgADRU and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nskok6WhqeI.

[143] Nobuo Uematsu's Other Work

About: Fantasian Neo Dimension released this past week and Nobuo Uematsu has talked about the likely possibility that it may be the final soundtrack entirely composed by him. We take a look back at some of Uematsu’s music, but as we have played an abundance of Final Fantasy themes in the past, and aruably that is what Uematsu is most well-known for, we will instead be focusing on his music outside of that famed RPG series.

Special Notes: As of the time of recording of the main episode, St. John still didn't know what Hugues' theme was. Hugues hasn’t told him, and St. John hasn’t been able to figure it out on his own (so far). Hugues knew what St. John's was, though....because he told him. ;-)

Special Notes: The final "regular" episode of Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 2! :-( There will still be the C2R4 Season 4 retrospective, and almost certainly a one-off “Series Finale” in early 2025. But of “plain Jane, run of the mill, ordinary episodes”....yeah, this is the very last one - which makes it really sad for St. John, and also very heavily influenced the selection of his tracks, which bias very heavily towards emotional, sentimental, heart-tugging pieces, and also bias very heavily towards tracks from games he actually beat growing up back in the day. :-(

Support us on Patreon for higher bitrate downloads and bonus episodes.


We're back to normal from Megami Tensei month with another bit of a grab bag episode of Sunsoft soundtracks. Boin, who previously joined us for a mini-episode on Journey to Silius returns to talk about a little bit of Blaster Master, a lot of GIMMICK and a little more about City Hunter for the PC Engine. Sunsoft are almost as well regarded for their soundtracks as for their games, if not more so, so we have a good chat about the general sound for these games and especially the influence of Jazz Fusion and City Pop on the latter two soundtracks.

Episode 117 – The Music Of Tengo Project

Natsume Uncategorized VGM

Returning to the topic of Natsume’s musical history, Mike and Justin revisit one last time for a sort of epilogue on the history of Natsume via Tengo Project. Formed from an offshoot of Natsume Co. Ltd in the mid to late 2000s, Tengo Project is a small team of Natsume’s original staff who have been revisiting the company’s past to remake or create sequels to some of their most famous games. From Ninjas to shrine maidens and even a sort of wild, wild west, Tengo Project’s games have captured a snapshot of the past while recreating it for a modern era. Today, the XVGM Radio guys listen to some incredible music from Hiroyuki Iwatsuki as well as Iku Mizutani, in an era where both Natsume composers revisit their legendary past.

Our month of Megami Tensei closes with a great little pair of Shoji Meguro soundtracks for the Devil Summoner sub-series. These were both on the PS2 so have a very similar sound to what was in Persona 3 and especially the Digital Devil Saga games which we previously did an episode on way back in episode 4. Thanks to Aden for being able to join us to talk about these games and their very good soundtracks.

Episode 38-1 The 90s with Cam from the Mad Gear!

rhythm and pixels World 38 Somnabuster the lost vikings the mad gear

Let’s get back to the 90s: hip hop, grunge music, baggy clothes, and the 1992 Olympic Dream Team. But actually, let’s talk about video game music, and what makes us happy reminiscing about the 90s! Cameron from the Mad Gear (the baddest VGM cover band in Metro City) is with us asking the REAL QUESTIONS: Where did Michael Jordan learn to magically harness the elements into his basketballs to save the Chicago Bulls? Where did Aerosmith get all those CD’s to fight terrorists? We may not have the answers to all these questions, but we got some serious jams!

059 - SMT Month - Majin Tensei w/Teeps

Support us on Patreon for higher bitrate downloads and bonus episodes.


Third episode in our Megami Tensei month is a lesser known SNES duo of Strategy RPGs called Majin Tensei. The music by Hidehito Aoki is stunning and really pushes the SNES to its limits, there's hints of techno-industrial and early Synthwave throughout that give both games a real grimy aesthetic. Definitely worth checking out. Thanks to Teeps for joining us on short notice!
