he was on star crossed world so thats a good start

yw. honestly there are ppl in the retro tech scene who would do such a thing lmao

you could maybe go on ebay and find some old model from the 2000s

i love when ppl are open about their inspirations like this. my favorite example is when daft punk did the song Teachers where they list them all

yeah one of the best ones for sure!

you can hear more of it on the former bird site: x.com/fusoxide/sta...

im in the same boat honestly. making music a full time career is an uphill battle, and tech stuff can be tough and boring

the crossovers between sekai and retro games/tech is funny. feels like juxtaposition

right yeah, it's a weird one bc while the look can be very pleasant when done right it was for sure, often used by corporations for greenwashing. guess it's kind of a matter of separating art from the artists or company idk

it certainly was not a "promised future" like tiktok makes it out lmao

someone also found his old site from the 90s, where he talks about how he genuinely enjoys his work at HAL and that ppl who judge him for it should consider that it's kept him financially afloat

for sure! also he's spoken in interviews about how he likes making music with modular synths - and his output as mushio funazawa is exactly that

his pre-GBA kirby music is quite intricately made, i feel he was burnt out after that though

he deserves your money. go buy the mr elevator OST, some rly quirky stuff here mushiofunazawa.bandcamp.com/album/mr-ele...
