VGM Wednesday – Aurora (Meet Me in the Stars) by Anamanaguchi

“Aurora (Meet Me in the Stars” from Summer Singles 2010, by Anamanaguchi.
I want to do something different with VGM Wednesday this month.
Instead of finding tunes from games, I want to flip that expression around and find game-inspired tunes. That could mean a lot of things and over the next five weeks, it will 
The first is from the fabulous 8-bit band, Anamanaguchi. Their music is all original and has the feel of classic gaming, but with modern harmony and parts/riffs that would normally push any 2A03 to the limit.
The piece is called “Aurora (Meet Me in the Stars)” and, having written and re-written this description several times, I still have a hard time putting down my thoughts. I love it – that’s it. Maybe you will too. You can hear all of their music on their Soundcloud… all of it 
One of my other favourites is “My Skateboard Will Go On,” and it makes me want to high five everyone everywhere. SO GOOD.
I love this band and bought their albums, I recommend you do the same.
(and by “buy,” I mean with money and not download them illegally. They’re indie, so support them).
Clear skies, everyone!
