Individual

The fourth episode on Takenobu Mitsuyoshi follows a similar structure to the last: we're on our way up to From Loud 2 Low Too. Across his 2000's, we jump from console 2 arcade, from bass 2 vocal, from solo to [H.], and check off SEGA RALLY 2006, Let's Go Jungle, HUMMER, etc. CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 [Music] Black Jack: Hi no Tori Hen - Rising Phoenix ~Eternal Love~ 00:03:01 SGGG5 Original Soundtrack - I...

A special episode of Individual covers Mitsuharu Fukuyama's first 10 years at SEGA. Bringing us jazz, fusion and plenty more, his love of Out Run holds this all together as we race through CRACKIN'DJ, DERBY OWNERS CLUB ONLINE, TOUCH de ZUNO and more! CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 Crackin' DJ Part 2 Original Sound Track - Time Will Tell 00:03:05 Derby Owners Club Online - Ease 00:05:21 Talk 1 - Big Picture 00...

The WinterFest 2024 special episode of Individual calls back to S1 E10, and to Last Call, with another episode on Hidenori Shoji. Celebrating the first Yakuza's 19th anniversary in December, hear how those songs get remixed throughout games like Yakuza 3, Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin and Yakuza Kiwami, while also learning about Shoji's original music for Yakuza 2, BINARY DOMAIN, Yakuza 6: The Song of Life...

WinterFest is here! This individual was kept a secret, making himself known the moment WinterFest began. This episode covering the history and music of Masanori Takeuchi is extra hot and heavy metal, and even sneaks in some recommendations for getting into early 2000's metal. There's a focus on the indivuals of SEGA's AM R&D Dept. #1 (AM1), including GOLDEN AXE -The Revenge of Death Adder-, SKY TA...

Suddenly, the finale of Individual crept up on us! And it's technically a two-parter, with the American-focused Sonic the Hedgehog being made complete by locking on Sonic & Knuckles: a dive into pretty much every developer of the game. There are designers like Hirokazu Yasuhara and Takashi Iizuka, there are programmers like Yuji Naka and Masanobu Yamatomo, and there are artists like Kunitake Aoki,...

A special request from listener Jamie caps off Americans month. We're talking about one little game, but it was written like 1 really big game, but RadioSEGA imitates SEGA, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles has been split into the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 episode and the Sonic & Knuckles episode. This first episode covers every American musician involved with the game, from the figurehead Michael Ja...

The third episode in Individual's Americans Month covers Howard Drossin's history, some of which you can hear from the Howard's month on a pair of The SEGA Lounge episodes from 2020. This episode should give the third-person view of his years as a touring guitarist, how he entered SEGA Technical Institute and where the department, and his career as a SEGA of America employee, ended in 1996. Sonic...

Explicit warning! Your problem, not mine. The second individual of Americans Month is Andy Armer, who more people should talk about. This episode is stacked with canceled Sega Genesis games, plus a peek at Herb Alpert's work in the jazz/funk scene of the 80s. But when it comes to the actual released games, we're stepping on the Singing Mountain podcast's toes with Eternal Champions and Ecco: The T...

From one rocker to another, the American-themed month of Individual begins with David Leytze (who was in Japan when he was working for SEGA, oops). Some technically impressive games with less impressive working conditions are on blast with talks and music of Desert Tank, INDY 500, Fighting Vipers and more! Chapters: 00:00:00 - Introduction to Individual 00:00:00 - Talk 1 - According to davidleytze...

When the music you can play is mostly from albums, 4 to 6 minutes each, it becomes a very musical episode. Arguably, Koichi Namiki in a post-SEGA world is more of a multimedia composer than a video game composer, but he's still getting there. From PC-to-console ports to Aki Hata and Katsuhiro Hayashi collaborations, there's a lot of patterns to spot in Koichi Namiki's second episode, with talks an...

Easier to remember everything when it's only a week apart! It's the second episode covering the individual Izuho Numata, picking up in 1992 with the SEGA games Honoo no Toukyuuji: Dodge Danpei, Dark Wizard and Phantasy Star IV The end of the millenium. That's only 3/5 of the episode, though, because there's also plenty of talk, plus a bit of music, for her later Open Sesase works, including Metalg...

For the first time since Individual began, we have a multi-parter where part 2 will be coming only a week later! Also returning to pre-recorded content, this first Izuho Numata episode cover 1988 to 1991, so that includes her Falcom and CAPCOM ports, Master System games developed by Sanritsu, and her rare arcades games. Hope you enjoy these talks and music of Ys, Forgotten Worlds, Phantasy Star II...

A "1-hour show" became a very average-length LiVE show. A lot of Jun Senoue's personal insights are covered, whereas, in terms of actual games, there's only deep dives, both in terms of talks and music, for Sonic Adventure and Sonic Heroes! Chapters: 00:00:00 - Individual 00:00:18 - Pro Yakyuu Team o Tsukurou! 3 - Mr. Baseball feat. Eric Martin 00:01:08 - Sonic Heroes - FOLLOW ME 00:04:37 - Talk 1...

Hmm, why does this episode look so much shorter than the ones before it? Because it's pre-recorded again! Internet issues and all that. Anyways, Game Gear Month's most-hyped individual Masayuki Nagao had some involvement with this episode, answering questions and checking out radiose.ga/discord, so in addition to the GG goodness from Doraemon: Noranosuke no Yabou, Aa Harimanada and Sonic Drift, we...

The second Saturday show. It will not become the standard. Panzer Dragoon Saga also fiddled with conventions, specifically for RPGs, but lead composer Saori Kobayashi has roots in that convention, namely Sylvan Tale for the Game Gear. While that's her most famous, her Game Gear history crams 9 games into 3 years, including Deep Duck Trouble starring Donald Duck, Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble,...

In the middle of Game Gear month, the batteries start to run low, and while we can still make some progress in Defenders of Oasis, Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and Sonic Drift, we'll have to check out other consoles. Luckily, Masafumi Ogata offers us talks and music of Hyper Marbles, Sonic the Hedgehog CD, m ~kimi wo tsutaete~ and more! Chapters: 00:00:00 - Individual 00:00:08 - Super Mega Drive Fan: Mega...

NOTE: This episode has been heavily edited from its original LiVE broadcast. Anyways, the cute Yayoi Wachi is the second Game Gear Month owner, with prominent anime tie-ins like Kenyuu Densetsu YAIBA and Magic Knight Rayearth, as well as RPGs like Royal Stone and, er, Magic Knight Rayearth. Despite this, she may be most famous for her Sega Saturn works Panzer Dragoon Zwei, ADVANCED WORLD WAR -LAST...

Kojiro Mikusa has so much Game Gear to cover, we couldn't even get through all of it in this Game Gear Month kick-off! Beginning in 1991 with Ax Battler and ending 1995 with Tails Adventure, some of the Game Gear's most most famous appear among games for Game Boy and Super Famicom, with talks and music of FATAL FURY, Sonic Chaos, Coca-Cola Kid and more! Chapters: 00:00:00 - Sonic the Hedgehog: Tri...

An episode that's had ideas stewing around for months to a year, the dragon of the 90's Tatsuyuki Maeda is finally getting some love. From unreleased games to uncredited games, to the almost biggest hits of the Mega Drive and Saturn, there's talks and music of Golden Axe III, NINKU, Dragon Force and more! Chapters: 00:00:00 - J.LEAGUE PRO STRIKER 2 - Main Theme ~ Team Select ~ Match Setup 00:02:56...

While Professor Sei Matsumura couldn't make it to the discussion, we still got a lot out of his 7 years at SEGA. With some of AM3's most high-tech racing games, railroad games and gun shooters, please enjoy talks and music of SEGA TouringCar Championship, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Confidential Mission and more! Chapters: 00:00:00 - SEGA TouringCar Championship [Saturn] - Higher Streamer 00:04...

CRI? It sees you too! This episode of Individual covers the entire known history of CRI's Naoshi Kunisawa, with smooth tuens and erased tech issuens. Let the the talks and music of Zaxxon's Motherbase 200, SAND-R, Aero Dancing i and more wash over you. Chapters: 00:00:00 - WaveRunner GP - EXPERT COURSE 00:03:50 - Aerodancing i - In the Blue Universe 00:08:15 - Talk 1 00:31:46 - Tant-R [Game Gear]...

Surprisingly similar to the Hiro episode from last week, covering much the same time period (2002-2004) with many personal anecdotes courtesy of the Sanpe website. This episode has no 80's in sight though, and only some 90's thanks to From Loud 2 Low. It's about all early 2000's games like Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Marz, WORLD CLUB Champion Football SERIA A 2002-2003 and, um, Street Fighter II? Le...

There's a lot of talk in this episode, some still about the 80's through retro rereleases like SPACE HARRIER, FANTASY ZONE and AFTER BURNER, but with no games between 2001 and 2004, this episode's unique focus is on the public image Hiro put on Hitmaker Sound Page, including the personal lives of SEGA staff and fan interactions. Chapters: 00:00:00 - SEGA AGES Out Run - SPLASH WAVE 1996 Arrange Ver...

Individual now firmly upholds the Master System and its heavy number of soundtracks by Tokuhiko Uwabo, continuing the 80's month of pre-fame SEGA musicians. The development secrets (and tracking of developer high scores) are fascinating, with talks and music of FANTASY ZONE, Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Phantasy Star and more! Chapters: 00:00:00 - Alex Kidd in Miracle World - Alex Kidd (Main Theme)...

Our themed month on 80's SEGA superstars continues with Katsuhiro Hayashi. This episode was recorded over 2 days, but lock-on technology makes it possible to experience the funk and style as was intended, with talks and music of SDI, QUARTET, SUPER HANG-ON and more! Chapters: 00:00:00 - SDI & QUARTET ~SEGA SYSTEM 16 COLLECTION~ ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK - SDI REMIX 2005 00:05:05 - Super Hang-On - Sprint...
