Rhythm Encounter 145 – Nocturnes & Counterpoint: Michiru Yamane

Rhythm Encounter 145 Michiru Yamane - art from Bloodstained and Suikoden III

We are at the beginning of “spooky season,” and while this isn’t (yet) our Halloween episode, October is a fine time to shine a spotlight on composer Michiru Yamane, known in our parts for her excellent work on the Castlevania and Suikoden series. That means some games you may expect, but definitely some you wouldn’t, from this talented composer. So dim the lights, summon your favorite fairy companion, and get ready.

Featuring: Mike Salbato, Hilary Andreff, Audra Bowling, Patrick Gann; Edited by Paul Dennis
