Rhythm Encounter 157 – Visual Novel Soundscapes

Rhythm Encounter 157 Visual Novel photo-style collage from YU-NO, Suikogaiden, Ever 17, Summers End, and Cupid Parasite

It’s visual novel day at Rhythm Encounter! Following one of the quickest sign-up processes ever for our show, four visual novel fans have come together to share thoughts on the music of eight visual novels, but they discuss so many more in the process. We all quickly learned that this topic will have to make an appearance again because the well of inspiration is so very deep. But for today, listen as our panel digs in to Suikogaiden, Ever17, YU-NO, and much more!

Featuring: Patrick Gann, Neal Chandran, Audra Bowling, Gio Castillo; Edited by Mike Salbato
