This is one of the most common series of Action-RPG in Japan. They are works of Nihon Falcom located at Tachikawa, Tokyo. The first story was released on 1987. Latest story has been released on September 2009 as ys7.(Wikipedia)

Copy at the time says, “Now, a RPG goes on to the age of fondness.”

The third story was released on 1989 as “Wanderers from Ys”. Based on this episode, “Ys The Oath in Felgana” was released on 2005 with highly improved graphic, sound and 3D look and feel.

This is the first story of “EarthBound” series, known as a masterpiece of RPG, released on 1989 by Nintendo. (Wikipedia)

Copies at that time were “Don't be moved to tears till you achieve ending.”, “Assured as a masterwork” and so on.

This is the first story of Goemon series on SNES, released on 1991 by Konami. Whole description of magnificence is at this site (in Japanese). I totally agree with the rating of that site. Of cource, BGMs are great.(Wikipedia)

The title says that players are ninja(Japanese spy), but Goemon is commonly known as burglar in Japan. He allegedly stole items from rich and gave them to poor people in the Edo period. (Historically, he was said to be an assassin or ninja. So the English title is rather appropriate to describe who he was, but not concerned to the story itself.)

I like Bach very much, but I do not remember exactly why. His musics seem to drive my rational nature.

高校時代も学校の行き帰りに良く聞いてた。

きっかけは，ブランデンブルク協奏曲のMIDIファイルがNEC版Windows95に付属してたから。うん。確かそう。それを当時使ってた PC-9821Ne2 ってPC-9821系ノートに，TDK製のミュージックカード（PCMCIA，PCM音源）を差し込んで聞いてみたら，そのFM音源とは違う臨場感に感激して好きになったわけです。

今ではソフトウェア音源が普通ですが，当時はまだソフトウェアのPCM音源だとシャーってノイズ（バイオレットノイズかしら）が気になりました。安いヤツではね。

この曲，『サウンド・オブ・ミュージック』って映画で出てきた曲なのね。確かミニシアターでの公開だったんだけど，それをビデオで借りて見てから夢中になっちゃった。(Wikipedia)
