    It's time once again for our annual mid-year check-in episode, celebrating our favorite video game music of the year thus far. It's also a fine excuse to talk about things like Arby's, Buddhist concepts of reincarnation, and getting the residents of Seth's Tomodachi Life island addicted to edible cigarettes.(00:00) Intro(18:14) Housekeeping(19:58) Sean Capri Presents the State of the Nintendo Music Address(39:22) Pokémon Pokopia(1:12:47) The Wide Open Sky is Running out of Catfish(1:38:26) Wax Heads(1:58:27) Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream(2:18:10) Mina the Hollower(2:45:28) YouTube Comment Oversharing Corner(3:01:34) Voicemails(3:13:21) Patron shoutouts & outro✉️ Send email to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠bitharmonypod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📞 Leave voicemail at (216) 230-8540⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎵 This episode's music playlist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Discord community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon for early access⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠► ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen to Bit Harmony on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠☆ Social Links ☆► Matt on Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@mattmurray.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠► Seth on Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@twodollarhero.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠☆ Podcast art by Natascha Murray ☆► Nastascha on Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@couchmochi.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠► ⁠Pastel Arcade on YouTube⁠☆ Radio stingers by Garrett Bugay ☆► Garrett on Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@garrettbugay.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎵 Music Credits 🎵► Mario Kart World was composed by Atsuko Asahi, Maasa Miyoshi, Takuhiro Honda, & Yutaro Takakuwa► Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment was composed by Keiichi Okabe, Ryuichi Takada, Kuniyuki Takahashi, Oliver Good, Keita Inoue, and Taichi Joraku► Pokémon Pokopia was composed by Hiromu Akaba & Jieun Kim► The Wide Open Sky is Running out of Catfish was composed by Charlie Kilgore► Wax Heads was composed by Gina Loughlin► Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream was composed by Toru Minegishi, Shinobu Nagata, Reika Nakai, and Kairi HamadaCraftus ~ Track 1 - Fat Bard (Bubsy 4D)Wakeboarding: Opening Theme - Ryō Nagamatsu (Wii Sports Resort)Underground BGM (Latin Guitar Version) - Mario Kart WorldThe Unknown Abyss - Hyrule Warriors: Age of ImprisonmentThe Traveling Korok - Hyrule Warriors: Age of ImprisonmentSunlit Search - Hidenori Iwasaki (PARANORMASIGHT: The Mermaid's Curse)Dream Island (Dragonite Doll) - Pokémon PokopiaSparkling Skylands (Day) - Pokémon PokopiaVermilion City (Night) - Pokémon PokopiaRoute 24 ~ Welcome to the World of Pokémon! - Junichi Masuda (Pokémon Red/Pokémon Blue)Windsock - The Wide Open Sky is Running out of CatfishIsabella Avenue - The Wide Open Sky is Running out of CatfishTitle Theme - Koji Kondo (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)Give Yourself Up to the Music - Wax HeadsWhispering Fog ~ Aiko Suzuki - Wax HeadsWhere and Wear Clothing - Tomodachi Life: Living the DreamStudio Workshop (Palette House) - Tomodachi Life: Living the DreamMii News - Tomodachi Life: Living the DreamGator Gallup (Nox's Bayou) - Jake Kaufman (Mina the HollowerTheory of Everything (Mirror's End) - Yuzo Koshiro (Mina the Hollower)Gravity Man - Mari Yamaguchi (Mega Man 5)Rolling Steam (Spiral Summit) - Yuzo Koshiro (Mina the Hollower)The Hollower's Guild - Jake Kaufman (Mina the Hollower)chimera solo (sean's version) - AP Thompson (Titanium Court)Stoic Porridge - Craigory Hamilton & Brandon Tanner (Caves of Qud)

    We Love Katamari
    Jun 14 2026
    Not only is We Love Katamari home to one of the great video game soundtracks of all time, it also gives us a lot of space. It affords us the room to meditate on the inherently adversarial relationship between creators and their fans, celebrate the career of creator Keita Takahashi, and avoid rolling up too many cows or bears or cowbears. There's no point in thinking only about the future, so let's start rolling.(00:00) Intro(23:25) Housekeeping(29:31) Sean Capri Presents the State of the Nintendo Music Address(44:23) We Love Katamari(2:17:35) Voicemails(2:46:47) YouTube Comment Oversharing Corner(3:02:51) Patron shoutouts(3:05:27) Haikus & Outro✉️ Send email to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠bitharmonypod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📞 Leave voicemail at (216) 230-8540⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎵 This episode's music playlist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Discord community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon for early access⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠► ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen to Bit Harmony on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠☆ Social Links ☆► Matt on Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@mattmurray.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠► Seth on Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@twodollarhero.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠☆ Podcast art by Natascha Murray ☆► Nastascha on Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@couchmochi.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠☆ Radio stingers by Garrett Bugay ☆► Garrett on Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@garrettbugay.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎵 Music Credits 🎵Mario Kart World was composed by Atsuko Asahi, Maasa Miyoshi, Takuhiro Honda, & Yutaro TakakuwaFugue#7777 - Asuka Sakai (Katamari Damacy)Bluffing Damacy - Composed by Asuka Sakai, Lyrics by Keita Takahashi, Vocals by KIRINJI (We Love Katamari)The Forest of Hope - Hajime Wakai (Pikmin)Crown City - Mario Kart WorldSpectating - Mario Kart WorldYoshi Star Galaxy - Mario Kart WorldVanilla Lake - Mario Kart WorldHouston - Composition and Lyrics by Hideki Tobeta, Vocals by YOU (We Love Katamari)Everlasting Love - Composition and Lyrics by Akitaka Tohyama, Vocals by Alisa (We Love Katamari)Houston (Rearranged by KIRINJI) - Katamari ForeverDISCO★PRINCE - Composed and arranged by Hiroshi Okubo and Yuu Miyake, Lyrics by Hiroshi Okubo (We Love Katamari)Overture II - Asuka Sakai and Yuu Miyake (We Love Katamari)Baby Universe - Composition and lyrics by Hiroshi Okubo, Vocals by Maki Nomiya (We Love Katamari)Bless My Stars - Composition and lyrics by Akitaka Tohyama, Vocals by Ranran Suzuki (Beautiful Katamari)Kraid's Lair - Composed by Hirokazu Tanaka, Arrangement by Kenji Yamamoto & Minako Hamano (Metroid Zero Mission)Brinstar Red Soil Swampy Area - Kenji Yamamoto (Super Metroid)Skipping Beneath the Stars! - Yuri Misumi (Katamari Damacy)Blue Orb - Composition by Tomoki Kanda, Lyrics and Vocals by Kahimi KarieKatamari on the Swing - Composition and Lyrics by Yoshihito Yano and Yuu Miyake, Vocals by Shigeru Matsuzaki

as an old school gamer and musician I've never thought to check if there was a VG music podcast but I'm glad I stumbled across this. I play in a thrash metal group in the UK and dabble in writing VG music for fun. Thoroughly enjoying this and I'd like to request more in the vein of retro music in the vein of late 80s/90s VG tunes. thank you! OL
