Puyo Puyo is a puzzle game from Japan, and it has some great tunes. I don't know how to explain more without sounding obsessive to a concerning degree, but I'll try my best. (Also, I don't know how to spoiler it on mobile, so bear with me here.) Klug's theme, "Nebula Step" gives a sort of "cheery rock"(?) vibe. On my first listen it was odd, but on the next few listens it sounded pretty nice. The Puyo Puyo Chronicle version gives the original more energy and spirit, which is great. It sounds much better and fits the character, with or without the vocals. Nebula Step (PPC, Instrumental) Nebula Step (PPC, Vocal Track) (There's also "I'm The Greatest Ever" from Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary, but I haven't listened to it too much to form a solid opinion on it yet.) I'm The Greatest Ever (PP15th) Sig's (main?) theme, "Rapid Carefree Advice" fits it's name, being a very upbeat song to listen to. Personally the Puyo Puyo Chronicle version kind of.. ruins it? I'm not sure.. I just dislike it. Rapid Carefree Advice (PP20th, Instrumental) Rapid Carefree Advice (PPC, Vocal Track) (I haven't listened to "In The Middle of Stroll" too much, but on first glance it sounds nice.) In The Middle of Stroll (PP15th) To move away from character themes, the Puyo Puyo theme is catchy and memorable, but my favorite version of this track is either Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary's or the one from Puyo Puyo for the Genesis.

Monster Hunter Rise is out now, and I have been enjoying not only the game, but the music a lot. The soundtrack for it has so far exceeded my expectations, which were already fairly high. So, I'm thinking I might like to do one of those OST showcase things similar to what Ken Hisuag sometimes does. I'm not doing it right now, I haven't decided how I'm going to structure it yet and I still need more time to play through the game anyway. But I have a feeling I'm going to need more than one post to do the music justice, which is why I'm making it known that it's possible I could do something like this in the future. Or I might just end up doing a regular post on it in the end. But still. Also, I've just seen Ken's post on December 31st about archiving previous songs posted here, which reminded me that the Monster Hunter 4 Main Theme (Setting off Wind) link was broken in one of my posts. So since Ken said he'd like to update the list if any broken links are updated, I'm going back to that post and replacing the link now. In the meantime, I'm gonna share the ABSOLUTE BANGER that is Khezu's theme!
