Shenmue Day
Dear SEGA,
It has been 12 years
since you gave the world Shenmue.
Feels like yesterday.
And though it's dated,
no game has yet to match it.
Not a single one.
There's only one game
that could topple its greatness.
Shenmue 3, of course!
Sincerely Yours,
Just Another Shenmue Fan.

the first SEGA game I've seen.
Hmm ... this or Zaxxon.

Meri Kurisumasu!
Merry Christmas, Sedge!
I hope you enjoy your gift!
'Twas fun making it!
A shout out to Jesse for contacting me to help him make a special Christmas gift for his friend Audom. For all three of you out there reading this now, you might remember Audom as the Shenmue fan over at Sedge Trees that I've mentioned a couple times before. Jesse wanted to combine two of Audom's favorite things, Shenmue and Batman into one awesome gift, so he contacted me, I made the strip, and then he made a poster out of it. Looks like it turned out rather well. Your real Christmas present is that you have awesome friends, Audom.
By the way, Audom, your new nickname is Sedge. Another christmas present for ya.
And since we do everything in threes, here's another.
Quite the strange symbol.
Shenhua then thinks to herself
where did the moon go?
Merry Christmas, peeps!

SAVE THE WORLD, SEGA!
Dear SEGA,
You've got exactly
one year to make Shenmue 3.
So says idiots.
Maybe the world ends
because the game's not made yet.
Ever think of that?
Now THAT's some logic
I can wrap my head around.
Amen to that shit!

Just Another Shenmue Fan.

Shenmue OST Day
Today is the birthday of not just one, but TWO composers of the Shenmue soundtrack.
Of course I am talking about Takenobu Mitsuyoshi and Yuzo Koshiro .
While everyone and their mama is familiar with Koshiro, Mitsuyoshi is a bit more obscure, probably because he's strictly SEGA, unlike Koshiro. According to his Wiki page, Shenmue 2 was the last major game he worked on, and seems to be his last big project.
: (
I sure hope he hasn't been tucked into a corner by SEGA, as this gentleman has musical gold in his veins. Here's to hoping he gets to score more Shenmue and Daytona games. OR ANYTHING.
Howsabout a rousing live rendition of Let's Go Away from Daytona USA? HELLSH YESH.
I don't know who the percussionist is, but I really got a kick out of him. These two work really well together and are fun to watch.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not to leave Yuzo Koshiro out, here's a rather fascinating video showcasing some of his work.
While this vid kinda makes him look like a thief, it doesn't diminish his stature one bit. He's worked on many classics such as, Y's, Revenge of Shinobi, and Actraiser being a few not shown in the vid. The guy's a gaming legend.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While not their birthdays, Ryuji Iuchi, Osamu Murata, and Takeshi Yanagawa also worked together with the 2 birthday boys on the Shenmue OST, but that's not gonna stop me from declaring today as "Shenmue OST Day." NORP. Two out of five aint bad.
So do yourselves a favor and curl up to the majestic sounds of Shenmue today, and every other day for THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. Well, probably not that much, but at least on every December 12th. Better yet, listen to the Shenmue Orchestra cd. Here's a few of my favorite Shenmue songs to round out this post.
I didn't realize I've been sitting here for a few hours listening to all this great music, I'd better stop and post this already. Check out Ziming's channel at Youtube for every Shenmue related piece of music in existence. Matter of fact, check out his channel for everything Shenmue related, PERIOD.
