Bakuken 4 Key Visual Revealed

Posted on by

The key visual for the next edition in the Bakuken stage play series has been officially released. It seems like we’re going back to the black/white color scheme from the first play.

And, I can’t help but imagine that the hairstyle for Michael / Akiyama Yoshifuru is reminiscent of Masayoshi Yura’s bandage/eye patch… I’m sure that’s not intended here; just, I can’t help but see things that aren’t necessarily there. haha

The new subtitle reads:

Swordsmen & Servicemen & Gluttony & War & Deception

NieR Composer / Pianist Keigo Hoashi leaves MONACA after 15+ years

Posted on by

Since today is the first of October, this is often when various contracts come to an end, and this is unfortunately true for Keigo Hoashi, who had been working with MONACA for over 15 years. He will be going independent, so we may still hear his music somewhere in the future.

If you are a fan of the NIeR soundtracks, half of them is all thanks to Hoashi’s work. As far as the NieR:Automata original soundtrack goes, you can see how each of the tracks are attributed to each of the MONACA composers here.

Here are a couple of his memorable tracks on the NieR:Automata OST:

  • Amusement Park
  • A Beautiful Song
  • Treasured Times
  • Vague Hope – Cold Rain
  • Forest Kingdom
  • Copied City
  • Widespread Illness
  • Vague Hope – Spring Rain
  • Bipolar Nightmare
  • The Sound of the End
