Listen to me talk Yoko Shimomura on M Disk Playlist

5 / 23 / 15

Yoko Shimomura talks Kingdom Hearts

I’m always excited to guest on other people’s podcasts, because not only do I get to talk to new people, but I also get a chance to chat about things I might not normally discuss on one of my own shows! I was presented with one such opportunity the other day when I was invited to talk about none other than game composer Yoko Shimomura on episode two of the M Disc Playlist podcast. If you like video game music, please give it a listen!

On the show, host Nitro and I discuss Yoko Shimomura’s extensive video game music history, as well as our five favorite Shimomura tracks. Nitro is extremely knowledgeable about her work, but I make up for my lack of knowledge by bringing my own special, uh… je ne sais quoi, I guess!

Of course, Shimomura is most well known for her work on the Kingdom Hearts series, and if you’re interested reading her discuss her Kingdom Hearts music, I definitely recommend checking out this transcript from her appearance on Square Enix Presents last year. If you’d rather hear the music in action along with some funny commentary, check out Sarah and Roy’s playthrough of Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep! Now there’s a whole bunch of Shimomura-related media to get you through the Memorial Day weekend (if you happen to be in the US).

Now, I want to know – what are some of your favorite Yoko Shimomura tracks?

Liebster Award: Strange and Fun Facts About Me

5 / 18 / 15

strangeandfunfacts_me

What a pleasant surprise! My great pal and podcast co-host Bryan of The Gay Gamer has nominated me for a Liebster Award, an act of kindness designed to spread warm fuzzies around the blogging community. Part of the award requires you to answer 11 questions about yourself and share 11 interesting facts before nominating a few other bloggers to do the same (kind of like a nice chain letter!). Since I don’t get too personal very often on Chic Pixel, I thought it’d be a great opportunity for you all to learn a little more about me! Here we go…

How cute is this Keroppi water bottle?! 🐸 You'r How cute is this Keroppi water bottle?! 🐸 You're meant to color on it with markers but I love the black and white look so I'm keeping it as is. Thank you so much for sending it and the Sanrio puzzle to me, @cozynamie! It came at a really tough time when I was going through separating with my husband of 12 years and it really lifted my spirits. I'm really grateful for all of the wonderful people I've met here on IG and am happy to have energy/motivation to post more again 💕

🌱 Ever Oasis 🌱 I’ve been really enjoying 🌱 Ever Oasis 🌱 
I’ve been really enjoying brushing off the dust from my 3DS’s this month! On a whim, I decided to finally try Ever Oasis for #ARPGAugust, and I’m really enjoying it so far. It has a really pleasant mix of town building and exploring! Plus, the characters are really cute 😍 the director Koichi Ishii is famous for creating the Mana series, so it’s got a very good pedigree! Has anyone else played this game?

Come explore the Eco Town in Fountain Valley with Come explore the Eco Town in Fountain Valley with me and @marquisdegame! There were so many neat finds, from Reboot figures (anyone remember that show??) to merch featuring my fav Touken Ranbu sword boy! 🗡️ 
It was a lot of fun getting out of my comfort zone to film this when I was out the other day. I'd love to share more locations near my new home in California - let me know if you'd like to see more reels like this!
