Episode 114: Donkey Konga, PaRappa the Rapper, Final Fight... Tonight We Decide! The Perfect Games for Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do!!
What games perfectly match the musical scale of Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do? In this episode, Yonaka Tawashi-san and Hyuma-san take on this mysterious and unique theme. Having previously assigned a game to every character of the Japanese 50-sound alphabet, the duo now seriously and joyfully selects titles fitting for the fundamental notes of music.
The discussion begins with "Do".
Starting from the association of "Do" with "Donut," unexpected titles emerge one after another—from a Nintendo DS game featuring Mister Donut to indie games where you control a hole to swallow objects. Meanwhile, since "Do" is the tonic of the scale, works that allow you to enjoy music itself are also considered.
Selection proceeds across multiple criteria.
Rather than just picking titles that literally contain the sound "Do," the discussion deepens through "multiple axes" proposed by Hyuma-san, such as the perfection of the rhythm game mechanics and the overall atmosphere of the titles. Famous titles enjoyed with dedicated controllers and nostalgic works that judge vocal pitch appear, tickling the listeners' memories.
Enjoy the selections from surprising perspectives.
Their conversation expands into the surprising philosophy of certain games and memories of unique designs characteristic of older hardware. As the episode moves toward Re, Mi, and the subsequent notes, what titles will they choose? Please enjoy the full episode to find out.
