It feels obvious to say, but women kick ass. In honor of the 35th anniversary of Street Fighter II - which featured one of Yoko Shimomura’s earliest soundtracks - and in honor of Women’s History Month, GameGrooves presents Lightning Kick!

ZeldaRocks's artist spotlight What inspired you to choose your track? Given how the protagonist/hero's theme is woven throughout much of the game's soundtrack we thought someone should make sure it's on the album! The somber determination in the piece is also an interesting choice for a character theme, but it fits Ramza perfectly. What is your favorite memory of playing FF Tactics? Definitely the first time I played it while visiting a high school friend. He was playing his dad's copy and telling me all about the game, and later his dad came in and also started gushing about it so that was a fun moment of generational nerdiness. Hopefully the remaster will connect more people like this!
Check out @zeldarocks.bsky.social's contemplative arrangement of the Protagonist's Theme, perfectly closing out our piano album, Brave Sonata.

Had a great time arranging for and playing on this album!
Was fun to take a classic battle theme and mellow it out with some jazz, and there a several other great songs doing the same on here so give it a listen if you haven't already.

I am lucky to be featured on here covering Route 120 from Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald! Check out the relevant links below!!! 🔽🔽🔽
Of course!
I found your music a few months ago from your cover of the Bowser boss theme from Yoshi's Island, and now I've listened to most of it. Especially big fan of the MMX covers. 🤘
The remastered version of my piano cover of "Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit" is live now on YouTube and all music streaming platforms!

Posting this cover of “The Shallows” from @aggrocrabgames.bsky.social ‘s Another Crab’s Treasure one more time to celebrate the release of their big “Year of the Crab” update! Can’t wait for it to come to Switch so I can sink my claws into that New Game +.

Good to know!
I didn't realize there were services for that so I'd just been copying them by hand.
I'll be interested to see how well that works!
I've tried copying some of my more popular Spotify playlists over but they haven't gained any traction, and it seems like Apple Music as a platform doesn't really like to highlight user-generated playlists.
After 3 years, our piano cover of the Forgotten Land final boss finally hits streaming tomorrow! (Thanks Nintendo Music for making this licensable).
This is one of my favorite covers so excited to have it out there, and with all I've learned since then it's freshly remastered with a new solo.
We got to cover "We Are!" from One Piece for this, which was an absolute blast and we got to make our dream of having a full English cover with the opening narration a reality!
On streaming services now:
Spotify - open.spotify.com/track/6hOG7n...
Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/we-...
This was so fun to conduct (and shout!)
I recorded the Gold Saucer theme for this!
Overall a fun little album with a lot of talented folks and a good blend of relaxing and upbeat piano arrangements. Give it a listen!
New cover - a surf rock spin on "The Shallows" from @aggrocrabgames.bsky.social 's Another Crab's Treasure!
Easily our favorite game of 2024, so it was super fun to pay a small tribute with this song.

Still hoping Nintendo will add more Kirby music one of these weeks, but for now I'm tired of waiting so I made a playlist of every notable song I could find with an official arrangement or a cover on Spotify!
There's at least a few songs from every game on there. 😁

We both thought it was awesome!!
As someone who hasn't really played it I just thought all the scuba diving shots and overall performance were excellent, but she was especially blown away by the effort and pointed out all the details that were accurate to the game.
Plus the food looked delicious!
My partner's a huge fan of this game so we'll definitely be watching the video later - just this snippet looks amazing!

After a year in making, I invite you to take the dive. My prog-rock and metal tribute to this amazing adventure-meets-cooking game is here 🍣

Shares very very much welcomed 🙏
Licensing never ceases to be a headache - hopefully that game gets an official OST through the Nintendo music app someday because I love that song and your cover was awesome, so it would be sick to have it on Spotify.
