GameSetWatch - An Odd/Awesome Live Chiptune Performance From Omodaka - A really interesting performance by chiptune artist Omodaka at the Bowery Ballroom New York on March 22, 2009. This just introduced me to his stuff and I’m loving it, along with all the other videos over at Far East Recordings’ YouTube page. This video has also prompted me to start exploring more chiptunes style stuff now. There’s also a wonderfully informative video about new Japanese musical styles that talks about Omodaka and his unique mixture of retro chiptunes and older enka singing (it also covers the Pistol Valves and Yoshida Brothers which great as well).
