Tanaka Hirokazu no Uta / 田中宏和のうた / Tanaka Hirokazu no Uta

"Tanaka Hirokazu no Uta" is a bizarre new single from video game music composer Hirokazu Tanaka responsible for Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Mario, Mother, Metroid, and many other classic video game sound tracks as well as the anime series Pokemon. This song is performed by ten other people in addition to the composer, all named Hirokazu Tanaka. The music is reminiscent of Hirokazu’s work on the Mother series, providing an upbeat, chiptune-esque backdrop for the surreal sound of an 11-Tanaka chorus singing about being named Hirokazu Tanaka. The song talks about how the name was picked for them and that they didn't pick the name themselves. For all of you hardcore Hirokazu Tanaka fans out there, you can also download the A Capella version and savior every last note. This single was released one week early on HearJapan.
