I've really enjoyed video game music ever since I was a kid. Although my game music isn't as expanse as some of the other music I enjoy listening to it's still great. Every day it's slowly growing. First soundtrack I really wanted to get was Final Fantasy VIII OST. I remember so many memorable songs from that game especially "The Man with The Machine Gun", which is by the way the most best fight theme IMO in Final Fantasy. At the time I didn't know much about where to get game music but eventually found Galbadia Hotel. After awhile I stopped downloading music because I didn't have much interest in it or either couldn't find anything else interesting to listen. Fast forward to this year. I remember hearing DJMAX Portable over the internet and really wanted to download the music. I got that and began to discover doujin music from it. Searched and searched all over the net and found various sources including this site. A lot of the doujin music derived from a lot of Touhou oriented ones which really got me into video game music again, because of how mind-blowing it was for me to hear video game music arranged in a new fresh way. Kinda like how a producer samples a classic from whichever era and it makes it fresh. Since then I've begun to collect more VGM music again and discovering new music as well.

I haven't really started collecting actual CDs of my favorite game music. I own very little at the moment but I plan on collecting it later on. Right now I plan on buying various doujin cds this year and so on. I just like being able to hold on to the actual album in my hands. Has this special aura around it for me haha. Buying stuff out of the country is pretty cool as well which adds more to the excitement when you receive it. Other reasons that I purchase is, because I can't find it nor do I want to dig deeper into the net where it may be privately located within torrents or what not. Too much of a hassle for me just for one album. I just hope I don't get caught up into the habit of collecting more which has happened in the past especially for import items which are very pricey sometimes XD.
