I choose to listen to and collect VGM because Iam a music lover, and I've found that video games can posses some of the greatest musical compositions in the world.
I'm a novice collector at the moment. I just started really collecting VGM Soundtrack CDs about a year ago. My #1 objective right now is to collect everything I can by Hyakutaro Tsukumo (Factory Noise & AG, Technosoft). I love his work too much. I guess I was influenced by my love for the shmup genre. Thunder Force V, Blast Wind and Hyper Duel are among my favorites, and I fell in love with their soundtracks almost instantaneously. In the near future, I'd like to start a serious collection, starting with stuff by Chris Hulsbeck, Shinji Hosoe and Michiru Yamane. But that'll all have to wait until my money situation gets better.
