UNDERTALE 5th Anniversary Concert

A track from the PC RPG UNDERTALE, developed by Toby Fox, who is active as a composer and indie game creator.

It appears from the early stages of the story and serves as the battle BGM for Sans, a character who stands in your way only on the Genocide Route.

Even among UNDERTALE’s many acclaimed pieces, this one is especially popular.

The original’s thrilling melody is captivating, but the orchestral arrangement’s dynamics elevate the piece to an even more dramatic level.

If you’ve played the game, this grand, enhanced take on a classic is sure to get you pumped.

Let out a battle crysugiyama kouichi

Letting out a roar — Dragon Quest VIII

This is the track that plays during regular battles in Dragon Quest VIII.

It’s a true fanfare that instantly stirs excitement and tension for the fight to come.

Just hearing the ascending melody at the start conjures up images of the heroes facing off against monsters.

And that bold, triumphant motif that charges into the enemy lines with a roar—how can you not love it? It’s the perfect number for when you want to ignite your fighting spirit or psych yourself up.

[15-Minute Endurance] To the Vast World - Dragon Quest VIII (BGM)

The background music that plays when you walk across the vast, fully explorable 360-degree field in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is one of the most beloved tracks in the series.

Its quietly opening melody evokes the hero’s very first step into an unknown world.

From there, the layers of sound gradually build, giving you the sensation that the endless horizon and grand scenery are unfolding before your eyes.

Even without lyrics, it conveys a clear sense of anticipation for the adventure to come.

Koichi Sugiyama himself reportedly called it “one of my best works,” which further speaks to the game’s high level of polish.

Prologue from Makaitoushi Sa·GaRomanshingu Saga

From Orchestral SaGa: "Prologue from The Final Fantasy Legend" and "Battle No. 1 from Romancing SaGa 1–3, Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song-"

The theme song of Romancing SaGa, the fourth entry in the SaGa series released by Square in 1992, is “Prologue from Makai Toushi Sa·Ga.” It was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, known for creating music for the Final Fantasy series.

In 2021, to celebrate the SaGa series’ 30th anniversary, the orchestral concert “Orchestral SaGa” was held.

The original, distinctly video game–style sound was arranged into a grand orchestral piece.

The flugelhorn solo at the beginning really resonates with the heart.
