Fantom Iris

Hey, everyone! The *Thunder Force* series is a really popular title among shooting game fans in Japan. But I get the feeling there are even more die-hard fans outside of Japan. Yamaoh played the drums with all his heart. I want everyone to shout out their love for Thunder Force V

And thanks to all of the SUPER GUESTS: @pitohui.org @lobosjr.org @skybilz.bsky.social @bobservo.bsky.social @lordbbh.bsky.social @tietuesday.bsky.social and @fantomiris.bsky.social!

Today I played Street Fighter II' at the arcade. Does everyone know this song? It’s the credits song that plays when you clear the game on a single coin. And since I went undefeated this time, it’s the special version. Back then, if you could pull this off, you were a hero at the arcade! kyo-ji

This month, Mr. Kishimoto, the creator of Double Dragon and Renegade (Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun), passed away. To pay tribute to this legendary creator beloved by fans around the world, I’m sharing a video from a few years ago of Yamaoh playing the drums. Thank you for the wonderful memories. R.I.P.

Happy 40th Anniversary, Castlevania! I’ll play this with all my heart! It all started with this song! Please listen to “VAMPIRE KILLER”

More Mikado - I made sure I bought the album by @fantomiris.bsky.social. Very excited to give this a listen soon!

Today,I managed to clear ESP RA.DE. in one coin at MikadoArcade. It was pretty shocking that the final attack from the last boss, Mrs. Gara,was a hundred-hit slap delivered by her own hands,wasn’t it? It’s one of my favorite games, but I’d love to know how popular it was overseas back then. kyo-ji

It’s the Obon holiday in Japan, so I went to my favorite coffee shop and had a chocolate mint crème d’anjou parfait! In Japan,opinions are split—about 60%of people like chocolate mint, while 40%dislike it (apparently, some say it tastes like toothpaste)—but I wonder how it is overseas? Bass: kyo-ji

Hello, everyone. It’s the “Obon” season here in Japan, a time for extended holidays. Fantom Iris is also taking a break from activities in August to recharge. Amidst all this, Yamaoh played the drums. The song is “Thunderbolt,” a popular track from *Life Force*.

Today,I received the SNK soundtrack CD Cross Sword& AGGRESSORS OF DARK KOMBAT,for which I wrote the liner notes! It was a truly rewarding project, both as a pro musician and as a top player of Cross Sword! I’m always looking forward to more music production projects, including those from overseas✈️

Fantom Iris's guitarist PATTZN is playing guitar and bass! The track is "OPEN YOUR HEART" the main theme from Sonic Adventure. Hey, I'll play with you some other time!!

Hey! We’re currently working on a new CD for an upcoming Japanese game convention.💿🎶 It’s made entirely using sounds from various game consoles, including the Genesis, SFC, and GB!🎮 For the cover art, we used ourselves as the inspiration and designed it to look like a game package from the ’80s!

Today I beat Gradius II on a single coin using Weapon type3. The blue force field and ripples are beautiful.✨ A wonderful ending that will go down in gaming history. It plays with a melody that resonates deeply, even amidst the hustle and bustle of the arcade. Bass:kyo-ji

Premiering tonight at 5 PM Central, a long(er) form video all about Final Fight! It's not just the history and the mechanics...it's also interviews with those who were there at the time and those who have found the game since! Featuring Super Guests @fantomiris.bsky.social! youtu.be/9n9oBJbq2Sc

And here is a link to the video that has kyo-ji's one-coin clear with Haggar, as well as kyo-ji and Jinja's 2-player clear with Cody and Guy! www.youtube.com/live/GCgF2v7...

How are you all doing? Now that the production project has wrapped up successfully, I’m getting ready for this month’s broadcast. The theme for June is ‘Racing and Driving Game Music’.🏎️ I wonder if F-Zero, Daytona USA, R4, or Out Run are popular? Please let me know your favourite tracks and games!

This looks like the Studio Noah I used to practice drums at 💪 Nice stick control and attitude on display here

Hey everyone One of our fans living in San Francisco contacted us while traveling in Japan, saying they wanted our CD. I handed it over today. It's awesome that our music is reaching people across the ocean! YAMAOH gonna express it on the drums! The song is from SEGA's classic Space Harrier

Yamaoh from Fantom Iris will be playing the drums. The song is the classic "VAMPIRE KILLER" from Castlevania. Enjoy, everyone!

For any who haven't given this a watch yet, Mayor Haggar demands your attention! There's a super interesting bit about members of @fantomiris.bsky.social approaching the game from a musical perspective that you won't see talked about anywhere else!

Here’s a video of my Final Fight run at Game Center Mikado! It’s been viewed 170,000 times worldwide📺 Check out bassist kyo-ji’s Haggar run, which was also featured in the anime *High Score Girl* I’ve also included a stream of me clearing the game in 2-player mode! www.youtube.com/live/GCgF2v7...

FANTOM IRIS appeared today in a Final Fight-themed video on @onemillionpower.com ! Bassist kyo-ji is an active top-tier player who once achieved a one-coin clear of *Haggar* on a stream by Game Center Mikado. They also talked a lot about the background of the game back then! Check it out!

How is everyone doing? Today, I took a break from working on my music to go out and have some traditional soy sauce ramen. Speaking of Naruto🍥,the manga series are really famous overseas, aren’t they? I’m still more than happy to accept music production requests from people overseas! Bass:kyo-ji

Origami. I tried making some for the first time in ages. I can still fold cranes and paper balloons without any trouble, but I’ve forgotten how to do the other ones. It’s amazing how people back then came up with things like this🪽 (jinja)

Fantom Iris performed at a retro gaming expo today. Our new CD, *Fantom Squad II*, was a huge hit—and we actually sold out!✨ We’re so grateful to everyone who came out to support us and bought our music! As a musician, there’s nothing better than having a light load on the way home.🏘️

Hello! Yesterday, at a game shop I visited for the first time, there was a poster featuring us, Fantom Iris, right next to the register! I even chatted with the store manager for a bit. I’d love to take on more work producing game music and theme songs, both domestically and internationally!
