Today’s music comes from the Dragon story arc in Legend of Mana.
Complicated Destiny – Yoko Shimomura
[MEDIA=219]
I chose this one because it’s basically a two for one deal. It has it’s own little thing going on, and then it breaks into the sad music from the track Bonded by the Soul, and then back again a few times. Then I could have uploaded The One who Waits for the Breath of Destiny and Fiery Castle and everything could have played into each other even more. One thing I really like about Legend of Mana is how much the music for each arc calls back to other tracks used in it, gives a big overall feeling of familiarity with the story and really draws you in. At least that’s what I think. The best part is even though you’re hearing the same music over and over it never gets boring because it’s just so good.

– Hey everybody long time no see!
– I thought we got cancelled.
– No, Sheexy just got lazy.
– Shush. Anyway, we’ve got a few items this week, but there seriously is nothing good on eBay lately!
– Both of the Legend of Mana manga are currently on sale, so if you want them you should jump at this! You can get the Old Set or the New Set both for the same price. Don’t forget, you can make an offer on these items and possibly get them for even less!
– Even if you can’t understand the comics, since they’re in Japanese, the art is really fun!
– The only other item we’ve got is this Making of Mana Legend of Mana art book. It’s got some great art from the game in it, as well as a bunch of merchandise pictures!
– Well unfortunately, that’s all folks! Hopefully we’ll have some better deals soon!

Hey everybody, sorry for both the late MMM update and the apparent lack of updates to the site lately. I’ve been gone for a while and haven’t been able to do stuff, but I’m on break right now so maybe I’ll get something done soon.
For this week we’ve got a nice little tune from Dawn of Mana, enjoy!
A Mysterious Forest – Kenji Ito

Hey everybody, this week we’ve got one of my favorite tracks from Secret of Mana for you to listen to:
Did You See the Sea? – Hiroki Kikuta
I love how they take the Into The Thick of It track from earlier in the game and remix it, making it faster paced to give you a sense of urgency. Anyway I thought I had more to say, but apparently I don’t, so just enjoy the music.

And they got a nifty new icon made by Neesa:
You can see the other entries, including the second place entry by Tekka from the forums by going to this gallery. They all look really good, it must have been a hard choice for the judges!
And hey, if you have a dA and haven’t joined the club, do it!

Kassidy is gonna hate me for this one.
Rising Sun – Kenji Ito

And just because that one is kinda short, here is the original without the Endless Battlefield thrown in.

Sorry about the Musicless Monday last week, I’d claim it was because of the day that Music died, but that would have been the week before last week even, and also that would be largely tasteless.
This week we’ve got a classic Legend of Mana tune. Even if you played the game only a little you should know this one:
Wanderer’s Path – Yoko Shimomura

– Well guys, there isn’t much today, but some of it is kinda nice.
– One nice thing is this Legend of Mana Manga Collection. It’s the two new reprints of the old version, so you might just buy this if you don’t have those, unless you are a serious collector.
– Make an offer on that and you could get it for cheap! The same goes for this Seiken Densetsu Piano Music Collection! Make an offer on it and you could be playing tons of awesome tracks from the series!
– Well actually, that’s it.
– Really?
– Yeah, nothing else worth mentioning. A few deals looked good, but when I checked the shipping charges they were through the roof!
– That’s my secret to making lots of money.
– Stop that. Anyways, see you all next week!

– Hey everybody! Things seem to be picking up on eBay, so let’s get started!
– First I have this Legend of Mana Millennium Edition that has the Pearl and Elazul figurines as well as the Jumi jewelry box. The shipping is insane, but with the “make an offer” button you can possibly drive the price down to compensate.
– After Sheexy’s wonderful lesson on Posters last week, I’ve fallen in love with them!
– Sarcasm?
– Sarcasm! But I do have a few good posters to show you! First is the the Children of Mana Nintendo Power Poster which you’ve seen time and time again. But the second poster is amazing! It’s a Shiro Amano Legend of Mana Poster! It is pretty cool and I’ve never seen it before!
– Speaking of Shiro Amano, how about getting a good deal on the LoM Manga? Maybe you can get the recent reprint version for cheap, or if you can’t do that then make an offer on the original set and you might be able to get it for cheaper!
– I haven’t gotten to peddle music in a while, but how about this Legend of Mana Piano Book? Learn the tunes and I’ll dance to them!
– That’s it for this week, see you all later!
– I’m still a cat.
