MintJam is a doujin music band (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C5%8Djin_music), even though they got known here for arranging video game songs.
The band (formed in 2002) is composed of setzer (SETTSA), a2c (Si ATSU) and TERRA (Terra) but there is also this kya guy who was in the band formerly and participated in the making of their three best album (according to me) the First, Second, and Third Gig; instrumental albums (with vocals, the Fourth Gig is pretty good too, but I dont really like what they did after that). It is pretty complicated who is doing/playing what instrument on the albums since they all seem to play guitar, two of them sing and play bass, one is on keyboard (if I remember well kya used to be their main keyboardist, now it is someone else).
Wanna be Free!! (or Wanna be Free !!)[lol] is an arranged by setzer song from the MMORPG Ragnarok Online... I think MintJam did a pretty nice job on that one, it is the first song I ever heard from them (album Ragnarok Online Arrange (2004)).
Here is their English Google translated Japanese blog:

Rapidshare sucks, use megaupload instead.

What? Isn't it nice for real?
I mean, like in "nice" without "...."
Four dots, that's not nice!
Even a suspension point would have been nicer.
