Title: TREE OF KNOWLEDGE ~知恵の樹~
Release Date: 2011/05/01 - Out Now!
Price: Download $10 / CD+Download $12 + shipping
Composers: coda & surasshu

We are two Western composers, who have taken a great deal of inspiration from Japanese pop and game music. When we heard the music for eroge on the PC-98 in the 90s (particularly "Kono Yo no Hate de Koi wo Utau Shoujo YU-NO" by Ryu Shimada and Ryu Umemoto), we were amazed by the sound quality of the songs and their catchy and sophisticated style.

Because this music doesn't get much attention in the west, we decided we should make a tribute album to this sort of music. We asked Swedish artist Diana Jakobsson to draw us characters and American pixel artist Jordan Chewning to provide us with authentic PC-98 style cover art. We hope you enjoy it!

  • When I found this album on Bandcamp, I leaped instantly to purchase a physical copy. But I somehow felt unfulfilled when I realized how little I was contributing...so I bought two so I could give one to a friend. The music on this album is nothing short of absolutely phenomenal and inspirational...PLEASE tell me that you're going to release more! :D

  • @Demonstray thanks a ton! yogurtbox will continue to release albums, and you can also expect solo albums by coda (me) and surasshu. watch our bandcamp page and my blog for info.

  • The composer who inspired this project, Ryu Umemoto, has recently passed away on 17 August 2011. He was truly one of the greatest FM-synth composers there ever was. His melodic FM chiptunes revolutionized the music of visual novels as well as influencing RPG and anime soundtracks. It's somewhat ironic that he died just a few months after this tribute album was announced. Nevertheless, his legacy will continue to live on through his music. Rest in peace, Umemoto-san.

  • FM-synth is like the Japanese hentai equivalent to 70s porno music... the only difference being that FM-synth hentai music is actually good.
