It seems like this PC-98 theme isn't as overrated as i thought. This is very good and catchy, and is totally better than the overrated vocal arrange with 76M views, but there are way better themes from the same franchise, like vanishing dream from touhou 3. 0:03 and 0:55 are the best parts, by the way
It's impressive for a game designer to design the game, do the art, AND do the music as well. Usually you have different people do different parts of the game design since most people specialize in just one thing I hope one day I'll be like that. I can play this song on piano, and I'm majoring in computer science. My art skills are good for drawing non-humans/anime, but wanna work on that for anime/manga

Real question: Is this the person who does the voice of King of all Cosmos from "We <3 Katamari" ? Listen to "A Song for the King of Kings". It sincerely sounds like the same person.
I don't think I can convey to you just how thoroughly my world has been rocked by this realization I've loved Katamari and this video since I was a wee lad and never would I have expected there would be any form of crossover in the slightest lol
I have a good solution to the "Alstroemeria Records Bad Apple!! vs. Lotus Land Story Bad Apple!!" debate. Just consider the former an original composition that borrows melodic material from the latter. That way you can appreciate both on their own merits. (Seriously, though, the vocal arrangement has a b-section melody that is completely unique to it, while not using the b- or c-section melodies of this piece in any capacity. It's at least 50% original song, using less than 33% of this track.)
Nah. Retro just isn't my type, me not being a 90's kid and all. I can see the appeal in this, but I'm gonna have to say I prefer the Japanese vocal over this one. Maybe if this was made at the time of EoSD or after I'd like it better.
