Shigesato Itoi wanted to make people happy, so he wrote you this album. He wasn't a musician and he needed a lot of help, but Keiichi Suzuki and the Moonriders were there to make it happen. Suzuki, who would later compose two soundtracks of Itoi's fantastic Mother (or Earthbound) video game trilogy, collaborated closely with him in arranging the material. Members of the then-4 year old band, the Moonriders, composed and performed music for each track. Itoi wrote and performed nearly all of the lyrics himself.
Outside of his video games (which have now gained quite an awareness in America thanks to the efforts of its devoted fanbase) the work of Shigesato Itoi and Keiichi Suzuki's Moonriders has remained criminally obscure in the united states. This 2006 paperfold rerelease has nearly reached the end of its distribution. Much like the Mother series, it can be kept alive by the few who have experienced it.
It is a wonderful album, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and more.
Thanks to Mr. Mars uploading the full album, I decided to put each individual song on RU-vid so people are free to download them and enjoy each one as they wish.
Thank you to, Itoi and his friends for putting this album together, it is absolutely fantastic and I hope everyone enjoys is as much as everything else he has done
Disclaimer: I do not own the copyright to this album, I am passing it along for your enjoyment due to its lack of availability. Please support Shigesato Itoi, Keiichi Suzuki, and the rest of the artists by buying other products still officially distributed, notably the Mother1+2 game boy advance cartridge and game soundtracks.
