The finale of Individual, at least for the forseeable ever-growing future...
This post is all about the next episode of Individual, in a way.
We've done the McDonalds promotion now, but there's still the rest of the show to deliver! This "Sonic & Knuckles" episode of the Sonic 3 & K episodes will be about all the Japanese developers involved with the game, not just the musicians (although they get special treatment). Will my other interests in developers show through?

We’re closing out Americans Month next week, and it’ll probably be the most different-feeling Individual ever, because we’re only talking one game: Sonic the Hedgehog 3, filled with one-off American composers!

We're getting close that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 team episode. As a prologue, we'll cover a Sonic & Knuckles-only composer who also worked on all SEGA Technical Institute's works: Howard Drossin!

Let's actually talk an American composer working on American-made games, yeah? Maybe someone who's had an impact on the general American music industry, and has some very American sports games under his belt: Andy Armer!

A new theme month means 4 new people are revealed! But the one who kicks of "Americans Month" is David Leytze. Who's more American than Elvis? (he's a fake Elvis)

This month has stumbled into its own theme: Part 2s! We've had Jun Senoue Part 2, Izuho Numata Part 2, get ready for Koichi Namiki Part 2!

There's still several of Izuho Numata's SEGA years to cover, looks like we'll have to wait a year before picking back up in a part 2... or we could do it next week!

I hope it's alright with you that Individual's still going through a reinvention period. The thematic relevance to our next Individual? Izuho Numata took over Phantasy Star and reinvented it.

I wanna play it safe for the emergency 1-hour show. How about we finally do a second episode about Jun Senoue? Build up some hype for Sonic Symphony

Who could end off a month all about Game Gear composers? Maybe someone who, while a composer, had a bigger impact programming the very soundtracks that most those composers' music shine. Masayuki Nagao!

We've had one Panzer Dragoon composer this Game Gear Month, how about another with Saori Kobayashi, who, instead of post-SEGA content, can bring us pre-SEGA content?
The mid-point of Game Gear month is the lightest on 8-bit, but it's a highlight in its own way: Masafumi Ogata brings us the best that all SEGA's 90's consoles can offer.
Game Gear Month continues with Yayoi Wachi, who probably has some unknown works that can't be covered, but still has a sizable works list spanning Game Gear and Saturn.
Our second theme month is coming next week, and since there's 5 Wednesdays this August, there'll be 5 episodes tieing into that theme: Game Gear! All 5 individuals are revealed in here, but the focus is on next week's individual Kojiro Mikusa.
We've had some mid-to-late 90's episodes recently, and while you can point to Takenobu Mitsuyoshi or Naofumi Hataya, I say the real king of the 90's is Tatsuyuki Maeda. Let's see if he can conquer royals.
To end off our first themed month of Individual, we're taking another look at Hiroshi "Hiro" Kawaguchi. Obviously, this won't be set in the 80's, but instead the early 2000's, when a lot of retro releases of Hiro's music were starting to come out.

The hitd episode on the elder SEGA composers is gonna be about Tokuhiko Uwabo. We had a mix of arcade and console before, but this episode will almost entirely be console games, diving into SEGA's original metalhead.http://vgmdb.net/artist/1463

The second episode on the elder SEGA composers is gonna be about Katsuhiro Hayashi. With the funk he brought in his couple memorable years at SEGA, this might be the peak of the month.

This is the dawn of Individual in its third year, now with a couple themed months... How to begin? With the OGs that put SEGA music on the map. And we begin with their master: Tohru Nakabayashi.

Thanks to the hardcore Ravsieg, the focus of a special third-party focused January episode of Individual is all about Tetsuya Shibata. Now the CEO of Unique Note, his CAPCOM years will be covered via SEGA's Saturn, Dreamcast and NAOMI systems!

I want to do this episode LiVE. But I don't know if I can do it LiVE. If we're lucky, you'll get to talk about Chikako Kamatani with me as I stumble my way through my script.

While most SEGA fans can instantly recognise Jun Senoue's guitar sound, I've made it a profession to recognise the guitar sound of SEGA AM2's Tomoya Koga.

Surprising to have covered Brian Coburn before Spencer Nilsen, but it happened. You better enjoy this one!
A new feature for Individual's second series is episodes dedicated to remix artists from the fan community! And it starts with our own Rexy! Yay!
It's Teruhiko Nakagawa's birthday! This episode is going to be covering the early years of the man with over a hundred credits to his name (is that figurative or literal?)
A second episode dedicated to Yuzo Koshiro, finishing up his 20th century works and potentially getting a taste of the 2000's.
Yasuhiro Kawakami of SEGA, SQUARE and possibly IREM is getting an Individual episode sure to cover everything possible.
Everything's interconnected, jumping from Takenobu Mitsuyoshi's extensive Shenmue history, to Megumi Takano, whose debut work was Shenmue.
Individual's second part 2 is for the original Episode 2, Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, catching him up to Hiro's speed.
Individual continues, now with a new composer: Keitaro Hanada. Or Keitarou Hanada. 花田 啓太朗. Or 花田 啓太郎. The guitar guy.
Last year's new LiVE show Individual comes back on the 1st of June with a second episode talking about Hiroshi Kawaguchi.
Post includes tips on requesting and times to tune in.
The series finale of Individual takes a look at another of my favourite creators Takeshi Isozaki.
We go more retro than we have in a long time with Keisuke Tsukahara, the all-round sound guy who worked with quite a few different departments in the early days.
The first American with an episode of Individual will be Brian Coburn, a sound effects designer with both a surprising and perfectly sensible style of music.
The first show without Sonic in many moons, Yuichi Kanatani is more of a Yakuza and arcade guy, with a distinct Euro-inspired style.
The final to SONIC 10 is another Twindividual episode, going over Sonic the Hedgehog's most popular group artist Crush 40.
The Halloween episode ended up working out perfectly, with SONIC 10's penultimate episode delving into Tomoya Ohtani, the current Sonic series lead sound director.
For the 8th SONIC 10 episode the legendary Yuzo Koshiro takes us down the third-party alley into sinister territory.
Returning to a mainstay Sonic series composer for SONIC 10 episode 7, except very few of Mariko Nanba's early works as covered in this episode will be of Sonic games.
SONIC 10's second half kicks off with a UK composer that used to work for SEGA Europe, the controversial Richard Jacques.
The first half of SONIC 10 ends with a less personal episode on Sachio Ogawa, so it's mostly all about the games.
Last week was Kenichi Tokoi, now it's his pupil Hideki Naganuma getting the spotlight.
SONIC 10 episode 3 rounds out the Sonic Adventure 3 trio with brutal jazzmaster Kenichi Tokoi.
For the tenth (major) episode, we break the rules on Individual to bring an episode about a group, the beloved S.S.T.BAND
The big Yakuza man Hidenori Shoji is getting his early years covered on Individual, so his iconic MONKEY BALL music is on the table.
Another non-SEGA episode, covering Daisuke Nagata from k.h.d.n. and his history with the COMPILE legacy.
A hopefully simpler episode covering a modern AM2 musician in Yasuyuki Nagata, so there'll be a bit of speculation to go with it.
The most popular Commodore 64 composer Jeroen Tel is the first non-Japanese person to get an episode of Individual.
Long-standing Yakuza series music director and composer Chihiro Aoki is getting a (hopefully) complete episode on Individual.
The leader of the S.S.T.BAND, Koichi Namiki, is getting an episode all about his tenure as a SEGA employee.
We're completing the trio of SEGA Sound Masters with Fumio Ito, the long-running leader of the AM2 Sound Section.
The second episode of Individual focuses on Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, the best and most popular singer in all of SEGA!
Requests between 2nd Dec and 8th Dec
