In this episode of Bring the Pain, I decided to enter a challenge and do a Masters of VGM episode. The sole artist I will be covering is none other than Michiru Yamane, who is most notable for her work on the Castlevania series. In my opinion, Konami had always had great music in their video games, and Yamane did not disappoint. I started this episode with some of her earlier work that wasn't related to Castlevania before diving deep into that series. Between the songs, I talk about each game and give a memory or two about what that track meant to me or why I picked it. Being the VGM rookie, I have big shoes to fill, but I want to thank The Messenger, Martyrus, Professor Tom, Bedroth, The Last Rican, Kung Fu Carlito, justapunk, ScottieM, Ryan DS, Meatbug, and so many, many more for inspiring me to take this on. Have a great day, everyone, and may the VGM be with you.

Thank you for the support and contributions all of you make for my podcasts and articles each week. Y'all the real #Painbringers!

I own no rights to any of the music played in this episode. I simply admire what Michiru Yamane did for gaming, my memories, and creating some of the greatest soundtracks in VGM history to be produced.
