Welcome to The Diad Presents! Originally released on Friday, January 26, 2018 on the VGM Jukebox feed, this is a "dissertation style" VGM skit podcast I made. I had a recent guest appearance the much-beloved Forever Sound Version. During the show, I made a few references to a similarly-themed podcast episode I had done on the VGM Jukebox podcast feed. Because the show has never appeared here, I thought it might be a nice time to upload it for anyone who hasn't heard it.

Welcome to The Diad Presents! First, a correction. Between the time I recorded the episode and posted the finished mp3 file, I discovered that I had misstated the composer information for Casino Kid II. Originally, I read that the soundtrack was composed by Toshio Murai, but the actual end game credits list the composers only as “EIM Ltd.” "EIM" stands for "Entertainment Imagination and Magnificence," and after some further research, it seems that the likely composers are actually Kenji Eno and Michiya Hirasawa. I'm still not certain, but I feel more comfortable listing them instead of Murai.
