Episode 18 made LMH history by featuring the first interview with a legendary VGM composer. The focus was on none other than Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka, who had graciously agreed to answer questions by e-mail. Brent and Rob re-enacted the interview on the air in between their selected tracks, with Rob playing the part of the dignified Tanaka-san and Brent playing the roles of both boizz. The original episode is definitely worth another listen, both for Tanaka-san's insight and Brent's Rob impression.
NOTE TO THE DETAIL-ORIENTED: The track from Mario Paint was not composed by Hirokazu Tanaka, but he was the musical director on that game, and so that track was included in this mix.
