Phantasy star vibes! I love it! Hooked me immediately at the beginning with those chords and arpeggiation. The drums sound nice and tight too. Welcome back, looking forward to hear more Capy this year 
Dude yes. Had to run pick up food for the kids so I got this one in the car and so so good. The chords just take me away immediately with that wonderful wobble.
It’s got this hopeful cassette future vibe. The synthwave will save us all haha.
Loved it
Super chill dreamcast vibes instantly. What a start to the year!
Great work!
Let’s goooooo!
Oh man, I LOVE the build on this one! When the entire thing builds up and unleashes around 2.10, it was chills - the full party has been assembled, and it’s time to go right some wrongs. Classic RPG vibes that you do so well.
Amazing start to ‘26!
Oh man, I'm ready to play this game haha. Love the build up and energy of this track, every layer is doing just the right amount for my ears and every new part that's introduced is killer.
Justin Case sits at his desk, lighting his fifth "last" cigarette before calling it a day.
Then, a knock on the door, a client, a cry for help, a challenge.
He's getting to old for this sh*t, he thinks.
He grabs his trusty shooter, just in case.
Justin is on the case!
Is what I imagined when I listened to this track.
Here's to a great 2026!
what a cool track! makes me want to explore the region and fight robotic gang members to level up!
I can see the Phantasy Star, the strings guiding you through space, the guitar being awesome.

Beautiful and uplifting, rich harmonies, lots of reflection. A bit menucore in a good way. Def can visualize cheezy transitions between the shots of the music video for this.
Nice dynamics too! I was a bit impatient at first for the drums to kick in but got more and more rewarded!
Good to hear you again!

Hahah this is great!
Feels like I've been transported to an unreleased squaresoft rpg montage. Always enjoy your chord progressions and where the melody takes us. A journey through spacetime, clouds in the distance. Drums sound great especially with the added fills, giving us a sense of progression. Great to hear you back levelcapybaraaaaa!
Oh yess! Welcome back! I'm looking forward to hear your music this year!
Love these synth phantasy star vibes, also gives me shmup choice selection vibes!
welcome back, A soundtrack to the 80's, ready to get some new kicks at the mall. As we are the coolest kids, love it!
Oh the chords from the start bring me back to games I barely remember and the atmosphere is killer out of the gate.
People mentioning Phantasy Star vibes make me wish I'd played them back when I saw them in gaming magazines lol.
Drums just came in and I'm groovin in my chair. THE SNARE. delicious. TBH this would fit in well on the VA-11 Hall-A soundtrack and I adore that soundtrack. This is truly great and what a way to start 2026.
I love the little arpeggio at 214. I love those drums. So much to love.
Ooo, synths everywhere but still your sound somehow. Great to hear all these new elements in your work. Love the nostalgic atmosphere.
行きましょう!!! ╰(▔∀▔)╯
Lovin' the tom fills, JerwuQu nailed the vibe with the above gif... like a neon sunset. Great start to the year
it begins indeed! I'm loaded up now. What a great throwback vibe. Great build and arragement. I'm stoked to go on a musical journey with you this year.
love;y. there’s something about that lead guitar patch that just seals the deal for me
Fucking with this one bigly. That synth lead is just chefs kiss
Listened to this on the way to work this morning as the sun was rising. Dude it was a great time, good job!!!
It feels like 2026 is starting with a space adventure. These icy synths have a really nice vintage sound. The synthwave toms are awesome too. Let's go for yet even more beats!
Optimistic and motivating! Love the sparkly synths and movement here. Let's go 26!
I hear '80s toms, I like. It's as simple as that. But of course the string machine and synthwave arps are also very welcome. The entire track is fantastically retro. Such a nice opener to your 2026 weekly beats, dreamy but gets increasingly dramatic as time goes on. No notes, five stars.
What's the KORG tag about?

Hell yeah man, this is some time cop level shit
Everybody, thanks so much. 🥰 I’m still getting my thoughts together for individualized replies, and I know I’m behind on listening / comments, but for now let me just say this: WB has been one heck of a beacon of hope and inspiration. Every track, comment, GIF, and positive vibe you’ve all contributed have left an immeasurably empowering impact. That’s true for me and true for others all over the world, whether they’re actively participating or dropping by to visit. And that matters so, so much these days. So, keep up the great work everybody - keep spreading that positive energy. Discover a newcomer’s track and let them know how awesome they’re doing. Reach out to an artist you admire and that dream collab a shot. Spam the Cool Music thread in the Discord with all your favorite songs. Smile and laugh off the weeks where you missed a deadline or felt like things didn’t come together. Enjoy getting to share this uniquely cool space with everyone, and take that positive energy out into the world and do anything and everything you can with it. And never forget what it felt like to make something you loved here, and that some lucky listener out there, wherever they are, felt the same way hearing it. Happy WB 2026!
I saw ViridianLoom's comment before the song started and.... haha I would've likely said the exact same thing
There's this feel to Phantasy Star Online's OST that I am absolutely in love with, this is like a synthwave version of that

Thanks Mission Crossing! Hope your 2026 has been going alright. Always looking forward to hearing your latest!

Every time I dig into the Phantasy Star Online OST I come away with a new favorite and happy feelings. 
So it means a ton to hear that feedback from you and VL. Thanks so much for listening!
