Scarlet Moon Records specializes in video game cover albums, but once a year, they break from tradition a bit. For five Decembers now, they’ve put out a special Christmas album featuring their top artists. This time they’ve brought together Hunter Bridges (Audio Director at Evening Star), Osamu Kubota (arranger on Kingdom Hearts and Ragnarok Online), and mojera, a duo comprised of composer Mitsuto Suzuki and vocalist Non. Some of the festive tracks they’ve created are from video games, while others are traditional carols.
“We love putting together these Christmas compilations, and it’s great that so many of our artists and friends are also big fans of Christmas music,” notes Scarlet Moon’s Jayson Napolitano. “We’re really excited to have Gene Micofsky and mojera contribute to the series for the first time. We’ve known Mitsuto Suzuki of mojera for some years and know he’s a huge Christmas music fan, so it was exciting to have them on board. I think fans will also enjoy an original Christmas track by VECTORDRIVE and Ryan Postlethwait, ‘Sunset on the Drift’ along with the rest of this year’s offerings!”
