GameSetPics: TGS Chiptune Concert
Ah, a break before the final 'normal' Tokyo Game Show pics go up, since I managed to snap a couple of pictures of a special mini-chiptune concert at TGS, as part of the D4 Enterprise booth, and featuring, as is noted: "BEEP-BOY, DRM, hally and YMCK."
D4 (not to be confused with D3!) is an interesting company which deals mainly in digital distribution of retro Japanese gaming, particularly the MSX (though they also distribute Compile's RPGs and strategy titles for PC digitally, for example). Hally (who works there!) notes: "The first two performers play also as the demonstrators of 1-chip MSX, the brand new FPGA-based MSX compatible machine which will be released soon in Japan."
Here's what I managed to spot:


[UPDATE: I uploaded about 20 seconds of video of DRM's performance as part of this TGS chiptune showcase to Google Video - sorry, this is all the video I got!]

I hope someone has footage of the performances.

I have about 20 seconds of DRM playing the 808 State song, but that's it - will try to upload sometime.

Ah... that's undeniably "Pacific"... one of my personal faves. I'm torn between desiring more footage that I can never have... and feeling the giddiness that I can hear as much as I did.
