Japanese are perfectionist, they want the best out of everything in their world, even music from games have to be beautiful. As such a lot of their most beautiful melodies are from their console games. These musics definitely brings back a lot of good memories and emotions to us, the old-time gamers. They are not only games to us, they are great pieces of stories brought to live, each teaches us some values that couldnt be learn from books. Although i am no longer gaming, but still, they are beautiful memories :)
