Earlier this month, Bastion, Transistor, Pyre, and Hades developer Supergiant Games put on an orchestrated concert to celebrate its tenth anniversary. You can watch it in its entirety now.

Watching an artist sing their own song in the fake language found in The Sims series is always a treat. Even better when that artist seems super excited and happy while recording the gibberish. Beau Young Prince is featured in this clip on their Twitter account singing in smilish and reading the lyrics from a phone.

One of my favorite anime songs of all time is “Shiki No Uta”, the ending theme to hip-hop martial arts epic Samurai Champloo. Japanese hip-hop, soca, and reggae artist Minmi just debuted an English version of the tune, and it’s so good. Listen on Spotify, Amazon or Apple Music. Then return and gush.
