both of the Earthbound composers did this interview for some french s*** some time i stumbled upon so i translated it myself just now for you guys:

Keiichi Suzuki composer of Earthbound soundtrack when selecting albums that made Earthbound what it is:


(...) The Beach Boys "Smiley Smile" (1967) I thought of mentioning Smile which is a canceled piece of work. But instead of going back to a legendary unfinished album that never saw the light, i will compliment this version commercialized, for what it’s worth, which has elements of Smile in this arrangement.

It’s an album really mysterious that captures all the light and obscurity darkness of America and is completely absent of drums. The percussions technics on this album had an enormous impact on the videogame.



Van Dyke Parks "Song Cycle" (1967) Van Dyke Parks was Brian Wilson’s collaborator on Smile, in vain.

This is his first album, came out after the Smile project, and also considered as a big flop. There is western humor, a misty sound, and a touch of Ray Bradbury.

This style was a key factor when i was writing the music of Earthbound.

Hirokazu Tanaka
 also composer of Earthbound soundtrack when selecting albums that made Earthbound what it is:

(...) Brian Wilson "Brian Wilson" (1988) We talked a lot of The Beach Boys but this is the first solo album by Brian Wilson. I listened a lot to this on CD during my trips to visit Keiichi at his place at Setagay during production phase of Earthbound.

If I showed up too early, i would go for a ride with the cd on repeat. Personally I think of Earthbound when I listen to this album, in particularly the songs:


1) Love and Mercy

3) Melt Away

4) Baby Let Your Hair Grow Long

7) There’s So Many

His songwriting almost seems here normal on first listen, but... I can’t really explain it.

When you really understand and feel a poem, it really moves you deep inside. Hmm... I can’t express myself objectively on this.


There is a new deluxe edition of the album with demo versions of the songs on it, and it’s just... Mm!

I don't know why it's surprising that they're fans of western music considering how popular some Japanese media is over here but yeah

all those American army bases in the 50s probably planted the seeds for them appreciating rock and roll more than most eastern cultures

Tom Araya: I listen to all kinds of music. I mean, I myself have the Beach Boys, I like the Beach Boys. I watched the movie Love and Mercy movie about Brian Wilson with John Cusack. Really, really good movie. I grew up in the sixties.

Something happened to me in the early 1970′s. I heard a record by Joni Mitchell. The record was called Blue and it changed my life completely. There were two records that I played that summer – actually there were three – there was Surf’s Up by The Beach Boys, there was What’s Going On by Marvin Gaye and there was Blue by Joni Mitchell, and I played those records all summer, I think in 1971 or 1972, and that kinda shaped the way I wanted the music to be. It needed to be personal, it needed to be orchestral, it needed huge vocals like The Beach Boys did and it needed to be intensely personal. - John Wetton.
