This album was meant to be released on Satoru Iwata's birthday of last year since his passing, but I've been running behind on stuff concerning school work and hanging out with family. I told a couple of people about this album, but I never did after the intended release date. Since it's ben a week ago of the year Mr. Iwata's passed away, I've decided to make one last tribute to this man for his awesome career and one of Nintendo's greatest creators.
It's been a year since Satoru Iwata has passed, but memories have not. And this is my 19-track tribute to him that was in the works from October to December 2015. But all of this was far from wanting to gain popularity, but in memory, remember the man and his legacy for one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time. Satoru, you will be missed dearly. Thank you once again. This album is "directly to you."
*"For Iwata: One Last Tribute..." was meant to be a released album, but since it was unfinished and the preparation was unorganized during the intended release, this will only be a "listen-only" album. Also, I don't want to gain anything from this album other than the same love and appreciation I did making this and sharing it. Thank you for the understanding. This album was produced and composed by Nib Roc. All songs used do not belong to me and belong to their rightful owners. Please support the artists as well as their releases.*
