Japanese classical guitarist Kaori Muraji has built a career with a musical repertoire that ranges from Spanish concertos to film soundtracks.

Now she is expanding that range even further.

This video follows Muraji’s recent performance in Tokyo and explores her latest album, “Eternal Fantasy,” which features arrangements of music from major video game titles such as Final Fantasy, Pokemon and The Legend of Zelda.

She also discusses how video game music differs from film scores, and how classical guitar continues to evolve.
