This is an arrangement of "Pop Star," Jun Ishikawa's first stage BGM from HAL and Nintendo's Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards for the Nintendo 64. The audio was captured from a North American toaster model NES deck.

It doesn't at all embody the Halloween spirit, but the theme is such an earworm! In this arrangement, I used Konami's VRC6 chip, and the drums (aside from the cymbals), orchestra hits, and bells are PCM samples. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how it turned out, and thanks for taking the time to listen!
