Sawubona, eye-catching listeners and welcome back to the wide position of VGM reviews as we will be diving into an interesting visual novel/musical adventure game known as Triangle Again, available on the Xbox and PS2 itself.

By following the same routine of explaining the summary altogether, it revolves around the story of young Akari Tateshina's debut as a pop singer. Adjusting to her matters at hand, several sets of choices are available for the player to choose in notes, rather than text (i.e. clickable versus auto-scrolling text).

From the concluded courses of actions taken by her, she will expand her career path towards fame with her splendid musical talents in the plot, including her friend, Yumi Ishizaka as she is willing to aid her in participating in a certain audition by teaming together in performing a solo ballet act while Akari focuses on playing the piano, which resulted in the judges paying their attention towards her magnificent skills in harmonizing the correct notes of the piano.

With the soaring commitment to being a debut singer, she took her chances in becoming one as the story progresses. This includes meeting with several new characters that are introduced into this storyline such as Naoko Sakuma, Kasumi Midou, Masaru Kiryuu, and so on where all of them will play an important role in influencing the heroine’s state of choice for which to overcome the conflicts attached by their discovery.

However, one question in mind, will she be able to achieve her dream as a well-known singer in her area, or are there other opportunities she might be interested to partake inside her career life? Stay tuned by playing/watching the contents of the game obtained.

Delving into this VGM review, it offers a different start as this track displays the vocals of the singer, who is actually Yoshiko Nawa herself, which sang the prepared lyrics by Shoko Fujibayashi while the whole composition was created by Toshiaki Otsubo.

By offering a sense of pop music, it moves in with an opening that keeps rejuvenating your attention by seeing how impressive the key point of the composition itself is played along with the singer in maintaining the consistent tempo from both sides. The most significant duration of the track in this review will be around 1:07, as the combination of the singer’s vocals kept igniting the continuous composition from one point and another. This is why the track itself has made a great entry in occupying the highlights of a specific pop music genre from the 2000s in its golden era received.

Therefore, by ending this VGM review with a rating, I’ll give it around a 7 out of 10 for this listed game. Hence, sit back and enjoy the quote provided by Eddie Riggs from Brütal Legend. “A good roadie knows his whole job is to make someone else look good, keep someone else safe, help someone else do what they were put here to do. A good roadie stays out of the spotlight.” “If he's doing his job right, you don't even know he's there. Once in a while he might step on stage just to fix a problem, to set something right. But then before you even realize he was there or what he did, he's gone.” [Eddie Riggs]
