This is the musical equivalent of an artist going "teehee just a silly doodle" and it's the Mona Lisa.

Making compositions this beautiful at 18 years old. You have a bright, bright future ahead of you ❤️

[@FrameRater]

This is very legit, great job

[@64Abstract]

gotta love those battle garegga patches
also god those leads 👌

[@sanicmaniac]

0:35 Mushroom Hill alt reference

[@buwayani]

I first thought this was an actual Battle Garegga song at the beginning lmao, really good man!

[@TheActualNoober]

If they have this kind of music, i dont plan on returning!
banger as always!

[@hiddenboy007]

1:11 the goddamn lick lmao

[@leafypotatostyle]

Man I think I'm going crazy - I KEEP HEARING THE INTRO STAGE BASELINE EVERYWHERE. To be completely fair its a crazy good baseline, and its so damn simple its hard not to hear it everywhere.

[@leafypotatostyle]

something about imitation and flattery

[@Cubby466]

I dont think ive heard a bad song on your channel ever, this is great.

[@ChibiTails]

This has gotta be the song I come back to the most. It's so good for chilling.

[@nwcr_]

The usage of the one PCM channel is absolutely superb in this one! You really made the OPN2 feel like an arcade

[@maxrichards5925]

A follow up to one of my favorite tracks? That’s awesome

[@MyloTratia4354]

The way the melody and bass flow with each other in this one is amazing! Couldn't stop myself from head bopping through it on my first listen.
*Also I hear that Mushroom Hill Alternate bass seeping in lol*

[@clairbuoyant]

i love how so many of your songs have the lick

[@bucolicgh]

god-tier work as usual, john!

[@stargazerkg]

I'm getting strong Streets of Rage vibes from this, it's awesome :D

[@fireyocean8129]

Your arrangements are always a treat, but I love seeing original songs from you. Amazing work, John.

[@ashkirby8896]

Nice Sega Genesis tune!😄🤩😎👌

[@MasterSkadu]

Oh! You update it and it's a bop. Great job remixing it.

[@Ninjacat25]

This is incredible. Absolutely beautiful work, dude. You truly are an FM synth master.

[@SuperSMZ]

istg my sonic brainrot thought the opening melody was starlight zone for like 2 seconds before remembering you're allowed to make other kinds of music

[@turntablethomas2584]

to where no Streets have been filled with Rage

[@freq-mod3269]

simply amazing

[@MicronOnline]

Im glad you changed the tittle to something more professional sounding 😅lol

[@johntayjinf]

the lack of professionalism gives my tracks flavor lol /lh /s

[@zac9181]

Guys! He finally found out how to make good titles!

[@InkyEzrox]

I love how you revisited Waffle House! Nice work as always.

[@kociemleko1]

The calm before the storm.

[@mightywaranvil2912]

This reminds me of the stats screen from Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3, Yu Yu Hakusho's Smile Bomb, and some Streets of Rage music rolled into one. Sweet!

[@noonethatspecial]

This is it. This is my favorite track you've done so far.

[@arvetice2720]

an absolute bop

[@stronk-rebEl1]

Ok... You got yourself another sub right here, Ranger X, and Sky temple sounded rlly good, and so does this!

[@nanokostudios8302]

This slaps god damn. You’re becoming one of my favorite composers producing honest chip tune music.

[@ZanaGBYT]

So i got to say, on the other video you did with battle garegga instruments, you mentioned how to get the FM patches for the tracks. But have you ever touched upon how to extract the PCM samples? I don't do covers all that often, but when i do i'm not usually in the mood to hunt whatever drum machines were used for certain games ( tho that has helped me amass a sizable sample set )
And as always, congrats on releasing yet another banger!

[@johntayjinf]

i just record them myself with foobar2000. usually compressed though, certainly fine for some cases, but people who have more hands-on experience opt for ripping samples straight from the game rom

[@ZanaGBYT]

@@johntayjinf Sometimes the ovbious path is the most effective one!

[@Kamikaze_Strile]

What a beautiful and sad tune...

[@ProjectXv2]

Waffle House: “My death was…greatly exaggerated.”

[@SkyanUltra]

on the topic of albums, i would love to see a full original album by you. your stuff is really great and i'd love to see you give a good shot it!

[@WhatTheFuckIsAHandle]

The artwork goes so well with the music, instant nostalgia for a game that never existed.

[@RawrX32009]

I say "I identify as an attack helicopter", but i'm not a transphobe, I just like attack helicopters

AAAAAAAAAAAA

HOLY MOLY THIS IS GOOD. In other news, that cover art reminds me of Porco Rosso

[@regulardog495]

This is some Streets of Rage type of shit.

[@LondenTower]

This tune really shows that good FM patches, composing and PCM samples can make an absolute banger.
If Titan overdrive 2 uses PCM to lead the music, this tune does the exact opposite. It adds to the music, if that makes sense.

[@pisfool3860]

Reminds me of Battle Garegga's soundtracks, nice.

[@2004DMP]

nice setsumaru psg arp at the start

[@valen_jopia]

sos grande amigo

[@waffles245]

1:10 THE LICK IT'S THE LICK
THIS IS SO GOOD

[@groetaer]

im recognizing a melody pattern, like this sounds like ''decap attack - stage 1 (tek demo ver)'' and ''gay nerds fighting at wafflehouse'' and im totally sure this is on purpose, amazing

[@Niemann03]

Pretty piece!!

[@ItsRetroPlanet]

Oh my god, this was the music I was looking for!
Would you be against me using this for videos? I'd obviously credit you and such!

[@funny_guy_haha]

waffle house 🤨

[@chamberkingston7609]

Didn't know waffle house had locations in the air

[@raisotope]

Sonic OVA vibes

[@luigisilver818_7]

Awesome, anyone know anything like this, or what it was inspired by?

[@johntayjinf]

i mentioned this in the video, but the general inspiration for this is battle garegga's "degeneracy", composed by manabu namiki. the arrangement style was leaning more towards the rev. 2016 arrangement ua-cam.com/video/KoXxDANAaBg/v-deo.html

[@luigisilver818_7]

Thanks!@@johntayjinf

[@AverageBurgerboy]

I'd recognize that waffle house melody anywhere.
