BGMania B-Sides #39 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth takes flight into Air Twister, Yu Suzuki’s kaleidoscopic rail shooter that blends arcade intensity with surreal fantasy, sending players soaring through pastel skies and dreamlike landscapes at breakneck speed.

Driven by Valensia’s operatic, symphonic rock score, Air Twister’s soundtrack feels grand, theatrical, and unashamedly dramatic. Sweeping strings, choral flourishes, and pulsing rhythms collide in a way that’s both elegant and overwhelming, creating a musical experience that’s constantly in motion, like riding a gust of wind through a vivid, ever-shifting dream where beauty and chaos exist in perfect balance.
