Almost 4 years old - only 148k views? One of the most underrated creations on RUclips. I think RUclips needs to repost this as a trending video. I've been making a point to re-watch this series once a year.
More depressing is that it's been here a decade and still on 220K :/ This is legit one of the best documentary series on videogames that I ever saw, and I've been watching videogame videos since Bad Influence. Such a shame it never got the reach it deserved.
I'm really glad this was made. there are so many great composers that will never get their rise to fame, but are remembered fondly for introducing us to so many memorable melodies. I can bet that there are more people who know the Mario theme than there are people who know Beethoven 5th
Thankyou so much for this series RBM! These guys formed my life as a musician, and its incredible to finally see the faces behind the names and the tech they struggled with. Fascinating.
Red Bull Music Academy We need a Digging in the Carts Pt. 2 please. This was such an awesome series. At least put this on a physical format. Would love to have it.
for some reason this is like the beginning of electronic music as we all know it as in having a Nes with a 2A03 chip in your very own home or having an arcade with a sound chip in itself in many ways this is the beginning of electronic music for all of us
the first time I watched this I was really just fascinated and ever since then after learning more about synth and keyboards and samplers and electronic music in general I'm starting to understand more it really is its own culture and language in an of itself
I loved this. Who knew Red Bull would turn out to be such a big supporter of music. My only criticism - where's Koji Kondo (Super Mario Bros, Zelda, Star Fox)? Even if you weren't able to get him for an interview, he's pretty important.
This is awesome. Thanks to the Back In My Play and 8-4 Play guys for bringing this to my attention. One day this video will get over a million views that it deserves.
This is very interesting, great video. Just wish they listed what games the songs they played were from. I love finding new games, especially if they have awesome music.
Spanish subtitles require time correction from "Mi nombre es Hirokazu Tanaka. " onwards, this line is starting in 10:34 but should start on 10:24 instead, my guess is the times of the following lines should be the same in the Spanish transcription as in the English one.
Technically, Japan's biggest musical export to the world are electronic musical instruments, e.g. Roland drum machines like the TR-808 and TR-909, synthesizers like the Yamaha DX7 and Roland TB-303, turntables like the Panasonic Technics, etc. But in terms of actual musical compositions, I think it's safe to say that video game music are indeed Japan's biggest musical export.
I asked it to my game-nerd friend, who is very familiar with early NES era music, but even he does not know it. He guessed it that Nintendo did not allow to use their (and Tanaka's) music in this film, so Tanaka (he's already left Nintendo) made another music for this which sounds like early NES music.
If anyone is looking for the intro theme this you can find it on sound cloud. soundcloud.com/daisuketanabe They have it incorrectly titled as Tappy on the credits.
Did you ever happen to find out? I know the intro has a different version for each episode, but they're all really good and I'd very much like a name or atleast artist.
so it's actually from this Japanese VGM composer called TAPPY. We couldn't clear any of Tanaka's music from Nintendo so we got TAPPY to compose for us in a vintage Tanaka-style

This channel has so many hidden gems
Trending is a virus!

Thanks a lot for this!
I just wish I could find Tappy songs anywhere in the web
10:08 reminds me of the Gyromite tracks
Wow this is fantastic! Thanks for the introduction
I'm really glad this was made. there are so many great composers that will never get their rise to fame, but are remembered fondly for introducing us to so many memorable melodies.
I can bet that there are more people who know the Mario theme than there are people who know Beethoven 5th
Thankyou so much for this series RBM! These guys formed my life as a musician, and its incredible to finally see the faces behind the names and the tech they struggled with.
Fascinating.
This series is terrific! Great interviews, great video, great memories.... and great music!
Red Bull Music Academy We need a Digging in the Carts Pt. 2 please.
This was such an awesome series. At least put this on a physical format. Would love to have it.
And there is:
ruclips.net/p/PLtbJmr1Wtatc_k8o8tIgt3A5bvbFoutBG
The entire series "digging in the cards" has 6 episodes. Follow in the playlist above.
The music that made the most of my childhood, and still makes the most of me today..
I want to thank you so much for this documentary! You've given me so much to talk about in my uni research paper this year :3
Waveforms are so cool.
I’d pay anything for a synth with the original Namco waves in them.
They sound so nice.
Hirokazu Tanaka along with Keiichi Suzuki composed the soundtrack of my favorite Nintendo series, Mother / Earthbound.
They were genious back then.
for some reason
this is like the beginning of electronic music as we all know it
as in having a Nes with a 2A03 chip in your very own home
or having an arcade with a sound chip in itself
in many ways this is the beginning of electronic music for all of us
This is SUPERB 😎
the first time I watched this I was really just fascinated
and ever since then after learning more about synth and keyboards and samplers
and electronic music in general
I'm starting to understand more
it really is its own culture and language in an of itself
I loved this, please do more Diggin' in the Carts!
one of the best gaming documentaries, ever.
J Rocc's record collection is next level
Amazing series! Loved the first episode and can't wait for the second one later today. Thanks for this great project, RBMA :)
I watched this years ago on vimeo I believe. Did not know Red Bull made it. Energy drinks are so random LOL!
This. Is. Awesome. I wish each episode were an hour.
I got chills.
Need another Diggin in the carts series.
I loved this. Who knew Red Bull would turn out to be such a big supporter of music. My only criticism - where's Koji Kondo (Super Mario Bros, Zelda, Star Fox)? Even if you weren't able to get him for an interview, he's pretty important.
They also didn't get Taki Tekashi composer of Mega Man 2 or even Masato Nakuramura Sonic 1 and 2 composer.
Does anyone know the 10:08 game and track name PLEASE?
This sounds original one...
Legally distinct sound-alike to Wrecking Crew.
Tanaka-esque Style Melody by Tappy (like Wrecking Crew - Golden Hammer)
Thanks Nick for the Music Tip and link to this
Brilliantly made documentary on a niche subject. Cheers!
This is a pretty cool documentary. I think I'll continue on to the next part...
This is awesome. Thanks to the Back In My Play and 8-4 Play guys for bringing this to my attention. One day this video will get over a million views that it deserves.
Trainer Tips sent me here, let's goooooo!
Cool little documentary series. Strange I didn't know about this until now.
あのNESカセットのクッションいいな。
Does anyone know the song at 12:54 please?
All the tracks used in this are on the Diggin' In the Carts soundcloud! Took me 2 years to realise lmao
Tanaka-esque Style Melody by Tappy (like Super Mario Land - Chai Kingdom)
Very nice doc. Loved seeing the waveform notebook!
incrediburu documentary. it had me crying all morning. beautiful
8:08 Man, I love hearing 8+6 in music!
This is very interesting, great video.
Just wish they listed what games the songs they played were from. I love finding new games, especially if they have awesome music.
PLEAAAAASE TALK ABOUT THE MASTERPIECES THAT ARE ALL OF THE CASTLEVANIA GAMES I'M BEGGING YOU PLEASE I LOVED THIS MOAAAR
check episode 2 !
Nick Dwyer Wow! Here comes THE producer of this series! Thanks, thanks to your dedication to this masterpiece series!
supertakot thanks for watching dude :D
i think the best castlevania ones is in catslevania 4 but sinking sanctuary is also epic.
Ohh Havoc cleaning a NES cartridge wrong, and that J Rocc remix of Pacman was too dope!
Whats the track at 12:53? Definitely a Gameboy track but not sure what it's from
I've been trying to figure it out too!
lionheart1827 would also like to know :3
Duran Duran - Sandstorm
It is a legally distinct sound-alike to the China stage from Super Mario Land. The same was done earlier in the video with a Wrecking Crew-like track.
Tanaka-esque Style Melody by Tappy (like Super Mario Land - Chai Kingdom)
thx for showing my childhood heroes :D
Why are subtitles are not available on mobile?
Spanish subtitles require time correction from "Mi nombre es Hirokazu Tanaka. " onwards, this line is starting in 10:34 but should start on 10:24 instead, my guess is the times of the following lines should be the same in the Spanish transcription as in the English one.
This is awesome.
Japan is a nation-- (internet died)
And now I know what a Japan is.
Internet came back, I'll watch the rest now.
Technically, Japan's biggest musical export to the world are electronic musical instruments, e.g. Roland drum machines like the TR-808 and TR-909, synthesizers like the Yamaha DX7 and Roland TB-303, turntables like the Panasonic Technics, etc. But in terms of actual musical compositions, I think it's safe to say that video game music are indeed Japan's biggest musical export.

Those waveform charts should be a Japanese national treasure.
Really cool but ...ähhm... my japan is a bit rusty. Is there a chance to get some undertitels or something?
Beatpresse Berlin Press on CC near the bottom right

Thank you for the subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese.
Link at "CLICK to watch episode TWO: @t" broken.
Great Documentary! S/O Hip Tanaka
12:54 what is that song from, its sick
I asked it to my game-nerd friend, who is very familiar with early NES era music, but even he does not know it.
He guessed it that Nintendo did not allow to use their (and Tanaka's) music in this film, so Tanaka (he's already left Nintendo) made another music for this which sounds like early NES music.
supertakot you nailed it
Tanaka-esque Style Melody by Tappy (like Super Mario Land - Chai Kingdom)
Reggae is Life!!
小沢さんがインタビュー受けている所ってもしかして，いま解体中の東京都品川区の「バンダイナムコ未来研究所」ビル・・・？
great :)
10:08 track id anyone?
Love this documentary btw
Tanaka-esque Style Melody by Tappy (like Wrecking Crew - Golden Hammer)
Nice, wasn't expecting a Public Image Limited namedrop from an aging electrical engineer.
If you are refering to Hip Tanka, he actually made a a longer interview on here too, seek it out. Very humble man.
This so amazing
what's the song at 12:45 ??
Tanaka-esque Style Melody by Tappy (like Super Mario Land - Chai Kingdom)
I realize he's probably hard to find, but maybe a documentary on Tim Follin?
track ID?? 10:41??? thanks??
Tanaka-esque Style Melody by Tappy
If anyone is looking for the intro theme this you can find it on sound cloud. soundcloud.com/daisuketanabe They have it incorrectly titled as Tappy on the credits.
:) Epic episodes... !!!
Oh never mind, option wasn't available in full screen.
Thank you pour les sous-titre fr
anyone ave access to the private episodes? episode 3 and 5 are marked as private and unviewable... Thank you
If only they listed all the tracks in this video.
junko osawa kawaii!!! xD
Does anyone know the song at 11:21 and 12:28 please?
see above!!!
Both Tanaka-esque Style Melody by Tappy
I can't believe they acknowledged Gimmick!
Who's the guy at 3:40?
at 9:28 what city are they in? it looks so cool....is it in japan?
2cool0 Not enough elements to determine where it is, but I assume it's in Akihabara, Tokyo.
supertakot yeah it looked like somewhere in japan
This is unreal!!
why are there no english subtitles?
Can somebody tell what's the name of the song playing in the intro?
Did you ever happen to find out? I know the intro has a different version for each episode, but they're all really good and I'd very much like a name or atleast artist.
it's in the video description.
What's the end credits music?
spotify playlist ??
does anyone know the name of the intro song?
"No, it was fun." haha.
& what is that location with Junko Ozawa? I love that tropical hotel look.
that was the old lobby of Bandai Namco
@@Nickbpm ok, cool, thank you.
What jacket is Hip Tanaka wearing? It's sooper dope!
+Super Ultra Thanks Mom maybe Marmot.
As far as game music, I love Phantasy Star Universe Online (Dreamcast) music and Street Fighter: Third Strike Soundtrack
Anyone know what the last two tracks are? Sounds like Super Mario Land...
see comment above!!! all the tracks from the Tanaka interview are composed by TAPPY
What’s the song at 12:54
so it's actually from this Japanese VGM composer called TAPPY. We couldn't clear any of Tanaka's music from Nintendo so we got TAPPY to compose for us in a vintage Tanaka-style
Got here from Trainer Tips.
Superbe !
I know that ChipTanaka is a maestro of the video game music industry. But they should have featured Koji Kondo as well.
tried our best to but Nintendo weren't having a part of that !!!
@@Nickbpm It's really too bad... your team made an excellent documentary
@@masakokubo did you ever hear the radio series that we also created?? there's a Koji Kondo special on there!!!
@@Nickbpm May I ask what the name of the radio series was? I would like to check it out. Also, thank you for part in this fantastic series.
@ the radio series is called Diggin in the carts also. Just search that an mixcloud and you will find them all!
Why doesn’t this have subtitles?
it does!
maths + music + lot of hard work = 8bit music
wish this was subtitled
