[00:03:16] lovely coastal view, you'll realize that it's summer here every day, and the weather is always perfect. These ideal conditions are perfect for maxing and relaxing, all cool in our best swimwear, sunglasses, and with the fine cocktail in hand.

[00:03:30] Now, for this episode, I've put the final touches on another perfectly curated playlist of video game music to accompany a sunny and breezy beach day by the sea. Because honestly, we wouldn't love that.

[00:03:42] All kick things off for our little adventure at the local cantina to grab a drink, then hop in our convertible and cruise down to the beach for some sunshine and a picnic. Picture, Seagulls overhead, beach volleyball game in the distance, and the simple joys of

[00:03:55] life all around us. After soaking in those beach vibes, we're going to run a boat ahead to the island that's just offshore. As we sail across the sparkling blue waters, we'll feel the warm breeze and the gentle sway of the boat on our journey towards those invited beaches.

[00:04:10] Next we arrive, we'll dock and set off on a scenic hike, exploring hidden trails on a path to our own little slice of private paradise. Finally, we'll stumble upon our favorite island bar.

[00:04:21] You know the one where the bartender knows just how to mix the perfect cocktail with those tiny little umbrellas. There, we'll relax on the patio and watch the sunset paint the sky with vibrant cues of orange pinks and reds.

[00:04:33] As the day turns tonight, this playlist continues to set the mood, creating an unforgettable soundtrack to our beach adventure. As you can probably already tell, from the song that we started to show with, from Dead

[00:04:43] or Live Extreme Venus vacation, composed by Hero Aki Takishi called Baby Dry Your Eyes. I think you're going to love the tunes that I've got picked out for us. We've got music from Super Adventure Island too, Breath of Fire 3, Legend of Dry Goon,

[00:04:56] Windwaker, Space Channel 5, and I've got 18 additional tunes of jam too while we're out enjoying our day away. It's time to grab that sunscreen, put on our shades and get ready to jam to the very best video music that captures that slice of summer.

[00:05:10] Alright, enjoy the tunes and I'll be back after that.
