You know the best part? The original game had the music, but didn't use it o_O. I found it too amazing to not include it as the main theme, however, for as hard as I tried, I could not find where the music came from...
The music itself reminds a lot of Hdoom music if anyone did play that game like me. The guitar riff and the synthesized piano remind me of Hdoom music. I dug around the internet and couldn't actually find anything based on the music, is it possibly lost media? Or could be something ripped from a song without the vocals? I am really curious about the origins of this song.

- Artist Name = (C)½²(TAM)
- Album Title = COOL

This is the info I used to try and find the source in the past, but no luck :confused:.

Right, my bad, I confused how it works and turned out it's fine. Anyway is there any plans for 1.35, maybe this year or you guys need to rest?
We're taking a break mostly, albeit we're putting some work on version 1.35. We've decreased the scope slightly and moved stuff to 1.40 in the hopes we could still make a cool improvement to the pregnancy this year, however no promises :censored:.

there is a mis decoding from shift JIS into western coding, i am assuming since the game is quite old and originally Japanese maybe that's why there is an encoding error.
My digging around, i found the game is using a KiriKiri engine so it uses XP3. I also assuming you merged everything with the .exe so I have to decode it from my end from Shift-JIS.
the artist name is sort of a corrupted data since it is originally in Japanese so the Japanese characters are needed,.
My digging around did find TAM music but no traces of the song itself, but TAM did get involved in making doujin stuff.

I tried 3 different AI tools and played the Song for them. They didnt know the song. One suggested songs that sounded nothing like the original :WaitWhat:

i think it is either lost media or the original creator of Mushi no Kangoku cooked up the song themself, but I think there is an original somewhere, there has to be.
Edit: since there is an album title as well, more songs in the game should either be the same or it is completely random. I do think COOL might be leading to something.

Found it o_O!

So the "shift-jis" encoding was a really good tip. I've created a very small script in python where I extracted the artist name and attempted to recode the bytes in different encodings. After some fiddling around I got something with "cp932", which is shif-jis basically, and it gave the wrong name because the artist name was already broken beyond repair, but kept the (TAM) after it.

I then searched for the resulting name in a meta search engine with the name of the album as well (COOL) and lo and behold: .

Best of this is finding that the music is free to use :D, so we can keep it on! Also found a bunch more great music on their site as well.
