PR: Mega Ran Gets Mighty No. 9 Promotion and Music Video for New Album
“This is a dream come true,” comments Ran. “I’ve been working hard to land a videogame placement, and for this one to be the one, with a game and creator that I’m so close to, so inspired by, this is such a storybook tale. I’m really fortunate and I hope this is the first of many.”
While fans wait for RNDM and the Mighty No. 9 soundtrack to drop, Mega Ran has released a music video for his catchy parody track, “Your Favorite Song,” which prominently features his modded Famicom console in action as Ran raps about writing the one-hit-wonder to rule them all. The smooth musical backing by Tunesmith is accented with 8-bit sound programming and at one point, Ran even makes use of the Famicom controller’s microphone to sing the enduring chorus section.
“Your Favorite Song” Music Video on YouTube
“I’ve been using the Famicom in live shows since 2014 and looking to showcase it more in video and production, and I felt a song like this was the perfect time,” notes Ran. “The RNDM album represents a growth from Random to Mega Ran, and along the way, realizing the beauty in simplicity, that’s what I wanted the first set of visuals to convey. Wait ’til you guys hear the rest.”
Catch Mega Ran this weekend at San Diego Comic Con where he will be performing as a part of the festivities with Nerdist Industries on Friday, July 10 at 8pm.
