Had to reupload this with a shorter part of Scars Of Time in ordet to avoid an ID match. I also replaced Boss Battle 1 with Singing Mountain. It sucks that I no longer have his birthday as the upload date, but there's nothing to do about that now.

Yes, the man himself turns 40 today, January 21st 2012, so I made a little tribute. This video contains his 40 best compositions from the Chrono, in my opinion. 40 tunes in one video is a little overkill, but I wanted it to be one video, and I wanted it to have a reasonable length. All the songs are already on Youtube anyway, so just do a quick search if you want to hear the full versions. I only included the Chrono games because I haven't played any other games with a Mitsuda soundtrack. I'll make sure to familiarize myself with all his works by the time he turns 50.

Making a list is never easy when everything holds such a high level of quality. I decided to choose 20 tunes from each game, but then I had to put them in a specific order. That's not an easy task. What I did was split everything into four groups and worked out an order from there, but apart from the top 5, you can say any following group of five tunes are tied. It's really that close.

If you disagree with the list in any way, feel free to insult me and my mother in badly written English without punctuations. You can also post your own top 10 list in the comments section or simply say what you would have done differently. Keep in mind that just because a tune isn't on the list, doesn't mean I hate it. Pretty much everything from these soundtracks is great, so 40th place is by no means bad.
