What is the “Mitsuda Lick” and why is it significant when its included in video game music?

257 viewsOther

I’ve heard this term a few times now and from what I understand, Yasunori Mitsuda composed music for Chrono Trigger and the “Mitusuda Lick” seems to be a pattern of notes that gets included in music by other video game composers. I guess what I don’t quite understand is why this specific pattern is so cool and why its named after Yasunori Mitsuda specifically?

Maybe a dumb question but also how do different composers decide when to include this pattern? Is there a way this pattern of notes can be used…wrong/inappropriately…? I know next to nothing about music btw

There are fun bits of comrodary in the industry.  It was composed; other game designers liked it and included it in their games/songs

Pop culture is filled with “nods” or respectful moments to the people who came before
