Play For Japan Album Features Impressive Tracklist
Play for Japan, which has showcased a number of charitable efforts of individuals and companies in video games, has already raised over $122,727 for Japanese tsunami relief efforts. Now the organization is prepping the release of Play for Japan: The Album, a benefit album that brings together many of the industry's most prestigious composers.
Organized by Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill series, Shadows of the Damned), the album is set to release in early June on the iTunes store. Recently, Play for Japan announced the final tracklist for the album, which is extremely impressive. Have a look for yourself, and remember to buy the album when it goes on sale. All of the proceeds will go directly to Japanese relief efforts.
