If anyone here knows Japanese, can anyone please tell me what this is? Looks like a soundtrack for shmup games...

It looks to me like the "Virtual Video Games Soundtrack Series" is a series of concept albums designed as "soundtracks" for games that don't actually exist. "Galaxy Voyager" in this case seems like a made-up horizontal shooter in the vein of Gradius or something like that. In other words, this is an album featuring famous shmup composers made in the style of a shmup soundtrack.

Looks like a spaceshit sim to me

This has a hell of a lineup, album of the year candidate imo.

That's sorta funny, I was just going off of the fact that the article says "horizontally-scrolling" (横スクロール型シューティングゲーム). I guess it doesn't actually matter, though.

That spacesim gif looks exactly like Wings of Saint Nazaire

Wonder whether they used those gifs with permission from the original dev, although the development's pretty much dead since 2014.

I also see the Death Star from Return of the Jedi...

I got the feeling that this is just a soundtrack album for a mock-up game and not a real game. Would be cool if it was, though...

I knew it was a soundtrack album. But the game being fake and all...
