Rockman, Romancing SaGa, Star Fox—. Four legendary composers and creators who have produced many of Japan's world-renowned game music pieces stood on a live stage for the first time at an average age of 58.
On May 15, 2026, the 1st live of "Musou Infinity" titled "Level 01: The Beginning" was held at Yogibo META VALLEY in Osaka, delivering a breathtaking performance to an audience of approximately 200 fans.
A collaboration with the up-and-coming artist Mumeixxx, who boasts 7 million total followers on SNS, made it a night that proved the power of music transcending generations.
Why was this challenge necessary now?
The Japanese game industry established its global status through masterpieces born during the "golden age" of the 1980s and 90s. The composers who handled that music are now reaching their 60s.
However, many have stepped away from the spotlight, facing the risk of their musical talents fading without being passed on to the new generation. "Musou Infinity" is a project that confronts this issue head-on.
Harumi Fujita (Okan P, leader), Kenji Ito, Takaya Imamura, and Koichi Morita gathered together.
Under the ideology of "making no excuses about age," a new challenge has begun to deliver the cultural legacy of game music to the next generation.
In Japan's aging society, there is significant meaning in seasoned creators stepping into their first new challenge.
According to a Cabinet Office survey, while many middle-aged and older people feel they "want to try something new," there are very few opportunities to actually see someone take that first step.
Average age: 58.
The night these four individuals, who have built track records in their respective fields for many years, deliberately stood on a stage of challenge, proved not to be the endpoint of their careers, but a new beginning.
On-Site Report of Enthusiasm
A Historic Moment Witnessed by 200 People
With TV coverage on the day of the live performance, this 1st live had gathered attention even before it began.
The roughly 200 fans gathered at Yogibo META VALLEY in Osaka sensed a unique atmosphere blending anticipation and tension in the venue before the performance started.
At this live, in addition to legendary songs handled by each member such as "Rockman 3," "Seven Heroes Battle," and "Shining Star," completely new songs as Musou Infinity were also performed.
Furthermore, through the collaboration with Mumeixxx, an artist representing Generation Z, it became a symbolic stage where 90s game music and modern internet culture intersected.
Leader Harumi Fujita's MC relaxed the audience while completely dominating the venue with full force where excitement was needed. The control of "pause" and passion, unique to veterans, created an authentic space that can only be born through accumulated experience.
The song "STAY ALIVE," performed toward the end of the live, embedded Musou Infinity's strong will to continue believing in the music that only humans can play, even in the modern era where AI is rapidly emerging.
Not mere nostalgia, but a declaration of determination: "Humans will continue to create."
Perhaps that was the essence of this live performance.

"It was a highly stimulating and ultimate Osaka experience, and even now, a night later, I am hanging out my laundry in a daze, wondering if that was really reality. Please definitely do a live in Tokyo too!!" — 2YouFulca
"I received courage from Mr. Imamura's guitar, and my spirit for challenges is stirred up." — Daisuke

"Those were the good old days."
To not let it end just as such a memory—.
Musou Infinity's challenge is not only about connecting Japan's fading game culture to the next generation, but perhaps it is the very message itself: "You can take on challenges at any age."
Average age: 58.
Even so, they have just stood on their "beginning stage."
