ATARASHII GAKKO! is quite a unique girl group. They wear school uniforms instead of stylish clothing, their choreography is unique and abrasive, and they are dedicated to world conquest. Today, they're one step closer to taking over the world with "The Edge!," their brand new hyper-pop track that is acting as the soundtrack to Crunchyroll's new seasonal trailer.

A huge part of that authenticity comes from the soundtrack composed by jazz fusion chiptune artist PROTODOME. We had the opportunity to talk with PROTODOME about his work on the game as well as his love for video game music, his double-life as an academic researcher, and his advice for people who want to break into the chiptune scene!
