Thanks for explaining Lely. There's always google for those who didn't know. 

They will keep airing it twice a month until Konami says stop. And that means i have no idea when it will end.

Nostalgic Music from Konami
I find this episode interesting.

3 songs that you must listen to:

1. Ganbare Goemon 2 ending theme by Michiru Yamane

This was listed on screen: Famous for the Akumajou series. Other works include Datana!!!Twin Bee (AC), Ganbare Goemon 2 (FC), etc. She is also listed as ChiruChiru Yamane, she also uses other names.

Yamane-san is on air via phone
She says that the Goemon 2 ending theme was supposed to be a stage bgm.

Since everyone including the MC associates Yamane with the Akumajou series, the MC asked her to choose a song from the Akumajou series that she likes and can fit in the retro era, she chose one song from Vampire Killer (Castlevania: Bloodlines)- The Prayer of a Tragic Queen (after this was played, they were commenting that this could fit in SotN)
She started here with the Akumajou series. She said it herself on the phone. There, Pfil, that's your answer.

Fujio Sukenomiya and Yamane started working together in the Olympic game.

2. Exciting Billards BGM by Fujio Sukenomiya

They were introducing the bgms that were playing all throughout the show.
As for the Akumajou series, Lost painting was included and so is a tune from Dracula-kun

3. XEXEX's Breeze by Motoaki Furukawa - Leader of Kukeiha Club

Furukawa is on air via phone too.
He also gave another song and he chose Burning Heat from Gradius 2

He also worked with Fujio with Twinbee 3. Furukawa created main song in 3 hours. Fujio adds that that was the fastest composition in KKC.

Some announcements from Konami Style
1. Gradius Ultimate Collection
Konami Shooting Collection

They featured a bgm you can't get anywhere. This is from Vic Viper (AC), a racing game that was cancelled. And this is included in the Shooting Collection.
Furukawa also composed this.

2. Konami games on the Wii U Virtual Console Japan started with Twinbee (FC) and Ganbare Goemon (SFC) [Sept. 4]

Castlevania 4 (SFC) will also be out in Japan on Sept. 11

They had a demo for the Oraca Battle for parents who are watching the show and have no idea how to play that game. This battle demo also featured a new enemy.

It would be cool if they use a CV card in one of these episodes.

[Shiroi Koumori]

I hope so too, along with the appearances of other Konami franchises, like Vic Viper, for instance. But with all the cards that are available, I kinda doubt that it would happen.

FINALLY!!!

The Castlevania Special of Konayuru!

Guests: Anno Haruna cosplaying as Maria from Rondo and Kopa P, a writer from famitsu.

This week's theme is "My favorite Castlevania!"

Wow! That list of Castlevania games with pictures on the paper board is awesome!

The MC was asking which games have the guests cleared. Anno mentioned the games she cleared. Then KopaP, said that since he is one of the ones who made the guidebooks, he most likely cleared everything. He made the CoTM book.

A lot of Twitter commenters say that they liked SotN.

Anno's fave is the first one. She liked the gothic atmosphere, the music, the staff researched on horror movies, the learning curve, etc. She liked the clock tower stage. She is describing the different bosses, etc. Then time's up.

Kopa P's fave is Rondo of Blood. He liked the mania surrounding that title. And if this was not released Sotn would never happen. And Maria is strong and the special ending for Maria. Also the animation that was the rave during that age.

The MC's first CV is SotN. His fave is DoS. He liked the soul collection, magic use, and the Julius mode, especially Alucard. And vacuuming Persepone.
Oooohhh.... He is just like me!

They then played HD. They are telling people to download it.

During the TGS, attendees were able to play the demo of LOS2. They played it also on air to show those who weren't able to attend the TGS. Since I've seen the demo a lot of times, I just skipped it. They said wait for more info regarding this game.

Then they are promoting other Konami products.

Then they listed the bgms used in the show. Were you able to name all the titles of the songs that were playing?

Lastly, they wished that more people get to know the Castlevania series.

------------------
Konayuru Live (a music radio show of Konami) will continue the Castlevania special and will have Michiru Yamane as a guest and the music theme is obviously the "Akumajou Dracula BEST MUSIC COLLECTION BOX" where people can request songs. It airs on Oct 10 at 12:15pm.

I won't be able to listen to this from tomorrow til the weekend, so please wait for my return next week. ~♥

Here's the youtube video for the Konayuru Castlevania Special:
コナミ放送局 第8回 悪魔城ドラキュラを語ろう（2013.10.7放送分）

[Shiroi Koumori]

As promised here's the Konayuru Live Oct 10th episode.

The talk theme is about your travel memories.
The music theme is the Castlevania series.

Guest: Michiru Yamane
She spent 20 years in Konami.
She has not tried playing live until she was invited in a game music show abroad sometime in the 2000s.

They were talking about the "travel memories" theme. I only posted the ones that are related to Michiru Yamane and Castlevania. There were other things that were talked about.

Michiru went to Bali without an itinerary since all of her friends were already working and Konami told her to take a rest after finishing SotN. But she had fun.
She was able to go to Paris with Ayami Kojima but they had trouble with excess baggage.
She was talking about Skull Girls and the Jazz tracks there. She had stress in creating that.

Take note, the Castlevania tracks were used as BGM for their conversation.

And, here's the youtube video:
コナゆる☆ライブ 2013.10.10配信

I suppose the Castlevania topic of Konayuru would end here...
I'll just keep on listening to the main show and will keep posting here even if the topics have nothing to do with Castlevania. 

[Shiroi Koumori]

This week's topic is concerned with PowerPro Special 1.
Since I have no interest in baseball, I did not listen to this.

PowerPro Special will continue next week in the "KonaYuru Cup for PowerPro 2013".
