Photos of all the Breath of Fire artwork exhibited at The Great Capcom Exhibition in Tokyo

Dai Capcom Ten, aka “The Great Capcom Exhibition”, has been traveling around Japan showcasing Capcom’s games and artwork, including those from the Breath of Fire series.

Dragnier reported on the initial exhibit in Osaka last year, and it has since opened and closed its doors in Nagoya and Tottori, as well. On December 20, 2025, the Tokyo venue opened, and we now have photos of all the glorious Breath of Fire artwork and items shown off there, thanks to a fellow Breath of Fire fan Zachary Essey, who reached out to me via the Breath of Fire Fans social media page!

The breath of fire within Breath of Fire – Appreciate a Dragon Day 2026

|

In celebration of “Appreciate A Dragon Day” which occurs every January 16th, I’ve put together a fun little video on the first time the player bears witness to an actual “breath of fire” within each Breath of Fire game. Have a watch and let me know in the comments which “breath of fire” from the series is your favorite! And I do mean the actually fiery breath in the game.

Breath of Fire II: Shimei no Ko soundtrack Liner Notes Translation and Music Page

|

Today, I’m pleased to update Dragnier with an English translation of the Breath of Fire II: Shimei no Ko CD soundtrack booklet and liner notes, and a new Breath of Fire II music page!

Breath of Fire II: Shimei no Ko marked the first time Breath of Fire music was released as an official soundtrack. The CD was released via Sony Records in Japan way back on January 21, 1995. The OST contained a selection of 28 tracks from the Super Famicom classic. While it’s not the entire OST (that would get released later with Breath of Fire Original Soundtrack Special Box in 2006), the enclosed booklet contains some pretty neat stuff, including flute/horn/strings/oboe/bass/drums sheet music for “The Whale (La-la-la)”, a story overview, character bios, very brief liner notes by composer Yuko Takehara (then known as Yuko Kadota), and an absolutely wacky, over-the-top “behind the scenes” production story. You’re not quite ready for that last one; it’s a riot.
