Michael Gluck (or Piano Squall) is releasing an album to raise funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. As many of you may now, multiple sclerosis is an extremely debilitating disease that currently has no known cure. However, the Game & Anime Music Emotions (G.A.M.E.) album hopes to support efforts to find a cure while delivering performances of some of your favorite video game and anime music for a price of $9.99. I personally think this is a small price to pay for such a good cause.
