Game Music Prayer I, known simply as Game Music Prayer, is a 2013 limited-edition music compilation album featuring various Japanese video game musicians. It was released to raise funds for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

Later Game Music Prayer albums were released in 2014, 2015, and 2019. Each of the albums raised money for different charities.

On November 7, 2013, Typhoon Haiyan, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Yolanda, hit the country. It was one of the most powerful tropical cyclones ever recorded and caused mass fatalities and damage in the Visayas region.

In response to the typhoon, various video game musicians in Japan organized a project to create a music album to raise money for charity. The album, entitled "Game Music Prayer", was created by artists such as Hiroki Kikuta (Secret of Mana, Legend of Mana) and Motoi Sakuraba ("Tales" series, Valkyrie Profile), and was sold for ￥1.500.

The album was sold at the Japanese event "Comic Market C85" on December 31, 2013, and at the "Tokyo Game Music Show" on February 22, 2014. It sold a total of 299 discs and raised US$4,500, all of which were donated to the Japanese Red Cross Society to benefit the victims of Typhoon Haiyan.^[1]

The album mastering was done by Hiroyoshi Katou (Noisy Croak).
