For the longest time I thought the vocals in this remix were Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, but I was wrong. It's still some hot shit.

>>2660575
Which is odd because he doesn't seem to be credited anywhere on the album. I want to assume the singer "yasu" is doing his best Mitsuyoshi impression

>>2660575
>>2660596
He is credited under the pseudonym Yasu for some weird reason on the album but that is 100% is voice. There is absolutely nobody else it could be.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

YOURSELF

YOURSEEEEEEEEEELF

STRANGE ISNT IT

>>2660610
That's definitely his croon. Cool remix anyhow.

Also, We Are Burning Rangers has the best Engrish rap lyrics.

EXCALIBAR!!
ITS NOT THAT FAR....

>>2660575
Never heard this! Amazing!

These old vocalized sega songs are great. I actually even like the Sonic R soundtrack.

>I actually even like the Sonic R soundtrack.
There people that dislike Sonic R's music? Point me towards their direction

>>2660837
I like the soundtrack, but jesus for a Sonic game does it sound awkward. They're definitely good songs though.

>>2660819
I always thought the opening of Daytona USA sounded like they were saying "Gay Boner!!!!" Rather than Daytona.

Now you will too. Forever. Can't unhear.

Thanks Anon

>>2660878

Nah, it's no way 'boner'. Now it's 'Gaytona'.

>>2660878
Oh god damn it, that's pretty funny.

Gotta love engrish arcade music. Even voice acting is charming when it sounds like the speaker barely knows what he's trying to say.

The soundtrack to this is so freaking happy it always puts a smile on my face, it's cheesy but in a good way.

What are some of the Dreans Come True songs that are related to Sonic?
I actually have one of the albums and one of the songs sounds a lot like starlight zone.

>>2660992
Have a look.

>>2661001
Ah I should have known to check sonic retro. Thank you.

>>2660992

Most of the early DCT works sound like Sonic music.

Songs like Eyes to me or Go for it sound a lot like many of the Sonic tracks, can't put exactly which ones, but you can hear the overall sound is pretty much from the same composer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOorowTP6bI

>>2661006
Nice, I can see the resemblance. It even sounds a bit like the Sonic Jam era even though the composer wasn't from Dreams Come True.

>>2661008

Masato Nakamura pretty much stablished how Sonic music should sound.
Every other composer that worked on Sonic, including MJ followed the overall music direction of Nakamura, but I still like his soundtracks (1 and 2) the most.

>>2660616
Best Sonic girl.

>>2660978
Best line from any sonic song

Fun fact: The lyrics in the arcade version are actually synthesized instead of being voice recordings. That's why there's a weird stutter effect on held notes in the arcade version ("DAY-TO-NA-A-A-A-A-A-A" and "ROLL-ING STA-A-A-A-A-A-ART") and not in the home versions.

Why is Japanese Jazz-Fusion so good?

Casiopea and T-Square

>>2661001

There's way way more than that.

Those are direct comparisons but other sections, riffs and basslines turn up slightly in other songs.

The best one is the final boss in Sonic 2 and Labyrinth Zone.

>>2662916
Similar instrumentation and it sounds like the same key but it's tenuous for the most part.

The tempo and time signature are all totally different.

A lot of the Dreams Come True stuff from the early 90s is all over those first two Sonic games. Every track has something from somewhere. It's not really an uncommon thing for composers. I've done some work on game music before and re-purposed old tracks for a different use in a new format. It's interesting what you find.

Even CD, 2MSGG, Drift and 3 and Knuckles is full of it. The Stranger in Moscow credits in Sonic 3 is definitive proof for Michael Jackson's work in 3 above all else.

>>2662916
>>2662932

Yeah I can hear the resemblance too, but it's not quite the same. Anyway, it's the same with "Marry Me?", the chord progression is Green Hill Zone but it's way slower.
As you say you'll hear a lot of elements from Sonic music in early 90s DCT.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsH8SstgkLc

>>2662953
The Green Hill one is definitely there. It's just the instrumentation and tempo which throw it off. If you listen to them both together, you can definitely hear it.

The main bassline in Kessen wa Kinyoubi is definitely related to the chorus section in Labyrinth though. Without a doubt.

It's not even generally my type of music but fucking hell Dreams Come True's brand of uptempo 90s disco synth pop is fucking good. So much going on.

>>2662678
I noticed that, actually! I had downloaded Segacon vol. 1+2 and listened to "sky high"; I was surprised to find it sounded totally different (I thought it was "let's go together, it's actually let's _all_ go together. They removed a word from the live version for no reason whatsoever!).

Here's a comparison

"I wanna fly sky high!

What, did you not know? They were specifically chosen to make the music for the game.

>>2662972
Of course we know, that's why were even talking about it.

>>2662982
Sorry, I was thrown off by the "sounds like" and "tenuous" comparisons when it was literally them that composed it; especially the "not uncommon for composers" shortly followed by "re-purposed old music".

Surely you can see my confusion, no?
The composer, Masato Nakamura, started and is still a part of Dreams Come True? Wrote literally every song in 1+2?

Y'all certainly didn't make it sound that way...

>>2662995
No, it was the comparison to the Special Zone track. That was tenuous at best. It's not as bang on as other tracks are. That's all we were talking about. It's not the same song, just has similar instrumentation. I think you've totally got the wrong end of the stick here buddy.

Of course he wrote all that stuff but that particular post was a tenuous comparison. I did also say that the Green Hill, Labyrinth and Death Egg robot tracks in particular are definitely DCT tracks and that there's fucking loads of Sonic stuff on the DCT albums from the early 90s. That -might- just imply that I know that the same guy wrote it.

>>2662995

I was saying how most of the early DCT song sound a lot like Sonic music, even if they are not the exact same songs note by note, and yes we mentioned Masato Nakamura who is the bassist and main composer of DCT

>>2663003
At least we got it, buddy.

Hard Times.

Related but I'm amazed with how much they still find hidden in and about the S3&K soundtrack.

How's your first day going?

>>2663298

I like the retro Sonic games but it's not really near being my favorite franchise.
Anyway, the internet produced these kind of personalities, not Sonic or video games, although I guess everything is connected somehow.
You could also say the USA produced Chris-chan.
