Yaiyas first question.

Who composed the music to Sonic Shuffle? That stuff is addictive

I did a Google search because I thought I read this somewhere before. Holy shit, it's Yoshitaka Hirota! Apparently he did the Bomberman 64 games too. Neat!

I asked it before the crash and noone answered. :(

OMFG He's the guy that did Bomberman 64. Respect +1

are there any good, reliable sites that review game/anime/film soundtracks? i'd to read what the music is about before i buy/download it.

thanks

Daytona 2
 

Does anyone know who sings the vocals for these songs ?

Skyscraper Sequence
Sling Shot
I Can Do It
Palm Rock Valley

Really be greatful ^-^

Soundtrack Central, Chudah's Corner, and RPGFan are the only ones I can think of at the moment. I've used each of them in the past.

Not to self-advertise, but SquareSound has a large selection of reviews here that is expanding as the site moves towards covering more and more non-mainstream work. They tend to be longer than most reviews, though generally provide a lot of detail about an album.

If mods feel this is inappropriate, please delete it, but I've considered SS to be one of the leading gamed music review sites since its redesign, despite being somewhat more limited in overall coverage.

Like Kaleb, I highly recommend Chudah's Corner, too, my principle game music review source for the somewhat rarer soundtracks.

That post is perfectly fine, Mr. Maul. I just never recalled reading any reviews on SquareSound before, so I didn't think about it.

I'll go ahead and add a small list of review sites in the first post of this thread.

I ran across a copy of "Space Ace" for the Sega CD at the local thrift store, and I was wondering if it has Redbook tracks that might be rippable. I remember that there used to be a list of Redbook discs around GFF, but the crash has scoured it from the earth, yea, as if it never was.

I want to find a way to attract people to this thread so that we can get answers for the questions posted here. SunkistTheHedge and orion_mk3 are still looking for information, but I can't help them. This thread requires that we get people in here to help out. It worked before the crash, so it shouldn't be any different now. I await any responses.

According to http://www.bannister.org/ubb/ultimat...;f=23;t=001004, the English singer of Skyscraper Sequence, Sling Shot, and I Can Do It is Dennis St. James, and the Japanese singer is Takenobu Mitsuyoshi. That page doesn't say anything about the singer of Palm Rock Valley, but I'd assume it'd have the same vocalist.

Google has a cache for the Red Book list, but it's from 2004. :(

mrman1 maintained that list, so you could contact him and see if he saved a copy.

Well, since there are comparable titles on that list, I can assume that "Space Ace" isn't one of them. But that might be a good thread to revive; even the 2004 list is extensive.

Interesting Kaleb G.

I'm getting two separate composers to both Bomberman 64 games .

Bomberman 64 - Akifumi Tada Here and here. It also lists him as the composer if you download the OST.

Bomberman 64: The Second Attack: Yasunori Mitsuda Here

You're right, Synthesis. I'm not sure why SquareSound credits Hirota for those two games. Mr. Maul, are you able to shed some light on this?

I did a pile of research on Yoshitaka Hirota a while ago from the friends section on Mitsuda's web site and Hirota's personal web site with the help of Kago, SquareSound's disappeared translator. Bomberman 64, Bomberman 64: The Second Attack, Faselei, Dive Alert: Becky's Version, Dive Alert: Matt's Version, and Sonic Shuffle all ended up being accredited to his name, when I only thought he did the Shadow Hearts series and SFX originally. SquareSound's interview with him explicitly mentions Bomberman 64 and he talks about it inspiring Shadow Hearts' music. I think this is the only English confirmation of this, but SquareSound's translator did confirm this.

However, somewhere down the line, it's possible there was a misunderstanding and perhaps he didn't work explcitly as a composer in the actual original Bomberman 64, but perhaps as an engineer or SFX creation. I find it odd that Hirota didn't refute the implication that he did, but, then again, it's equally odd he didn't appear alongside Akifumi Tada on the actual album release. I suspect that Mitsuda's involvement in The Second Attack was down to Hirota and that they co-composed here, and also believe Hirota had a musical role in Bomberman 64 itself, likely a composing one, but perhaps something different.

Don't be baffled that SquareSound is the only place with such info, though, as there was no decent source for Hirota info before that research was done. I'll talk to Zanasea about this and see if he can shed light on the situation. If this doesn't work, I'll try to get some Japanese dude to email Hirota direct, who is usually very happy to receive feedback. I think it is quite likely he'll verify SS' information, but it's possible it's wrong, and indeed it is rather odd.

EDIT: OK, with the help of Zanasea, it's been verified that Hirota did co-composer Bomberman 64: The Second Attack, though there was no specific mention of him working on Bomberman 64 itself on Yasunori Mitsuda's friends page (couldn't read the flash Kanji at Hirota's own web site). So, for now, we'll just say he composed for Bomberman 64: The Second Attack, though it is quite possible that Bomberman 64 also involved him. Thanks for bringing this up; it needed clarifying and has been bothering me for some time.

Does Kaleb run and operate the Video Game Music Composers website in the mian post? If he does, can we add Shinobu Tanaka as composing the music for Mario Kart DS?

Link. (this is a Google cache)

Allright. Now I have a question. I'm making a Gamerip of an old classic, "NBA JAM + Tournament Edition" for the Sega Genesis. Problem is, I can't seem to solidify who the composer was for them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I came across a site that suggest a man named Tyler Bacon composed the music for the original NBA JAM Check it


Thanks in advance.

I have a quick question about the 4CD set of Digital Devil Saga. I found the following CD online and it lists an outro theme that is not listed on the track listing to the album linked above. Just wondering if anyone knows why it's not on the set? Or is it, but under a different name? Saw the set listed as being complete somewhere recently... :)

Tomb Raider Legend Soundtrack
 

I want to know :

-Who composer game?
-is there plan to release OST?

I hear music on some clip gameplay,most of them have soft choir,is completely different than previous tomb raider games music.

According to the link below, Troels Folmann...

http://www.cmpevents.com/GD06/a.asp?...&V=3&id=409736

Never heard of him myself! ;)

I figured it's been long enough that I don't have to have my head bitten off.. but is the Best Battle Track comp still in the works?

I'm not sure. Skate attempted to start the "second try" of the battle track contest not long before the crash, but conflicts with Song of the Year put it on hold. Furthermore, since the crash happened, I haven't even heard much from Skate. The only way you'll find out the status is from him direct. But don't bother contacting him. He's a busy man, and as the past has shown, he'll come back here and let us all know when he's ready.

Double Post:
Yes, I do. And you're the first person to request adding anything to it. ;) I'll make that update right away.

I still can't find anything. Any luck with anyone else?

According to this, the TE arcade version's music and sound was by Jon Hey (JWH). Don't know if it's the same as the Genesis version but it's a start. You can compare the music from the mame and genesis roms if you really want to know if they're the same.

Thank you very much. I picked up the MAME versions of both and they sounded simliar. There a slight sound clarity difference but that's probably do to moving the game from the arcade to the Genesis. Thanks again.

Is this really happening or is it just another cruel April 1st gag ? I can't find anything relevant to it.

Hey everyone, I'm wondering where is a good place to buy game music online that has cheap shipping. I usually go with Cdjapan, but there cheapest shipping is 1200 yen, which is pretty expensive and very slow. There fastest is like 2200 yen.

So, am I missing out on something or are there cheaper places to order from?

EDIT:

Seems I have just answered my own question, Cocoebiz seems to be cheaper. Any other places though?

The entry says "delete" now, so I assume it was a gag, whatever it was.

There's Play-Asia and YesAsia. Though, YesAsia is a little more expensive, you can get free shipping... :)

Also, Play-Asia has a few things you can't get elsewhere. The only other place that comes to mind is Gamemusic.com. Price is slightly higher and shipping is up there, but it's located in the states.

I request help for identifying 4 tracks from the PS2 game "Urban Reign". They are the only ones that interested me in the rip and that I kept, but they don't have track names.

The composers (Rio Hamamoto, Junichi Nakatsuru, Katsuro Tajima, Akitaka Toyama, Yoshihito Yano) are part of the Namco Sound Team and worked on several recent series projects including Ace Combat, Ridge Racer, Tekken, Soul calibur and Katamari.

Here is a link to download them, if anyone can help: http://s62.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1...S251BDBCRD1KX7

Thanks!

I have been wondering ever since I saw this trailer on a demo disc I once got with a PS mag (must be about 9 years ago), and I still love it. Does anyone what this is?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNAyq4cf5fE&search=FFVII


(FFVII trailer)

I remember hearing this piece in a TV commercial a couple of years ago (post '97). So I'm not even sure if it's something that Square produced themselves. I tried to find some info on it myself back in the day, but I found nothing.

Who wrote music for GV Online?
 

Hi there, I wonder if you have any information about this nice soundtrack:

www.jeff.ali213.net/GVOnline/index.htm

It's called GV Online by that chinese site, but I couldn't find any information about the soundtrack. All I know the game is made by KOEI. anyone can help?:1zhelp:

That site doesn't even work for me, so I can't help you there.

HEY DOES anyone know who composed the little jingle that plays when you turn the Gamecube on (both of them)?

Sorry, http://jeff.ali213.net/GVOnline/index.htm

I guess the www one makes you countered an error. Anyway, I hope someone could help me.;) The OST is orchestrated. It's pity such great music left the composer unknown.

Composer for TWINE music?
 

Just wondering if anyone knows who composed all of The World Is Not Enough (N64) Music.....Thanks!

Neil Baldwin is credited for Audio, so I guess he composed the music for this game. I know he did at least another soundtrack, for Machine Hunter.

Rimo, do you know who wrote music for Uncharted Water Online?
http://jeff.ali213.net/GVOnline/index.htm

I kinda guessed it's Yoko Kanno. But I'm not really sure.

I don't know, but if you search for "Uncharted Waters Online" and "Yoko Kanno", here's two pages that seems to confirm your guess:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncharted_Waters

I seek help for identifying some tracks (from which games they are from). They are all from a rip of an old PSX demo disc I downloaded long ago, but I can't seem to be able to find info about it. According to the tags, it was released in 1995 and is called "PSX Demo Disc 1". Out of them all, the only track I believe I heard elsewhere is "Track 8", but still, I can't put my finger on which game it is, and it's beginning to drive me crazy! So, any help is welcome and thanks!

Here's a download link for the rip: http://s41.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2...Q0H67IDXWZSXTK

Tracks 5 and 6 are from Rage Racer; they're tracks 2 and 14 respectively from the Red Book audio (the rip starts at 1). Don't know any of the other ones, but they're NOT from RR, so they're probably from other games on the demo disc.

Oh nice! Thanks a lot, CHz! With this, I've been able to find out the disc is in fact "Jampack Vol.1" (1997). I've also been able to replace where I heard Track 8 -> from the game "Lifeforce Tenka". But I'm still uncertain about the rest... here are the games featured on the disc:

The unknown tracks are probably from these:

NBA Shootout '97 (probably not)
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (probably not)
Dynasty Warriors
Thunder Truck Rally
Rally Cross

The first three tracks might be from this one, but I only remember the main theme:

Pitfall 3D

I verified these and the tracks aren't from them:

Machine Hunter
The Lost World
MDK
Herc's Adventure

And the two we've identified so far:

Rage Racer
Lifeforce Tenka

I've dug up the most recent list from my hard drive. Hopefully, I'll be posting it on our forums and wikis, as well.

Ok, this is driving me nuts. You all know the wonderful song "Symphonic Poem 'Forbidden Prelude'" from Drag-On Dragoon 2. I have to know; what language are they singing in?? Are there any lyrics for this song anywhere? I love this song to death, it is definitely in my top 5 all-time VGM favorites, but I can't even sing along to it, or even figure out what they're saying in the first place.

Somebody has to know.

Song Identification
 

Does anyone recognize this tune? It came from "Civ II" but I'm pretty sure it's not original. It originally accompanied the "DaVinci's Workshop" wonder.

Yeah, and we still do. Obviously you didn't read before posting. Merging the threads now.

Double Post:
Thread title updated to draw more attention.

Thanks. That's just the kind of neon blinking sign that dunderheads like me need :D

Hahaha. Well I'm always looking for ways to improve things. I also updated the rules themselves a bit.

Okay who did the music to Mickey's Speedway USA (N64).

This is vital information

Could someone tell me the catalogue number of the music for Da Vinci Online game Soundtrack by Gary Kibler?

http://rapidshare.de/files/18958000/...track.zip.html
or
http://dl11cg.rapidshare.de/files/18...Soundtrack.zip

Alright, this is a strange request, but is anyone able to recognise the music played in the background of this skit? The track is from a German hip-hop album and the guy is obviously playing video-games. I want to get hold of the track played in games, so any help would be appreciated.

The album in question is from 2002, so any games released later than that might be out of the question. It sounds like a beat 'em up game, with some heavy sword-slashing and whatnot. Also, the buttons are rather loud, so I'm thinking it must be a DC, N64, GameCube or an Xbox game. That's all I could figure out...

Thanks to whomever give this one a try.

Alright, here's a toughie.

Who composed the Starsiege: Tribes soundtrack? Not Tribes 2, I mean the original one. Thorough searching through the game disc files, installed files, game credits, printed game credits, and on the internet has left me without an answer to this. FYI, the 10 tracks are in the format of redbook as tracks 2-11 on the game disc. Or maybe tracks 1-10. So there is no tag info, either.

Anybody happen to know the track order for Jets'n'Guns? That is, which order they play in the game.

Hello,
Since we're supposed to post questions regarding individual songs here, here goes nothing.

I've been searching for who did a certain song, mainly so that I could try to find more by the same artist(s). This is probably the single best rendition of a video game song turned to metal that I've ever heard. Hopefully this link thingy works...

Unknown - Castlevania - Bloody Tears

The closest I could come is Minibosses or The Black Mages, but neither sounds quite right. If someone could shed some light on the subject or point me in the direction of where to look, I would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure. But that track is damn ROCKIN'. Also, I do notice the BLACK MAGES similarity, though I would not say it is them. This may be off one of the Dracula Battle albums (I haven't heard them yet so I'm unsure).

Look for something called Castlevania - Symphony of the Night Complete. There's two tracks on there (10 and 11) called Bloody Tears - Rock Ver. 1 and Bloody Tears - Rock Ver. 2.

Cool. Symphony of Night Complete...are those the only metal-ized tunes on there? Heh, at least some people have more clue than I do.

By the way, are there any other tunes like this that anyone knows of? I've heard a few of Youtube, but I was looking for just mp3s to make my life easier.

Thanks a lot for the info.

This track is indeed from one of the Dracula Battle albums. The first one to be exact. You can find more info about them right here. And if you want to download them, feel free to get them from my FTP server. You'll find more info about that if you follow the link in my signature.

Just a minor question, would the two pieces of credits below represent the official music composers for Super Mario Strikers?

Sound Design & Music / Voice / Voice Scripting
Graig Robertson

Additional Music
Kyle Nordman (Swara Studio Ltd.)


http://www.mobygames.com/game/gamecu...rikers/credits

Yes, I would say so. "Music" is pretty specific. It's used often in place of "Composer". However they can, in some cases, have both (that obviously doesn't apply here).

So, the composers would be:
Graig Robertson, Kyle Nordman

Anybody know who the composers were for Sonic the Hedgehog (XBox360)? I know Jun Senoue did a few tracks but I'm clueless as far as the others go.

Please help me identify this!

VGM-wise, this is part of the "International Karate" theme, composed by Rob Hubbard for the C64 game. However, the original composition is not his; it was actually composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto, as the theme for the movie "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence".

Thank you very very much Rimo ;-; I can't express how grateful I am. The first vibes I got was "this must be from some Japanese film", I was wondering if it was some anime-style film which I haven't watched.

There's a really popular version on solo piano (I say popular because I've heard that version multiple times elsewhere). Is it part of the original film soundtrack or did someone do another rendition?

Also, I searched for International Karate theme but could only find an acapella rendition of the theme on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAY_fJ4IHHE), and it doesn't follow the original theme exactly. Did they sing it wrongly or is the theme from the game slightly different from the movie's theme?

There have been different versions of this track made by Sakamoto, but the version used in the film isn't a straight piano piece so it might not be the one you've heard.

Yeah, I managed to find it already, his piano performance on youtube along with transcriptions from this forum. There is definitely a version that was produced as a piano solo though... my local television uses themes from other movies, pop songs etc. to spruce up previews of shows that are to come. Obviously a good quality track would be needed for them to use it like that. So it's out there somewhere.

Thanks everyone!

In the video of the Visa Röster a capella version, the melody from the sample you posted is sang by the blond girl with the red dress, starting at 1:07. The original game version is actually not identical to the theme by Sakamoto; it uses some motifs and is arranged differently, and at the ~4:00, it switches to a more rapid section.

If you want to check out the original C64 version, here's a link to it: http://sid.oth4.com/series/01/mp3/Ro...arate_6581.mp3

Noob here.

Hey sometime ago, I found some music files from Sonic CD. They were extracted from the game, but they weren't actualy used in the game. Someone went through the entire CD and found some them compressed. They were more like little intros to each level and they only lasted for about 10 seconds. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? They aren't included on the Jap/US Soundtracks.

Xenosaga Episode III - "On Our Ways"
 

This is probably going to sound like a very silly questions... but does anyone actually recall where this track is actually played in the game?

From what I recall playing through it, I never once heard this track in the game itself.

I hope someone sees this message and answers it; this is the first time I noticed this thread, so hopefully other people know of it's existence so they can aid me here. Can someone please give me the names of the artists and their corresponding tracks on the ee'MALL & ee'MALL 2nd Avenue Sound Tracks?

I've got the tracks and all, I'm just missing artist information.

Here's the back cover which shows most of the artists in English. If someone could translate the Japanese artists, then that would be fantastic.

This website lists the artists. If you copy&paste them in google or look them up on Bemanistyle.com (which is unfortunately down right now), you should be able to find the Romaji names. If not, tell me and I look them up for you later :-/
---

I've just listened to a track from Ka no Hana Music Collection (HIDPC-3006) which sounds very familiar.
The trackname is Ayahana, but I am 100% sure I've heard it somewhere before in another game...and it's got to be rather old, too - maybe from Snes days? Any help is appreciated:
Get the Flash Player to play this audio file: :(

What the hell, I shouldn't have put this shit in my playlist. There is another one I swear I've heard before:
Get the Flash Player to play this audio file: At first I thought this was People Seized With Life from Chrono Cross due to those pauses between the melody - but it's definitely not. Yet, the melody I've heard before. As far as I know, it's not a classical piece either (maybe from a movie score?).
Either Agematsu has stolen everything together here, or he's copying somebody.

edit: The latter one is apparently Sadness from Xenosaga Ep.1

Mega Man X music artists
 

I have the Mega Man X 1-6 collection.... and in a couple cases, the actual artist is a bit of a mystery to me.

Akemi Kimura is credited for doing the openings / endings to all the songs on the final disc..... is this possibly correct? Akemi's name doesn't even show up on the soundtracks until Mega Man X6. How could she have done the opening theme for X4?

The only thing I can think of is that they arranged it by artist credit, but it just doesn't seem to make much sense even that way. I don't see Akemi's name until X6.

Yeah, Kimura didn't do anything on X1-5.

X6 is tracks 1-25 on the last disc, so I'm thinking that wherever you've gotten the information from (tags or an album info page somewhere) just gave Kimura credit for the entire disc (ugh).

Since the tracks are from X3-5, they should be credited to the composers for those games. From http://www.gamingforce.com/audio/gfa-albums.php?id=256:

X3: Minakuchi Engineering Staff, Toshihiko Horiyama, Syusaku Uchiyama, Yoshino Aoki & Makoto Tomozawa
X4: Toshihiko Horiyama
X5: Naoto Tanaka, Naoya Kamisaka & Takuya Miyawaki

Thanks for reassuring me.

I downloaded it from gamemp3s. They haven't released the mix torrent for 'R' yet so it might be worth notifying them about the incorrect tagging, just so future downloaders don't have to change it.

By the way, neat place you directed me to, literally didn't know it existed. May play with this for a while.

Was there ever any composer info released for Tetris & Dr. Mario for Super NES? There's nothing at GameFAGs, MobyGames nor SNESMusic.org, and the two existing rips for this game (Bishop743's and shadowlink56's) don't have composer info either.

Can we get some light shed on this?

The game has no credits afaik. The music is mostly arrangements from the original music from Tetris and Dr. Mario on NES and GB. The original Dr. Mario was composed by Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka.

For Super Mario Bros. 2 (the original Japan one, not the USA one), did it have any music different from its predecessor?

Hi guys,

I was directed here from a guy in this thread:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=5953412

Basically, I was hoping someone here would help point in the right direction in search of some music.

Really really nice video ...definately shows they should've reconsidered asking Michael Giacchino (and Chris Tilston) to score this given it makes the game sound more MOH than 'action movie'.

Incidentally though, WHERE IS THIS MUSIC FROM?! :s It's been bugging me all week now...

After little help from the GT forums themselves ("it's Red Faction?") I was hoping all you guys are movie and game savvy enough to have at least a good guess.

It's not from the Black OST, as I have that through iTunes. I went through both my Pirates of Caribbean OSTs, Batman Begins... even back to Peacemaker and DropZone, but I can't pinpoint it. Sounds very House of Zimmmerish.

Anyone know?

I know this is a site for game music but a number of people here share anime music and are knowledgeable about it......

I am going to tag the 3 Cowboy Bebop OSTs and I am wondering how many of the songs I should credit "The Seatbelts" for in the artist field of the tag. As far as I know, Yoko Kanno composed all three discs, but didn't The Seatbelts play the music?

Maybe this needs a bump after the downtime? I'd like to tag the MP3s...... they're horrible as they are right now. =/ If this is the wrong place to request this, sorry, but I don't know where to find this information.

If there are multiple artists, then it seems to be standard to list them all, each seperated by a comma.

For example: Starcraft (Game Rip)
<Glenn Stafford, Jason Hayes, Derek Duke, Big Tuna> - Terran 2

For the Cowboy Bebop OSTs, it would probably be acceptable to use something like <Yoko Kanno, The Seatbelts> as the artist credit. Most people seem to understand what the comma implies.

Only the first and third of the three soundtracks have per-track credits as far as musicians are concerned. And while it's true that the Seatbelts play (and are credited) on many of the tracks, there are also many tracks featuring non-Seatbelts musicians or only select members of the band.

Generally people won't put musicians in the artist field and personally, in this case, I would credit Kanno for all non-vocal tracks (the only exception, track 18 on the second album, which was remixed by DJ FOOD) and the vocalist in question for the respective vocal tracks.

Hmm, and I don't know which of those tracks are which. =/

Okay, I guess I'll just go with Yoko. Thanks, this has been bugging me for a while, I asked like the day before GFA.com went down.

I was wondering if anyone knew who composed the music for Bleach - Heat the Soul 4? It has only been released in Japan and I can't find any credit entries in gamefaqs nor at mobygames.com.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can someone start their Final Fantasy X, ...
 

...go to the Sphere Theater and tell me if this track here is "#M56: Illusion" or "#M58: Nostalgia" from the music spheres? I haven't got a copy at the moment...

I need to know the names of 2 metal gear solid 3 tracks...
 

I need to know the names of 2 tracks:

1. The track that plays when you first talk to "the boss" over the radio.
2. The track that plays during the "caution" stage of being caught (it played when the two soldiers starting looking for you after you faced the boss and she got away on her horse).

Thanks.

Anyone know this song from Winter Games (1986, Epyx)? If you don't recognize it from the beginning, skip to the part at 0:39, that's the most memorable section.
I've heard orchestra versions of it before, so it's a classical composition they used for the game.

EDIT: Solved - it's the "Waltz of the Flowers" from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker.

There's this old game, called "Dragon - A Bruce Lee Story". It was released in 1993 (or so) on SNES and several other platforms, it featured some very catchy music. Thus I am very eager to know, who was the composer on it.
Mobygames has the game credits, but still no information regarding the composer.

It does, actually. It lists Matt Furniss for "Music + sound FX". And I can't imagine the Sega Master System getting a completely new soundtrack (although I don't know the game).

It is likely that the tunes of one are arrangements of the tunes in another (although it is of course possible that they are different), but just because Furniss did the soundtrack to the SMS version doesn't mean that he did the SNES soundtrack.

In fact, I will give an example: Cool Spot's SMS soundtrack was done by Furniss, but the SNES one was by Tommy Tallarico, Joey Kuras, and Steven S. Henifin.

Also, if MobyGames has some game credits like that but doesn't list the composer, it probably is the case that the game did not list the composer in the credits. Which means that you might be out of luck. :(

It's a shame, really. And the fact is, I'm interested exactly in the SNES version :(

Well, did you think about playing through the game? I mean, there has to be some kind of staff roll.

Been there, done that, and yet there's nothing on the composer.
It's just like CHz said, if there is no composer info on the game credits, then there will be none on MobyGames.
I'm just hoping, that this game was on some composer's portfolio.
For instance, Billy Martin was hired by Ubisoft to write some music for Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, he had only one day at his disposal.
As a result, his name was not displayed in the developer credits. But, there is information about his contribution to the game
on his website (http://www.billymartinmusic.com/news.htm - look for November 2005).


Maybe, just maybe, the situation with "Dragon" is similar.

I have a quick question I've been mulling over for the last couple days. Does anyone who composed Growlanser VI? If so, it'd be great if you could share that information. I bought the OST last week but the booklet has NO info whatsoever about who did the music for it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll ask this here, figuring that this would be the safest place.

Does anyone know where to find the English translation of Okami's ending theme, 'Reset'? I've found the Japanese lyrics, but havent been able to find the English translation anywhere. Thanks in advance! <3

Anyone know where to find "Hepatica-KOSMOS" lyric and translation?
I don't know even which language is in this song but I love it. :)

All I found is that "Chata" (茶太) sung the opening and ending. She's an artist that originated from the doujin music sphere. All other sources I could find just mention a "Team Entertainment" for the compositions. =s

Given the relatively slow posting pace of the forum and the fact I think this thread receives poor attention, I thought it'd be ok to try to allow all information requests outside of this thread. Let's see how it goes, k ~

Haven't touched the rules/links in ages, so I fixed a few things right now. I'm reopening this thread for opening post feedback only if anyone has any. We will continue to follow niki's plan about using request threads to gather info.

I don't think there have been any rule changes, but I fixed a few links in the opening post.
