thanks to the modern miracle that is suruga-ya’s free international shipping weekends, i recently got ahold of a physical copy of the psychic force ost for an actual pittance. the first track on there is one i’ve never heard before, ho shi i. it’s a vocal cover version of sonia’s theme carry away. it’s got incredibly powerful 90s japan energy:
this seems to mainly be a fighting game thing, as far as i can tell. i remember this version of ryu’s theme become an injoke among some of my friends in the early 00s
and there’s two whole albums of guilty gear x songs
and despite what i said above, i think the most famous one of these is the dreams come true version of the sonic 2 ending theme
though in this case, the vocal version came first iirc
guardian heroes title screen. (There’s also that song with the male vocals I think is based on an in-game song, but I can’t find a video of it anymore.)
mischief makers title screen
Much of this album is stage music from twinbee games
dreams dreams (I’m not really a fan of this song for the record…)
I know there’s probably some on those data east gamadelic albums from the early 90s but they are pretty bad, it would suck to try and figure out if anything is worth hearing
)
