Thanks to Sonic X getting lots of new kid viewers hooked on the Sonic The Hedgehog series, Sonic Heroes aimed for a younger audience.That’s why Team Sonic’s song “We Can” has much simpler lyrics, but still keeps that Sonic energy!

Can you identify every Sonic The Hedgehog easter egg Jun Senoue snuck into his arrangement of “Cheerleaders A-Go-Go (Rock Guitar Mix)” from the Space Channel 5 Part 2: Moji Moji Can't Stop Remix album??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAk6DNtYdYs #RSIndividual

For our American listeners/followers, do you remember POP-CORN Time? For decades you could call a certain number (web search "7672676") and...get the time! One of many American quirks Jun Senoue gushed about in his Guitar Shop diary

Masayuki Nagao and the group MEGABEAT somehow managed to make the OST for SNK’s Janshin Densetsu: Quest of Jongmaster in 1994, likely without Nagao knowing! In addition, some of their old SANTOS friends like @Kin68000 created the game itself, at Aicom Corporation.

Obviously with how hot a topic Sonic 3's OST is, Nagao-san's been asked about it since the early 2010’s, when people stopped thinking he was a fake name used by Naofumi Hataya. He did some sound programming & Act 2 theme arrangements.

Noticed certain Individuals from previous Game Gear Month shows being mentioned in this Masayuki Nagao one? 😅

Kojiro Mikusa (Sonic Chaos)
Saori Kobayashi (Deep Duck Trouble, HaoPai2)
Yayoi Wachi (Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba)

Did you know one of the scenario themes in Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine sounds a bit like the "Match Up" theme in one of Nagao-san’s 21st century works: Space Invaders Evolution?

A song in 1993's Shinobi III is composed by Nagao-san: the opening "SHINOBI" theme. Morihiko Akiyama & Hirofumi Murasaki did every other song in the OST, but Masayuki produced all the music, likely in terms of programming/arrangement.

While the Game Gear version of Aa Harimanada doesn't have credits, you can tell the same sound team made it, as in the video game you can find the boss music theme from Nagao-san's slightly earlier made Doraemon game!

“Sona mi areru ec sancitu”, #PanzerDragoonSaga’s ending theme, was sung by vocalist Eri Ito, one of Saori Kobayashi’s college mates. She sings it in Panzerese but goofed off in the demo version, singing the sound teams' names instead.

With how much music is in Panzer Dragoon Saga, 1 disc wasn’t enough to fit it all onto an album, but they sure tried! Every release after it has made it 2 discs, and always with 1 or 2 bonus remixes! #RSIndividual 🎧▶️ http://radiose.ga/listen

Most of Saori Kobayashi's later SEGA music creations were Football games. A fun coincidence is that both series’ star musicians were "Juns": Jun Senoue and Junko Shiratsu!

As Saori Kobayashi made sound effects for NiGHTS into dreams..., she like the rest of the sound team revealed some of themselves to the public on the official NiGHTS Sound website (which is still up btw!)

Blue Seed is an off-beat RPG by the same devs of Phantasy Star IV & the Saturn version of Magic Knight Rayearth. Miss Kobayash-san was one of the people who ported over composer Kenji Kawai's original anime's soundtrack. #RSIndividual 🎧▶️ http://radiose.ga/listen

Some Sonic the Hedgehog games on Game Gear had Saori Kobayashi on their dev teams such as Triple Trouble and Drift 2. Little fun fact, some Sonic cameos have showed up before those aforementioned games, like in…Torarete Tamaruka!?

While Saori Kobayashi worked at SOUND M’S before @SEGA, her first game, Inspector Gadget, came out in December. That same month she made a double SEGA debut w/ Game Gear’s Deep Duck Trouble & Taisen Mahjong Hao Pai, building connections.

Starting my Saori Kobayashi-focused magazine articles summarizations for #RSIndividual.

I might come back to summarize more articles, but to save time I've only done a couple for "Donald Duck 2".
