This section will be the first to post sound-related information about Sonic Adventure and Sonic Team. Check back often! We have three announcements this time! |
|
Feb./19/1999 CD introduction page is ready! |
|
The introduction to the CD about Sonic Adventure is interesting to listen to and read. This time, we have opened a page introducing "musical works related to Sonic and Sonic Team" other than Sonic Adventure, which had been under construction. You might find some of them quite rare! Check it out!!!! Click here for the Music CD page. |

Feb./17/1999 Chao's Voice Hi-Mi-Tsu |
|
For two weeks this week and next, an interview with Sasaki-san, who is well known for her sound of NiGHTS and "Manamoan", will appear in the "Women in the Digital Industry" section in the "Weekly ASCII" magazine. Her name is also on the staff roll of Sonic Adventure, but it wasn't just because they let us use the song from NiGHTS! In the meantime, read on!!!! Oh, and speaking of magazines, be sure to check out From A, on sale 3/1! |

Feb./16/1999 Segakara |
|
When I informed you the other day, I thought I wrote "Distribution start date: Coming soon"... (chuckles) Apparently, when I went there, I said to myself, "What? It's not in there!" I heard that some people were in a situation like that. In the meantime, they are planning to deliver it by the end of February, so just wait and see. If you see "I'm in!", I'll let you know on BBS or chat! |
|
Feb./12/1999 I'm starting a new corner! |
|
We have started a new section called the Recording Diary. The first is the New York Recording section, a two-part series of diaries and photographs. But sorry, the photo page is heavy. |
|
Feb./12/1999 That's all I got!!!! "Open Your Heart" is also available as a bilingual translation. |
|
The bilingual translation of "Open Your Heart" has been uploaded, which was left off in the last update. Check it out!!!! The lyrics page, where you can also see the bilingual translation, is here. |
|
Feb./12/1999 I'm about to enter Segakara!!!! Everybody sing!! |
|
Segakara had me yelling, "When in the world is this going to be released?" In fact, we had to have the data reworked many times. Sorry for the delay!!! It would probably be best if I could go over to you all and play for you, but I can't deal with all that. (laughs) Unlike a real live performance, a karaoke communication system uses data to play the sound source, so of course there are differences, but we repeatedly asked them to improve the quality as much as possible. Thanks to Sega Music Networks and all those involved in the data production. It should be available soon and we will keep you posted!
Song title: Open Your Heart |

Feb./12/1999 Music CD mail order please! |
|
The mail order of music CDs seems to be "good to go", and people are using the service. One note, however! Don't forget to write down the part number of the CD you are ordering! For more information on Sonic Team related music CDs, click here. |
|
Jan./29/1999 If it's not for sale... Just make it available for purchase and we'll be OK! |
|
Thanks to your support, the Sonic Adventure-related music CDs seem to be well received. But on the other hand, it is also true that some people say, "I can't find it in my neighborhood", "I can't find it", or "Maybe I have to order it in...". So, for those of you who are...! Pony Canyon, the distributor of the MMV soundtrack, is Only Sonic Adventure and other Sonic Team related music CDs will be accepted. They now accept mail orders! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! Puff, puff, puff~! If you haven't heard it yet, take this opportunity to listen to it, and if you already have it, take this opportunity to commemorate it (what?!?). Buy not one, but two or three! What's wrong with wasting your money.... (laugh).... For more information on Sonic Team related music CDs, click here. |

Jan./29/1999 Here you go! Japanese bilingual lyrics are available. |
|
The theme song has been well received, saying, "It fits the character". But the vocal mini-album also has only English lyrics, so we received requests for the content in Japanese, or to sing the theme song in Japanese even if we had to force ourselves to do so. Now, for you...! A bilingual translation is provided for each song. The lyricist's thoughts, his struggles... There are also comments such as Some of the users were so excited that they were eager to translate and publish the translation. Seeing the reaction, I was reminded that there are many needs... I was reminded of this. The lyrics page is here. |

Jan./29/1999 Introduction of the magazine in which the interview was published |
|
Apparently, it was released on 1/20... A magazine called "Piano Monthly", seemingly unrelated to Sonic Adventure, published an interview about Sonic Adventure, albeit only briefly. The opening feature is "It's the Game of the Year Again!" and this is the introduction. But what's with the "unintelligible creature" about Chao!!!!
Magazine name: Monthly Piano 1999/Feb. |
|
Jan./20/1999 SONIC ADVENTURE "Digi-Log Conversation" O.S.T. released! |
|
Finally, the original soundtrack disc of Sonic Adventure has been released! This is the fourth Sonic Adventure-related music CD, and as much as possible, it contains full versions of the instrumental tracks used in the game as they were recorded. If you've been wondering about the music, check it out! Oh, and of course I've already checked out the vocal mini-albums... right? Right? For more information on the soundtrack disc, click here. |
|
Jan./20/1999 There's a club event! |
|
A club event will be held to coincide with the launch of "CLUB SEGA 2" as described below. Hex Hector, one of N.Y.'s leading club DJs who remixed SONIC R on CD, is coming to Japan. They should bring in some local club flavor. Details of the event are as follows -- SOUND TRAX VOL.11 -- |

Jan./20/1999 CLUB SEGA 2 on sale! |
|
"CLUB SEGA" was released last year and has established a new movement in the club scene and has been on NTV's "Countdown Groove" show for over 4 months. As the title suggests, it is a club mix of SEGA's game sounds, and the second in the series, "CLUB SEGA 2 ~Beat Grooves~" has been released. For this album, I'm taking vocal songs with English lyrics as the subject matter and remixing them by dance music creators from all over the world. Since we're presenting it here, there's something about the Sonic team... I guess that's what I'm saying. In fact, songs like this one have been remixed.
Work It Out ...from SONIC R Title: CLUB SEGA 2 ~Beat Grooves~ |

Jan./8/1999 MIDI file of Open Your Heart included in DTM Magazine! |
|
Literally, it's a magazine for people who enjoy DTM (desktop music), and in it is an interview about the sound of Sonic Adventure. The page it's on is p. 23, not p. 44 as stated in the table of contents... Check it out. But I still think that the tokoikun in this picture is not quite right.... Also, this magazine has a serialized section called "Game Music Fan Club", where we pick up a song in each issue and create MIDI data for it. In the past, songs from NiGHTS and Sega Rally 2 have been featured, but this time, Open Your Heart is the subject of this project. The CD-ROM that comes as an appendix has MIDI data, so check it out if you are interested. Magazine name: DTM MAGAZINE 1999/Feb. |
